Love the attention to the Jedi arc.   Looking forward to Rey's inner Palpatine creating some trauma, drama, electric fingers?

 

 

 

Thanks for this updated!  Not thrilled Andor will end, but I get it.  These limited series are going to fit in to the larger epic.

Yes, totally agree! I'm looking forward to seeing more of Rey's story. I didn't love how the sequel trilogy ended but I still love the characters—wonder if they'll bring in anybody else from the sequel trilogy...

F to the UCK YES......

 

We saw Chopper and Hera in this trailer too (not to mention the back of Thrawn's head) and Zeb in Mandalorian....REBELS FOREVER BABY

Am I the only one who doesn't trust this? The only one who thinks they're going to "wear out" the mythos, and that the further they move away from George Lucas the worse things get?

 

That they haven't learned from previous failures.

 

That they think that just by putting the "StarWars" brand on it, it's all good enough.

 

Maybe I'm the only one. But it's my opinion.

 

For me there's more StarWars in Episode III than in the whole third trilogy put together. And I have that third trilogy at home on Blu-ray and 4K. But it's another thing what I think of it.

 

Will they go so far as to make "the force" seem like just another superpower like any trendy superhero?

 

The only thing I liked about this news is that at least they chose James Mangold. I think his work on "Logan" is sublime, it would be even epic if it wasn't for that sugary Spielberg touch at the end. 

 

All my respect and admiration for George Lucas, wherever he is. He was criticised a lot, and he had hits and misses, but everything he did smelled of StarWars from afar. 

Some of us miss him (a lot).

Hi all,

 

More news came out as the weekend progressed. I added that info to the original post. It's about Return of the Jedi's return to theaters and also news regarding The Bad Batch, Visions, and Tales of the Jedi.

 

Here is the trailer for Visions Volume 2:

I doubt we'll see anyone else. John Boyega made his feelings pretty clear (and I don't blame him). Oscar Isaac has just become too big of an actor and I'm not sure he'd want to anyway. I think he mentioned he might come back if he decided he wants another house, ha.

 

None of the major characters were pleased with how it all transpired. I think Daisy is mostly back to try to jump start her career again. It's a shame because the Rey's faults had nothing to do with her - I personally think she's an underrated actress.

You're definitely not the only one. Recent history makes it difficult to think any other way. 

 

I'm just trying to hold out hope that they have positively received the feedback from the sequel trilogy (and some of the D+ shows) and that we'll see some change.  I have some faith in Filoni because he just seems to "get" Star Wars. IMO, he's having a problem adapting to live action though.

You’re definitely not alone like Guy pointed out. The Internet hates “new” Star Wars, that being said, I for one prefer more content then less.

 

I do agree that the newest trilogy had its faults. From the force awakens onward, the prequel trilogy essentially got worse film by film, but I still enjoyed them.  
 

The rise of Skywalker’s end was my least favorite, but I loved the force awakens and most of the last Jedi. Thr Snoke ben&rey scene in the last jedi was awesome imo.
 

I’ve watched the force awakens maybe more times than I have watched any other Star Wars film and I’ve watched all of them at least ten times. I love all the animated content for the most part as well.

 

At the end of the day I would prefer us to get content than to not get content.
