I'll say it again, Jango Fett has never appeared in a Star Wars movie that exists.


you're still wrong.

Attack of the Clones was great.

I think the biggest problem with Solo was that they broke their timing - for some reason they released it in May instead of following their Christmas release schedule, it came 6 months after The Last Jedi and left us with 18 months until Rise Of Skywalker. I don't understand why they did that. Solo itself was actually a really fun movie.

I loved Solo. A lot more than Rogue One. Both were heist movies, but Solo was much more fun and light-hearted.

As for the scheduling, I think I remember it was because of Mary Poppins. So maybe the problem for Disney isn't fatigue in any one franchise, it's just that they have way too many franchises to support?

I stand corrected.

I agree

Possibly, but I still think it was a big misstep. Star Wars is way more important than Mary Poppins as a franchise, and frankly the audience crossover between the two probably isn't so huge as to worry about hurting box office too much.

I 100% agree with you, and I think Disney is crazy if they stop making Star Wars movies. I don't make the news, I just report what someone else reported first.

BTW: Mark Hammil said the other day that he thinks SW fatigue is real. Again, I disagree, but it's interesting.

Now I know there is no reason to see this movie and it was in fact terrible, Thanks

I just had a thought. What if the answer to your question is just "yes"?

Snoke was discarded by Johnson, but maybe Abrams' plan all along was that Snoke was Palpatine reincarnated.


Yeah, could be. 

I'm thinking those were Death Star 2.0's ruins on Endor, and they're going to encounter Ghost Palpatine while exploring it. 

A return to Endor probably means Ewoks.  They might be CGI-woks now though.

Yeesh.

More yeesh.

Don't get me wrong, I actually really liked Solo. But Rogue One had to take a story in which we already knew what happened and what the ending was going to be, and made it interesting. Not just interesting, they made an absolutely fantastic Star Wars movie.

Clone Wars isn’t a great movie but it’s certainly not the worst of the series. I would say the fact Jengo Fett was the Stormtrooper prototype means he was in one of their movies and served a pretty significant role in the series kinda cements his place whether or not you think that’s a good movie or not.

Rogue One was phenomenal imo.


Attack of the Clones was great.


As far as Attack of the Clones, fellas, MBG is clearly trolling and winding us up.
It's a scientific fact that that movie fell out of a dog's poopchute.

I didn't really like Rogue One. Part of that is because I think Felicity Jones has all the acting talent of a doorstop. The droid was cool though. Inigo Montoya was good too.

Attack of the Clones was an abhorrent travesty. It was not, and never will be, a Star Wars movie. George Lucas is lucky he wasn't brought to the Hauge to stand trial for crimes against humanity.
