Star Wars Tales of the Empire - May 4th 2024 (Disney+)

[Johnny Utah]

It's called Tales of the Empire but it's centered around that black hole of a character? Filoni has got to go.

 

[Buttmunch]

I’m actually looking forward to this. Morgan kind of came out of left field on Mando so seeing how she and Thrawn established their relationship will really help fill in that gap. Anything connected to Thrawn has my attention.

Bariss is has been long rumored by fans to end up an Inquisitor after she backstabbed Ahsoka. Hoping it leads to a painful death for her. If there is one thing I’m sick of it’s the endless redemption in Star Wars. We need to see that sometimes people don’t always come back.

I’m hoping Vader still holds a grudge.

Good point! In so many ways, Barris betraying the Jedi and Ahsoka in particular helped lead Anakin to the dark side with Snips not being around anymore. Vader can be petty so I too hope he takes out some pent up anger towards Barris.

Star Wars may well be the only franchise I can think of where the fans only unambiguously and unanimously like 2 films out of like 12

God it's embarrassing to call myself a Star Wars fan today. I actually don't advertise it anymore.

I would never be caught dead wearing any of my old SW t-shirts. I don't even feel like the franchise is for males anymore at all.

Sure, I'll buy figures based on pre-Disney but I ain't watching nothing from this company.

[pixletwin]

I thought it looked good.

 

[jaztermareal]

If it is cartoon, I probably won't enjoy it outside of a couple episodes. If live action I am usually more optimistic but after BOBF, Kenobi and Mando season 3 even with live action I am not excited. Disney has really hurt Star Wars TV with naff-mediocre content. Only standouts for tv for me have been Mando s1 and 2 and Andor

 

[Wor-Gar]

Disney has really hurt Star Wars

You don't say...

 

[Chronos1919]

Animation looks decent. Seemingly poor choice for a villain to focus on though. One of the weakest characters from Ahsoka for me. Would rather have seen the backstory of pretty much any other villain from the show, especially Baylan. Hopefully it’s good. Seemed a little too cameo focused.

 

[JAWS]

Meh.

I think we all like ROTJ and RO

But there are only 2 truly Great SW films

Phantom Menace and Solo?

FR though my spicy take as a filthy casual is that Rogue One is the second best film of the franchise [after Empire of course]
Which is why it baffles me when I see so many fans hate on it.

ROTJ has a few good scenes [pretty much all the Palpatine, Vader and Luke scenes] but even then its only like 0.5 of a liked movie.

 

[Wor-Gar]

ROTJ is highly overrated.

RO is fantastic... but still nowhere near Star Wars (ANH) or ESB.

I would say I like RO better than ROTJ, despite the fact that ROTJ is the wrap-up to the OT... which is why so many people force themselves to like it (that, and they saw it when they were kiddies and they love those cuddly, carnivorous Teddys.)

Is ROTJ overrated? I think most think of it as the weakest of the OT.

It was defiantly a sign of things to come from George

 

[choombaz]

You are overrating that ROJ is overrated which makes it underrated, I think

 

[a-dev]

I often say the same about Titanic and Avatar.

 

[Jmek]

Return Of The Jedi is absolutely awesome you nutters!
