It's ok to love the new trilogy. Arbitrarily defending it as being very good or great is where the rank stench of manure enters.
Nothing's going to change it because since you love it, it has to be great, so...whatever. Go see it 73 more times and bump those sales numbers to justify your position more, Zeb. The new trilogy can sit right up there with the McDonald's hamburgers are great because look at the sales trope.

The problem with the prequels was that it was one man's vision. People constantly questioned Lucas's decisions on the original film, which led it to be tighter and better than his original vision. On Empire, Lucas hired his film professor from USC as director, giving him the ability to question Lucas's bad ideas, and led to a better film. Jedi came out after Lucas fell out with Gary Kurtz, who had held Lucas's wilder impulses in check, and was directed by a yes man. Jedi was weaker for it. NO ONE questioned Lucas on the prequels, and it shows. Someone needed to reign in his bad ideas, and the movies suffered for it.

I love the Rise of Skywalker. When have I said it was good? Typical Roland. Ignore what proves you wrong.

I liked the "nobody" arch much more than what we ended up with and wanted more for Rey, but at least she isn't a whiny b!@ch. The callbacks need to end. Write some original content and fricking move forward.
Mandalorian is definitely on the right path, however.

The upcoming Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series looks to be featuring another familiar Star Wars face.
According to Daniel Richtman, a new casting grid has surfaced for the series, and while there's little in way of plot details, it does confirm the show is looking to cast a young Luke Skywalker.

AFAIK this is supposed to be set about 8 years after RoTS? So they could probably cast any skinny little dirty dishwater blonde boy and it'll be fine. 8 year olds can't act anyway. 8 year olds, dude.

Haley Joel Osment was pretty good around that age.

I guess they'll just make up some stupid adventures.

Haha yeah so was Dakota and Dafne. I'm mostly just kidding but I don't expect we're going to get a whole lot of Luke so I don't imagine they'll be casting the next Daniel Radcliffe.

Check out the Darth Bane Trilogy. I don't think it's canon any more since it was written before Disney took over, but it covers what your talking about.

Zebulon Dak wrote:That whole thing is kind of convoluted anyway, especially because when we see Luke in that Rebels episode he looks to be fairly young, IMO. A lot closer to maybe 10 or 11 than 16-17. I mean, from what little of him we saw. But that's cartoon sh*t and would be easily retconned by anything live action.

We know for a fact that Ezra Bridger is 1-2 days older than Luke and Leia. It's established canon that Ezra was born the day the Republic became the Empire. So, Luke had to be 16-17 in that episode of Rebels.
According to First Order Transmissions, and it’s something I’ve heard as well, a follow-up animated series to Star Wars Rebels featuring Ahsoka and Sabine is slated for release sometime this year. They mention that Filoni is involved, which I’ve heard as well, but I heard that he may not be directly overseeing it like he did with the original Rebels.

The Mandalorian already has 10x as much Star Wars in it as the entire sequel trilogy does. This show rocks.

Turns out, he did not. He fell into the Sarlacc pit, but if you go back and watch the first episode of this season they basically explained how he survived without explaining how he survived, if you know what I mean.
For the nerds, it's been known that he'd survived for some time now. For the average fan, I imagine it's a bit confusing.
