To your question, though, I'd totally be in for some Luke/Ben stories.


Especially if every episode contains a scene where Luke contemplates killing Ben.


Ben Kenobi?

Pretty sure that I read that Lucas originally wanted Spielberg to direct ROTJ but Spielberg declined, stating that was " George's baby" or something like that

I think I heard the opposite, that Spielberg wanted to direct (I always assumed because AotC was so bad) but Lucas couldn't let it go.
Spielberg wanted to direct Revenge of the Sith? Hadn't heard that.

Nope, it's the first thing. Lucas wanted him, Spielberg didn't want to touch Lucas' baby. But it was ROTJ.

Spielberg actually directed the Dooku/Anakin duel in AOTC though. Which is why there's so much close up of their faces, much more than any other duel.

Really? I always thought it was cause Christopher Lee was old as crap and just couldn't move well enough to have an interesting fight against another real life person….

Nah he had a stunt double who they could easily shoot from farther away and paste his face on. Maybe it was a factor but not the primary one.

I remember them talking about it on the DVD behind the scenes for AOTC.

It's always felt a bit awkward but I will say seeing the red and blue lighting up their faces does look pretty cool.

I grant him a reprieve considering he has some interesting real life fights as a total f'ing badass fighting for his country.

I believe Spielberg directed the Yoda/Sidious fight in ROTS as well. Which is probably why it was so awesome. I've never heard that about the AOTC fight and don't see it listed anywhere on the 'net. Are you sure you didn't get that and the ROTS fight mixed up?

This is true.

I remember Peter Jackson giving an interview about how Christopher Lee explained to him for a certain scene in Lord of the Rings that if a man was stabbed from behind, he'd react differently than how Peter Jackson was directing….and it was all from Christopher Lee's personal experience doing so…..

Then Peter Jackson made sure he was on different continents than Christopher Lee when he told him they weren't going to have his death in the theatrical version of The Two Towers.

I have decided that I want a D+ show about Luke's Jedi school. But it's a comedy like Abbott Elementary where the main thread is that Luke is a worthless teacher and jokes about "literally killing" his students.

And the have J. Walter Weatherman from Arrested Development hanging around each time to say "And that's why, you never use two lightsabers at once!"

A touching scene where Rey and her parents open her letter saying she hasn't been accepted and they have to send her to trade school.

Return of the Jedi coming back to theaters for anniversary. Cue outrage over which version it is.
Just confirmed with my dad and my brother that we'll go see it when it comes back out!


1983
Dad: 34
Brother: 12
Me: 9

2023
Dad: 74

Give me the 20th Century Fox fanfare to start the movie and I'll do a backflip.

That's about all I need. It's been a good little show, but I could see it getting pretty stale (or more stale) if it went longer.

honestly it felt like this was what was going to happen after this recent season.....setting up a massive 3rd and final act with trying to get omega back and stop the cloning attempts the empire is doing....

clearly they are going to fail with the cloning attempts to a certain degree, but curious to see how far they take it....and i still miss tech.....

I hadn't seen anything on this one. I thought Visions was a nice little nugget, so looking forward to what season 2 will offer.

Awesome! Visions was a great little experiment that had several episodes that blew my mind so now that they're venturing into even more artistic styles can't wait to see it!

Anyone else think the baddie going against the woman with the yellow saber is drawing inspiration from a certain bad guy in KOTOR???

That's actually kind of perfect. One of my buddies who I went to 2019 with is moving to Tokyo this summer. Might be a perfect chance to finally visit Asia.
