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.

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.

For those interested, here's the YouTube link for the Celebration live stream. Starts at 3:30 eastern. It says it's the "complete Celebration day 1" but of course it starts immediately after the Lucasfilm Showcase, which is likely where all the most important stuff will be revealed/discussed. No idea why they chose to do that but whatev I suppose.

They basically redid it all for the live stream. Sounded like they basically had the guests do the panel, and turn around and do it again for the stream and the fans in that room.

Yah I was keeping up. The Andor trailer looks way better than I expected but otherwise it was sort of nothing.

First 2 episodes of Kenobi dropped 3 hours early, it’s out on Disney+ right now. Watching the first ep now & going to a watch gathering tomorrow to watch both. Happy to be excited for Star Wars again (pls be better than Episode IX & Book of Boba Fett).

Even after just those 2 episodes, Obi Wan Kenobi is already EASILY my favorite of the Star Wars Disney+ shows. Great stuff, can't wait for the next 4.

I'm a fan of Kenobi so far. Only a minor quibble about the minor actors in Disney+ all having the same tone.

I didn't really rub up against the actors in Kenobi so far. I know Kumail Nanjiani seemed a bit out of place because he was literally just playing the same character he would in any project, but even then I didn't really mind it too hard. I liked the character's heroism at the end of the second episode, honestly. My biggest complaint is the pacing of Episode 2, and how long the "Leia runs away" shtick lasted. To be honest, I don't really understand Leia's motivation to run away in the first place, but I can chalk that up to her being young and naive, not understanding the actual situation.
But yah, Andor's trailer over-delivered big time. What was originally my least anticipated SW show, is suddenly right up there at the top. It looks great. Here's hoping it delivers an actually-good narrative and they didn't just pluck all the best shots for the teaser.

Kenobi has been great so far. I loved ep 3. I especially loved that they still had JEJ voicing Vader. I remember thinking the voice for Vader in Rogue One seemed frail...like JEJ's voice had got weak with age, but he was prefect in this one. It also feels cooler just KNOWING that Hayden Christensen is in the suit. The fight was fantastic too. Vader feels so powerful and Obi-Wan feels like a guy completely out of practice and overpowered.
My one quibble. I wish they used the Imperial March for Vader. I know John Williams music is not used for the shows, but it definitely felt like a lost opportunity. They spared no expense for these shows. Just pay the man and use his masterpiece.

@bonham2 They could totally still use Williams’ music, I think it’s more of a decision not to, but yah it would’ve been nice to hear. Maybe they’re saving it for the finale or something.
Williams actually scored the Kenobi show’s theme song, but the rest of the show is being scored by Natalie Holt.

Fallen Order is definitely worth your time if you haven't played it yet.

Yeah I'm gonna be a naysayers with JFO. It was so janky and forgettable. No interest in this new one.

The first one had parts that I enjoyed, but the map was the worst of any game I've ever played. I still haven't finished the platinum, because it's so easy to get lost trying to find all of the collectibles.

I didn't notice JFO being janky or anything like that, I really loved the mechanics and the lightsaber combat is the best of any SW game yet imo.
I CAN see the map criticism I suppose. I mean, I had no trouble with it, but I wish it was generally a bit more "open world" and not as linear as it was. Traveling to new planets should seem like TRAVELING TO NEW PLANETS, not "traveling to one specific, very small area of a planet".
