Hot take: Solo was a decent movie that suffered because of TLJ backlash.
Agreed. It’s fun.
Hot take within a hot take: Donald Glover was awesome as Lando.

Ok now I think you’re just ignoring the prequels.
Pretty much. Andor. OT. Thrawn Trilogy. Maybe some Ewok Adventures. That’s my Star Wars.
The rest is just sometimes good/mostly bad fan fiction.

if I did a Mt Rushmore of Star Wars, it’s Anakin/Vader, Han, Palpatine, and Obi Wan. Luke doesn’t make it
Well that’s just silly. Despite George Lucas’ lies and revisionist history, Star Wars is Luke Skywalker’s journey. Not Vader’s.
Obi-Wan is cool. I prefer characters with conflict and growth though. Luke, Han, Vader all have a set arc they travel through, be it boy to man, scoundrel to hero, or evil to good. Obi-Wan has no such arc. He’s just always the wise Jedi.
I know Sheev doesn’t change either, but he’s just so fun and silly. The only thing from the sequels I accept as cannon is that he was getting down making babies. Probably all over the galaxy. No way does someone embrace the dark side and not have a harem.

I just finished a rewatch of Andor last week. (1 or 2 episodes a night after the wife fell asleep)
Hot take: Cassian Andor is a top 5 Star Wars character behind only Luke, Han, Vader, and Sheev.
Less Hot take: Andor is the best Star Wars since the OT.
It’s everything I want my Star Wars to be. Real people. Real action dynamics. (Stormtroopers are dangerous. A nerdy accountant beat the brakes of the main action hero. No superhero bullshite)
Rogue One was ok. Not bad. Not great. Kinda boring in spots, and I’m still torn about the flaw being a purposeful, man-made design. Still, I love the dirty, WW1 & 2 and British vibe of early Star Wars. It had that in spades. Mustaches galore.
I’ll definitely watch this cut.

RS is a fricking farce and always has been.
False. Rolling Stone was a great read for many years.
Just because Jann Wenner became what he became later in life, it does not mean that the magazine wasn't an important cultural touchstone.
If anyone here can say that the magazine that gave Hunter S. Thompson, Matt Taibbi, and the greatest political writer of the last 50 years, P.J. O'Rourke, their microphones, then I don't even know how to respond. Other than, you are dumb.

My suggestion if anyone involved is seeing this- the World Between Worlds, have Luke, Ahsoka, or someone go in, see that timeline, and alter it so it doesn't happen.
I understand what you are saying and if it's the only option, I'll take it.
But honestly, all that marvel style super-power shite just ruins things. I'd be cool with an announcement from an executive that those movies don't count anymore and then a collective memory erase. Kinda like how covid seems like a different life where we all agree we went a little crazy and made some weird choices, but we're all better now. Let's just do that with Star Wars.

Here’s some deep dig into Vincent’s bathroom habits I heard on a podcast one time:
Heroin makes you constipated. That’s why Vincent is always in the bathroom. Thus, he died because of his addiction. But not of an overdose.

I’m gonna go see it. I won’t lie. I’ve never NOT seen a Star War on opening night. I don’t expect to be miserable the way I was from the opening scene of The Last Jedi. (Your mom… ugh)
But it looks like a generic Marvel movie with extra baby groot.
I’m content to have Andor be the peak of Star Wars. I don’t see how they could ever surpass or even meet that level again, even if they put out a competent product.
I went my first 40 years loving 3 2-hour movies. Surely I can coast on the next 40 off of 24 1-hour long episodes.

That looks terrible.
It doesn't help that I've grown to hate Pedro Pascal. We'll look back in one day and wonder why studios decided to make him the face of EVERYTHING EVER THAT EVER CAME OUT...
He couldn't even bother to read his lines like he's in an action sequence.
But golly, that little Blinkus creature sure is adorable. What kind of hijinks will he get into next?

American Primeval was badass. It’s about the Mormons pretending to be injuns and the almost war with the American military. 3 or 4 part ministries on Netflix from just the last year or so. Super violent and a true story.
I’d say The Hatfields & The McCoys too. Sort of a western.
Both great.

I hope. I loved part 1. Say what you will about Kevin Costner, (Actually don’t. He’s a goddamn American treasure) the man can make a good western.
Oof. What a disappointment…
