^ Seems they’ve done quite the sold-out world tour over the years - and are also in London this week (12th-17th August).
 

I don’t think you could pay me enough to go to this event…

“The power of one! The power of two! The power of many!”
That scene and episode was so bad, it made me give up on The Acolyte. I haven’t watched any of the episodes that came after that one.

I cringe just thinking about this… definitely the worst for me

tough to pick just one but the final rescue of kleya in Andor S2 was very well constructed; so much anticipation and uncertainty in those hallways. also the prison break in S1… andor is by far the best star wars show

UPDATE (16/08/25): This is going to be the last update before I leave for Rhodes on Tuesday. I managed to grab the second Chinese bootleg DVD, though it is the same as the previous, but it looks to have zero reauthoring aside from shrinking to single layer. Thankfully, the subtitles seem to have zero issues since on the first, there would seem to be a small square in on blank spaces between the number of subtitles appearing. This wasn’t the case in the second bootleg, though the size of it is still the same, so I think it was Disney’s doing.

I love Rodos; I drove around the island some years back. enjoy your trip

I have a vivid recollection of watching TROS in theaters when I was little, when I didn’t really care to discern good vs bad cgi. looking back, I now wonder what version I watched at that time…
this is partly what has led me to seek out the theatrical releases for the sequels

this list is probably hanging on a wall somewhere in Disney headquarters, all the plotholes waiting to be filled by some mediocre episode of a new series…

thank you for organizing this

while I disagree with many of Lucas’ ridiculous stylistic revisions, you can’t say this wasn’t a good interview

I’m very new to the Star Wars EU but listened to my first audio book last week. Did a Google search of where to start with the Legends books and gave Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void by Tim Lebbon, took awhile to get into but really enjoyed and highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t read/listened to it or like myself just starting out with the EU.

Here is a link to the wookiepedia site that gave a list of where to start, if anyone is interested.

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline_of_Legends_books#js

this chronological list is intimidating for sure though I am curious to see how many of these novels follow an unconventional character, not just your average good guy. I favor lost stars for this reason, although I haven’t read it yet. I like the idea of a different perspective

sorry about the double post, not sure how that happened. what are your thoughts on the new toy story film by the way?

Haven’t seen it, though I did hear from some people it’s just a needless cash grab, which shows.

sadly it is true. what was most impressive was the advancement in cgi. but I don’t think the films add anything new to the franchise

there is a nostalgic connection to these films after all… I wonder if kids these days will feel the same way about the sequels

sorry about the double post, not sure how that happened. what are your thoughts on the new toy story film by the way?

never thought I would see so much effort put into this franchise. excited for the results

it has been completed and is available here, it seems…

never thought I would see so much effort put into this franchise. excited for the results

excited to watch these once I’m able to download them

having played the original KOTOR 1 on xbox, I was reminiscing on my phone some years ago and found an android version on the google store. I think it was 10 dollars, but well worth the price. worked surprisingly well for an android version and it is especially convenient if you no longer have time to sit down and play on a traditional console

hello, trying to get my post count up so I can download the prequel trilogy films to continue watching in this order
andor s1 s2 > rogue 1 > anh > tesb > tpm > aotc > rots > rotj > maybe mandalorian

thanks for making this rip. currently trying to download it…

I used to have a Dagobah playset as a child. I loved that one

doing a rewatch with my girlfriend after finishing andor and rogue one. thanks for the effort on these
