When the sequel trilogy is declared non-canon then it is saved.

“The way, it is.”

Yoda.

Or maybe Walter Cronkite.

Ehhhh.... no. Definitely the best of Disney Wars but I wouldn’t put it above the prequels... yet. (Although I think Filoni’s other work, Clone Wars, is)

If a frog had side pockets, he’d carry a handgun.

This reviewer gets far more views then the cast of Star Trek did in a recent promotion. No one watches Star Trek: STD
The ratings are 0.2 on CBS.

i dunno...
I loved the first 2 1/2 SW movies the rest sucked.
The 2 stand alone movies were pretty good.

Truth is i am sick of the Star Wars universe and could care less about it nowadays.

Looking forward to the new Captain Pike series....hopefully will be much better than Discovery and Picard.
Hoping the producers are smart enough not to screw up that potential cash cow like the other two..

I tried to watch Star Trek Discovery. The only episodes we watched as a family for entertainment value were the Mirror Universe episodes. It still got stupid weird with the pinky swear with a ghost in the space spore network to get home.
