The Last Jedi is the only episode of the core saga where the title is stated in the film itself. (“Solo” is said in Solo, of course. “Rogue One” is spoken in a moment where the movie suddenly seems to recall it’s titled Rogue One.)
George Lucas’s original screenplay calls Star Wars “Saga I” instead of “Episode IV” (or even “Episode I”). If I were Lucasfilm looking to the future, perhaps I would call what comes after the Skywalker Saga… Saga II?
“No thank you.” All the hoopla about the dramatic plot twists of Episode IX left one element sadly under-appreciated: the firm boundaries of little D-O. You have to imagine there are children who found this behavior modeling very valuable.
While everyone’s enjoying Light & Magic on Disney Plus, I heartily recommend returning to From Star Wars To Jedi: The Making of a Saga from 1983. The whole thing lives on the Star Wars website. It’s a classic. (And it’s got that VHS look that is back in fashion.)
You are reading the newsletter of the kind of person who notices when they update the logos on the official website to make them uniform. I also noticed that they did not update the logos from the sequel trilogy films, those remain the logos that they used for the original marketing. Except for some reason on the website The Force Awakens logo is grey and not yellow.
Which, I confess, will bother me until they make it yellow or make it uniform with the other logos.
Should I care less about this? Or should others care more?
You’d think the answer would be obvious to me, but it isn’t.
"Should I care less or should others care more" basically sums up my thoughts of all of Star Wars right now 😂
