SW You’re all clear kid - let’s blow this thing and go home
TESB I don’t believe it / That is why you fail
ROTJ I’m a Jedi, like my father before me

I think they’re both improvements. Leaving Ghost Shaw in there would be a plot hole, IMO, as unscarred Shaw never existed.
Doesn’t matter. He’s part of the Force and thus can take on any form of his choice.
What if he wanted to come back as a goose?
ESB is the better directed film imo but ANH has a certain quality that has never been duplicated. I’m guessing it’s due to it being made when there was no clue to what it would become and it being the first SW movie made as well. It feels very different to me when I watch compared to the 8 that came after.
Simpler innit? No Sith, no family complications, really, no greater weight, no back story, just simple fairy tale.
Isn’t the whole point of the PT that the Jedi spend too much time worrying about nonsense and therefore took their eye off what was really important?
I want both Ewok movies and the Holiday Special!
Anyone else?
…anyone?..
(cricket sounds)
…
Ewoks are on Prime so maybe if Bezos and Iger get in a room and thrash it out!
Suppose this show on DisneyLife in the UK is wishful thinking?
What if it was hyphenated? Kylo-ren.
Or Ben-kylo-ren.
Or Kylo-ren-ben.
Or Obi-benkylo.
Or Sheev-ren.
Ha!
Anyone buy Celebration 2020 tickets yesterday?
But did they officially announce an appearance in the film itself from that person?
Yes.
Except they didn’t, because that person literally just said in an interview that they aren’t in it.
JJ has said he’s so glad Ian’s presence on set didn’t leak. Kathleen Kennedy said that having Palps back was always on the cards for 9.

Just a quick random thought.
I’ve always had a tulmtous relationship with my Dad, who passed away a few years ago and who I believe to have had a case of high functioning autism. I have felt a great deal of immutable criticism from him and longed for affirmations or validations which were exceedingly rare. It’s been helpful for me to recognize some of the underlying factors and the limitations he was working with all along.
One reason I appreciate the original ‘old man’ ghost of Anakin at the end of ROTJ is because not only do we see Anakin redeemed in the unmasking scene, we even get to see him fully restored into the man he should have been all along. He doesn’t revert to a juvenile state, but is legitimately restored to become what he wasn’t able to be. I know it’s a bit silly, but the image of this sort of restored man smiling back at me speaks to this deep part of me. Able to say those things to me which perhaps he wasn’t before.
Exactly how I always saw that scene even as a kid. Great post!
Such great memories of those VHS…
That makes some sense. They would be able to utilize a lot of craftspeople there who have worked on the films, and might make it easier for Ewan to commit to a lengthy shoot. I presume he doesn’t live in the states?
Quick Google suggests he has a home in LA and another in London.
If you had a chance to go to any of three planets where would you go?
I would go to:
Naboo
Dagobah
AlderaanEndor man myself.
Have fun with Vader out there! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePa6VuXBgHQ
That’s genius!

Although a fortnight in Naboo on a package holiday, all you can drink, lake view room and shuttle from the spaceport would be nice. See you for the welcome drinks and excursions upsell!
Sad to hear this Jay but huge thank you for everything that you’ve done for the site and community over the years.
Count me in for a donation, and +1 to those suggesting a monthly amount tracker - that’s motivating.
Onwards!
Yep! Did it twice in London.
It’s short, but absolutely outstanding.
Amazing thread!
Absolutely amazing stuff.
Thank you to everyone administering this site!
But neither Fake-Tarkin or Jar-Jar were the first rough attempts at a ground breaking idea that paved the way etc. They’re both just expensive failures by people that should know better.
I personally don’t see them as failures.
Not perfect, but sufficiently good.
Can suspect disbelief for the five seconds we see Leia’s face, honestly. All good.
(Note: trailers, Disney approved magazine articles, etc are NOT spoilers).
Go!

Hamill, Billy Dee, and (archive Episode 7 footage of) Carrie Fisher confirmed…
Yeah, I just saw the trailer, but I’m not quite sure yet what exactly it is. I’m assuming they’ve finally finished the previously cancelled and half-finished seventh season, right? Or is this something new?
Wikipedia (currently) only says they’re releasing 12 new episodes.
One 12 episode season (source: James Arnold Taylor’s Twitter).
