General Star Wars Discussion

[Suger Mag]

In general, I watch very little animation, but the Star Wars series have been incredible! They are dark, nuanced, beautifully crafted, and well written. I can’t wait for more of Maul's story!

I also am not a huge animation watcher, but I agree. These were top notch.

Honestly, Star Wars movies are basically live action cartoons anyway. As I often say, the movies are for 8 year olds!

I do think they are expanding on that a bit.... still making stuff towards kids (Skeleton Crew) but also more adult (Andor).

sometimes you see stuff on social media and you know it is so fake... then other times you see stuff and hope hope hope it is real

Speaking of projects geared to an older audience.. I have seen reference to a horror Star Wars series/project, now that would be fun.

Saw your post this morning....and then spent next couple hours watching those 4 final episodes of Clone Wars, and the last 2 of Ahsoka's Jedi story....they are SO, so very good. Until Andor, the animated stories had some of the darkest, deadliest SW content.

Heart break for sure, underestimated how much Kleenex I'd need... and reliving RotS. It's so genius the way they incorporated all of it.

George was shooting for 12 year olds I think, but you are not far off.

All the more reason destroying Luke was a stupid move.

I'm choosing to focus on the "definitely happening" category as I have had my fill of rumored movies that never come to fruition! I will probably go see Mando & Grogu and Starfighter.

What I'm most looking forward to, though, is the Rey & Leia novel coming out this summer!
