Would be honestly "cool" to just say "F it" and remake the original, but include things and characters that just plain didn't exist in continuity before. Maybe adapt some of the Marvel Comics that have been expanding the story in between the movies because they have been pretty cool. Release "A New Hope" remake/update, then Disney+ series about the time in-between movies, then "Empire Strikes Back" remake/update... etc
Then after Return of the Jedi, just throw out the new trilogy and remake that too. |

They literally did retcon this one old dude with a beard in Return of the Jedi into being Captain Rex:

lol why didn’t Vader just walk around the fire? Or better yet, he just forced pushed to blow out the fire like 10 seconds earlier, but now he’s like “welp nothing to be done about this fire, I guess we’ll just let Obi Wan escape” After the first episode I had my hopes up that it would at least be decent, but nope this thing is an absolute turd sandwich.

He’s afraid of fire… and he doesn’t like sand…

I decided to watch this Obi Wan show and it’s alright to be honest.
I tried to like Star Wars but never could get into it, I do like Darth Vader though and there’s plenty of him so far. I enjoyed his show of force in the last episode. Was nice to get a look at his skills. |

There should be a Palpatine show done in the style of Saved By The Bell, they could name it “Palpa-Teen” and we could see how his adolescent acne outbreaks drove him to the dark side.
They could do a similar show about the origins of R2D2 and call it “Bot Meets World”. I’m here if you’re hiring Disney. |

Darth Maul should also have his own show.
That’s not a joke though. |

I've watched it probably 20 times at this point.
Easily the best thing robot chicken has ever done. Followed closely by Palpatine on the escalator. |

Without looking at the credits for that episode..... did Seth McFarlane do some voices?
I can only hear the Emperor as Quagmire..... and that kinda makes it funnier for me. |

The bit with the air conditioner made me laugh pretty hard.
If that isn’t Seth MacFarlane then it’s a stupendous impression. |

I think my enjoyment of the dark side has softened me to Star Wars as a franchise…
Obi Wan is a bit of a wank when it’s Ewan instead of Alec but that show is good stuff. Vader-wise it gives me everything I need. I just wish Palpatine was in it. I also like The Mandalorian. That’s just classic Western stuff. #FreeGinaCarano |

She acts like a fucking spastic though.
Bad child actor. Typical of Star Wars. I bet because she’s a little girl in 2022 her life isn’t ruined like Jake Loyd. They will protect her from normality. Lots of safe spaces and fanny pads. |

she has good inflection. most child actors, because theyre children and dont have a grasp on words let alone emphasis, really struggle with iit. but she's pretty good in that regard. dunno if its her acting coach or the director but she works. but anything physical becomes cartoonish. they should have shot around the issue no clue how they looked at the dailies and decided to ship it as is.

I agree with Destor on Leia's running. It was...atrocious.
Also--I was being very forgiving with my post about Leia's message. I'm hoping Obi whips out the old memory wiper from MIB at the end to make everything right. I'm still a bit underwhelmed by the show, continuity aside. Last episode was a step in the right direction but this should've just been a movie or something. |

One of the good things in The Last Jedi was seeing Canto Bight and the kind of "upper class" people of the galaxy.... I'd be interested in seeing more of the "upper class" since the low class scum/scoundrels/rebels/bounty hunters has been done....
A Lando series starring Donald Glover would be cool for that maybe... he's a scoundrel for sure, but he constantly gets in with the upper class (if only to swindle them) |

finale really justifies the shows existence. weird to have the A plot resolved before the B plot when the A plot is the one the audience clearly is more invested in but its still good; they don't drag their feet on the B plot so its not a major issue. def deflates the momentum though.

Why not do Lando Versus Mando because everybody loves rhyming names
Also why is the Mandalorian known as Mando anyway? It should be Manda… but I guess that’s too much like Amanda. |

Tbh I just felt like it was a good episode of Bad Batch, which isn’t good enough imo.

Last two episodes were good.
Alrhough, I'm not really sure why he leaves Vader alive, but okay. Guess leia annoyed him enough were hes hoping vader goes out and murders more children. |

Yeah. And seeing Anakin's face filled him with conflicting emotions since he essentially raised him. It plays in nicely to how he was insistent that Luke needed to take him out since he himself failed to do it and it twice when he easily could've and it led to more suffering across the galaxy.

Imagine getting a man’s son to kill him because you find it too harrowing yourself lol.
That’s some funny stuff. Millions will die because Jedi’s are terrible at finishing what they started. It was pretty cool though. I mean that wee speech at the end of the duel was Grade A Vader shit. I watched it a few times because he looked more evil than ever before. Good times. |
