    My suggestion is to please watch the show. IMO the best Star Wars Story in any TV show. The Maul vs. Ben fight is a mirror or rhyme to the Quigon fight. Ben goes on to taunt Maul into preforming the same maneuver he did on Quigon. Which Ben knew the proper counter too. Please ​@sigurdbergsrud6198 watch the first true story of Master and Apprentice.

    it was released in march of 2005 right before the Xbox dropped with halo 3 following closely behind. that game was always destined for the bargain bin by virtue of being an incredibly late release on its respective console. it was also released after the first two battlefront games, two kotor game, three rogue sqaudrons, two jedi knight games which were all still going strong at the time. it's inievitable that one star wars game would fall through the cracks and not get the love it deserved.

Like, he's AMAZING at what he does and would be a fantastic consultant, but probably not the head of everything.

    Honestly, the perfect example of this is Hayden Christensen. The old guard of the fans hated him, but now that the generation those films were released for is in the media age, we are VERY vocal about how much we LOVED him as Anakin Skywalker, and we lost our minds when we found out he was returning to that role for Kenobi and Ahsoka. And don't even get me started on the AMAZING return of Ahmed Best, which was nothing short of perfect. And that's coming from someone who LOVED Jar Jar growing up.

    ​@LorenScott-ub2qb I would say the Clone Wars show is not that bad of a watch, peesonally. Once you get the movie out of the way, just doing an episode a day or every other day is not a bad way to go about it. Heck, you could watch it traditionally and just do an episode a week! It's only about 23-25 minutes of your time every day that you decide to watch it, if you tackle it that way. That's how I watched and read Berserk, and I've seen and read all of that material (every adaptation and manga chapter) in only about six months! I allotted myself a few days where I binged more than that and multiple weeks where I stopped making any progress, so it's not like you have to stay on it every day to finish a series. Not trying to slight you; just trying to provide possible encouragement! It seems like it's too much a lot of times, but once you start settling into chipping away at long series like that, it gets waaay easier! It's obviously up to you if you want to take that journey, though! :)

    @LorenScott-ub2qb Age on its own really shouldn't have any hold over your enjoyment of something, imo; that can be extremely limiting and is a fairly old-fashioned way of looking things. I mean no disrespect when I say this, but some of the best stories come from works similar to Star Wars. Again, you're free to do what you want of course, but just trying to let you know that there are about a billion 40+ year old people who lead successful lives and still love indulging in mediums of sci-fi and animation, not the least of which being many of the most influential people today. If you'd rather donate the time to doing other things, it's more than fine! I was merely referring to if you wished to fill the time between your other tasks, like on a meal break at work or something. That's how my dad always watches shows when he's out in the field, so I thought I would make mention of it! Just don't feel absolutely railroaded into not partaking in these things simply because you're x years old, or you're some busy person. You can ultimately choose not to, but I just thought you should probably have other reasons.

I grab it. And I was blown away.

    Too bad we’re getting another Star Wars game where we use a pistol yay Star Wars outlaws, such a vast amount of lore yet we stick to the basics, I wish for a planet traveling main story game like Jedi survivor again but expand beyond that show us other races and places to discover. Nope here’s a alien dog with you pistol wielding character with dead eye again

    It'll be interesting to see how fans look back at present Star Wars in 30 years. When I was growing up during 2000-2010, everyone HATED the prequels and anything regarding it, whereas now most of the fans love what the prequels did. Whether it was genuine reflection, or just realizing it was better than crap we got with the sequels. Still nice to see the prequels get the love they deserve.

    Did they though? Because prequel merch, toys, games and expanded material still sold very well. Compare that to sequel toys, merch and expanded material. How many novels and comics starred anakin between 1999 and 2009? Compare that to rey from 2015 and 2025. There's not even a single standalone rey novel as far as I know. Maybe 1. I was to young during the prequel releases but around 2007 to 2010 do you remember how popular the Darth maul face was? Or all the toys? It sold and it was there. We can't say the same for the sequel material.

I was surprised when I learned that people hated the prequels or that republic commando wasn’t huge. I believe that’s what it was like for a lot of us growing up. Even now with all the new stuff I’ve found I still enjoy Star Wars despite or because of its flaws (not sure which lol)

    A lot of games are like that (a lot of media in general too). Take Legend of Zelda Wind Waker for example. The opening of the game shows it was clearly meant to be a sequel to their last biggest game Ocarina of Time, but many people were so distracted by the fact it lacked the same kind of realism that they couldn't see the charm. Their next game, Twilight Princess, also acts as a sequel to Ocarina of Time, completely skipping Wind Waker as if it had never happened. Unsurprisingly, it's considered a great game now, and what's frustrating is that I could've told you it would be, but they didn't know that, so it was abandoned.
