Interesting how a fair number of people see Vader being Luke’s father as, perhaps, not a great idea. Far fewer people thought this in the last century I would bet.
Well look what it led to:

And that’s not even factoring in the ST…
I dont like the Emperor is a Force user i like Force users being rare also Palpatine do so little in the OT that make him a Non Force user would affect nothing to his character in the OT yes he tortures Luke in the last minutes of the final movie of the trilogy but Palpatine was mostly a Cameo and he is more important for the Prequels and Sequels movies than the OT
Plus is ties the war conflict and the force conflict too closely together. Now all the heroes have to do to solve all their problems is kill this one person. Makes the universe too small when you have a singular puppet master pulling ALL the strings like that.
Nice to see other people finally becoming sw77 purists like me!
That said, I was watching ESB just yesterday for the first time in awhile and I can at least appreciate how well it’s made from a technical standpoint.
As others here have said, it works very well on its own, but led to serious issues in the long run with the force, saber fights, familial themes, etc.
TLJ is the only thing I love about the ST, and it’s precisely the one that ignored the fans.
This is pretty much the boat I’m in as well, though I can appreciate how well-made TFA is from a technical standpoint, and I can kinda enjoy TRoS if I pretend the other two don’t exist.
But yeah, TLJ is the only one of the three that has true storytelling integrity.
Congrats!
Thanks!
I just published a new book:

Apologies in advance if self-promo is not welcome here (won’t do it again if so), but I consider it good news for myself, at least.
Apparently Lucasfilm has ordered trademarks for the following titles under categories 9 and 41 (which are usually used for movies):
The Great Circle
The Galactic Circle
Circle of Resistance
We should’ve gotten Rian’s trilogy. That man had vision and, regardless of what people think, proved he could deliver a Star Wars movie on time and under immense pressure.

It’s dead, Jim…
Sounds great! The fourth episode of the series was all filler, in hindsight, so glad to hear it’s been cut.
Sounds like my kinda ideal edit of this miniseries! Hope it all goes well 😃
I wonder if George Lucas saw this and if he likes it.
As much as I loved the finale, now that I’ve had the time to look back on the whole series with hindsight, I agree with many out there that this should’ve been a movie instead. That said, I did like how each episode “emulated” a different saga film from Episode I-VI, and I’m pretty sure the finale also had a few sequel trilogy references sprinkled in for good measure too, which was cool. Not sure if any of that has been discussed here yet!
I just watched the Kenobi finale… I’ve been a Star Wars fan for over 20 years, and I seriously think that may have just been one of the best Star Wars things I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s not perfect, but the good outweighs the bad for me by far. Also I think I forgot to mention this on here before, but I really liked Part V too.
Now one of you needs to edit this all down into a movie and cut out as much of the fifth brother as possible, please…
Finally got around to watching Kenobi episode 4. I thought it was pretty good! Kinda surprised it’s been getting mixed reception.
That sounds right to me!
Cool! We have an exciting year and a half ahead of us then 😃
I thought episode 3 was pretty good. Not perfect, but good! Looking forward to more. This show is a breath of fresh air after Boba Fett.

The Grand Inquisitor “Pumpkinhead” is an imposter. You heard it here first.
Starting to think this as well.
Just finished the first two Kenobi episodes.
Episode 1 review:
Really good! Not perfect, but good.
Episode 2 review:
Welp, rebels isn’t canon anymore lol. But aside from that it was a great episode! I now see why they released these back to back. While part of me still wishes this was in theaters, the pacing of it is starting to make me more and more happy that this is a show instead.
Deborah has had a decent track record before this. Makes me think that the a big chunk of the budget just went to drag these big name actors back into the franchise.
My thoughts exactly.

Kennedy clarified that Taika’s film will be first and that they’re still aiming for Xmas 2023 and that it’ll be the start of “a new saga,” it sounds like.
Some news. Looks like Taika’s film might be post-TRoS after all:

Turns out the grammar rodeo show is really called Skeleton Crew and it’s not actually about Luke’s academy. Instead it’s about four kids and an adult (Jude Law) who come from a remote planet and “get lost in the Star Wars galaxy and have to find their way home.” Sounds to me like they’ve never heard of jedi or whatever.
Also looks like Rogue Squadron is delayed indefinitely (again) of Taika’s movie is coming first now.
Hopefully we get answers to everything at Celebration next week.
