Regarding Annoying &quot;<em>Can I get a link</em>?&quot; Posts
Time

One more suggestion from me (honest!)

❗ The correct way of… how to ask for a fan project …on the OriginalTrilogy•com ❗ - is pinned up in the Fan Edits and Projects for Other Properties section of the site.

Would it be worth me posting up 3 more threads like this in the 3 other ‘Fan Project’ sections of the site - in Star Wars Preservation, Star Wars Fan Edits and Other Projects, and Preservation of Other Properties sections, and having them pinned up?

They may be a little help / another step in trying to stem the flow of so many ‘link request’ posts from newer members - as well as something easy and simple others can point to in giving newer members a ‘heads-up’.

No worries if not - just spitballing ideas 😃.
 

Edit: or repost and pin this ATTENTION NEW MEMBERS: “Link begging” posts will be deleted without notice - in in the 4 ‘Fan Project’ sections of the site?

  • Force new users through a rules acknowledgment step, especially emphasizing “no link requests.”

Yeah, that seems a good idea - so many seemingly choose to ignore the ‘Welcome To’, ‘Help’, ‘About’, ‘How Do I Do This?’ and the pinned ‘Index & Help’ info threads located around the site here - let alone both the ‘site rules’ & ‘fan project rules’… and just make another needles and unnecessary ‘link request’ posts.

Some people do likely visit here through a direct link elsewhere online - though to not look around for any assistance or guidance on how to acquire projects is somewhat baffling… (despite having to register and activate their accounts on here)… with a few newer members expecting help by posting issues and problems in the actual project threads (and not in ‘General Assistance’ or ‘Forum Feedback’ sections of the site).

 

  • Auto-remove or flag posts that include phrases like “any links?” or “where can I find…” from accounts with under X posts or under X days old.

I’d be up for manually deleting the various ‘link request’ posts on here. In an effort to not only clean the threads of these disruptive posts - but to also try and deter that all-too familiar mindset of 'the person above me made a link request post - so I will now too’ type of posting.

Plus, it is a real pity some project creators and members have left here over the project threads becoming ‘link request’ zones. It’d be a boom to get as many returning here as possible - and may help assuage others who may also be considering leaving here.

Simply getting project threads to be about the actual projects themselves once again; with thanks, feedback, reviews, suggestions, the exchange of ideas, overcoming technical or editing issues, possible future versions, or just simply joining in the posts on what people enjoyed about specific projects etc…

What Do YOU Think Star Wars Should Do Next?
Time

No more Andor…
 

 
So, now that Andor has finished (with all its compelling high quality storytelling and worldbuilding)… what now?

 

 

ANDOR Finale Review - What Can Disney Can Learn From the Best Star Wars Show?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rFiY5UUVw8 - a 30 minute video from the ScreenCrush youtube channel.

Note: the above video contains major spoilers for Andor 2x10, 2x11 & 2x12 (the final arc of Andor: Season 2).
 

The blurb: ‘Let’s dive deep into “Andor” and discuss what makes it stand out among other Star Wars TV shows. We’ll explore the show’s compelling themes, character-driven narrative, and production quality. Comparing “Andor” to shows like “The Book of Boba Fett” and “Ahsoka,” we examine why “Andor” succeeds in creating a powerful and engaging story. Join us as we analyze the differences in storytelling approaches and what lessons Lucasfilm can learn moving forward.’

 

^ Yeah, the above video, insightful as it is, is really an excuse for a bump to this quality thread (and engaging OP by Acbagel)

 

 

Also, something Tony Gilroy said - to his own writers - for Andor…

"A lot of times when you’re working on IP storytelling your impulse is to open the toy box and start playing with all the toys.

You should try to resist that.

What you should do is leave more toys in the toy box that were there when you got there.

Resisting the impulse to be a child and instead think more like a storyteller who is adding to the world rather than taking from it.”

^ as related by Andor screenwriter Tom Bissell; circa 3m 20s into this insightful and quality Q&A video from Backstory Magazine.

<em><strong>ANDOR</strong></em> - Disney+ Series - A General Discussion Thread
Time

Z6PO said:

Kleya & Vel spinoff when?!

I’d watch that.

A Dedra and Syril sitcom - based in their Coruscanti apartment, too. 😃

Mocata’s intriguing idea for Jynn and Saw series!

An ‘Adventures of Young Kleya and Luthen’ series as well, surely.

Uncle Harlow sitcom (we’ll never see him)

The building of Death Star II (something that Star Wars content has stayed / veered away from)

Or a whole sensual series on this…

 
 

Hard to imagine before Andor that this character, with merely ~60 seconds of screen-time in Return Of The Jedi, will be in 40+ years time… considered one of the most well-written and most important characters in all of Star Wars…

 

With additional shout-outs to our new Rebel heroes introduced in this gripping masterpiece of storytelling and world-building…

Nemik, Cinta, Vel, Taramyn, Gorn, Brasso, Maarva, Clem, B2, Bix, Wilmon, the Time Grappler, Ferrix, the Dhani, Anto Kreegyr and his 30 men, the many divergent Rebel cells mentioned in Saw Gerrara’s ‘clarity of purpose’ speech, Thela, the Ghorm, Kino & the Narkina 5 crew, Freedi & Dewi, Niya, Kellen, Erskin (LA-form), the Force Healer, and of course… Lonni, Kleya, and Luthen.
 

^ Not forgetting everyone has their own Rebellion… and even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward…

^ give these two their own show! 😉

 

About time we had a watering plants / botany-based Star Wars series, as well…

^ spoilers for S02E12…

and later Cassian watering his many plants in his home shortly before he leaves for Kafrene - probably thinking about Maarva and Bix…

 

 


 
 

Spoiler for Cassian’s gun in Andor and Rogue One…

 
 



 
 

Re-watching Rogue One - after viewing Andor

 

 

 

Watching Rogue One is so DIFFERENT after Andor…

www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bulroJdS8w - a 14 minute video from the Bombastic youtube channel.
 

^ Plus, this follow-up 10 minute video from Bombastic - ‘Wow, this hits different now…’ - when watching Star Wars (1977).

 

I Forgot That I Loved Star Wars | Why Andor Matters - 6 minute video from the ALLaBorde Productions youtube channel.

Andor and Rogue One: The Secret to Prequels That Elevate The Original - 7 minute video from The Writer’s Armoury

How Andor Changed Rogue One Forever - 10 minute video from Star Wars Explained; with full Rogue One watchalong video.

How Andor Makes Rogue One EVEN BETTER… - a 12 minute video from the Film Obsessed youtube channel.

Andor completes a flawless trilogy - a 12 minute video from the The Force Fandom youtube channel.

Does Andor IMPROVE Rogue One?!? | Star Wars Re-Reaction! - a 1 hour video from the Nerdy Nightly youtube channel.

We Watched ROGUE ONE After Andor Season 2 & It Hit SO DIFFERENT!! MOVIE REACTION!! - 2h 30m video from Reel Rejects.

‘Rogue One’ Revisited Through the Lens of ‘Andor’ | House of R - 3h 25m video from The Ringer-Verse.

 
 

Other Rogue One content that felt / hit different (or were more impactful) to me after watching Andor…
 

Cassian even hearing the name ‘Erso’ in Rogue One; that reaction… wow!

The Rings of Kafrene scene where Cassian shoots his asset, Tivik. I love the way Andor re-contextualises that. Also, the scene in Andor S2E07 where the Force Healer fixes Andor’s shoulder… that Cassian likely wouldn’t have been able to “climb”™ out of the corner he was in with Tivik in Rogue One without that (Tivik, with his broken arm certainly couldn’t)… all those small touches leading to and affecting later developments. Beautifully crafted. As well as mirroring Luthen and Lonni.

Every time Andor pushes back against Jyn in Rogue One feels much different now. He wasn’t being a cynic, sceptic or dismissive… he was desperate for proof the Rebel Council would actually accept… (it is now much more layered)… to give meaning and validation to Luthen’s sacrifice and Kleya’s efforts; “I’m not the one you’ve got to convince”… to persuade the Rebel Council sceptics we’ve already encountered in Andor.

When Cassian on Jedha says: “this town is ready to blow”… he’s seen Ferrix, Ghorman and likely other places erupt into that powder keg of violence… and now has that same all-too familiar feeling for Jedha.
 

Cassian also ignoring a number of General Draven’s orders in Andor… now resonates well into Rogue One!
 

^ More, though spoilers for Andor S02E10-12…

Tarkin admonishing Krennic for recent security leaks… the’re now not just talking about Bodhi Rook… it is Luthen as well. Lonni, too. Mothma’s escape from the the actual Imperial Senate. Gorst being assassinated and his work lost as well. The bungled Imperial raid at Luthen’s shop… Luthen being killed whilst being in Imperial custody. Partagaz’s self-resignation (someone he was on first-name terms with, seemingly respected, and possibly considered a friend); Krennic was having a fairly bad and disruptive week - right to lead up of Rogue One. Then Tarkin taking the Death Star project from Krennic seems a much less ‘power grab’ move now, too.

 

As well as content like this…

 

and later this…

(where a number of Rebel soldiers, spies, saboteurs, assassins… volunteer to go with Jyn, Bodhi, Baze, and Chirrut on Jyn’s mission to capture the Death Star plans on Scarif)

 

^ and then Cassian & Jyn in imperial uniform, along with K2, walking straight into the Imperial facility on Scarif - a nice touch.

 

The Rebel Fleet deciding to go join the fight at Scarif… after two seasons of Andor showing us all the divisions, the infighting, the secrecy and risks behind this move… this moment feels much more earned. Much of what we saw led to this…

 

Losing K2, Melshi, the Rebel soldiers based at Yavin who volunteered… then Blue Squadron, and the Rebel reinforcements…

The whole last third of Rogue One - well, yeah… that now also hits much harder. 😢

 

The mirroring of the “Who are you?!” scenes…

 

Plus those iconic last moments in Rogue One (before the Vader & Tantive IV scenes)

“Your father would have been proud of you, Jyn.”

That certainly carries a lot more weight and meaning after Andor - on many levels.

 

 

Although, Andor - as a series - works just as well on its own, too…
 

“More than anything, I wanted to end on hope.

I really want to be hopeful at the end of it. It is not just a way of creating another character for Disney and Lucasfilm.

It’s really much more about finishing on an up note and finishing with something that I think all the people who made the show really want to express, which is that in the end, we really do want to be hopeful.”

^ Tony Gilroy on the final shot in Andor (from this EW article) - and a 10 minute ScreenRant video - both contain massive spoilers.

Spoiler for the very last shot of Andor (S2xE12)

 
 

And for the Star Wars Saga itself - from a certain point of view…

As poorly as it was told… The Republic and the Jedi fell because one man couldn’t let go of the woman he loved.

We now know that the Rebellion will ultimately win because one woman is able to let go of the man she loves.

 
 

“You don’t have to know anything about Star Wars to watch our show at all. The show is designed to that purpose.” - Tony Gilroy.

^ although with the 2 seasons of Andor & Rogue One, we finally now have a fitting and worthy ‘Prequel Trilogy’ for the Original Trilogy.

<em><strong>ANDOR</strong></em> - Disney+ Series - A General Discussion Thread
Time

Everyone is on form in Andor - through both seasons of the show… though I have to give some extra props to Elizabeth Dulau for her performance as Kleya Marki in this. Those last three episodes were something else.
 

Spoiler for S2xE10…

Also all credit and kudos to April V Woods - who played ‘young Kleya’ in the flashback scenes; she absolutely nailed it - completely believed she was the young version of Kleya. On those scenes… also props to everyone involved in de-aging Stellan Skarsgård - it was really some a high quality accomplishment.

 
And she gives us that Mona Lisa moment at the end” - Tony Gilroy…

 

'Kleya actress Elizabeth Dulau posts a message to the ANDOR fans:-

“I can’t reply to everyone but I’m seeing all your lovely messages and honestly thank you so much, it means the world ❤️ I am immensely proud of our beautiful show Andor and I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed it.”’

^ from https://x.com/sw_holocron/status/1922746135900279115

 
 

Tony Gilroy on Kleya…

“She’s actually been in charge of the thing from day one, from the moment they met. Kleya’s been in charge of everything. She really has been the boss. He’s afraid of her all the way through. If you go back and look at the whole show, she really is the navigator all the way through, from the time they met. And that’s a really cool thing to play with.”

and…

“The moment where she’s on Yavin at the end… and she’s seen Vel, during the final montage, [Elizabeth Dulau] gave just the little slightest Mona Lisa, kind of bit of pleasure that she realizes what her contribution has been. She sees what they’ve built. As much as she’s been against Yavin and against the establishment and felt like an outsider. There’s just this, oh my God, it’s shaded so beautifully! You just almost see this, just the beginning of a little bit of satisfaction with what they’ve done.”

 
^ from Andor’s Tony Gilroy on how Kleya was actually in charge - at Nerdist.

 
 


 
 

Also all the kudos and props to Andor casting director Nina Gold, Tony Gilroy and the Andor writers, as well as the actors themselves who played some menacing and memorable Imperials / protagonists / related characters throughout this series…

Obviously the likes of Dedra Meero, Syril Karn, Eedy Karn, Lio Partagaz, and Lonni (you beautiful Rebel, you!)

…yet also Mosk, Chief Hyne, Kravas & Verlo - the 2 Morlana brothel cops, Blevin, Lagreat, Heert, Jayhold Beehaz, Pettiger, the Imperial radio operator in ‘The Eye’, Skeen, Timm, Nurchi, Corv, Gorst, Yularen, Kloris, the delightful Narkina 5 Intake Warden, Narkina 5’s ‘Voice Of God’, the arrogant Imperial Captain of the Cantwell Class Arrestor Cruiser (vs Luthen and his modified Fondor Haulcraft), Pluti, Captain Kado on Ghorm, Sergeant Gharial and the Imperial tactical team in 2x12… the list goes on…

 
 


 
 

 
Andor creator Tony Gilroy praises actor Anton Lesser - aka Lio Partagaz (via Variety)

“Anton Lesser, I mean, that actor is one of the many blessings of making this show… if you go back and just did a supercut of his scenes, you see not only how great he is, and not only how funny he is, but that dude is carrying so much expositional weight so effortlessly for the writers on this show. If you’ve got to get some story across, Anton will deliver it for you, man.”

Joining up here and then creating a new thread along the lines ‘Give me the link to X’, ‘Where is project Y’, or going straight into a project thread and posting ‘How do I get these?’ or ‘Link, please?’ doesn’t really fly on here - and will likely be ignored or deleted.

The OriginalTrilogy•com is a community where a ‘read first - post after’ mantra benefits everyone here - especially for the ‘Fan Project’ sections. We appreciate some may be excited to see the projects featured on this site - information on how to acquire them is readily available - yet patience is also required. If you bring impatience, entitlement, aggressive or vitriolic attitudes, personal attacks, or toxicity… then expect some choice words in return - and also expect your stay on here to be a short one.

Welcome to the OriginalTrilogy•com - you’ve taken your first steps… 👍

 
Even reading through this thread… it is clearly stated there have been new PM features introduced recently - to help combat spam (but other reasons also) - so it stands to reason why new members cannot send, receive or open PMs for their first 7 days here… and that there are still a few hiccups to smooth out with the new PM features.

A little patience and all that, eh?

Or… ignore the spirit of the community here, the rules and guidelines which has seen this place survive and thrive for some 20+ years, plus how this place works (and doesn’t)… and then try to later claim it isn’t about being impatient… or being able to get those download links to your ‘link request’ posts… it is really about the “fundamental functionality of the site”.

Good luck with that approach - I wish you well with it. 👍

The Teachings of Yoda: A Star Wars Analysis

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW1tguJxKIQ - a 7 minute video from the Original Trilogy Talk youtube channel.
 

The blurb: ‘An in depth analysis of Yoda’s teachings in the original Star Wars trilogy. We consider Yoda to be a wise spiritual master and mentor to Luke Skywalker by default, but what is he really saying in his teachings? Yoda teaches both through his speech and his actions, and offers lessons that transcend the story of Star Wars. Let’s unpack the wisdom that Yoda offers and see if there are any real world takeaways we can draw from them!’

Does it mean 7 days to the exact minute? Lol. I know that sounds weird but, this is my 7th day and was hoping to answer a PM.

 
Baffling that so many seem to ignore this…

Jay said:

You also might consider signing up just to PM project owners and ask for links isn’t in the spirit of the community.

 
and that…

So few have chosen to take that time to look around and see how this community forum functions, our site rules & fan project rules, read through any of the pinned ‘Index & Help’ & ‘How Do I Do This?’ threads, as well as any of the fan project threads that may be interest you - and actually join in the conversations on here.

Leaving some feedback or reviews for projects you have previously seen. Or join in the discussions about the Original Trilogy - or the wider Galaxy Far Far Away. Or participate in the discourse here on film, tv, music, art, books & comics, gaming, tech, history, sports… or life in general etc. Read up on how some of the many fan projects on here are made / evolve / come together - or check out the talented artists’ cover artwork, and budding authors’ stories, script-writing, and re-writes.

Simply becoming an active and participating member of the community on here means a significantly better chance of others helping you out in acquiring any fan projects you may be looking for…

These may be of some use below… please note that cluttering up the project threads with ‘link request’ posts is not only poor form - but is also against the rules & guidelines here - the reasons for which can be found below…

 

In general, simply sending a PM is the default way of asking for fan projects on here (unless indicated / instructed otherwise in the project thread)

Spoilers for Andor: Season 2 Episode 7…
 

Andor Introduced The Force, And It Was Stunning

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZboP5qGshvc - a 5 minute video from the Spaceman youtube channel.
 

The blurb: ‘I have many thoughts about how the Force is often portrayed in modern Star Wars, but in Andor it genuinely surprised me in the best way possible. I had no idea this version of the Force could still exist in this Universe and I’m so glad I got to see it. I hope you enjoy this quick essay!’
 

Beautifully done - both the video linked above - and also the use of The Force in Andor. I never thought we’d get such a return to a more mystical OT interpretation and depiction of The Force in Star Wars again. The spirituality aspect of it - so subtle and yet also evoking… sometimes less really is more.

 
 

Personally, Luke in TLJ apart, these two on-screen characters made the Force more interesting and mystical than any depiction of the Jedi or Sith have since the Original Trilogy:-
