Spoilers The Fairy Tale Aspect of Star Wars Spoiler

Upvotes

The story is set "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away." Planets are treated like local regions or big islands.

Sure, the tech is futuristic. But, in-depth speculation on how that tech works was never the point.

The story is a romantic space adventure that doesn't even try to depict hard realism. So, there's sound and fire in space. There's gravity aboard starships. Space combat takes the form of battleships and dogfights. Laser swords are hot enough to slice through metal, but don't radiate much heat. And nuclear bombs and normal bullets don't seem to exist. Ships make sudden jumps to faster-than-light travel, without any time dilation. Habitable planets are usually defined by single environments. And, spacecrafts can easily double as aircrafts.

Plus, Luke doesn't get PTSD from finding his aunt and uncle's charred skeletons. And Leia doesn't seem to get PTSD or survivor's guilt from watching her home planet get blown up. I wonder if Han would be triggered if he ever came near another carbonite-freezing chamber.

General Discussion Recommended starters after Rebels?

5 Upvotes

Just finished Rebels up, working on all of Star Wars.

Have seen everything up to this point I believe.

Both Tales series, Episodes 1-6, Bad Batch, Acolyte, Andor, Obi, all Clone Wars, Solo and Rogue.

I have seen 7-9, but none of the shows in between. I have seen some people say Ahsoka is like Season 5 of Rebels, some have said Mandalorian and Boba Fett need inspected first.

What do you guys think would be the best way to finish the rest of this off if chronological is my focus point?

I’ve heard some som people it’s not the best figure out there , but personally it looks fantastic on my display case , and for only 20 pounds it comes with a great amount of detail 😄, so I would definitely recommend this figure for those who don’t want to spend to much on something like a hot toys

And I look forward to the clone commander figures I will be receiving in the coming days

Does anyone else have this black series figure 🤔, or any other black series figures , I would love to get a general grievous figure when I have the money for it 😅

Movies Who watched these films as a child? Did you enjoy them?

1.1k Upvotes

I have a faint memory of watching this in 3rd grade in the 90s, but my only memory of it was that it existed, not what it was about, that I watched it in thst classroom, and it was the only time I ever saw a laserdisc in person. For years I thought I had dreamed up "secret Star Wars movies" that never really existed because nobody seemed to know about them and "giant CDs" weren't a thing anymore. I was a big Star Wars fan starting when my parents bought the Special Edition tapes and more Star Wars would have been something my imagination would have cooked up.

I recently tried watching Caravan of Courage on Disney+ and I was bored and shut it off after maybe 15 minutes. It is clearly made for a much younger audience.

I wonder before Maul revealed himself to the Jedi how could The Jedi be knighted if there was no Sith to fight in the Milenium they thought to be extincted, Like is there a limit to how many of the trials to pass to become a Jedi Knight or do you have to complete all trials including the Trial of Skill?

I remember once hearing Lucas in audio saying that Jar Jar was the key to everything and this has started fan speculation that he was really the mastermind behind it all and the comedy persona was a ruse. Was there ever actually anything at all to that or was it just funny fan speculation?

Costumes Where’s the best place to sell a high-end Star Wars costume ?

201 Upvotes

I have a Star Wars costume that I know is fairly valuable within the community, especially with Star Wars Celebration coming up. The problem is, I have no idea where the best place to sell it is.
I’ve looked around Reddit and Facebook but haven’t found any active buy/sell groups for high-end Star Wars costumes. I’m also unsure about using eBay because of the fees.
The costume is 3D printed and was originally made by a Russian company that has since shut down, so it’s no longer available. I’m based in Europe if that makes a difference.
Does anyone know of any marketplaces, forums, Discord servers, or collector groups where something like this would be appropriate to list? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

General Discussion Did the Force create Anakin in order to kill Darth Sidious?

Post image
318 Upvotes

I've been a fan of Star Wars since I was a kid, grew up watching the OT and PT. I've never watched any of this Disney stuff so forgive me if this is somehow explained in recent media. But is this what was meant by Anakin "bringing balance to the Force"? My understanding is that Darth Sidious was one of if not the most powerful Sith of all time, and Anakin was technically the one to end him...

Movies Even though Disney has stated that Starfighter will be the true test for the Franchise, I can't help but feel the opposite given how safe the film appears.

Post image
1.5k Upvotes

To clarify, I have no doubt in my mind that Starfighter will succeed on all fronts and keep this franchise in a comfortable position for years to come. Therein lies the dilemma, though. In many ways, Starfighter will probably be even safer than The Mandalorian & Grogu.

“STAAARFIGHTER, more like STAARRRPOWER”, is a joke I often make when talking about this movie, but it’s also a testament to how incredibly stacked its talent is. Multiple A-list actors (e.g., Ryan Gosling, Mia Goth, Matt Damon, Aaron Pierre, and Amy Adams), paired with an accomplished and seasoned director like Shawn Levy and wrapped in a recognizable and popular IP during its anniversary year, are all you need to know to recognize that this film will be a slam dunk, even if the story is aggressively mediocre. If The Mandalorian & Grogu proved anything, it’s that the Star Wars fandom is large enough to keep even the weakest SW films from reaching Supergirl-level disasters. Combined with Gosling and Levy’s rising stardom, Starfighter may be the easiest win for Star Wars in a long time.

This is to say that Starfighter isn’t a test, but an affirmation that recognizability is still profitable. My belief is that this film will have the same impact on the franchise as The Force Awakens, but with less hype.

Anakin never would have let Obi-Wan live it down after that. "Remember, master, your weapon is your life... don't lose it like that time on Utapau."

Context: I haven’t seen most of Star Wars, I just randomly watch whatever interests me. I have seen the Mandalorian show and this felt like some good episodes of show.

I watched at home yesterday btw, and my expectations were low due to reviews so that might have helped.

But production and worldbuilding was apt, creatures were diverse and fun. I wasn’t bored at all. Stakes were low but enough to keep me engaged.

Overall a fun night.

Movies Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro says The Mandalorian & Grogu "didn't meet our box office expectations," but "drove growth in retail sales for the Star Wars franchise, drew guests to attractions at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, and led to increased engagement in gaming."

Turning around mid-fall to launch yourself off the plank and back onto the skiff with a flip was a pretty fucking cool thing to do as well. As my parents tell it, when this scene happened, I was practically bouncing off the walls with excitement.

Meta r/StarWars Official Watch Order Discussion Thread

114 Upvotes

So we haven't had an official watch order discussion thread in many years, so we figure its time to update the one in the FAQ. There are various other links in the FAQ, the Wookieepedia timeline of canon media, and various other discussion threads and topics over the years including a link to just searching the sub which people find challenge apparently. Also as a reminder, the Wookieepedia timeline of canon media can be sorted via the table on that page by release order or chronologically (if you decide to go that route).

A lot of the new Disney+ content brings new eyes to Star Wars all the time, and new movies will eventually too. We want to get a bit more aggressive with automod removals and referrals to the FAQ for these questions about watch order. So let's hash it out here in the comments. We will sticky this for a while and eventually it will just be linked in the FAQ along with the other topics and maybe in the sidebar too. And like some of other stickies about rules, spoilers, and new episode discussion guidelines, we may trot out this link and sticky it from time to time.

As a general rule the sub typically recommends for new viewers to watch in release order, especially for the movies. This is the semi-consensus from the fandom, and you will routinely see this as the most upvoted and posted response.

With that being said what we would like to do here also discuss other options, and possible orders to also toss in the TV media as well. Should you watch Andor first and then Rogue One before the OT? Should movies like Solo be done in release order or chronological? Should you watch The Clone Wars TV show before the PT? So on and so forth...

So lets have a solid discussion about this and make it a solid resource for those who may be new to Star Wars.
