Yeah, I hated how Lucas did this with the Luke / Leia / Han love triangle.

I’m not sure what you mean. 

Luke has a crush on Leia. She didn’t have feelings for him. She kissed him in Empire to make Han jealous. 

I thought it was well known that originally Lucas was going to have Leia and Luke fall in love and that he came up with the brother/sister Darth Vader being the father only after the movie was released.

As I recall Luke’s twin was meant to be someone else who wouldn’t enter the story until return of the Jedi 

so he may have intended a love triangle but it doesn’t really seem that way from watching the films.  I suppose the one exception would be luke using the force to reach Leia at the end of empire. 

But it seems more clear she and han were the intended love story. 

Ofcourse there was no guarantee of a second film after Hope.   So it’s quite different from TFA where the trilogy was guaranteed to be made and sequels were set up. JJ wrote story treatments for 8&9 but rian disregarded them.

Maybe the Narada changed the timeline?

 

Super cool redo of the very first Star Wars lightsaber duel.  Really captures Vader's rage and Obi-Wan's desperate exhaustion.

 That was really ******* good. 

 

Stupid good.

 

thanks for that.

If Lucas had made a change like that, we could all get behind it. That was better than most of the prequel trilogy saber battles too (which were too cartoony, many of them). 

So stoked for this, the cast is super lit.  Giancarlo goddamn Esposito in Star Wars!

Also announced, an Obi Wan show on Disney+ staring Ewan McGregor:

 

oh look a poster for Rise of the Skywalker

Apparently there was quick trailer and it showed Rey dressed in black holding a double bladed red lightsaber.  I'm guessing that was a vision of "what could become" that she sees similar to what Luke saw in the cave because I doubt they'd turn her into a dark side user.

Apparently they released it....

YESSSSS! 

I loved that cartoon when I was growing up.

 

Putting this here so that we don't overwhelm the Movie thread. 

 

Rebels fans, there's a special guest appearance by the Ghost in this trailer. 1:01 in on the right hand side, behind the Falcon.

There's only one special guest and he's at 1:40

Should have easter egg'd him in at 1:45

But we knew that he was in this one. 

 

The Ghost is interesting because it blends another story line. 

What's with the C3PO scene?

Being plugged into a ship. Presumably, it's terminal.
