Star Wars Universe (Rebels, Clone Wars, Comics, Books, Video Games) • Page 130

after watching all the prequel content during quarantine, I’m mixed on watching Clone Wars fully chronologically. some episodes definitely benefit from being seen before/after their timeline counterparts, but I feel like others were meant to be viewed as flashbacks.

I also hit a wall after Solo. I loved Rebels, but just finished watching it this fall when D+ launched (although I’m excited to rewatch Mandalorian already). definitely a handful of episodes I want to rewatch, so I might resume my full watch through soon.

 

Oh yeah I was just including that when I wrote Clone Wars

 

Finished Clone Wars a few weeks ago (after dragging my feet big-time through the last couple seasons because I didn't want it to end) What a final arc though! That was incredibly good for me. In the meantime I finished Thrawn and am about halfway through Thrawn Alliances. Just started Rebels a couple nights ago. It's safe to say I've fallen off the deep end with Star Wars over the past six months or so haha.

 

Let me just take a moment to recommend anyone read Lost Stars. I just listened to the audiobook and was reminded how damn good it is.

 

Literally JUST came here to post this lol.

Also, the prequels are good sans the crappy writing around the love story and Hayden’s wooden acting. Don’t @ me.

 

Also Ewan McGregor is trending and there aren’t nearly enough “hello there”s and “General Kenobi!”s out there

 

honestly, rian is officially the closest i've ever been inclined to giving those prequels another chance after YEARS

 

The prequels get worse with each film (even though the popular opinion in the ~fandom~ is the opposite), but they're worth a watch if your tastes include "campy pulp serials" & "genre films that aren't good but by golly they really went for it." The Phantom Menace especially is probably the Star Wars film that's most fully his vision for what he wanted to make, for good or ill.

Takes on the prequels that are simplistically "they're actually good" or "they suck" are boring (as someone who definitely has a lot of "they suck" posts on this site, lol). They're failures on many levels, but if you're into the act of creating things, they're very interesting, especially if viewed after (not before) the original trilogy & through the lens of George Lucas & his influences.

 

This is the worst thing I've ever read and if it's true I give up

Disney Resetting Star Wars; Erasing Last Jedi

 

I’d say there’s no way that happens but there’s still some time left in 2020 for more bad shit to happen

 

That's quite the imagination

saved you all a click

 

There’s legitimately zero percent chance that will ever happen.

 

I knew I could count on all of you

 

Cosmic Book News is a notorious awful, unreliable, anti-"SJW" dumpster fire of a website, fyi. So, if any part of your mind keeps track of good & bad sources... remember that site as a bad one, lol.

 

Thanks. I definitely don't read much about Star Wars from around the web for exactly this reason, and I'll for sure disregard that site from now on.

 

I’m almost done on my first time watch of all the SW movies. All I have left is Solo and Rise of Skywalker. I’ve enjoyed all the sequel movies and standalone ones a lot so far

 

Emma Roberts With Flooded With "General Kenobi" After She Says "Hello There"

Lol it’s from January but I missed this at the time

 

No idea how reputable this site is

Hayden Christensen’s Next Star Wars Appearance Reportedly Revealed

 

I’m not opposed to him returning if it makes narrative sense. If it happens in the Obi Wan show, I’d trust Chow to pull it off.

 

We Got This Covered might be the most prolific bullshit factory in the entire clickbait universe, & that's saying a lot, lol.

Not hit or miss w/ access to actual industry gossip like Jeremy Conrad's sites. Not simple non-journalistic reposts like CBR, Newsrama, etc. Not even nonsense filtered through a bitter anti-"SJW" filter like Cosmic Book News to get those clicks from reactionary nerds & bigots. Nope, just a steady stream of baseless shit churned out like some kinda fanfic/clickbait hybrid, lol. They only seem to still get away w/ it 'cause most people don't have it in 'em to differentiate between the various nerd pop culture blogs.

(I didn't even click the link when I saw who it was. If they link to an actual decent-sounding outside source, guess that could be posted instead?)

 

Shit

edit: I thought Filoni had announced the Rebels sequel for next year but it was not really him. I am ashamed.

 

Bad joke

 

:(
