Everything Star Wars v2

Can anyone tell me what happened to Dash Rendar? I did some poking around online only to find that maybe his ship is in Rise of Skywalker but I couldn’t find a photo that convinced me.

I’d love to see his story line explored or if he’s dead I’m sure there is a good story behind why.

His or rather a ship of the same type is in the climax of the film. But the same type of ship is also seen in Rebels. But with a different crew. There is currently nothing to suggest it’s him.

But he’s is canon. He was mentioned in the Solo companion book.

His ship is also in the special edition of a new Hope. Dash Rendar is s fucking Badass and Shadows of the Empire is a good book and I’d buy a Remaster or Remake of the video-game in an instant.

I always thought of him as an even more ā€œDon Johnsonisedā€ version of Han Solo. I just don’t see how he could still be alive and helping the good guys since he’s been no where since Shadows.

I’d love a mini series that explains what happened to him though. Maybe he opened a bar somewhere and is living the quiet life… but I doubt it.

You need to remember that Shadows of the Empire isn’t canon. That said there is a good chance that they already have a new line of events that fits him into the larger narrative. It might be similar to what we know, Lucasfilm have reused parts of the expanded universe multiple times.

Yes I know. They brought Thrawn from Legends to cannon so a guy can dream.

I just saw the first 3 episodes of Andor. I liked it. It’s got the same darker feel that Rogue One had which makes sense bc it’s the same writer. Actually that guy wrote the first 3 Bourne movies too. Diego Luna is still impressive as Casian and I’m pretty in love with the leading lady. Looking forward to more.

Anyone finish Andor? I really enjoyed it and can’t wait for Season 2, but a lot of my buddies found it too slow. Curious what anyone here thought.

Yes. Star Wars has no right to be as good as Andor was. This was the quality if hoped the Mandalroain would be. It’s a good show, but Andor is well written spry drama.

It was a show I had little to no exaptations for. My overall view on the show when announced, was that it was unnecessary. Where Obi-wan was the show that I had the highest hopes for. Obi-wan had it’s highlights, but the characters like Reva took focus away from what we where sold on. Obi-wan vs. Vader Ultimately Reva was a cool character but deserved her own storyline, she got overshadowed by Obi-wan and Vader. Yet having to share the runtime, giving us to little of both worlds.

Luckily Andors ratings really kicked off towards the end, I hope this will justify more mature Star Wars content. It’s true that it’s a slowburn, but slow doesn’t equal boring. The dialogue was exciting, the action was thrilling and meaningful. Everything serves a purpose.

I can’t help to roll my eyes at the perception that slow equals boring. That we need to fill every episode with big over the top action set pieces for anything to be interesting. We live in a world where films like Blade Runner 2049 get overshadowed by Fast & Furious and whatever Marvel is spitting out at the moment.

Keep preaching bruddah! My thoughts exactly. Films like Spy Game and Body of Lies come to mind. When there is action, it was well done, but the story was about decision makers and the trust they have or don’t have or aren’t sure if they have for/with each other and the ones that they send into the cold.

I have heard season 2 will be more like 4 mini stories. Each one with a 3 episode run. There will be time jumps between them so as to showcase Cassian at different phases of life between where season 1 ended and the moments before Rogue One starts. Perhaps that will give the fans a bit more action as I imagine every 3rd episode will be the climax of some mission he’s on. It should still allow enough time though for the show to do more of what season 1 got perfect (telling a complex story without laser and explosions everywhere).

I think season 2 will follow the same formula as season 1. Episode 1 setup, episode 2, middle and 3 climax and repeat. It worked wonderful in season 1.

One thing that I really like about this is that it doesn’t look like it ignores your character progress from the first game. I don’t mean importing or anything - I mean Cal still has the skills that you’d have unlocked in the first game. Too many sequels turn the main player character into an idiot for the sake of giving that character some sort of ā€œarcā€.

I already leveled Cal up in the first game. He’s a full-fledged Jedi already. I don’t want to have to redo all that because of ā€œamnesiaā€ or some other contrived reason why he’d forget all that stuff.

I think the only thing I’m worried about his how his continued growth especially when it comes to his skill is handled. The last thing people want is Cal to go into borderline Starkiller territory.

Yeah, agreed. I’m not pulling down yet another star destroyer…

That is all.

This weeks episode of Baby Yoda actually has plot points that mean something and don’t wrap up by the. I wonder where the amnesty angle will end up taking the show!!
