I’m still baffled that they just casually undid the Mando and Grogu’s personal S2 growth in a single episode in BOBF.

Gandalf just casually mentions it in The Return of the King:

At 1:22, when the Inquisitor is facing someone in an alley, is that Han Solo’s blaster?

I’ll go old school OG, Darth Vader.

I think the best case scenario is a press release that says, “We consider those stories and characters to now be part of the Legends universe and look forward to adding new stories in their place.”

I love how everyone forgets that Jango fired off his missile in Episode II during his fight with Obi-wan.

I would say this is probably the correct take, and especially so when they decided to bring Abrams back. Not having even the slightest outline here was really sloppy, and it showed.

I’d go the other way. I think The Dark Knight was great, but it ended up shooting its bolt (so to speak) too early. The film should have ended, imo, with the Joker trumphantly crowing about how he won, as Harvey Dent finally BECOMES Two Face. Who is then the main baddie for the third movie.

There wasn’t really anything for fans to get mad at, since the final movie superseded all the other movies that came before.

If Solo had been an eight-part miniseries, fans would’ve loved it.

It’s why the OT worked out as well as they did. You had Kershner and Marquand to reel Geroge in a bit, but at the end of the day it was still George’s universe and he made the final decisions when it came to the creative direction.

After 20 years, we can move that from theory to universal truth.

Delia, you are a flake. You have always been a flake. If you insist on frightening people, do it with your sculpture.

Ah, yes. I fondly remember Darth Millennial’s many battles with Jedi Master Boomer

I think the prequel movies were fine in terms of events and the story, but they never should have let Lucas direct them, and the dialogue was painful at times. Other than that, I actually appreciated the political intrigue and machinations in the prequel trilogy. Jar Jar’s character is another story, the premise of…

Seriously, how was this not included at all?

Yeah I don’t see how making the ending three 2-3 hours movies instead of a 7 hour season was going to make it any better, as the main issue didn’t appear to be budget but time. The show needed another season with separating out the Long Night arc from the Mad Queen arc. All indications was that HBO would’ve gladly…

I wouldn’t be surprised if Palpatine simply wanted an heir and picked a woman he thought would be genetically favorable (maybe one of the Force-sensitives he had been kidnapping since the Clone Wars) and had her artificially inseminated.

Recycling this from another discussion, but I think it applies here.

All of the new Star Wars films have come off as weird fan fiction to me anyway (including RO and Solo). I think I’m just gonna pretend they never happened...
