    Coming next fall to Disney+, Owen: A Moisture Farmer’s Tale.

    Although frankly it still can’t be as bad as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

    Just get Star Wars away from Jedi and the entire extended Skywalker family. Just never fucking mention any of them ever again. In fact, just get all the rest of the cast of Narcos in, and make fuckin’ Narcos in Space. Narcos is the key to good Star Wars.

      That is what I don’t get you have a whole galaxy and infinite timeline to choose stories. But for some reason they all have to be tied to the skywalkers.

        I only watched it once, but I think I’d enjoy it more if I just pretended the main character is not supposed to be Han Solo.

          The biggest problem with it is the character they chose was supposed to be a bad guy at the time which they can’t do because it’s Disney so changing the character would work

          There are other issues but for a Star Wars it would be fine

      Or if they have to stick with the Jedi then do bloody Nights Of The bloody Old bloody Republic bloody already. Seriously it’s like the one good Star wars story that still left to be told, and they just ignore it like it’s not there. There’s enough content there for right to go on for about 25 years.

      I’m fine with them just going into new territory regarding the timeline. I just don’t want to see shows rehashing events that have already been exhaustively covered.

      I want to see the universe move forward, I’m sick of looking into the past.

    I was 100% ready for a decapitated hand as a protagonist to a 7 episode show. The story of a hand trying to make it’s way back to it’s master through the ways of The Force. Then realizing it can make a family with other decapitated hands and that it doesn’t have to be bound by it’s place if origin. The more I think about it, the more I want it.

    So like Thing, going from planet to planet performing various jobs only it can do.

    Suddenly a princess Left Hand needs rescuing but Thing is a hand short to be a mouse droid.

    Let’s be honest, I’ll watch it - but I still had hopes that they’d make an anthology of the adventures of Maul’s lower half first.

      I still remember the extended universe book about one of Vader’s gloves infecting the wearer and taking over their body.

        I still laugh anytime someone tries to tell me how the expanded universe was just amazing and brilliant, and how the sequel Trilogy was a complete insult to it.

        “The expanded universe would never bring back Sidious or have a girl like Leia be a Jedi!!11”

        I will however admit that the extended Universe would never have made Boba Fett look like the world’s most naive and unassuming Grandpa.
