I think I saw one of the Ewok movies once when I was a kid but I don’t really remember much about it aside from two kids crash landing on the planet and somebody getting stuck inside a lake at one point. How many of those movies did they make?

I haven't been keeping up with the show that much but out of curiosity did they ever give the baby Yoda a proper name or is it still just "The Child"?

Also even the movie is technically released out of timeline order (I think there’s a few pre-Ahsoka episodes here and there in the series itself).

thrawn527 posted:There's no reason to believe they can't have just changed a Y chromosome to an X chromosome to make Omega a female clone. When you look at the process of making a clone, that part seems like it would be the easy part, if anything. True. I forget, is this the first time we’ve seen a female clone? Also is this series by the same creative team behind Clone Wars and Rebels? Don’t remember if they had anything to do with Resistance though.

Everyone posted:Perhaps, but figure Disney was always going to end up a little allergic to the Sequel Trilogy, so it might've gotten cancelled anyway but we wouldn't have had The Mandolorian, The Clone Wars or The Bad Batch. Fair point, but I just feel like he probably could have made something decent out of it like he did for the Prequels with The Clone Wars. Overall I agree it's likely better this way though.

Back to the shows for a moment, the main problem with Resistance was the same problem with the whole Sequel Trilogy: There was no plan. With TCW and Rebels, we at least knew where the story was eventually gonna end up, with ROTS and ANH, respectively. JJ Abrams and the others involved with the sequels kept things quiet because they didn't want leaks getting out, which hurt Resistance because they couldn't plan ahead and try to avoid clashing with what was happening in the movies. I forget, did that show even get something resembling an ending or was it just canceled prematurely during the second season?

Sekhmnet posted:The novels for the star wars movies aren't exactly *good* but they do tend to work from the movie scripts before the movies get edited; so they provide a lot of extra exposition. Reading the novelizations for the prequals, for example, made me like them more because it dived just a little deeper into the story. Or maybe I'm bad at watching movies and don't pick up on subtext very well; who knows. It’s been said before but Solo is a waste of a really good cast in my opinion (though the movie is watchable enough I suppose) I’ve never actually read any of the Star Wars novelizations but I’ve heard good things about the ROTS one at least, any others any of you would recommend?

Servetus posted:I did read the Solo novelization. Having Qira as a pov character, and thus having access to her thoughts makes it a different story, since in the movie there's an open question of how much genuine feeling vs manipulation is involved in her relationship with Han. Out of curiosity, what’s the book’s answer to that question then?

Servetus posted:Her thoughts remain fairly consistent between the Correlia and after the time skip, which surprised me. When I watched the movie I was drawing a line between before and after, thinking that her experiences had hardened her and her wistfulness was as much for her own innocence as for Han. In the book she is making the same kinds of calculations before and after, and has similar feelings for Han before and after the time skip. Do her and Han ever cross paths again in any EU material? I know she pops up in some of the comics at least. For that matter, has there been any post-ROS EU stuff yet? Larryb fucked around with this message at 01:32 on May 10, 2021 |

Yeah, there’s nothing inherently wrong with Solo per se (aside from it maybe whitewashing Han a bit) but there’s nothing particular noteworthy about it either and it wasn’t really a story that needed to be told. It had a great cast though and I’d personally like to see at least a few of them come back one day

There’s also novels about him in the new canon, including an on-going trilogy about his time in Chiss space during the same time as the Clone Wars. Gotcha, nevermind then. So yeah, it could be neat to see him pop up in this series eventually in that case
