The great debate... Star Wars. I can feel @Jeffro and plenty of others punching holes through their computers whenever a large Star Wars discussion breaks out... so in response to a few posts that were left in the movie discussion thread, I figured it'd make sense to just move it here and carry on any Star Wars analyzing/debating to this thread.

I urge folks that if they want to talk anything Star Wars to do it here - of course unless it's solely to share your opinion/review on a movie, then the Movie thread works. I'd obviously rather this not be the case but I don't want to clog up the other thread. Let's try to keep this discussion story-driven and not politics-driven but heck, I can't control you animals.
May the Force be with us. inb4 move to politics.

As a fan of Star Wars in this modern streaming era, there's no such thing as "too much" - just "what I'll feel like watching". I say keep pumping out the content for those who will be into it, and it at least offers some stuff I can visit down the road when I'm bored if I pass on it initially.

Mostly just interested in Obi-Wan and Taika's movie, but I'll give the rest of the non-animated stuff a chance.

BTW, we missed a Star Wars obit a few weeks ago, and another popped up today.
David Prowse (Darth Vader) passed on November 28th, 2020.
Jeremy Bulloch (original Boba Fett in Empire and Return of the Jedi) passed today, December 17, 2020.

Teasers like this are as helpful as CGI game reveals that show no game-play for new IPs.

I just thought that teaser was a neat little announcement video. Wasn’t really meant to be an actual trailer or anything.

Yeah like, "Guess what we're making? We know it's a big deal to a lot of you. Get hyped"

The Marvel SW comics featured them (issues 52-55). Not sure if it’s the current run or the one right before the current run.
There was also a Dark Horse comic series that was great:
https://www.amazon.c...
That’s a link for the omnibus, but it’s almost $50 because those books are out of print nowadays and the stories are now “legends” (non-canon).
Otherwise there were those 3 games. I believe the first came out for N64, then Rogue Leader and RS3 came out on Gamecube (and other consoles?).

Thanks, yeah I saw the Omnibus book on Amazon the other day and thought that might be the place to start.

Yah from what I remember, those comics rule.
Important to also note that it was actually Rogue Squadron that attacked the Death Star with Luke in A New Hope, so they naturally have a ton of stories in the canon and non-canon lore. There was a Dark Horse miniseries about Biggs Darklighter (Luke’s pal from ANH) that was really fun.
So some exploring may do ya well as far as Rogue Squadron and its members and all the stories in regards to them go.

I remember trying to read the old Rogue Squadron books years ago and always getting bored.

Curious as to what kinda story The Mandalorian does for Season 3. Dark Saber will probably be the focus, and I imagine people will "protest" and claim to not watch if Grogu is absent all season, or most of it.

I doubt there will be protest. Grogu’s story was paid off perfectly in the finale, and it’s SW so you know the character will resurface eventually. I personally expect him to be a big part in whatever the crossover between Mandalorian/Rangers of the New Republic/Ahsoka(+Book of Boba Fett?) will be. He’ll probably be a “key” in defeating Thrawn.
Mando Season 3 will almost definitely revolve around Mandalore and who is the rightful ruler.... if the planet even still exists. Bill Burr said it didn’t in Episode 7 so who knows. Regardless I imagine the Darksaber is still the symbol for whoever “leads” all Mandalorians so that will definitely be a major factor in Season 3.
Just sorta silly because the Darksaber has literally never had the “only passes via combat” rule, so that was invented just to add tension between Mando and Bo Katan. They straight steal it from Maul, and then Sabine just gives it to Bo Katan in Rebels. None of this “you need to beat them in combat” stuff.

I haven't seen Season 2 yet (will be binging soon) but it's interesting that the baby Yoda stuff is over already. I was expecting a kind of "Lone Wolf and Cub" thing that would play out over many seasons, not just 2. I guess I thought Grogu factored more into the imbedded story than he is.
Looking forward to watching S2.

Yeah I'm sure we'll see more of Grogu, hopefully it's sooner than later though. I'm excited to see what they do with Mando possessing the darksaber.

They picked a good director. She's also inspired by her dad being an F4 pilot. I hope that all translates well.
No baby yoda, no viewers.
