Someday coach Im going to throw for 6 TDs in the Super Bowl.

Sit your ass down Steve.
I feel bad for some prequel actors like Hayden who probably get poo poo on daily for what he was thrust into.

I'd like to hear more about this part.
It's hard not to mentally fill in the gaps when you've seen the entire series a zillion times, but I found there was no less continuity between the two films than between, say, Thunderdome and Fury Road.

Since the Death Star was destroyed, they're building another, and the Emperor is taking an active role. The Rebellion is either winning or has at least forced his hand.

Luke went off and became a powerful Jedi warrior, which is later explained by the appearance of his mysterious moribund master, Yoda. (It reminds me of the opening scene in The Five Deadly Venoms.) Yoda is encouraging Luke to "confront" the Emperor. Luke has sussed out that Darth Vader is his father, not his father's "friend," and of course! That makes total sense!

Yoda's warnings about rushing to face Vader and about embracing the Dark Side refer to the events of Episode I, and foreshadow Luke losing control in his duel with Vader--not to mention his downright genial attitude towards carving his way through Jabba's minions. Yoda encourages his spiritual side, whereas the ghostly Kenobi wants him to be a crusader.

Han got captured by the mob boss he's been running from since the moment he was introduced in the first film, and Jabba turned him into a paperweight. Neat. (And this can be read as a direct consequence of his decision to help the Rebellion instead of taking the money and running.) He and Leia are in love now because of course.

Leia has gone from being a high-class spy to a hardcore guerilla fighter. Jabba enslaving her is like he's taking away what she's earned--like, "you were never more than a pretty face." This is more abrupt for the lack of Episode V.

That's all I got for right now.

Obi-Wan went into hiding for years and was happy to pull out his lazer sword to dismember a guy; he never gave up being a warrior. I hope you're right about the next movie! I don't think it's a given, though, since he could have gone into hiding to distance himself from others, rather than from violence.

The rumor for a while was that at some point after Rey and Luke meet up (in case it's true) The Knights of Ren track them down but then Luke just completely destroys them with like a full telekinesis/lightsaber/disorientation/like total all encompassing force asskicking in every possible way.. I'd be down with that.

all desire - the thirst for oil, war, religious salvation - needs to be understood according to what he calls 'the demonogrammatical decoding of the Earth's body'
Warwick Davis completely burning Harrison Ford was the best part of that panel. Also Lucas's continued criticism of Star Wars fans.
