On a personal level, I was pleasantly surprised by the trailers. Alden Ehrenreich doesn't translate into Han Solo as well as I would prefer, but the gritty aesthetic of the movie looks great. If the quality of the movie is anywhere close to that of Rogue One, I'll like it. Overall, I'm much more optimistic about this one. Still a bit cautious, but it has my full interest now. Eh, this will probably be the first Star Wars movie since 1983 that I'm not seeing opening weekend.

I don't really like the gritty aesthetic are Disney that afraid of the Prequels that they refuse to add color to the worlds? Well there was Can't No Bite. That planet was so generic. We should've went back to Courscant!

I would think that his skill as a writer would be more to fault then his skill as a director. Exactamundo. It also doesn't help that Johnson is so talented & evidently also a gutless coward (he let Kennedy walk all over him, which is why he's been rewarded with his very own trilogy. The "everything is awesome" bros probably stood up to her & her bullshit feminist agenda; & they were canned for it. I am very grateful Edwards played ball while editing/post-production on R1, he was nearly fired too) The "everything is awesome" bros should never have been given Solo to begin with. Kathleen's reasoning, that they were making the film too lighthearted and slapstick, is very believable if you've ever seen their work.

Of course. The MMO(Star WarCraft: the Old Republic) is pretty awful, so do yourself a favor & play some KotOR before you begin. Which book were ya thinking of starting?? or If you love the Old Republic, then don't forget the comics

Can you read the Old Republic books if you haven't really played the games? Of course. The direct MMO tie-ins: Deceived: The story of Malgus (the helmetless Vader looking dude from the Temple invasion trailer). You don't need to play TOR, all you really need is to watch that trailer. Excellent book. Fatal Alliance: has nearly fuck all to do with the game, apart from being set in the same time period and featuring Satele (the Jedi chick from the trailers). Excellent book, features some really unique enemies. Annihilation: Again, fuck all to do with the game apart from a few characters. Mostly meh. Revan: It's probably better if you don't play KOTOR if you want to read this, actually. It's really not that bad, but don't let Revan fanboys hear you say that. Otherwise it bridges the gap between KOTOR and TOR. Beyond that, books set in the Old Republic Time period (5000BBY to basically the prequels) aren't tied to any game at all. The best of them is of course the Bane Trilogy by Drew Karpyshyn, as has been mentioned. Of course. The MMO(Star WarCraft: the Old Republic) is pretty awful False or Path of Destruction is the superior book, by far. If you have no interest in the games, I'd actually skip Revan all together as it adds nothing to the lore that's not already long dead and buried by the time of the next chronological work.

Anyway, if there is a Kenobi movie I’d like it to be a sort of Tatooine version of the Magnificent Seven, Obi-Wan recruiting six ne’erdowells from around the desert to help him stop a Tusken war party led by a former Jedi turned warlord that threatens the moisture farmers.

It's mind boggling that with all the resources that Mickey Mouse has and the amount of talent there is out there that they couldn't have gotten a better actor. Like they could've gotten this fellow, who actually did play a younger Ford in a film he was in.
