Anyone else watching Star Wars today?

Starting with A New Hope and binging from there.

Every day is Star Wars day at my house.

 

[GAD]

And Star Wars (not A New Hope) should have proper posters!





End angry nerd rant.

I swore a blood oath after the Ewok Muppet thing I would never watch another Star Wars film. They should have stopped after the Empire Strikes Back...

If you want serious Star Wars without space wizards watch Andor. Fabulous stuff.

Then watch Rogue One.

Andor is terrific.

Andor is terrific.

Right? It’s crazy how good it is and how engrossing stuff is that you’d otherwise think would be boring. I mean there are long scenes that are just meetings! And they were awesome! Absolutely fabulous show.

Made me want to build a B2EMO, but that’s not a simple build.

Yes, Andor was on par w/ Mandalorian...both of which were great. Far better than Boba Fett. (sorry, but that one was just...bad. )

edit: might as well attach this....2 weekends ago, taken from my front porch. Just some random neighborhood kid out cruising!!


What I wouldn't have done for that back in 77!!

Mandalorian took a nose dive this season IMO. Andor is in a completely different league. Andor is adult Star Wars of a type I don't recall ever seeing before.

That landspeeder is SO COOL!

Have you read "The Secret History of Star Wars" by Michael Kaminski? I'm betting you have, GAD, but if not you should. Gives a rather different history of the development of the movie(s) and really helps with the perspective on all this stuff. "A New Hope," indeed!

Funny you should mention this. My wife just agreed (amazingly) to watch all the Star Wars films with me. I'm looking forward to it.

Her, . . . maybe not so much.

Just watched Rouge One again. The best Star Wars movie by a long shot. Fantastic. I tear up every time.
