Is that Lando playing a do-dibber?
Bad Batch Finale ended pretty well. Plenty of stakes where you donāt know where the story will go, but it ends with an olive branch leading into the OT with its set up and Easter eggs.

I want to make clear from the beginning that the following is not my observation, nor my list, but once I heard it I saw the point it was trying to make, and knew I needed to share it, if just for a laugh.
The Star Wars movies all have the wrong titles:
Episode I, we meet Anakin Skywalker and his story begins - The Rise of Skywalker.
Episode II, Palpatine, the Lord of the Sith, has created an army that he intends to use to destroy the Jedi - Revenge of the Sith.
Episode III, Order 66 happens and the clones attack - Attack of the Clones.
Episode IV, Obi-Wan teaches Luke that itās time for the Jedi to return - Return of the Jedi.
Episode V, Yoda teaches Luke how to use the Force - The Force Awakens.
Episode VI, both Yoda and Anakin die, making Luke - The Last Jedi.
Episode VII, after the empire is destroyed, a new empire takes its place - The Empire Strikes Back.
Episode VIII, Luke trains Rey and then sacrifices himself to give the resistance - A New Hope.
Episode IX, Palpatine returns from the dead, which makes him - The Phantom Menace.

Donāt show that list to George Lucas or he will go tell Disney that he wants all the titles mixed up.

I seen this argument plenty of times on social media. To this day I still find it moronic.
Especially calling Ep.2 Revenge of the Sith, the Sith doesnāt live out their revenge. They set another piece in place for the payoff, but it doesnāt come to fruition until ep.3.
But yes in broad terms the various titles can be switched around, but it doesnāt really hold water.

This is exactly why I said donāt show George. Han shooting second or āat the same timeā is also moronicā¦ but itās what we now have thanks to the master revisionist.

In terms of who made them and in terms of legal rights, yeah, he has a leg to stand on. But Ive always held the view that once you put something out into the world, and especially once it has a large enough following that it could continue successfully and consistently without your input, it is not yours anymore. While terms of who gets credit for coming up with the idea and who the law backs in terms of ownership are obviously one thing, for all true intents and purposes, every part of the Star Wars franchise has grown beyond George Lucas or his opinions on it. It is not his anymore. In reality, it hasnāt been since the first film was successful enough to warrant its first sequel.
For further context George has went on record before citing that at least the original trilogy was considered not his full vision and are essentially W.I.P due to technical limitations at the time.
The Re-Releases and Changes that happened were either to achieve what he wanted initially when the film releases or to make the IV-Vl consistent due to subsequent sequels and or the prequels. Itās why Jabba is no longer a fat man in ANH and why we have a young force ghost Anakin Skywalker at the end of RoTJ because of further elaboration and understanding on how the force works.
Even the prequels were touched up after release. Yoda became CGI because of how impressive the rendering was for Attack of the Clones and that change was retroactively fitted into Phantom Menace. Revenge of the Sith had changes as early as the home video release. And Attack of the Clones got an IMAX release months after its May theatrical debut that shorten the film by 20 Minutes.
My point is that George made these changes because this is how he wants these films to be see for generations to come. I donāt know Georgeās involvement with the Disney+ changes, but I know that for the most part they retain Georgeās changes since the D+ changes are very minor.

I find the majority of changes made to original trilogy to be for the better. I might not love the Gredo and Han change. But in the grand scheme the Lucas changes for the most part elevated the films.
I absolutely love the newest change, we saw with the 4K release of A New Hope. Suddenly and unexpectedly Gredo yelling āMackunky!ā Itās such a pure George Lucas moment and Iām bewildered by why he found it necessary.

Personally, I like all the changes, with the possible exception of Vader screaming NO before killing the Emperor, Iām 50/50 on that one. And I absolutely do not care whether Han Solo shot Greedo first or not. Honestly, who gives a fuck? Did Solo win?! Yes? Then what needed to happen, happened. Iām sick to absolute death of the Han-shoots-first outcry.
