No doubt.

Maybe they will do something completely dumbfounding and premiere it during GMA.

The 25th also falls a bit more in-line with the prequel release window (5/19, 5/16, and 5/19 respectively). Yes, TPM sucked, but the lead-up to it was one of the best movie anticipation periods of all time. This is starting to have a similar, prequel-hype vibe, in the best way, only with the hope and expectations of a much better outcome.

The 25th is literally the day that Star Wars came out. Jedi as well.

I think A New Hope also came out on the 25th!

Okay, you're a Jedi in hiding. Do you choose to live on:

A) a desert planet like Tatooine
B) a swamp planet like Dagobah
C) an ice planet like Hoth
D) other - please explain below

---

D) does The Galaxy have a Las Vegas style planet? Full of women and booze?

Yeah, Moon Knight really screwed a potential May the 4th premiere. That said, the 25th does make a lot of sense. Not only for the reason you mention, but Memorial Day Weekend begins two days later - making for a big, summer holiday release - and Star Wars Celebration is the 26th through the 29th, so they could have all kinds of Obi-Wan panels, premiere events, etc that same weekend.

You nailed it

I nailed it.

Ha, I meant to respond to that. I was just riding your coattails!

it's just Han and Chewie strolling around Canto Bight with Chewie roaring "you're so money" to Han as he leaves countless voicemails for Qi'ra.

Chewie playing a Vince Vaughn type role sounds amazing.

A series centered around Lando (Donald Glover) spending extended time at Canto Bright might be immediately my favorite Star Wars series.

Mike Tyson punches Chewie in the face and Chewie rips his arms off.

or while we're at it, Han, Chewie and Lando go to Canto Bight for Lobot's bachelor party, only to wake up with absolutely no idea what happened the night before or where Lobot is now

We don't talk about Canto Bight.

We joke, but the Star Wars universe is so vast that I guarantee this thread could write a really good Disney+ series centered around Canto Bright.

It's Canto Blight in my world....

I wonder if Disney can swallow the bitter pill and admit it made a mistake with ST…

Pros:
1. Better more fluid story can be told as replacement
2. More $ for Disney with retcon trilogy
3. Luke can be the mentor and hero he should be made out to be
4. Renewed enthusiasm for the franchise

Cons:
1. Carrie Fisher can't participate
2. All the other actors who were involved get bumped to the memory hole (bad for them, good for fans)

I'm sure there are more.

I'd really like to get Lucas' outline / drafts for what 7-9 should have been in his mind… never thought I'd say that. But I think the Technology and Supporting functions are finally there to make his stories and galaxy absolutely great (I.e. the volume, not green screens, etc)

Carrie Fisher can't participate

But a representation of her certainly can (and will result in lots of griping from the TA gallery I'm sure)

Just call it the Han-over

I like the idea of Lobot waking up from a drunken stupor screaming, "How the **** did I get this THING attached to my head?"

Yea, they might believe that they made some mistakes and could have gone different ways on certain things, etc.

But they're never going to "undo" the sequel trilogy like a lot of fans want. (Not saying you specifically are)

Love them or hate them, the sequel trilogy movies made a ton of money and there are a lot of kids right now (girls especially) that have their new heroes. (Rey, Poe, Finn, etc.).

They won't but I wish they would. We might have to wait for the current generations to die off which includes us.

Also, FTR, I think Lucas's ideas for his ST were kind of BSC if I remember correctly.....Didn't he want to go microscopic and have a story play out at the cellular level or some crazy **** like that?

Like a Honey I Shrunk the Kids version of Star Wars? Did I dream that? Maybe I did.
