**Beware SPOILERS** Obi-Wan Kenobi Series on Disney+ **Beware SPOILERS**

[Prime Clone]

I still think he screwed up -- starting with the special editions when he made it so ... err ... dense.

My original memory of Star Wars is actually a feeling that I couldn't possibly have articulated as a child ... of a vast, lonely galaxy of great distances, deep secrets and lost history with people struggling to get by against a titanic backdrop ... like a Mcquarrie painting.

That place was huge and anything could happen there.

In my opinion, we've lost that and the property is diminished because of it.

Ironically our original experience of Tatooine didn't fit with George's vision, and as soon as he had the technology he "fixed" it.

Watching rots clips on YouTube. Still get emotional.

Especially when you realize how deceived Anakin was into not realizing that he had what he always craved despite all the most important people in his life telling him point blank with their last words to him.

Jeez man you just hit me hard.

Lot of red lightsabers around the galaxy. What happened to "always two there are"?

You should have told her that.

I should've known that she wouldn't understand a Gentleman Gamer Collector like myself.

Well you might tell them yours, but they don't tell you theirs. Cigarettes, tobacco, ****, alcohol, etc.

Good point. Still, it's not just the money and whatever, it's just that this hobby is an uphill battle of sorts. There's always going to be a newer version, something better right around the corner. Once you're done with 1/6th the compulsion could drive you to 1/4th and so on. If you can't maintain control from the beginning, you're in for a perilous journey.

It can be generational, some might not have had the opportunity to consume it or the commercialism was before their time. They can live life bitter without a sense of wonder that figures/comics/media offer.

Look, if I'm being honest, I wish I wasn't into half the things I am. It all would've been so much simpler...

I don't read comics anymore. My time has come and the current agenda nonsense has become unreadable. Best to enjoy what you already have.

I pull 3, mostly for completionism reasons. There's an indie or a mini or whatever that catches my eye once in a while.

Just like everything else in life, things are best consumed in moderation.

Yeah, true. It's just that with a hobby based on consumption it's easy to lose sight. Then the years pass and you lament the lost money, space and wasted anxiety.

Think of Jeffrey Epstein. He was a big man to many people. Didn't end so well for him. Many other sicko, violent people out there. Being just a decent person is good enough.

Decency is for betas. All my Sigma Hommies are up on that Grindset.

Yeah could be Clone Wars Kenobi, CW Anakin, current Kenobi, Vader with Anakin sculpt, "Head" inquisitor

I'm holding out for

• ROTS Obi-Wan & Anakin reissues
• CW General Skywalker & General Kenobi
• PT Palpatine if the rumours are to be believed
• DX Vader with Crispy Hayden head and Throne or something

Maybe they could reissue Qui-Gon as the leaks suggest he's got a role in it, but that's the best case scenario of all possible figures from this. I don't care about the Inqusitors or whatever else. The year's packed as is. I'm just looking to plug the holes in my PT collection.

Ah-ha! Another "sneaker".

I have all of my stuff shipped to work and get it into the house when I can.

Ah-ha! Another "sneaker".

Any day that I'm able to get UPS off the front porch while my wife is elsewhere is a day long remembered. At this point, my basement is dense enough that almost anything can be merged into the collection. I've answered the "Is this new?" question with a lie so many times

Only a Jedi deals with absolutes.

Red lightsabers sell more merch ....

In SW the baddies are way cooler than the heroes.. SO, a great company like Disney will change the narrative to give the fans what they want. We don't mind at all when they change the lore/backstory we've been enthralled with and faithfully followed for 40+ years if it makes it waaaay cooler...

Disney loves its fans and wants them to be happy....

Nobody I know outside this forum even watched BoBF or knows it exists.

You need to get out more.... >

Haha...

Nobody I know outside of this forum would ever treat me like a man if I went and talked to them about "The Book Of Boba Fett", especially if I went on my rant of how it continues ruining the SW brand. We joke and banter, but the actual people who watch and are invested in all these things are very, very few, if we make it a global thing. Everyone knows what SW is, at least in the West, and they can enjoy it, but EU Vs. Canon and heavy involvement in the brand is a no-no. The fact that we buy dollies that cost 1/3rd of a grand each makes us an even smaller minority. Can you imagine going to someone and telling them that you spend more on a toy that you're not even playing with, and are likely to replace in 5 years, than they spent on their good winter coat? It's all a bit relative and of course our money is our money, but still. It's not something I'm eager to share with the outside world.

Some advice for life....stop giving a crap about what people think of you, your hobbies , likes or dislikes.
If your "friends" would judge you for it, find a better class of people to hang with.....like us.

I recently turned 50. My family and friends rented a theater just for our group of 30. We watched Star Wars, My wife bought me a 1/6 figure, my kids picked the movie and theater in secret since it was a surprise, then we all wend to a arcade bar and played coin op games and had a blast.
Point is, my fam and friends all know about my hobbies and loves....they do not care, as long as it makes me happy.

Also , recent article about changes to OW.

"Hossein Amini was the original writer who worked with director Deborah Chow on the six-episode series. And while it was reported that preproduction paused in early 2020 because Lucasfilm was unhappy with the scripts, the reasoning behind the pause was a little more layered. According to sources, Chow showed the scripts to Star Wars stewards Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, who were coming off the success of The Mandalorian, freshly launched in November 2019, and deep into work on season two.

Sources note that Filoni and Favreau were concerned about Obi-Wan covering similar ground as Mandalorian — the Lone Wolf and Cub-like story of Kenobi coming out of hiding to protect a child-aged Luke Skywalker. Maul was one of the villains who would participate in the hunt for the pair; Vader was nowhere to be found in this faraway galaxy at this stage, according to those with knowledge of the project. Also, Filoni and Favreau pushed Chow and the show to “go bigger,” according to several sources. In any case, those concerns made their way to Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy, who pressed the pause button. (Joby Harold was eventually hired as the show’s new writer.)

It is unclear how far along in the process things initially unraveled. A boy was chosen to play young Skywalker, but no scenes with him were shot. As far as Park’s Maul goes, the picture is more cloudy. One source says Park was on set for preproduction and was also involved in stunt training. The source says footage of Park may have been shot, although another source says it could have been test footage. Whatever the case, Park was back as Maul, or so he believed."

Tatooine the Series just announced

 

[pixletwin]

I reckon the last time I felt insecure about talking Star Wars with others lasted about 2 months when I was in 6th grade.

Where do you live and who do associate with that they would be such judgmental *******? They are probably on these forums too, talking about Star Wars and worried what others would think if only they knew (GASP!)

Come out of the closet. The Mouse compels you!

Tatooine the Series just announced

Tatooine: No Way Home will have ANH Tatooine, TPM Tatooine, and BOBF Tatooine all coming together to fight Coruscant, lol.
