Revenge of the Sith is my favorite Star Wars movie ever. Us getting the Anakin vs Obi Wan/Yoda vs the Emperor battles was the most Star Warsy thing since Luke blew up the original Death Star.

Been Reading Empire Vol 2,
A lot of fun stuff in this compendium of comics.
Continues the story of Dass Jennir and it culminates in a confrontation with Vader that ends with a sacrifice.
It also tells a story about Darth Vaders encounter with a deadly assassin that also establishes how a specific space station got its destructive properties.
And a tale of a clone survivor left for dead, jaded by the Jedi seeking revenge through the empire.
This compendium concludes with C-3PO and R2D2 going on adventures with their owners prior to the events of A New Hope. It’s more fun than it is action packed and bleak. It’s the equivalent to a Saturday Morning Cartoon if anything.
Oh and few isolated stories one involving Han and a Jedi ending with Han getting his memory wiped of the Jedi, Luke as a child alluding to how in tune he is with the force even as a child, and also one where Luke is in the dune sea and he is trying to survive a desert storm with a child named Annie, and lastly a encounter with Darth Maul and Ben Kenobi in the desert prior to its rebels debut.
Altogether a fun compendium that continues a lot of Vol 1 and further establishes the early years of the empire post Episode 3 down to how the destructive properties of the Death Star were created.

I have been watching Skelton Crew all night. It’s light and silly at times but it’s still starwars. I am enjoying it. I think I have one left. Its target audience is certainly not me, but me from 30 years ago. It’s clear they wanted people my age to be able to enjoy it as well and I have.
I can’t wait for Andor season 2 and I don’t believe Skelton season 2 is necessary, but if this is how they bring in new fans then at least we know it won’t suck.
Andor season 2 trailer
Also I posted this a bit ago in the game deals thread but it should also probably be mentioned here as well

I’m so hyped for Andor, but I’m not going to watch the trailer. I’m at a point where I only watch the teaser/first trailer for movies/shows I look forward to. They have a tendency to give far to much away.

Well, the trailer mainly presents a gallery of characters (and recurring ones). It reassures us about the atmosphere of rebellion that will make its return and new scenes that promise to be epic. Cassian has gained more confidence and bosses up. A good old rock song gives breath to these exciting first images. Only two months to wait for this show.

Okay I gave in, I absolutely hated the trailer.
I have no doubt that it will be a pheromonal show, but the choice of music did not fit. It’s Star Wars, it doesn’t need pop culture music. I’m aware Skeleton Crew did it, but at least they Star Wars’ified it. It was still wrong.
This was as ill fitting as it could be, the visuals screamed Star Wars the music, screamed dad garage rock.

I mean if you want to talk about great Star Wars music that is actually modern, the opening song to Fallen Order can’t be beat…

I also didn’t like the music in the trailer or even really the trailer. It’s like they were afraid no one will watch season 2 so they had to keep reminding us how good season one was with all its accolades put on screen. But from what I saw of season two it looks incredible. I can’t wait.

Kathleen Kennedy is an hall of fame producer and maybe even the best, at least according to Steven Spielberg and who am I to argue with him.
She was not a good studio head, even if she on the paper was an ideal choice to follow George Lucas. I’m glad that her time as head of Lucas Film has come to an end, hopefully she will get back to producing.
I’m glad that she’s very likely leaving her position on a high note with Andor season 2 and she began her career on high note with Episode 7.
Now I hope that Star Wars can get their own “Kevin Feige”. As much as I like Dave Filoni is not the answer.

Dude I’m so pumped !!
I hate knowing it’s over after season 2 but also I know shows are better then they have a pre determined end rather than just “keep it going as long as it makes money.”
