I'm glad I dipped in here to see the dumb Darth Maul poo poo so now I can at least prepare myself. Had I gone in blind I probably would have done the Jerry Seinfeld I'm done dot gif thing. I even enjoyed Maul on Clone Wars and Rebels, but them putting the same characters in all these different places around the same time is just going to end up a mess. I don't envy the poor schlub that has to keep track of all this and struggle to keep it straight. This is already turning into the mess the old eu had with the 12 different people that all stole the deathstar plans.

I’m honestly loving shocked that they still haven’t shoved Boba Fett into anything besides the new comics.

Witwer is fine in the cartoons, but I wish they’d gone with Serafinowicz. His voice is soooo much better.

I remember way back in 05 when ROTS spoilers started leaking and people on the official Star Wars forums were sooooo pissed when they found out there were more Wookiee tarzan yells. Funny stuff.

We’re 3 movies into Disney Star Wars and we’ve got one measly lightsaber duel.

I'm fine with it. It'll make the duels more meaningful when they do happen. Otherwise you end up with poo poo like the Anakin vs Dooku duel from Attack of the Clones which always felt like it was only there because of the thought "It's Star Wars, there has to be a lightsaber fight at the end." That duel is such a wet fart letdown after everything in the Battle of Geonosis right before it.

The Force Awakens is still a bad clunky not star warsy title.

I was going to say, "But John Boyega looks nothing like Billy Dee Williams." But then I remembered that Adam Driver looks nothing like Harrison Ford or Carrie Fisher.

I’d argue Driver has a similar nose to Ford.

Yes, TLJ had a drop from TFA, but it was about 300 million, not 700. You wanna be grumpy about the movie? Sure that's fine, no one has to like any film, but come on now.

TLJ had pretty much the same amount of dropoff as every other part II in each set of Star Wars trilogies. The idea that it was “a failure that everyone hated” is loving ridiculous.

It's just Will of the Force. Will of the Force is a new character. He invented the force.

It's not really a gently caress you Rian though it works in character. It's more of a gently caress you Snoke I'm keeping my helmet.

I called it back when Rebels was wrapping up btw. I knew they were gonna bring Palps back as soon as they introduced the time travel shenanigans. That blue swirl of fire stuff that flies out of that shaft is actually him going through a time portal.

Rey could choose the name skywalker since she doesn’t have a last name.

I hope it's given to her by an Imperial desk jockey.

RISE OF THE SKYWALKERS plural would be a better title, "Skywalkers" being upgraded from a family name to a group title.

Both of the JJ titles would be much better with a little shuffling. Awakening of the Force would have been a better title as well imo.

I didn't care for Solo at all, but would be down for a sequel since all the prequel poo poo is out of the way and we can just watch Han and Chewie do Han and Chewie stuff. No wasted time showing here's how Han got his name, here's how he met Chewie, here's how Chewie got his name, here's how he got the Falcon etc.

a rogue squadron series would require a lot of expensive cgi, battles and whatnot

a show like the mandalorian was undoubtedly very cheap to make

Battlestar is almost 20 years old at this point and had a bunch of starfighter stuff that still looks decent on probably a much lower budget than something like Mando. The tech has only gotten better since then and they have ilm at their disposal. There's no reason it couldn't work.

Star Wars is good when it gets weird with it and that is a good episode.
