The Galactic Senate

I finally got around to finishing this series today. Very, very interesting. I'm definitely looking forward to whatever they do next.

I just hope they don't ruin it by rushing it. I really want the stand alone films to be successful as that could open up a lot more stories in the long run.

Yeah fair points there, especially about Kenobi and Yoda both bouncing back (so to speak) despite what they had been through. I do feel like the ST could have been handled much better and more coherently from the start. I guess we've still got one more movie to see where it all goes.

I don't think anyone's posted a link to this article, but I thought it was an interesting take on some of the events in TLJ: http://bigshinyrobot.com/60239/luke-skywalkers-arc-star-wars-last-jedi/ Not sure it will change anyone's minds about the quality of the storyline, but it might give people som...

I'll post my quick thoughts below. I wasn't overly looking forward to this as I felt TFA didn't live up to expectations. I enjoyed TLJ a lot more than VII - but I've always said I'll wait to judge the ST until all the movies are released. I quite liked it; but once again there seemed to be a lot of ...

Might need to mention about spoilers for TLJ in the title at this stage. However, I was thinking the exact same thing. How did we get from 30 years of rebuilding to the last Rebels being wooshed away on transports? Were the planets destroyed last movie that important to the Republic that they tore o...

Just saw it here in Aus. I'm certainly keen to hear people's thoughts.

I've read it. And I didn't mind it (but I'm also easily pleased). That said, my main takeaway from the novel was that Tarkin would feel he was hand picked by the Emperor to carry out his work, possibly lending credence to your thoughts that he wasn't intimidated by him. And he isn't a man who has re...

This is probably the stand alone movie I'd be most looking forward to. However, I think they have the perfect chance to use Ewan. So if they do an "origins" story, I'd still want to see one set between 3 and 4.

I bought the saga a couple of years back on blu ray, finally thinking it was safe to own the whole set. A few weeks later they announced the ST... lol. Not sure I noticed the difference in the edits, but I'll keep an eye out more closely for my next watch.

Now that's a fascinating theory I hadn't heard! I'd certainly get on board for that. And yes, he might be reasonably old by this point, but there's plenty of in-universe reasons why he could still be quite fit for his age. As for how Rebels ends... I don't think the ending can be too dark, which in ...

I thoroughly enjoyed the finale; but in particular, the scene between Obi Wan and Maul was very interesting. It's all tied in rather nicely so far.
