I liked that the episode 3 clone wheel tank showed up in R1, repurposed into an imperial prisoner transport. made me say "neat"

The decision to slam huge Star Wars Explained videos at the top of each article is bizarre. Sometimes they're not even related to the topic on the page.

It's something that's happened on every wikia, so I can only imagine it's some weird decision by the Wikia admins to drive up views

Midichlorians are no big deal to me but I feel like they matter a lot to Lucas and I'm not entirely sure why when they feel more like something you'd put in the "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About the Force" tie-in reference book for turbo-nerds than something you'd devote a scene to in the movie. There's that bit towards the end of TPM where Qui-Gon stops the plot to explain what they are and how they work to Anakin, and I've heard about the author of that one behind the scenes "making of" book receiving notes from Lucasfilm instructing him to make clear that Lucas came up with midichlorians in 1975 and just never put them in the original movies.

I assume there must have been some plan to include them in Ep. II and III but that plan changed. I know that in the EU, the backstory that was eventually revealed was that Darth Plagueis wanted to manipulate midichlorians to obtain immortality (I can't remember if midichlorians were specifically mentioned in that scene in ROTS but they very well could have been) and Anakin was conceived/created by the Force to destroy the Sith after they tried to use midichlorians to create life or something like that, which I believe came from Lucas's notes and ideas. Maybe that was meant to be in it.

Yes, in RoTS Palpatine tells Anakin that Plagueis could "manipulate the midichlorians to create life."

The idea that the prequels show the Jedi as semi-bad guys is fan cannon retcon to justify liking a lovely batch of movies. The Jedi are clearly supposed to be righteous protectors of justice in the prequels, it's just that the movies are so incompetent that it come through clearly.

They became arrogant and were blinded to the darkness creeping in around them. Luke literally says this in TLJ

I fall asleep during all star wars opening crawls. Except RoTS, because that one starts with an exclamation.

I thought in hyperspace they literally weren't in normal space anymore.

It's always been the case that large masses in the real space cause a noticeable effect in hyperspace that can cause a ship to crash. The Empire has special gravity generating ships to pull ships out of hyperspace

Here are some lines I expect Han to say in Solo:

"That's the last time I help anyone. It's you and me from here on out, Chewie ol pal"
"Lando I don't trust ya but I like ya"
"We'll fudge that" (this is after he does the Kessel Run in 12.2 parsecs)
"I love this ship and I'm going to keep it in mint condition forever"
"These dice are pretty important to me"
"You guys must have a death wish or you're none too bright" (this is when he meets Diego Luna and K2)
"Where's the toilet on this thing"

You don't expect him to say I got a bad feeling about this?

It's all moot anyway because in a month Solo is probably gonna show that it is, in fact, some dumb bullshit like the wormhole thing and Han was being 100% truthful

He does walk in with money, just the wrong kind. And he does try to mind control Watto into thinking they’re the right kind of money, it just didn’t work. He didn’t hesitate to use it, though.

Good news. Jon Favreau actually consulted Lucas on stuff when making The Mandalorian.

I hope Lucas just told him a bunch of nonsense that Favreau thought was legit.

The amazing adventures of Anakin's lightsaber: was used extensively in a false war, murdered some children, sat in an old guy's box for 20 years, cut open a space yak, fell down a hole shortly after. Then it ended up sitting in another box for 30 years and became a holy object for some reason.
