I choose to believe that after Obi-Wan Force Ghosted, Anakin comforted himself by muttering, "Space station's the highest ground there is, asshole."

Damn, he could have used the "I love your new legs, they make you look taller" on Anakin as well.

@"is return of the jedi supposed to be plural or singular" : for what it's worth, french translations ran with singular for ROTJ, and plural for TLJ.

"To be fair he also somewhat got one in on Vader with the whole ghost thing - first Ahsoka up and vanishes into thin air when Vader goes for the killing blow, now Obi-Wan as well?"

I just love the Ashoka getting saved scene because you just know Vader would thus leave forever wondering "The fuck was that?"

Cool concept art for a Star Wars fangame idea.

Jawa, a cross of Destiny and Journey, where players can form Jawa clans, travel, scavenge, and trade around Tatooine, and use a Sandcrawler as their mobile clan base.

Apparently, the "it takes place on Exegol" thing was a joke, which makes sense.

*looks it up*

Yup, false alarm, there IS a Star Wars work coming by those aforementioned writers but it's not confirmed to have anything to do with Exegol.

It’s probably their “high Republic” project we’ve been hearing rumors about.

The High Republic era is after the KOTOR era and the Jedi Civil War and all that, right? Basically, it's Yoda's lifetime?

That's gonna be an interesting era because it means no Sith.

The Sith are in hiding at that point & its canon that they don't openly fight the Jedi until Menace meaning we may get none-Sith primary villains.

Hi, I interrupt this Star Wars thread to tell you that I just finished watching Furie and my opinion now is the Resistance didn't need to bother with Luke when they could've just given Rose's sister the lightsaber because HOLY F***!!!

It's on Netflix, though I hear it's region-locked in some places.

By the way, speaking of Disney related things... as the granddaughter of an Emperor, isn't Rey now literally a Disney Princess?

[up]Considering Daisy Ridley is done with Star Wars, she’s probably in the same place as those abandoned Disney films, or The Black Cauldron. Not spoken of at parties.

She just said that she didn't want to do another Star Wars film. I mean, Carrie Fisher said the same thing and then she changed her mind. I'm sure Daisy could as well, especially if tempted with enough money.

Just wait till she cools down after a while.

I mean shit Ford doesn't even like Star Wars yet he's still here cause the money's good.

[up][up] I assume a combo of the Fandom Menace & the actual movies giving her disappointing material.

[up]Most of the interviews just said she was exhausted by it. Three blockbusters in that amount of time is a huge drain, physically and mentally. Especially for a series that iconic.

And, as noted, with a horrible fandom.

I've found that a lot of things have a horrible fandom. In a given fandom, there are usually three kinds of people.

  1. Group A: Toxic assholes whose shitty behavior alienates people, makes the fandom as a whole look really bad, and sometimes involve actual crimes.
  2. Group B: People who push back against Group A because they want their fandom to be more inclusive, to be welcoming to newcomers, and to not involve toxic assholes and sometimes actual crimes.
  3. Group C: People who push back against Group B because they don't like "drama" and think that as long as we just let bygones be bygones, everyone can get along.

The general healthiness of a fandom has a lot to do with the population percentage between Groups B and C. You can tell a lot about a fandom by whether the common response to Group A is "F*ck this guy's shit" or "Let's all play nice and not say anything untoward about Group A."
