You know what I’m really enjoying? How new Star Wars content is so fun and exciting that it’s making us speculate and come up with our own stories to fill in the gaps/backstory. It feels like the old days (when Star Wars was only three movies) speculating about what these mysterious “clone wars” must’ve been like, how Obi-wan beat Anakin on a volcano, or how Han escaped the Imperial Academy and rescued Chewie. While I’ve enjoyed a lot of the new Star Wars content, I haven’t felt like this in a long time.
I agree. I remember debating with my friends after TESB about Vader being Luke’s father (spoiler? lol). I was sure Vader was lying. I was wrong, but I didn’t mind it one bit. I loved RotJ. I have no idea about the inner workings of a sarlacc or how Boba lost his armor, but I’m going to enjoy watching it in three weeks! I wish more Star Wars fan discussions could be as amicable.
