Rogue One > Solo > The Mandalorian(might change as I haven't watched it all) > Prequels > Obi-Wan = That last three shit movies that were actual Star Wars movies [Reply]
That's harsh. This series doesn't even come close to the absolute disaster that is the Disney trilogy of films. There's an actual cohesive overarching plot for starters, even if there are aspects that undoubtedly suck. [Reply]

that movie perfectly executed the origin story of han solo, the only thing that was slightly off was alden's casting, which was still a very very good performance [Reply]
I really enjoyed Solo. It was a fun movie, and came closest to capturing the swashbuckling feel of the '77 original.
The backlash against Solo was, IMO, misdirected backlash over the odious Last Jedi. As people became more and more annoyed with it, they were just looking for a scapegoat, and a movie featuring a new actor playing Han was the perfect target for them. Same thing happened to The Postman, which really wasn't a bad film - but everybody still wanted to slam Costner for Waterworld, so it got unfairly blasted. It's like a guy who reaches over to pinch a woman's ass, and then she turns around and slaps the guy directly behind her who didn't even see it happen. Wrong place, wrong time.
I would rank Solo above all post-80s movies except Rogue One. [Reply]
I think Disney has done a mostly exceptional job with the odious exceptions of hiring JJ Abrams and Daisy Ridley
Those two GIANT gaffes ruined the ST, but you can't say they haven't learned from their mistakes, UNLIKE the idiots who keep dicking around with Star Trek.
I have high hopes for the Ashoka and Andor series. [Reply]

From what I've read The High Republic will include Tyvokka Wookie Jedi Master [Reply]

With all the additions to the story since 1977 (particularly Kenobi dispatching Maul like he was cutting through a paper bag), I think it's fair to assume that he probably could have defeated Vader, but instead deliberately sacrificed himself to create enough of a distraction to allow Luke and Leia to escape.
Wait. Didn't Obi-Wan turn his saber and off and just take the hit?
* I just found the fight on Youtube. He very obviously sacrificed himself. Also, Leia's jiggly titties:

Still amazes me that's a fanmade duel. Insanely high quality. [Reply]
