It is not too early. When I signed up for MW2025, in March of 2024 of course, I had the base layer of my costumes not only chosen, but purchased before the end of the month. Of course, I then procrastinated actually finishing the costumes until like a week before I left, but that's a different matter entirely.
I'm not a huge fan of the sequel trilogy overall, but I absolutely loved The Force Awakens, and it's still my second favorite Star Wars movie. Where the ST fails for me is the lack of coherence overall, and the fact that every movie basically undid what the previous one did (and yes, that includes TFA despite me liking it). I enjoy (most of) the characters and think they're overall better-made movies than the prequels, but they really suffer from not having the endgame figured out early on. Whereas the prequels have great ideas but man, George needed another writer and director.
I’m just plain old and most enjoy space battle scenes and lightsabers, with a good topping of Emperor cackle, because the nostalgia of it all brings me back to the joy of the OG trilogy of my childhood. I need very little from SW to thrill me and am happiest when things are kept relatively simple! Give me aaaaalllll the Lucas CGI eye-candy. I never knew what was going on with Mandalorian and would’ve stopped watching but my son enjoyed it and I enjoy spending time with him. I feel the same way about Maul so far. Andor was something else entirely - one of the best stories I’ve ever seen told through TV and easily stands on its own away from any SW tie-ins, IMO. I don’t love 7/8/9 the way I do 3/4/5/6 and rarely re-watch them, but they bring me back to the OG enough to rate.I'm not a huge fan of the sequel trilogy overall, but I absolutely loved The Force Awakens, and it's still my second favorite Star Wars movie.

TFA was probably the best of the sequel trilogy but my issue with it was that it was pretty much the same story as A New Hope, only not as good. I could write paragraphs on Rey and Hux and Starkiller Base but I won't spoil your love of the characters.
Oh, 100%. Part of the reason the OG trilogy worked out so well is that he DID have Spielberg and others to clean up the cheesy dialogue and plot holes in his original scripts. By the time the prequels came out George didn't think he needed help anymore. Guess he thought Anakin/Vader's backstory could just write itself. Not so much.Whereas the prequels have great ideas but man, George needed another writer and director.
Absolutely. I wish they could have stuck with their original plan to make five seasons of it. It was a masterpiece.
