    Kenobi. It is set during the early days of Kenobi’s self-exile on Tatooine. McGregor is returning to the role..

      Hopefully the director can get some better acting out of him than Lucas managed. To me, the wooden performances of folks you know can really act in the Episodes 1-3 movies convinced me that George Lucas shouldn't be allowed to work with people, and would be better off kept in the special effects department.

      I was only joking

        I got off the Star Wars train some years back. Nothing against it, they've been pretty consistently okay. But c'mon, man, just let the franchise die already.

        Cowboy Bebop. Inception. Samurai Champloo. Interstellar. Firefly. Calvin & Hobbes. These things are awesome specifically because they were allowed to end. Star Wars, one of the most original and epic sci-fi narratives of all time, is going to get boring and die of old age and obscurity, because the Rat got lazy.

        Please love yourself.

              Nope.

              I remember going to a theater in, what, 1977, and watching the movie when it first came out. Watching the Star Destroyer cruise over my head, with the room-shattering sound, was a completely new thing for me.

              Was the story weak? Yeah, probably.

              But the whole presentation was unique in its day. It left an indelible impression on me (and I was 27 at the time). It was groundbreaking. Nothing at that time, nothing, came close to spectacle, other than 1968's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

              I've always been a sci-fi freak, but you knew that, of course.

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                Yes, of course, it was terrific, it was wonderful

                There aren't enough superlatives

                And 2001

                2001 remains the benchmark

                It is the best

                  Remember that seeing Star Wars multiple times in the theatre was a big thing?

                  I remember a kid interviewed on the local news who had seen it 17 times. Nowadays you’d empty your college fund doing that.

                  I saw it twice in the theaters. And that was a huge concession from my folks, who thought that was a waste of money (I was 9 maybe).

                  Anyone else see it multiple times? I mean during its first run in the theaters.

                      Get thee over to Disney+ and watch the Phineas and Ferb Star Wars. There is no need for anymore Star Wars movie or TV series after that one.

                        Actually, I have to say that the very best Star Wars movie was Rogue One. Nothing will ever top the sheer impact of the original movie and the shock of Empire Strikes Back, but Togue One was probably the best all around film.

                            I went to see Star Wars in 1977, aged 14. Basically, I was the perfect age.

                            I thought it was OK. It seemed like back then every year there was a record breaking movie we had to see. A couple of years back it was Jaws. Later it was Close Encounters. Star Wars was just another one.

                            This was before all the real hype kicked in.

                            Personally, I think it's quite appropriate that the franchise will most likely die with Disney.
