    Honestly I really don't think Palpatine is really back. There's some extended universe stuff that I think they're going to use here to bring him back without bringing him back. I don't really want to say as if I'm correct it could be a spoiler.

    Are you referring to the Dark Empire story?

    No I'm referring to the new cannon stuff. For anyone that's interested, this is what I'm referring to.

    I'm afraid the Emperor will be quite operational when the final movie arrives.

    ‘Star Wars’ Setback: ‘Game Of Thrones’ Duo David Benioff & D.B. Weiss Exit Trilogy


    EXCLUSIVE: David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the duo who in 2011 launched the singular screen sensation known as Game of Thrones, have walked away from their much-publicized deal with Disney’s Lucasfilm to launch a feature film trilogy in 2022.

    Benioff and Weiss were supposed to usher in the post-Skywalker era of the Star Wars brand with a 2022 new-start story that would stake out a new frontier for the era-defining cinema brand created by George Lucas. The Emmy-winning pair cited their historic deal with Netflix. They said their enthusiasm for Star Wars remains boundless but, regrettably, their schedule is full up.

    And it seems as though Rian Johnson may not be doing his trilogy either. The future of Star Wars is as miserable as its present and its recent past. Ouch.

    Just watched the first Ep. A solid and promising start. Obviously more limited in budget than a feature length film, but they did a fine job making it feel cinematic. More light hearted than I expected, which is a good thing. A couple of eyerolling moments, but I was sold enough on the rest that I forgave them.

    Could I ask what eye rolls you gave? I know some would say The self destruct part I found it to be so 80’s but for me it was super charming. Lol

    Mainly nitpicks in the initial few scenes:
    Spoiler:

    - when the landspeeder with the droid pulled up, and it looked similar to Luke’s. There’s no reason a landspeeder designed for desert conditions would be used on an ice planet. I understand they did it because it looks “starwarsy”, but still, it pulled me out of the scene immediately.
    - freezing his bounties in carbonite. Please. Freezing Han in carbonite was a spur of the moment thing on Bespin - and it was Vader’s idea. It wasn’t something bounty hunters usually did. In fact, it was considered risky and dangerous - Lando wasn’t sure Han would even survive the process. So the idea a bounty hunter would later use carbon freezing is just silly - done purely for fan service without any in universe justification.


    Like I said, nitpicks, but they pulled me out of the show immediately. Suspension of disbelief vanished. However, I will say that the show pulled me back in pretty quickly. Generally I think it was a very strong and promising start.

    (The self destruct bit I found genuinely funny. The whole last half of the Ep was engaging, entertaining and fun.)
