This would be the perfect jumping off point for a streaming series - less pew-pew, more politics.  It would really give them room to explore a post-Empire galaxy because there's a big difference between winning a rebellion and constructing a lasting peace. 

Isn’t that exactly what the Mandalorian Universe is doing?

Was super excited about the EP 1 anniversary news but was immediately saddened by lots and lots of people trashing it across various platforms :'(. I know it's a terrible movie but I've always found it the fun kind of terrible. Also Attack of the Clones is worse, fight me.

Attack of the Clones is definitely worse. Phantom Menace at least has Dual of the Fates and podracing to make up for all the cringingly bad parts.

AOTC. Obi-Wan dives out of a window a hundred floors up. Padme in the black leather number. The arena and first battle of the Clone Wars. It's not all bad.

I'll believe it when I actually see it in the cinema, but at this point I'm interested.

I agree at this point they'd be better of just announcing new Star Wars movies the actual day there being released in the theaters.

I think that's going a little too far, but I'm not entirely opposed.

Just got back from TFA live in concert. Still as fun as ever. I remember 2015. At the time, I thought it was a pretty subpar year. In hindsight, it was pretty good. A job where I felt both useful and valued, several people were alive who now aren't, and so on. There was Fury Road in May, and TFA in December/January. I even picked my work days so I'd be free to see movies on release days. :)

2018 was ANH, ESB in 2019, ROTJ in 2022, now TFA. Given how the conductor ran down the prequels, "We don't talk about those ones," I'm guessing she didn't want to do them. Admittedly I'm not a fan either, but I know that lots of people are.

Anyway, it was a good time. A couple of jokes I'd forgotten, lots I remembered but still laughed at, some dialogue I'd never noticed until watching with captions, and some music that had previously been in the background. I even found myself remembering what was in the trailer vs what was in the movie. Yes to this, no to that.

If you ever have the chance to go see one of these live in concert showings, for a movie you like at least, then you should take it. I hope they do TLJ next year.
