Re: Live-action: "Star Wars: The Acolyte"
What did people think about this? I might be in the minority based on reviews and online comments, but I really enjoyed it. Different characters, great fight scenes, new locations. I thought it was great. But I am also very, very annoyed that they left in so many hooks for a second season and have n...

Re: Live-action: "Star Wars: Ahsoka"
Who has watched it and what did you think?
There's a lot of presumed knowledge if you haven't watched Rebels and a few other bits and pieces, but I really enjoyed it.
It was nice to see a couple of cameo appearances as well.

Re: Live-action: "Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi" *Spoilers allowed*
Finished the final episode last night. I really, really enjoyed it. Thought it tied everything together nicely, bridging into ANH quite well. I don't think I have too many lingering questions or concerns about plot holes; although Reva leaving with one of the galaxies closet held secrets is perhaps ...

Re: Live-action: "Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi"
Third episode has dropped. Do we still have spoiler tags on the forums? As I see this thread isn't spoiler listed, but there's definitely spoilers below: I'm definitely enjoying it so far. However, I have concerns about how the meaning behind OT dialogue may be changed. Leia's "only hope" ...

Well, for those who have seen it all now, what did you think?
I started it last week and finished it today. I got some minor spoilers online because I delayed, but nothing important.

Re: Live-action: "The Mandalorian" (2019)
Yeah I agree.
And there's not too many shows I watch one episode a week of now; they're either released a full season at a time, or I'll wait until the full season is ready to go (especially with streaming services).

Re: Live-action: "The Mandalorian" (2019)
Haha, excellent point about the title. So because I was too tight to subscribe to Disney+ until the episodes were released, I had three appearances spoiled for me via social media. That's my own fault, but I still thoroughly enjoyed them. As previously commented, this is what I expected the ST to ac...

NOVELS: From a Certain Point of View
I was wondering if anyone has read either of the From a Certain Point of View novels? I see one is based around ANH and the other around TESB. I presume more will one day appear. Any thoughts on if they are worth the read?

Re: Animated: "Star Wars: Visions"
This idea certainly intrigues me, if what I've read is correct. Is this a similar concept the Marvel "What Ifs"? If so we could even see some old Legends stories explored a little bit.

Re: "The Mandalorian" Live-Action Series (2019)
As mentioned in The Clone Wars, I finished a two week free trial of Disney+ and crammed in both TCW and The Mandalorian. This was a great live action show. I'd been waiting months to finally watch it and was not disappointed. I only hope they can keep this kind of level into the future.

Great use of Maul. Great overlap with Order 66. I'm very glad they opted to add one final season. It's...

If you’ve watched Rebels you know Grand Admiral Thrawn is Cannon AND he’s more likely alive than Palpatine should be. My question is simple, would you rather have Palpatine as the puppet-master of the ST or Thrawn? I personally think using Thrawn would be a much better choice than Palpatine. It pre...

Re: Star Wars Episode IX (SPOILERS ALLOWED)
With the supposed leaks, the emptiness of a movie that was The Last Jedi is really tangible. If the leaks are accurate, it introduces a whole bunch of stuff that should've been at least hinted at earlier and not come out of the blue in the last movie. This is what happens when there's no plan and t...

Re: Untitled Obi-Wan Kenobi
Yes, those two things also concern me. There is so, so, so much potential here (like it or loathe it, there's a reason the EU was so large before the Disney take over, with books, games, comics, etc.) I just want to see that potential harnessed.

Re: Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (SPOILERS ALLOWED)
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.

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
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...
