Maybe no ysalamiri. They were actually pretty smart about it. Carrying around hundreds of books of canon can be a major albatross. If they’d kept it all then Chewbacca is dead cause a moon fell on him. So they shunted everything over to the Legends. And then they’re going through and picking cool bits out and getting them back to canon. That’s been part of the fun of watching the TV shows, that’s been their primary tool for re-canoning.

It wasn’t just the directing. Who the BLANK wrote this crappy script???

Space horses charging across a Star Destroyer? Tilt 60 degrees or so.

Rey dies but doesn’t fade, Ben Solo fades and disappears after dying? I mean, it wasn’t like he had a hole skewered through him as before.

No one got the girl? Poe has the girl give her life savings up for him (her get out of Empire jail free disk) and he later gets the brush off—no victory, er, love? Is this some kind of modern day lesbian feminism? No room for male heroes?

The over use of Princess Leia years after Carrie Fisher’s death? I’m sorry, but she looks like a stiff Hillary...

Also, if Luke can grab light sabers out of the fire, why can’t he (and the other ghost Jedi) help kill Palpatine?

Like I said, awful writing. Just garbage.

You can thank Kathleen Kennedy for wreaking Star Wars. She needed ti to be woke as humanly possible with a black stormtrooper (why?) and a female who can prove she ican be butch like any man. It was crap thanks to Kennedy. She is also an executive producer on Mandalorian, so its a matter of time before baby Yoda is aborted somehow, and Mando comes out as a gay tranvestite, because it is the way. It is the only way....heeeey!

LOL!!!! So true. They already seemed to hint that the Tusken Raiders are sort of victim class :-). Maybe Mando will make a career out of giving the beatdown to people that call Tusken Raiders “Sand People” :-).

Mandalorian is excellent in all the ways that count. I’ve enjoyed the ride so far.

I will try this, but the Lone Ranger was OUT of his mask 90% of the time. Almost any superhero is.

Look at the most recent Avengers movies. They did everything they could to get them “in uniform” but without their masks.

They have opened the possibility up. It turns out that the "never take your helmet off" is NOT the way, it is only a small cult of Mandalorians (in which Din was raised)that follow the edict.

Now that Bo-Katan, the Man'Dalor (leader of all Mandalorians) has been introduced sans helmet the door is open for Mando to eventually accept the practice.

Plus, Pedro Pascal, has actually been fairly vocal that he wants to be able to remove the helmet.

From what I’ve been reading, Kathleen Kennedy has been pushed back into the woodwork and Favreau and Filoni have major creative control over the Star Wars franchise now. Even Lucas is getting involved again as he was on set during the filming of the last “The Jedi” episode. As long as they don’t allow George to write or direct, this is a good move.
