Those of you who think that there was nowhere to go after The Last Jedi need to Google Duel of the Fates, which was the original script for the last film. All kinds f good stuff they decided not to pursue.
I think Duel of the Fates would have been a nice name to bookend to The Phantom Menace.
You folks are making me feel a bit inadequate . . .
... just wait until you see my pics of all the X-Wing miniatures ships I've bought recently. You'll feel inadequate and also think I'm completely off my rocker.

So, not having watched any of the cartoons - are Inquisitors Sith? I'm trying to figure out why the one has a lightsaber. I thought the Sith rule was "always only two" - master and apprentice - as in Vader and the Emperor, I always thought they were the only two Sith around. Not that they are following any sort of continuity at this point I guess.
Are you talking about the mole guy? He was voiced by Zach Braff…. so maybe your point still standsEpisode 3
What's with them hiring prominent comedians in this show? The guy in the second episode, (don't know his name) was a bit distracting, but I let it go, but now Seth Roegan? I dunno, just takes me right out of the viewing experience. Jedi underground railroad seems a little tonedeaf, but whatever. Vader is cool, I guess, but....I dunno, I'm just getting more and more confused, the whole fight I just kept thinking of that line from A New Hope: "When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master." I cant square that with what's occuring now in this series.
You are at the bottom of the barrel right now. This series was like a bowl curve as far as quality goes.
I think Inquisitors are more just evil force users rather than Sith. I suppose like any bureaucracy that has rules, evil ones find ways of circumventing employment laws and headcount!
In the end, the main problem I had with the sequels was
The whole "Sith Rule of Two" thing has always been a bit iffy. "There can only be two Sith, a master and an apprentice," along with backup apprentices, fallen Jedi, other trained dark side force users, etc. They should probably precede the saying with "TECHNICALLY there can only be two Sith..."
well, the sequels gave the Sith their own planet, language, and a council of Sith lords or something (it was all rather confusing). I think at this point it's safe to say Disney is off the rails and continuity is as out the door as a DC comic
The problem is that back in the 80's, Hollywood found out that the general audience doesn't want new stuff. They just want more of the same. Hence, because it takes five to ten years for Hollywood to catch up, the massive deluge of sequels and remakes that started in the 90's. And you know what? IT WORKED. And Hollywood made serious bank.Honestly I'm getting kinda sick of Star Wars. I wish Hollywood would stop expanding old IP's and make new ones. Instead it's just more of the same, Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Marvel, DC, etc.
It's all become stale or repetitive.
Once Feige took over during Civil War and pushed Favreau out, the MCU was over. The first clue that Captain Marvel, a rendition of Carol Danvers whose books have been literally cancelled 12 times in a decade. He skipped literal decades of good material that could be adapted to go straight to a failing era of comics.Come back? They just left.
I dunno, there's a lot of great Marvel characters they coul do films about, but I no longer have any faith in them doing GOOD films. I think that time is over, from here on out it''s going to be Captain Marvels and Shang Chi-s.
I think the Obi-Wan Vader scene at the end basically saved the series. It has plenty of flaws. I actually thought at the beginning of the series they would make all kinds of canon gaffs, but surprisingly, they thought about making sure there were no inconsistences over actually telling a really good story. As I've said again and again, it's time to leave these characters in the dust and move on. I'm begging Disney at this point to not give us any more live-action Skywalker Saga stuff and move on. I've seen YouTube comments sections already and there are fans who want a Vader series and Obi-Wan Season Sixteen, and I'm doing the Vader "nooooo" scene in my head every time.Finished the series....uh, it was alright. Fine, even. Way better than Book of Boba, but some of that may have party been because I went in with no expectations.
I just, well, I guess after all that I just don't see the point of it.
It wasn't filling in lose ends or story details, it actually inconveniently contradicts the orginal trilogy, and yeah, the fight between Vader and Obi Wan at the end was cool but...what purpose did it serve? Their fight at the end o the Prequels and their fight in a New Hope both had these huge emotional stakes that drove the story forward. Here, the story just sort of existed for the fight.
I dunno. I guess it's just...more Star Wars. And that's what most Star Wars fans want.
This was my understanding also. There were a lot of force using offshoots in the EU (most notably the Witches of Dathomir), which made sense because the force isn't the purview of the Sith or Jedi- force sensitive users were born before the Sith and Jedi spread to become the forces they were.Not to defend the sequels (which I hated), but in the EU, that's the way the Sith were before Darth Bane instituted the "Rule of Two." Some fallen Jedi made themselves into the deities/rulers of a planet occupied by a species call the Sith, interbred with them, and more or less redefined what the word "Sith" meant. After extensive in-fighting over thousands of years (no surprise there when you have a whole dark side oriented culture) Darth Bane came along and decided that there should only be two at a time. So you go from "Sith" the species to "Sith" the culture to "Sith" the force tradition to only two "Sith" in the force tradition. Except for, you know, all those other dark side force users that I mentioned.
Depends on what it is Rich. The writing Filoni did on the end of The Clone Wars was phenomenal. It’s actually one of the reasons I said they should make an animated show on the Luke Skywalker-Ben Solo years because it might help the sequels the way the former did for the prequels.
