People repeat things like that so that their story is consistent, to deceive themselves and sound convincing, like someone in court. Then when other people repeat the same misinformation it seems more likely to be true as the story gets passed around. If you’ve heard it more than once it’s more likely to be correct, right? Same old human nature / memory function combo. Just look at how people talk when they argue over the Disney vs the George version of the saga, since he’s the one true creator.

The first one was supposedly canon back then but I don’t remember about part two. What little story that sequel had. Technically I suppose Shadows of the Empire came before and tried the same thing.

What can I say, sound probably travels in that little dome they all live in.

Unless they do some serious work to change how stupid the ‘I am all the Jedi’ thing was it will never work. What does that even mean? How did Palpy die exactly? How is Rey even alive if her power is from the connection to Kylo and a balance of light rising to meet dark? These things could be examined and developed… but they won’t be. Problems that should have been resolved to make the ST story stronger should have been developed in TROS… but they weren’t. Nobody seems able to write a character study or a basic fantasy plot these days, never mind address these kind of potentially interesting ideas.

How would Owen know anything about Anakin’s convictions if he barely said “hello” to him.

He could have overheard Anakin shouting about the women and children he killed I guess.

Perception of criticism has devolved into red vs green on a site which shows no distinction between good scores and mediocre ones. It all just gets lumped together and called ‘fresh’ which is odd when a 100% rating can be all disappointed 6/10 reviews. As for snobbery… well let’s just say TROS gets 52% critic and 86% audience. Do all these perspectives hold the same value? Will that same adoring audience rush out to buy tickets for Episode X: Everyone Loves Rey?

It’s true that the general public probably doesn’t care as much. Many are probably happy with a fun adventure ending to the ST that had action and Palpatine stuff. We won’t know the reality unless it gets released and has a box office return to measure. That being said TROS made half the money that TFA did so this might not be good plan.

If it really happens that’d be one thing, but if it’s a success that’s something else. Adding more layers to
‘somehow Palpatine returned’ is the whole end game of the current TV glut after all. People should be annoyed but Daisy walked out on stage and everyone clapped like a bunch of seals so…

Yeah that is true, they will never actually admit failure in the same way they would admit the OOT exists in the vault. Also it feels like in the same way they wanted film releases to accelerate (for a while) they want the idea that older movies are becoming appreciated to accelerate too. Like the board said everyone likes the prequels now, given time everyone will like all our products, so why not just push it forward now.

They’ve cancelled a bunch of stuff and announced more new stuff. That could be cancelled. I wonder if it’s all just a big scam going on behind the scenes…

Weird but okay… I can see it all now.

It’s fifteen years later.
Rey and Finn are now only whispered about as legends.
Meanwhile rumours about the rise of a new dark power have begun to be heard…

It doesn’t say which version will be shown. But as others have said on here, it will probably be the 2019 Maclunkey version, so it will really be the 4th anniversary of Return Of The Jedi.

This.

The orange sabers look like props though… what’s going on

Unlike the other previously announced and cancelled films, I’m fairly confident we’ll see these films come to light.

I am not.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will need 144GB

Honestly I didn’t mind this one. Terrible lighting and bad cameo actor performances aside (seriously why was the palace and the duel in flat daylight?) it was just a random adventure. It was fun unlike the slog on Coruscant. The last two parts will have to be amazing but y’know that was always the case.

They need to fire whoever allowed the alien voices in the opening though. You remember how in the original movies a lot of the local actors were dubbed over? This is why.

I clicked on this out of morbid curiosity and soon switched off. Just the first few points he’s trying to make are kind of wild. We shouldn’t have the theatrical versions that the original artists won awards for because test screenings happened? What? The length of the video is also an immediate red flag. It’s just like that ‘Star Wars wasn’t really saved in the edit’ guy or the ‘Twin Peaks is Finally explained for real’ guy. They want to be right so much that they’ve lost sight of simple brevity. If the argument was so self evidently correct then it would be easier to explain and more satisfying to watch.

Yeah… Mando was a kid when the battle droids arrived.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Palpy shows up for more senate scenes to be honest. But the plot will probably revolve around them trying to find out what the super weapon is, to follow up the post credits tease. Plus they will have to find a way to lose characters who aren’t in Rogue One and deliver others. So bigger fractures between Saw and the Alliance, a reason to get K2 on board, the likely death of Bix and Vel. Maybe the defection of Galen Erso and the training of Jyn could be involved. What is the time frame?

Huh I just saw that EC Henry video, it was fun. As for this screenshot… it’s kind of odd they removed it. Maybe they deleted it because they spotted it?

If Beskar Steel is kind of indestructible how can a shard of it be left at a crime scene?

Huge chunks of the episode could have been cut if R5 was the key to locating the covert though. You could write any old techno babble if that’s all it took for Navarro to get in contact. Like the whole mines plot the whole pirate plot is now done, resulting in no change. What happened to Grogu and Mando as a team learning about stuff? Who knows, and the last two episodes will probably be something like a Rebels villain coming back helping Gideon… or more Dark Troopers (saber proofed). It’s a mess and it’s leading into a bunch of cross overs, again. I don’t really care about Bo Katan to be honest, but that’s the only real story beyond the cloning stuff.

The population of the settlement was like 20 people. But look over here, another cameo!

They’ve diluted it all too much now, so only something big will be good enough. You can’t really get back up the hype they had for an unknown cast in a new movie. So you’re left in a state where only a Rogue Squadron or an Obi-wan is enough. At least not for a long time.

Yeah it’s just a cameo for the super hardcore, or the handful of people that watched his Jedi gameshow or whatever it was.
