That's... kind of hosed up. I admit that my response to Lucas's answer would probably have been something like "I'm sure they did, eventually. Any thoughts on stuff that might have happened between the end of Return of the Jedi and them becoming corpses?" Likely answer from him: "No."

By the time Lucas did Jedi he was probably pretty much done with these characters.

Honestly, I think I would have been fine with that. I kind of wish that The Force Hits the Snooze Button had opened like 300 or 3000 years after the previous trilogy instead of 30. Have everyone who was in the original and prequels safely dead and gone. Have Tatooine be a jungle planet now. Just do a bunch of new, interesting stuff.

That would have made the story of the Imperial cosplayers better too. Show that this thing grew up after a long period of peace and it feels more like a genuine threat, rather than a bunch of petulant wannabees,

I mean maybe he's actually just playing Gar Saxon, the character that he plays. Or his son or something. Basically whoever the rival for Sabine is going to be.

It’s fun seeing posts like this because this is basically what they just did in Rebels. They had both Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus as opposing Mandalorian leaders.

It works better for spice to be space heroin because it strengthens Han Solo's redemption arc for him to have been talking about doing something worse than being a weed supplier

He has the best plot armor of all - he's adorable and crucial to the plot.

Seriously, Grogu is the new "Groot" of Star Wars. Disney's going to make the little green boi integral to Star Wars until the heat death of the universe because he's effectively immortal.

And even if we all somehow had no way to use decades of Star Wars context to know that “spice” is hard drugs, Solo explicitly shows the slave labor responsible for mining it.

I hope not. Disney marketed the gently caress out of baby Groot from the end of the first Guardians while he ended up having literally no impact on the rest of the films other than becoming the handle for Stormbreaker.

Because in Clone Wars and Rebels they keep shooting probe droids that are speeding away from their secret locations and treating it like it's a success.

I think in those shows the deal is that the probe droids need to return to their drop pods to transmit back to command. It's conceivable that probe droid technology advanced and they just started putting the transmitters right on them.

I kind of want to rewatch Solo because I wasn’t familiar with what happened in Clone Wars or Rebels when I first saw it, and I feel like I’d enjoy it more now that I’m more familiar with that bit of the Star Wars universe.

And I didn’t even hate Solo when I saw it! I ranked it as “all right, better than what the Internet keeps telling me.”

It honestly wasn't bad at all. I think the thing I hate the most about it is that they didn't do the drat sequel they very obviously set it up for.
