I’m OK adding Andor and Rogue One to canon
I will never forgive Disney for what they did to Dark Forces.
Rogue one is definitely Disney throwing the Dark Forces canon out. I’m sad to see Kyle Katarn get erased
And the Mandalorian.
Basically, the Filoniverse and Andor is canon. Everything else needs to wait in line.
Mandalorian had a good first two seasons but then it went downhill.
Yeah I have a tough time with the Mandalorian.
I think the bare plot from the prequels should be included though. Leave out the script and acting and just have the major plot points.
If Thrawn is canon, Mara Jade is canon. I don’t make the rules. ╭∩╮（︶︿︶）╭∩╮
If Mara is canon, the ysalamiri are canon
truuuu
I mean what exactly is wrong with the prequels? The general overarching story about the fall of rhe republic is great.

Each day we stray further from God
They took the baddest bad guy of badguyness (Vader) and turned him into a whinny emo kid.
For actual points of “that’s fucking stupid”… take a look at this map. This is canonical… I’ve marked the locations of Coruscant (above galactic center,), Naboo an tatooine in red.
I’ve marked more than a few locations in which they could have gone instead of Tat that would:
- had what they needed,
- were significantly safer than tat,
- would have been able to use (or at least change out) republic credits.
but, no. Tatooine. which was a remote, useless dustball that only had it’s remoteness as a positive aspect (and that only to criminal elements.)
of the places I marke, Eriadu makes the some sense. It’s large enough and important enough to have what they’d need- and being on a busy trade up makes it more likely that nobody would care or notice their presence.
On the way to Eriadu, however, you also have Sarrassia an Sollust, both of which are heavily built up word’s in the republic, and therefor make some sense too.
Christophsis is another world that is a major republic world an was quite built up. You’ll find that they probably passed through on their way to Tatooine.
if you’re thinking, ‘hey, but the trad federation is everywhere!’, its rather unlikely that any of those three planets have an active blockade looking for them, and even less unlikely they’ll take an active effort in that conflict. If you find that unconvincing, fair enough, lets got to Pantora. Republic world with reasonable people on it. rather in the middle of no where, off the beaten path an fairly technological. They would at least have been able to get passage to Coruscant, even if they had to leave the shiny thing behind.
Which, they probably could have just jumped a passenger liner off Tat, too. details, amirite? Or they could have sent a coded concealed message to the order. gotten a jedi ship out there. all that.
That is the level of detail being made in the stories. Their hyperdrive is shat to hell, but hey, they make it entire sectors away, an chose to go limp someplace that is arguably worse than the place they left.
Why is Tatooine so far from Hutt Space?
mostly because the galaxy map in starwars has always been a mess, if we’re being honest.
Off the top of my head: the writing, the directing and the acting…
Compared to the Sequels, not a lot.
The story is there, and it’s a great story, but the acting is so hammy and the dialog is so stilted that even now it’s difficult to watch parts of them.
The Clone Wars/Rebels is the new canonical Prequel Saga, as far as I’m conserned.
I mean the sequels barely have anything going for them. The acting there is also nothing special. But the story is the main issue anyway so they are quite a few notches lower
Watch the Plinkett review
Almost 4.5h for all 3 movies? I don’t got the time for that.
The dialogs are so horrific that parts of the movies are borderline unwatchable. Nothing makes sense in the context of the movies, basically the Clone Wars series had to fix the whole story because nobody acts believably in the movies. The action scenes (aside from Yoda vs. Palpatine and the Pod Racing) are unbelievably boring because they are not staged well, you are supposed to find the action scenes engaging just because a lot of shit happens, there’s no proper thought behind it.
The disrespect for the duel on Mustafar is unreal.
Actually youre disrespecting all of Ewan McGregor’s lightsaber work, which is simply wrong besides being ignorant.
Christian and Ewan might not have had the cleanest choreography, but they developed real skill to perform the way they did across the prequels and some of the sequels.
Im not the biggest fan of starwars as a franchise as a literary example of storytelling, but I can still respect talent when I see it.
To me, not sticking to the original concept of Darth Jar Jar.
