Grabs a cryin' towel

So today a 10 year old leveled me in the eye and said, "so do you know Star Wars"?

Me: "in 1977..."

Watchucryinbout ?

Yer younger than I !

1977, when we thought anybody over 30 were on their death bed.

Just think how Gordon feels !

Then he showed me his Disney Plus account on his tablet the size of my 1977 school textbook cover and explained The Mandalorian isn't a movie (which I thought I missed in the theaters).

Ah well your not so aged that you had to go through having your
pony tails dipped in the ink wells.

You're doing good yet.

slinks off to find out what Mandalorian is......

The Mandalorian is awesome!

The Book of Boba Fett was okay, I felt the inclusion of Din Djarrin really spiced things up. Although I am loving Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand - she voiced her in The Bad Batch.

There are a LOT of crossovers in the Star Wars universe. https://www.imdb.com/list/ls072034866/ You can miss out on references to other works. In particular, it crosses media styles - live-action and animation.

I can tell you according to the list I linked that I haven't seen any of the Star Wars: Droids series (entries 11-13).

However, I've seen the Clone Wars (entries 4 through 8), The Bad Batch (entry 10) and Rebels (entry 16). They do start out a bit slow but pick up speed in ensuing seasons. Those ones I will recommend.

I have never seen the Star Wars Holiday Special (Entry 20) - I'm told that is a good thing XD
or the Ewok specials (Entries 22-24)

And Star Wars: Resistance I just couldn't get into - couldn't even finish the first season (Entries 29, 31 & 33)

Upcoming releases in the live-action realm that will be on Disney Plus that I'm excited to see are:

Obi-Wan Kenobi (entry 15, currently in post-production - and they brought back John Williams to score it!!!! )
Ahsoka (entry 28 - currently in post-production). The thing about Ahsoka is that unless you've seen clone wars & rebels, you probably won't be invested in her character.

and a few others that could be interesting:
The Acolyte (entry 1 - currently in pre-production)
Andor (entry 17 - currently in post-production, a prequel to Rogue One. I really liked Rogue One, hope they do it justice).

And the thing is, I'm not a HUGE fan of Star Wars - not like a number of my friends! I have a few friends who have seen and READ anything Star Wars related.
Check this out - https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_books
these are the books set in the Star Wars Universe. I have read maybe 20 or so.
https://pennbookcenter.com/how-many-sta ... are-there/ According to this, there are 381 novels.

It was interesting to me that the boys were inherently uninterested in Princess Leia. She had the best lines and took action.

I used to see a lot of Star Wars novels but was equally uninterested in them. Having said that, if and only if I subscribe to Disney Plus will I actually be invested in the rest of the series. I take it there is no other way to see them.

...if and only if I subscribe to Disney Plus...

Pffff - disney - (*said like Seinfeld says Neuman*)

What the?

Should we all not cancel Disney then?

[Lady tehMa]

That was all Kathleen Kennedy. She has been dumped and Dave Filoni is in charge now. LOL - as an "in" joke in one of the episodes there is a speeder gang rampaging and they tag buildings etc with two of the same characters. In Huttese (or so I have been informed by a fan) they are the initials "KK".

We're hoping Gina is back soon, I really liked her.

Pod Racer on N64 was pretty awesome!

I can't remember the first time I watched star wars! I was born in 84 so I wanna say 88 or somewhere around there!
