It’s Star Wars, people cosplay as Lobot, Gonk droids, and Willrow Hood with an ice cream maker. Of course they’re going to like Boba Fett.
I sincerely don’t understand why he’s so popular with fans as he’s pretty much a nothing character.
I’m not a huge Boba Fett fan either, but I’ve always thought his fans must have liked the mysteriousness of the character and how he was pretty much a blank slate for creating their own adventures in their heads. Star Wars is imagination fuel.
I was hoping there was a release date for the Lego: Skywalker Saga game.
Once things get back to normal, I’d love for them to re-release ALL of the Star Wars movies in the theater again. I remember them doing that for the Marvel movies a few years ago. It was great!
I’d even be up for the krayt dragon episode of The Mandalorian (S2E1) on the big screen. It’s very cinematic. The same goes for the last for episodes of The Clone Wars (Siege of Mandalore).
I still want to see the 3-D versions. The trench run and speeder bikes would be awesome!
There’s no part of Star Wars I wouldn’t show up to the theater for, once things get back to normal.
I’d rather bump an old thread than create a redundant new thread.
I’ve seen Revenge of the Sith and the last episodes of The Clone Wars season 7 edited together (there are a few versions) and it was amazing. They mesh perfectly.
Here is a list I made a while back. Hope it helps.

Here’s a great video of a reporter in 1980 interviewing kids looking at Star Wars toys.
The one kid who says he’s too old for toys and they’re for his little brother is hilarious!
Are Star Wars droids sentient? The Gotra was mentioned in the first episode of The Mandalorian season 2.
The Battle of Scarif is my favorite in Star Wars. When I was in the theater on opening night, the crowd went crazy when Red Leader and Gold Leader appeared. I still remember the reaction every time I watch it, and it really adds to my enjoyment. Great memories!
I’ve always thought it was called a “refresher” but in The Mandalorian, they called it a “vac tube.” Maybe a full sized restroom is a refresher, but the Razor Crest had the equivalent of commercial airplane facilities.
What are the chances these will ever be available again on disc or streaming? Zero?
I met David Prowse in a hotel. Only chatted with him for a minute, and I’d always heard he wasn’t very nice, but he was actually very warm and friendly. He seemed genuinely interested in talking and was in very good mood, despite being in some pain.
OT - Alec Guinness
PT - Ian McDiarmid
ST - Adam Driver
I love Mads Mikkelsen in Rogue One.
Would anyone here be interested in a Star Wars voting thread? Not just another thread where everyone ranks the movies, but one where the placement would have point values. Someone would then add up all the points to make a general consensus of everyone who participated.
It could be just the movies, or could include the animated series and The Mandalorian. Maybe the Ewok movies and Holiday Special too. All of that would have to be decided in advance so everyone is on the same page. Going by the name of this community, pretty sure the Original Trilogy movies would come out on top, but it would be interesting to see how everything else placed after that.
I’ve watched opinions on the prequels improve over time. I’ve already seen opinions of TFA and TLJ improve. I feel confident opinions on TRoS will improve as well. In a few years, there will be balance in the Force. Then people can start hating on what comes next. I’ll just continue to enjoy myself all the way.
I’m fortunate to be among the generation to have grown up with Star Wars from the beginning. I can’t tell you how happy that has made me. I love Star Wars. I can love my originals and still embrace the new with no problem. That wasn’t always true, but it’s a mindset worth working toward in my opinion.
The Muppet Show is up on Disney+ now. I had to go directly to the Star Wars/Mark Hamill episode (season 4 episode 16).
I’ve wondered if they will eventually retell the entire story in animation.
“I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history, true or feigned, with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse applicability with allegory, but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the proposed domination of the author." - Tolkien
Happy birthday to Doug Chiang!
I really love his artwork for The Mandalorian. Christian Alzmann and Ryan Church did great work on it too.
This is a lot of fun! I could easily lose track of time exploring it.
It works well in your usual web browsers - but there’s also an app for those of you into that sort of newfangled tech.
You don’t still have a flip phone, do you?
I think it would be a missed opportunity to not see what happened with the characters from the sequel trilogy. I hope they do it while their young enough to still be in some actions scenes.
