I liked Attack of the Clones best, then Revenge of the Sith, then Phantom Menace. And why is Yoda always grumpy? And it's very wierd hearing Darth Vader say "Is she safe?" and "Noooooooooo". Did you notice they always have to have someone watching the sunset on Tatooine? First it was Luke, then Rey, and now his aunt and uncle?"
And there you have it.
Surprised that someone other than me likes Attack of the Clones best, among that trilogy. Really, first time hearing it. My order is also the same. Attack of the Clones can best be enjoyed in an IMAX theater. Incredibly thrilling experience, really.Quote:

I do hope they get their act together. I would love to see some good starwars, whether future stuff, or Old Republic stuff.
No, I liked it too. And the sequels in general, especially The Last Jedi. I'm sure these characters will be back in some way.Quote:

The Last Skywalker was a mess. JJ did what he could but Disney's lack of a plan/vision just tanked the entire Sequel trilogy. I tried rewatching it a few weeks ago and didn't even make it past 20 minutes.
It's mind boggling considering the amount of time Disney - freaking Disney - had to get it right.
I have a feeling TLJ messed up JJ's plan, if he had one. Disney should have had one "show runner" for the trilogy to keep everything in place.Quote:

to send me the order in which I should watch the shows. The Clone Wars was first on the list. But the first few seasons had some episodes that were out of order so Mae sent me a sheet with the correct order. You
can also find it yourself by just searching for "the correct order to watch the clone wars", or something like that.
Well, I just finished up The Clone Wars. Now, I have watched anime before like Bleach, Attack on Titan and Swordart Online. Plus Avatar: The Last Air Bender, so I don't mind watching animated shows. It's just that
I did not know that there were animated SW shows and I figured the movies would be good enough. Boy was I wrong. The Clone Wars was an excelent show. It gave so much background that the movies did not
cover. It opened up the SW world so much It has charcters we know and expands on them. Plus it added new characters that were fantanstic. It may start off looking like it's going to be a simple kids show, but as it went on, it really changed. There was so
much going on and so much more explained.
TBH, I liked this series more than I liked some of the movies. It was that good. I highly recomend that if you have not watched any of the animated shows, and have only watched The Madalorion,
that you take the time to watch the animated series. It's a lot of episodes, but the ending is worth the ride. I was blown away by that. Now I am on to the Rebel Shorts and Rebles. I heard
that these are great also.
This is the order I was told by Mae to follow
The Clone Wars: seasons 1-6, including the movie
The Clone Wars: season 7 (final season)
Rebels Shorts
Rebels (all seasons)
The Madelorian
The Bad Batch
So that's my plan. The shows are really good and I hope the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is good. I am still hoping that we get theater releases as well,
but so far I like what I see. Looking forward to seeing what's next.
There’s not much news of substance here. The Kennedy quote was pretty vague, and I suspect she was alluding to further adventures of the characters in extended universe material, not in canon films or series. I expect we will see the sequel characters in novels, video games, graphic novels, etc. Because that’s what happens in Star Wars.Quote:

Completely agree, Mike that The Clone Wars is excellent. I couldn't make it through Rebels as it was just too kiddie for my taste. I may go back and watch just a few key episodes of it however.
I think SW should stay away from the theater and just focus on making superb streaming/tv content like The Madelorian. The canon novels that I've read were excellent also and open up the universe a ton.
I hope you finish Rebels, Brian! Just like Clone Wars, it starts off kiddie but by the end there's been lots of drama and character development, and for future Star Wars live action series, plotlines and characters from Rebels will be very important (and have already been).Quote:

I did manage to get through the 1st season of Rebels but it was short. The thought of revisiting it is painful though lol. I could give it another go I suppose.Quote:

There is also a ton of info in the canon comics as well. Between that and the novels, there is a lot that could be played out on the small screen for decades to come. They could even do this through animated series if pointed towards the correct age group.
Yes comics is one area that I haven’t really explored much at all. I know there are big things happening, and one of my favorite new characters is so far restricted pretty much only to comics, Doctor Aphra, although I can see her appearing in the Kenobi series maybe.
