The Original Trilogy - a general Random Thoughts thread — Page 3

Personally, I’m so pleased that we now finally have a truly worthy Prequel Trilogy (2 seasons of Andor + Rogue One) for the Original Trilogy.

The other Prequel releases - the one true Prequel Trilogy: the 1978 Holiday Special and the 2 theatrical Ewok films… along with the other more dissonant PT films from '99-'05… never really cut it for me (though am glad others seem to enjoy them).

It has certainly been a long wait - yet a worthwhile one.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Of course, each season is 3-4 movies of material

ROTJ Storyboard Reconstruction Project

Was the intention in 1977-1983 that the Jedi were secretive even before the rise of the Empire and the Jedi Purge? That would explain why Han and Motti don’t believe in The Force, Obi-Wan mentioning that Vader was his pupil and Vader mentioning that Obi-Wan was his master doesn’t lead anyone to realize that Vader is Anakin, and why Luke doesn’t recognize Yoda.

I also find it interesting that Luke seems to hide his meeting with Yoda from the Rebellion in ROTJ.

Is this ever explained in universe?

I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.

Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.

My movie reviews aren’t AI, they’re just written by someone who’s Neurodivergent. If you don’t like them, then simply don’t read them.
