This is by far the emptiest SW film ever created imo. TCW film has more plot and better characters than this. It is frankly a complete nothing burger of a film. Most of it is jumping from one stakeless action scene to the next. Little to no character work, lame villains, and a complete waste of Sigourney Weaver.

Very much a popcorn flick with next to no substance. You turn off your brain, have some fun, and then forget about it.

Overall, 4/10 or 5/10 if I'm being generous. Rotta was ironically the best part for me, because he has the closest thing to a character and some development. It's exactly what I expected. Not as bad as the sequels, not as good as Rogue One or Solo. Definitely won't be including it in my rewatches. Apologies for being a Negative Nancy.

I just finished rewatching The Mandalorian season 1. It was as good as I remember. The standalone episodes with Din learning how to be a better person and a better father work really well. The action, acting, story, music, and characters were all really great. 9/10.

Now I’m going to watch the first two episodes of The Mandalorian season 2. And then I’m going go to bed. It’s crazy that I already finished rewatching The Mandalorian season 1 in one day.

I was not excepting that. Especially since I started it on a whim. So I didn’t start it until 6:00 PM. I just thought I would watch a few episodes today. That’s just what happens sometimes lol.

Rewatching the prequels and the Jedi counsels depiction in the movies confuses me more and more every time i rewatch. For context, I’ve been a die hard Star Wars nerd and fan for almost twenty years and grew up on EVERYTHING SW.

I’m in the military so I sort of frame Mace as the executive officer (second in command) of the counsel. Obviously with Yoda as the grandmaster of the order (and for an extremely long time).

Despite Yoda being the most revered Jedi maybe ever, Mace makes decisions for the counsel that the movie seems to depict Yoda not agreeing with. Mace does this in the presence of Yoda and I do not understand (1) why Mace feels he can do this and why (2) Yoda does not override him. My primary example of this is when Palpatine recommends Obi Wan and Anakin protect Padme in the start of AOTC. Mace unilaterally decides to this despite a “look” by Yoda.

Maybe this is described in the books or comics or extra lore I’m not familiar with. But something that bothers me and makes me hate Mace as a leader and character even more lol

At first i dont know everything about star wars and im just seen the movies so my suggestion might not make any sense.

I accidentally got this idea for the what if series in star wars that what if anakin does not cut mace windu arm but they end up together to stop palpatine once and for all and after that anakin could continue his training to bring the balance to the force, but he doesnt know what is the right way so he just rush everywhere and fight all the evil with raw power.

All the other jedies are little bit afraid anakins power even though he just want to end all the evil in galaxy but hes powers are so strong that jedies know that no one can control him. Even though he has not yet fulfilled his true potential.

So anakins start to be annoyed that every one are so like "you should more this and this and not like this" so he turns up to padme who is still pregnant. I dont know how the conversation could go but anyway. Anakins is going back to mission or something and being there padme is starting feeling contractions and needs to go to the hospital to give birth and obi wan is going with her.

So when padme is giving birth anakin feels her pain and knows that shes not gonna make it so when padme dies anakin feels it immediately in force so hes feelings of sadness and anger tears places apart and every force user can feel the pain what anakin is going thru. so anakin rush to the hospital and when he sees padmes body hes feelings are just growing and you can see it on his eyes when they are slowly turning yellow and sparkles are coming from his hands and his struggling between darkness and light. But when he hears lukes or leias cry he almost immediately kind like awake and turns around and see when obi wan is carrying a baby and slowly give it to anakin and that's where he realizes everything. That padme is still living inside them and that it was all about love. Not fighting, but love. So all the feelings just disappears and darth vader never borns.

And the series could end for when anakin realize everything he must do and sit down and just with his connection to the force he stops all the evil in the whole galaxy and it could be call purification or something.

These events could be at the end of the series. But otherwise the series could tell something about his growth to become the bringer of balance.

Thanks for reading down here. I appreciate it.

And if there are much more wiser fans then me out there, please throw some ideas for this 🙂👍

Hey everyone,

I’ve been looking for the best way to watch The Mandalorian & Grogu online worldwide and wanted to know what streaming options are currently available.

Has anyone else already streamed it online? Is this currently the best option available, or is there an official global streaming release yet?

Would really appreciate any updates or recommendations 🙏

I never watched the movies or the series and some friends convinced me to start with them after we finish our MCU rewatch.

Are there any comics i can read that could be a good introduction in the series and that won’t spoil me ?

With the stuff that was set up in Kenobi, Jedi Survivor, and Tales of the Underworld, the Hidden Path is the next big major Star Wars thing I wanna see!

Starring Quinlan Vos, showing the origins and events of this "Underground Railroad" inspired organization showing a rebellion-type of group that doesn't really wanna fight the Empire, just avoid it, and save people! A story about potential and redemption!

A bit like a sequel series to the Bad Batch containing returning characters like Oppo Rancisis, Kelleran Beq, and Ventress, Legends characters turned canon like Kahleen (Vos's wife in legends), and new characters! Former Jedi younglings trying to find new lives, former Separatists teaming up with their former opponents against a common enemy, and washed-up Republic senators who left the Senate - there's a ton of Clone Wars characters to use! Plus, more of Rex's clone network expanded from Bad Batch!

Imagine all the different story arcs we could get from something like this! It could very well last 3-4 seasons!

Currently watching Return of the Jedi, and thinking about how the Ewoks became the MVP of the battle, basically being the Achilles' heel in the Empire's trap. Then, without the Shields going down, the fleet is done for, so far so good for old Palpatine, right???

Except no Ewoks were involved in what was happening in the throne room. Meaning Emperor Palpatine would still die by being thrown into the reactor shaft, and Vader dies from being electrocuted, meaning that although the Empire would have destroyed the Rebel Fleet, it is decapitated.

Would that be interesting, or not?

P.S. Mods, if this is the wrong subreddit to post this on, what would be? I had some trouble finding one with appropriate tags.

Hey everyone! Hopefully this is okay to post in this group.

Over the past couple of months I've been working on a website that tracks every legends and canon novel. I thought I would share it on this group to help people discover new Star Wars books. I also built in sorting and filter systems. I'm planning on updating it with comics and maybe adding in movies and shows eventually. Let me know what you think!

I am going to sit down with my girlfriend to have her watch Star Wars for the first time ever. I know there’s the chronological order and the lore order of 4,5,1,2,3,6 and I don’t know where the series tie in to that order. What is the best order to watch for someone who hasn’t watched them? I want to include Kenobi because that has been my favorite series so far and I love the end of it. But how should I go along with it for her?

I understand alot of people hate him. Alot of people in the Star Wars universe hate him. Maybe even alot of people on LucasFilm hate him. I personally DON'T hate him - I mean I grew up with him, so it might be a bias.

Regardless of our opinions of him, and whether we think he deserves this fate or not, after thinking about it for a long time - his fate in the Aftermath book makes no sense, at least not with the information we were given - it has been a long 20 years between Revenge of the Sith and that book.

So why do I believe this? Well, here are a few reasons:

1. He was blamed for "giving" Palpatine emergency powers. He has absolutely no power to give anybody anything in the Senate. The SENATE gave him emergency powers. And he only proposed it because Palpatine and Mas Amedda manipulated him. Palpatine manipulated EVERYBODY! He manipulated Padme to give the vote of no confidence to Chancellor Valorm, and paving the way for Palpatine to become chancellor - I don't see anybody hating her for that. Hate him or not, it seems pretty unfair.

2. Jar Jar has a queen girlfriend on Bardotta. Why stay on Naboo where apparently nobody likes him, instead of going to the one and only place where EVERYBODY likes him? We don't even know where his connection with them CAME from! So that's another big question for Jar Jar's story. George R. Binks is no longer canon, so his backstory and origins is a clean slate.

3. Naboo appeared several times in the Imperial era, and clown Jar Jar never camoed. Vader even went to the Gungan city, and he STILL wasn't around. Yes, he was banished, but he coulda easily cameoed in the swamps, or the streets, but he didn't. The only time he appeared was in the Aftermath book during the New Republic era.

4. He lent Kelleran Beq his ship and personal Naboo guards to rescue Grogu from the Jedi Temple. Grogu's story between Order 66 and Mandalorian is TOO a mystery! If Jar Jar seems to have a connection to Jedi during the Republic's downfall, why stay on Naboo to be a clown?

5. Boss Lyonnie, the boss of the Gungans at the time of the Clone Wars LIKED and RESPECTED Jar Jar. I have a hard time believing HE banished him. The only way the boss would banish him is if his council forced him to. Either that, or they elected a new boss, and he had it out for Jar Jar. But we don't know that right now.

Now, I'm NOT retconning that book. All I'm saying is, I don't think we know the whole story. One person can't have ALL of this happen, and then spend TWENTY years being a hated street performer.

I don't believe in the Darth Jar Jar theory. But I do believe there's alot missing from him. We only haven't been getting anything because either too many fans hate him, or LucasFilm is not interested.

Either way - I am personally interested to see what happens next with him, because that one-shot Jar Jar comic was obviously the start of something. It's testing the waters, and so far it's been positive. So here's hoping Jar Jar's character really develops in the near future! You might not want it, and that's fine. But I do!

I saw a comic panel months ago showing a humanoid bird imperial officer, I've since tried looking for it again without success. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or was I just tripping?

One of the biggest issues I have with Disney Star Wars is that nearly all of their projects have become too interconnected. Almost every project requires homework and nearly nothing works as a standalone even when it's meant to be a standalone.

Tony Gilroy set out to write a compelling, no homework required, self contained narrative that could appeal to both Star Wars fans & non Star Wars fans.

The main protagonist and other supporting characters previously appeared in other Star Wars media, but unlike the Ahsoka TV series, Andor wasn't written under the assumption that you already knew who these characters were. If you haven't seen or read a Star Wars thing in your life, you could still come away from the show thinking these characters were interesting.

It also has a definitive ending. None of the episodes are backdoor pilots for spin-offs and it doesn't end on a cliffhanger.

I don't have anything against the idea of a multi-media universe, but I do agree that people shouldn't have to do loads of homework before watching or reading a thing they're actually interested in.

Also, unless it's meant to be a traditional sequel, they also need to tell stories that feel complete.

Ok I’m extremely confused about something in the thrawn alliance comic chapter 2. So in chapter one padame leaves battu in her handmaiden’s ship to check out mokivj. But when she’s above said planet in a panel later during chapter 2 she’s in her own ship?? Or at least in a Naboo star cruiser? How the hell did she get into that ship ? I’m trying to make sense of this but the only thing I can come up with is she went to another part of battu in the ship she called in from her handmaids little brooch and then got into a Naboo star cruiser which was her handmaids actual ship? I have problems with keeping up with small details sometimes to sorry if the answer is obviously but I really feel like it was just a missed detail and an inconsistency by the author, hopefully not tho.
