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.

Oh ok. I said "so his story ends..." in my previous post and you didn't correct me, so I figured that must be it.

I did say she didn’t die but yah, could’ve been clearer. If THAT was the actual ENDing ending, I def wouldn’t be so happy with that script haha. I like downer endings for certain stories but SW is not that story.

I only skimmed those comics, but the one thing that actually does look better is Rey having the dual lightsaber. I'm still mad she didn't actually have it in Ep IX.

Anyone watching The Bad Batch? Second episode dropped today and the first was pretty darn good. I had no real interest in this particular show (I’m over the clone schtick tbh) but the plot they’re building is actually pretty interesting.

I'm interested in it. Is it watchable without having to watch the Clone Wars show? I have 0 desire to watch that

@Kommie yeah I’d say it is as long as you have some knowledge of Order 66 and that whole situation, which anyone who’s seen the movies should.
I’ve seen very few episodes of Clone Wars myself, I wasn’t huge into it, and I was fine keeping up. There’s probably little easter eggs that I didn’t catch but nothing plot-breaking. There’s also an appearance made by the younger version of a character from Rebels (which I did watch), but if I didn’t know exactly who it was it wouldn’t have mattered - his appearance doesn’t require any previous knowledge in order to get what’s going on.
I’d say give it a go if you think it looks up your alley.

Just actually watched it on the 4th. I kind of want to watch The Clone Wars again... but I did enjoy this.
Also watched Star Wars Biomes.... it got me wanting a Planet Earth style of show but with the main Star Wars planets.

Just stumbled upon this photo and never really put this together. It puts the calm look Obi Wan gets when he lets Darth Vader strike him down into a whole new context. He sees Luke and Leia, and realizes that he has completed his job: he protected Luke until he began to realize his own destiny, thus setting in motion what would ultimately save the galaxy. Luke being reunited with his sister was proof of that, so he felt at peace letting his guard down and leaving the mortal plane to finally become one with the Force.
Who knows if Lucas had envisioned this when writing that scene in A New Hope (I sorta doubt it) and who knows if he included Obi Wan in Episode III's birth scene in order to create that context (also sorta doubt it), but it works out real well either way.

For anyone who was interested when I posted about this a while back, the fan comic adaptation of Colin Trevorrow's Episode IX script "Duel of the Fates" has been completed, full color: http://awinegarner.s...
Just reread it now that it's finished. Such a great story, and wraps up the entire saga in such a wonderful way. If anyone is looking for an alternate Episode IX, or are at all interested in what was planned prior to Abrams being rehired on the film, I definitely recommend reading this comic.
Not an attempted slight toward The Rise of Skywalker, my thoughts on that movie are well-established, just appreciation of a story I enjoyed a bit more than what we got in the official movie.

The lengths some people will go to haha

Obi-Wan series:
I'm freaking stoked over this. He's one of the best characters in Star Wars. It's pretty clear they are going to have him fight Vader again, but I really hope to see him helping people and just being a good dude. I'm also sure that Vader won't be on Tatooine so we'll get some different scenery thankfully.

That show has got to be better than Boba Fett though, really hope they do Obi Wan justice.

Figured I'd re-open the thread since Kenobi drops on Friday and Star Wars Celebration starts tomorrow & lasts until Sunday. Obviously not going, but I'm pretty pumped about Celebration. SW has been pretty top notch since moving to streaming TV & focusing more on comics/books (except for half of Boba Fett), so I'm excited to see what they reveal.
For Celebration, I predict:
-Taika Waititi's SW movie announcement
-Andor trailer
-Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen appearances
-Cast announcement for The Acolyte show

I'm excited for Kenobi, but it's going to be a bit before I'm able to watch it. I want to watch the Boba Fett show first (I know it's not required, I just want to, since it came out first). Also, we're trying to finish re-watching S1-S3 of Stranger Things before we watch S4, and we're already going to be a few days late on that.
It's definite that Taika is directing a SW movie, we just don't know what exactly it will be yet, right?

Well Lucasfilm has a history of replacing directors but Taika is so popular that they just can't this time. So, yah, he's confirmed but the actual movie itself is unknown so far. Would be wonderful to find out what he's doing during Celebration.
