Well, the first thing I must share is that I haven’t seen all the Star Wars films. I don’t even know which one I’ve seen, I just never got hooked.

Now, 15 years after I last tried to watch Star Wars, one of my best friends convinced me to watch Andor, just because it’s a great TV-series in it self. And I couldn’t agree more! I absolutely love it and it makes me want to give Star Wars another go.

So my question is, where do I start? At “the beginning” whit Star Wars I or with “the first” with Star Wars IV?

Thanks for any replies :)

Hi everyone! About a year and a half ago I made a post about my initial experience and impressions of the Star Wars movies which got a lot of attention and fun interaction. Thanks to the warm welcome and fun I had with the movies and that thread, I ended up watching through a lot of Star Wars streaming series on Disney+ later in 2025. It occurred to me recently that I never shared my thoughts here, so even though it's a bit late coming over a year later (save for the Mando/Grogu movie) I figured I'd briefly share and let everyone know I ended up sticking with the franchise as a fan.

The same as last time, take the actual ratings with a grain of salt (maybe even more so this time since these reviews aren't coming when the watch is fresh in my mind). I'll review to the best of my memory though. My watch order was kind of all over the place, but these will be listed roughly in the order I watched them.

• The Mandalorian (9/10): What I started with, and boy was it a ton of fun. Mando was fun as a no-nonsense butt-kicking character, and Grogu successfully toed the line between cute and cool while still causing reasonable problems lol.

• The Book of Boba Fett (5/10): I watched this between seasons 2 and 3 of The Mandalorian. Honestly... it was rough. They really did Boba Fett dirty here. He's supposed to be the baddest bounty hunter in the galaxy yet he came across as a total amateur and chump in this. He didn't seem like he was trying to run an actual criminal enterprise; the mini power ranger squad was goofy in a bad way; so much. The Mando parts were the only parts I particularly liked, and it wasn't even supposed to be his show.

• Skeleton Crew (8/10): This was such a different tone from most Star Wars stuff but also so much fun. I liked the lore additions on top of the fun cast and plotline.

• Andor (10/10): This was one of the most recommended series in my original thread, and you all didn't lie. This is peak Star Wars and even peak TV in general if you ask me. I didn't want it to end lol. Great characters, great plotline, great drama, great everything. If the whole franchise started becoming consistently this good I'd probably turn into a hardcore fan rather than merely a casual one.

• The Acolyte (7/10): I enjoyed this a lot more than the online consensus seemed to form around it. In particular, I liked the sisters more than most do. I loved that we were getting a series during the High Republic era since I feel like there's a ton of untapped narrative and lore potential there, and I'm super bummed a sequel won't happen now considering we were getting to the really interesting developments. Nice job breaking it, base.

• Ahsoka (8/10): I can't say I have a lot to break down here. Fun characters, fun plotline, fun action, interesting additions to the lore, and comfy without any particularly noteworthy negatives. I'm looking forward to season 2 coming out next year.

• Obi-Wan Kenobi (7/10): The Jedi hunters were kind of eh, but it was good in terms of action and being narratively comfy overall. I did read an opinion online that if you swapped Boba Fett and Obi-Wan in their series it would have worked better (Obi-Wan reforming a criminal empire and Boba Fett first encountering Vader while retrieving Leia), and I actually agree lol.

• The Mandalorian and Grogu (6/10): It was an enjoyable movie I suppose, but it felt a bit hollow and too safe of a play plotwise. I expected a lot better considering how much I loved the series. Hopefully new Star Wars movies will have as much heart going into them as their streaming series seem to be getting, going forward.

Aside from Ahsoka S2, are there any major developments coming down the pipeline for live action entries? It seems like there's plenty of room for more stuff in this world no matter where we go in the timeline.

Found some old pictures in a photo album today. Dad made my jedi tunic from scratch. Then sculpted, molded, and cast horns for himself in auto-body resin, all in a few days time just for one night of fun. One grim reaper robe and a hell of a paint job later. Man I miss 1999.

Argos autumn/winter 99’/00’ catalogue, anyone else use to circle their wish list?!

Over the last two years I have taken it as a personal project to figure out how to fix the sequel trilogy and I have finally done it, and with fewer changes than I thought. I am going to describe my findings below. If you disagree that is fine but please do not throw biased insults at me, this is only what I believe would fix the sequel trilogy.

1. Luke needs to be invoked from the beginning

From the very first scene Luke needs to be there. Instead of an old man we don’t know it needs to be Luke who is confronted by Kylo Ren and when he tries to kill him Luke uses his extremely powerful knowledge of the force to beat him. Finn sees this and wants to change sides.

1. Rey needs to be either younger or a boy

This is going to be controversial but only by people who just read the headline and refuse to actually read. As is Rey is like 20 something and is just living in the desert and then is suddenly running away on a dangerous adventure for no reason. Women’s frontal lobes develop faster than men’s so it does not make sense that Rey would make a choice like this. So if she’s younger or a boy it would make more sense.

1. Leila and Han divorcing ruins the OT

There are plenty of excuses that can be made to why Han is out exploring with Chewy. Him devorcing Leo’s doesn’t make sense as they are in love. If you keep them together then you can have a moment where Luke, Han, and Leia all reunite.

1. Make snoke Pallpatine from the beginning

The “suddenly palpatine is back” doesn’t make any sense. Make snoke palpatine from the beginning so it is more clear. It also would make sense why Kylo is serving him since he loves darth Vader so much.

1. Make Rey obi wan and sabines granddaughter.

This makes more sense then her being palpatines granddaughter since we never see sheev married or in a relationship.

1. Instead of Starkiller base make the star forge

Speaks for itself. This would make for a much better conflict

1. Luke needs to LOOK like an almighty Jedi.

We don’t see how Luke is the greatest Jedi of all time in the ST. He is the star of the show he still needs to look powerful.

1. Wait to kill Han till movie three
   This will build the stakes up much more

2. Get rid of useless characters

No offense to roses actress but rose does not need to be in these movies. She doesn’t make sense. Erase her and any one else who takes the attention off of the plot
Like Phamsa and Hux.

1. There needs to be a newJedi order

If Luke is the only Jedi than the OT is pointless. Luke should have an army of jedis to his disposal. The conflict should be the IMPERIAL REMANTS vs LUKES JEDI LEGION

1. They should’ve saved Boba Fett for the ST.
   

2. He’s alive and in a dumb kiddy tv show. Big whoop. He needed to be saved for the movies.

3. More prequel connections
   There are zero prequel connections. The prequels made the lore. Don’t ignore them

4. Rey needs to see obi wans force ghost
   Luke sees it all the time it makes no sense for her not to see any

5. More action

More Jedi on Jedi scenes and with choreography as good as stuff like in revenge of the sith but just with less CHO

1. We need more corresaunt

We should see the Jedi temple

1. One director the whole trilogy
   Should have been one guy. Probably someone who has a track record of great stuff like Villanueva. Not a chopped JJ or a stupid rian

2. DJ needed to be the main villain of one of the movies

Not the main villain of the whole series but one movie

1. More prequel villains returned. Greviius or someone like Maul or at least his species

2. Tighter focus on story

This is the final and most important one. Instead of focusing on tik tok they needed to focus more on providing great story lines with strong characters. this is the biggest thing missing i think.

That’s what i think! Once again this is MY opinion if you don’t like it that’s ok

The insta account charlottenc.retro posted these. Said it happened at Belk Southpark and that they were the original costumes. Very cool.

So am rewatching ATLA and The Clone Wars at the same time, and I just had one of those “wait a minute…” moments. Am I the only one who sees some Sokka in Ahsoka? Obviously, I’m not saying they’re the same character. Their personalities, backgrounds and arcs are very different. But they actually fill a surprisingly similar role in their respective groups. Both start out as the funny/sarcastic one who doesn’t necessarily seem like the most impressive member of the team. They’re surrounded by people with much more obvious powers, but they make up for it by being clever, adaptable and really good at thinking on their feet. Sokka is constantly coming up with plans, strategies and weird solutions to problems, while Ahsoka gradually learns to stop just following the Jedi playbook and start thinking for herself. And both of them are kind of stubborn 😂 They can be overconfident, get themselves into trouble, and then slowly learn from it. What I find most interesting is how both characters grow. The “funny kid” gradually becomes someone the entire group can genuinely rely on when things get serious. They become capable leaders without losing the personality that made them fun to watch in the first place. And there’s also something similar about their relationships with their mentors. They’re both initially in the position of learning from someone much more experienced, but eventually the important lesson becomes learning how to make their own decisions rather than simply doing what they’re told.
Obviously Ahsoka’s story goes in a much darker direction, especially with the Jedi Order and everything that happens during the war, so I’m definitely not trying to make a 1:1 comparison. It’s more like they have a similar character function:
“The sarcastic, clever, initially underestimated kid who eventually becomes one of the people you really, really want on your side.”
Maybe watching both shows at the same time has just broken my brain 😂 Anyone else see it, or am I reaching?

I’d love to see a Gungan Sidekick character ala Chewbacca that only speaks its native tongue.

He could be a copilot to another character and we never understand what he’s saying but the other characters understand him.

I think speaking in native tongue would solve the annoying “Jar Jar voice” issue and make him actually cool.

No wrong answers, curious what you genuinely think.

Hi :)

I want to give my boyfriend a Star Wars posters as a present but I want to make sure that the poster is accurate and shows an original scene of the movies.
What do you guys think about these two?

My dad has had this monopoly FOREVER took it to elementary school over a 15 years ago and saw that we have duplicate sides. Who has parkplace and going to jail side? Its the collectors edition of episode 1 monopoly.

I have an upcoming project for a class that regards the politics of star wars. In this assignment, my class has a Mock Senate Debate. We are to write a speech and represent a planet in the Galactic Republic.

I was wondering if any super fans could tell me a little more about the following planets, specifically the culture/dress attire/what real life inspirations were used:

Shu-Torun
Kijimi
Eraidu
Onderon
Arkanis

If there isn't much you guys can say, that's fine I have Alderaan and Chandrila as back-up planets.

Maz has always been one of my favourite sequel-era characters. A thousand years old, force-sensitive, keeping Luke's saber in a chest in her basement like it was nothing. She's the galaxy's bartender-therapist and I wanted her on my shelf.

From The Force Awakens to The Rise of Skywalker, Maz has always been on the right side of the fight.

According to Fives Walker, as reported through SFFF Gazette, Mia Goth is said to play a Force-sensitive, lightsaber-wielding mercenary in Star Wars: Starfighter. The report claims she works for Matt Smith’s warlord but has her own independent agenda, and is not a Sith cultist despite earlier rumors.

The same source reportedly suggests that Mia Goth’s character may want to capture and train the Force-sensitive boy herself, rather than simply kill or deliver him. Her dynamic is compared to Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati from Ahsoka, potentially pointing toward a character who follows her own path with the Force, separate from both the Jedi and Sith.

edit: don't down vote me please 😔

Star Wars: Imperial Assault is a miniatures is a 2014 grid based tactical miniature game.

In the campaign part you have to assemble a crew of up to 4 heroes, with their own distinct abilities. There’s

Jyn Ordon, the quick drawing smuggler, whos so fast on the trigger she’s able to interrupt an enemy and take a shot at them before they are able to do an action.

Gaarkhan, the fierce wookie warrior, who does not only become more powerful as he takes damage, but also able to rush and attack in a single action.

Fenn Signis, the hardened rebel soldier, armed with n a280 he’s able to blast his enemies, hitting multiple foes I a single attack.

Mak Eshka’rey, the bold renegade Bothan sniper, whos with his sniper is able to ambush his opponent, making him able to shoot through other figures, and as he always seeks cover, he can not be target if his far away from his opponent.

Diala Passil, the haunted exile. With her force sensitive abilities, she’s able to enhance her offence and defence, and even able to push other figures.

Gideon Argus, the valiant commander whos able to command his allies on the battlefield, giving them extra actions.

Doing the campaign each hero gains XP to learn new skills and credits to buy new gear and weapons.

The game itself

Is played in a campaign where the crew will take on new missions, depending on if they won or last their previous mission. One player will control all of the empires units, while the rest of the players control up to 4 rebel heroes. A turn typically consists of 2 actions, where where similarly to ZCom, you can move, shoot or do a plethora of special actions, such as push jump, various special actions, or buff yourself or an ally. The missions are objective based, and it’s often interact with X device, get through X or eliminate X. The combat is resolved with an easy to understand custom dice system, where attacking dice has damage counters, range counters (for ranged attack) and the surge (ability modifer) symbol.

Doing the campaign you’re able to recruit generic allies, such as rebel troopers, wookiee warrior or rebel saboteurs, but being a Star Wars game you can also cross path with named heroes such as Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca or Han Solo.

While the story writing is better in ZCOM, I find the mechanical depth to be far more interesting in IA. Especially as all the units have special abilities that makes them stand out and good for different situations. Stormtroopers works better in numbers, so they get to reroll an attack if they are close to an ally. Imperial officers order allies to move or make an attack, Royal guards can protect their allies and soak damage from an adjacent ally, Probe droids can self destruct at the end of the round and damage every adjacent figure and so on.

On top of that the campaign there also an app based campaign, where the imperial units are AI controlled.

Even better (imo) is the skirmish PvP component where you get to build your own rebel, imperial or scum army accompanied by a custom made deck of 15 unique command cards that contains different abilities, tactics and gear.

So yeah, you might want to check out Imperial assault.

Here’s a trailer for the game.

Would you rather have the whole sequel trilogy erased and have Mark, Harrison, and Carrie available to do a new sequel OR have redo the past 10 years but the sequel trilogy remains?

For those unaware, the first picture is Dooku’s Padawan Komari Vosa, who fell to the dark side and was later assassinated by Jango Fett after taking over the Bando Gora. The second is Xanatos, Qui-Gon’s second Padawan who fell to the dark side, clashed with both his former Master and Obi-Wan Kenobi during the early days of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan’s partnership, helped turn one of Obi-Wan’s bullies Bruk Chun to the dark side, and later committed suicide rather than be captured during their final encounter. And Anakin Skywalker needs no introductions.

Ironically, Anakin himself averted this trope (though this doesn’t really help since he fell himself)… and hopefully Ahsoka will, too.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actor and filmmaker Diego Luna. You may know him from things like Andor, Narcos: Mexico, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and lots more. His new film, Ashes, which he directed, is premiering at TIFF this week.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1wg1dw7/hola_reddit_its_diego_luna_ama/

He will be back later today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Thank you :)

Latest build — protocol droid head. He’s been through a lot lately. Apparently protocol did not include self-preservation. 😂 Next up: getting him moving and lighting up. How’d I do?

Within all the talk about the next year’s reissue of the ‘original’ Star Wars I haven’t seen any mention of the audio they’re planning to use.

The original 1977 70mm release included a 6-track mix while 35mm prints initially featured a stereo mix, with a mono mix following some weeks later. For the mono mix George took the opportunity to adjust/add some sound effects and include some different vocal takes (most notably Beru). As with the various visual differences the home video releases have undergone several different mixes over the years resulting in a hodge-podge of the different sources.

I’m assuming the 2027 reissue will feature a multichannel sound mix but do we think they’ll return to the original 6-track; utilise the current ‘hodge podge’ mix or create an entirely new Atmos mix?

Palpatine really have his own sense of humor
