@Kirwan It was an episode of extremes - the Ahsoka story and the Hera story. I'm not sure there was enough action to be worthy of being on the big screen.
Yeah, agree. I would kill for a prequels movie made like that though. Such a huge difference having real Clone Troopers and that dirty, smokey setting for the battles instead of the sterile green screen of the 90s.
Says a lot that Darth Vader/Anakin is still the most compelling character. That said, now that Asjoka has "died" and came back with a personality (notice the smiling and Gandalf the White outfit) it might be a easier watch from here on.

hayden christensen is redeemed for me, obviously had a bit of stuff in obi won which was good....but that sequence of scenes did SO MUCH for the anakin > Vader story
one or both of these things has happened...proof that lucas might have good ideas but not a good director...or christensen has taken an opportunity with both hands and become a better actor (subtle changes from anakin to vader just in the face)
loved seeing the different clone wars anakins (outfits/haircuts)
-
episode 6....still loving it, some big epic and imperial looking bad guys and some pucky underdog good guys
makes me think, EP 1 is really the only one where we got to see anything close to the good guys actually being in charge, all the other movies and shows its really eh good guys as the underdog
-
@Kirwan yeah, its interesting seeing how theyre walking the line of not re explaining everything from Rebels....but managing to keep people just accepting some of these things like who thrawn is, why he's in a different galaxy etc
giant ring makes sense now so i retract my previous questions
yes, really enjoying Ray Stevenson as Baylan, kind of ominous vibes, he's a bad guys you cant help liking, whats his aim? will be interesting if Baylan dies before the end or if he survives and will be re cast
-
I think this will always be one of the weirdest things to make it past editors…in a franchise that include ghosts, space whales, effectively magic and countless other unbelievable things

Final episode…was a surprising end, still very much enjoyed it…I’m a little concerned how they’re going to explain how none of these big characters are in the sequels
This idea from the socials is interesting
“What if... Thrawn succeeds in returning to his own galaxy but Ahsoka, Sabine, and Ezra sabotage the jump and they arrive back home after Rise of Skywalker?
I think that would throw a wrench in a lot of theories/expectations and open the future wide up.
Then the Filoni movie actually cuts forward to an adult Grogu and aged Bo Katan and Din Djarin going up against Thrawn with sequel trilogy characters in supporting roles. (And since the next trilogy is apparently set much later, Filoni's movie could potentially have Thrawn kill Poe or Finn along with Din Djarin to help clear the deck for new characters.)”

Fingers crossed

It wasn't really a typical season finale. And no conclusion for Baylan Skoll so presumably Filoni will need to find a replacement for Ray Stevenson. A few names have been mentioned.
yeah, some suggestions that physically might work, hope whomever they pick can pull of the right vibes, Liev Schreiber looks the part and from memory is a big bloke so might be able to pull off the physically intimidating appearance
for me its almost more interesting where they left him than the rest, i mean ultimately we know where the main universe ends up because of the sequels unless they do something like suggested above
spoilerit seems clear he's looking for the Father/son/daughter, the epitome of dark/light/balance
Which is really interesting with Ahsoka as she has an alignment with the daughter, the owl/bird being her companion of sorts, always being seen around her

Fingers crossed
hes been set up as pretty ruthless...so might actually work to help retco some of the shit aspects of the sequels...i dont mind poe but in principle arriving out of the blue and killing them as soon as they come aboard to greet/see who it is
we might have to keep some of the characters but i could live with Ahsoka telling rey she's not a skywalker or a jedi
-
@Kiwiwomble
Ahsoka: Hey, Rey...?
Rey: Yeah...?
Ahsoka: Wanna know a secret?....Rey... you ain't shit.
Yo daddy ain't shit.
Yo momma ain't shit.
Yo lightsabre ain't shit, yo friend's ain't shit, ....Obviously with the correct song being played very softly as background music.

This just popped up…had already forgotten how awesome this was

Rogue one is by far the best SW movie, and Andor by even more distance the best TV series. Adult and still with a bit of humour. Great actors.
That is all
This post is sublime and then ridiculous

i really like andor, up there with ahsoka for my fav tv shows, but i kind of feel it relies on being aired amoungst several other star wars shows.....for it to be clear its a star wars show, a lot of it is quite subtle....and without obi/mando/ashoka around it (and obviously rogue one)...its a spy show in space...so in my mind a crucial part of the puzzle....but something very different on its own

It's ridiculous then sublime to me. No way is Rogue One the best movie, but Andor is easily the best TV series (although I haven't watched Ahsoka, but given my feelings on Filoni's other output I can't see it overtaking Andor).

I assumed he meant of the more recent ones.
Rogue One was outstanding, I really nerded it up and went to a midnight screening along with some pudgy long haired bearded guys in long leather jackets on a warm December night who were clearly not close acquainted with deodorant. Good times !!!
