I guess I’m confused. I’m an old school OT era Star Wars fan, never watched the Clone Wars or Rebels shows. Are they getting into interdimensional type stuff here?
I dunno….seems like cheap cop out storytelling, just like any time a writer leans on time travel or ‘it was a dream’ type story telling. I’ve read enough positive things about Filoni’s work that I’m willing to see this one through, but I hope things don’t get too hokey too fast.. On a separate note, I think we just saw our first ever live action load/reload of a Star Wars blaster |

On a separate note, I think we just saw our first ever live action load/reload of a Star Wars blaster In Rebels, it was used to save Ahsoka from Vader. BUT, when the time came to save Kanan, Ezra was forced to learn that changing the past can destroy the present and because of that, would later refuse Palpatine's offer to return him to his (now deceased) parents using it to time travel. He instead apologizes to his parents and begins to fight the emperor's minions and Thrawn. |

I do hate the inclusion of the WBW concept in Star Wars. However, I hate the sequels even more so and tolerate WBW on the fool's hope of retconning the sequels out of existence.

Both Ahsoka and Wheel of Time S2 came out at the same time and they were running neck and neck.
Ahsoka is pulling far ahead this week. |

I have no idea what this concept of World Between Worlds is. No clue. So what do I need to know? Is that how Kylo connected to Rey in the new trilogy?

I don't remember that either. So the WBW isn't only in the mind but it can also take physical form? Gotta say, this whole concept seems a bit goofy. If that were the case, why not just travel thru space and time inside these corridors instead of having a ship and making the jump thru hyperspace?

Although, I can say, I never seen dolphins swimming next to a ship, but then again, like the GenTech guys, I hate dolphins. |

Just saw the "making of" special.
Good to see Rosario Dawson's passion for the character. Bad to see that George Lucas and the other Disney cunts still have a hand in the storytelling. Would love to know more about the people writing, responsible for the storyline development. |

Its hard to take your comment seriously when you diss Lucas. Lucas deserves to be thumped when he put out stupid ideas. His idea for the movie after the prequels was a mashup of innerspace and who knows what, where people shrank to the celluar level and "met the midicholrians." No, I am not joking. That was his idea. Also, they had to save SW from him. His edit of it was a disaster. The horrible stilted weird acting in the prequels is apparently the result of his directing. He apparently *wanted* them to act that way. And of course, the editing and changing the story afterwards, over and over again: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/George-Lucas-Star-Wars-Creator-Unreliable-Narrator-Time-Travelling-Revisionist/id/66986 George is not the devil, and he is responsible for the fodder that was shaped up to become starwars, and we wouldn't have it without him, but ... reality is what it is. He's also a mess. Creatives seem to be a mess more often than not and need help, just like walt needed roy. Reportedly he wouldn't even let the original releases (original negatives or original theatrical first relase cuts) out even for the library of congress, who requested to be able to archive them as culturally important artifacts. SW deserves better than it has gotten. George is a creator, but I don't think he's good at stewarding and expanding his creation. |

His name is Alan and he always presents in the clothes he sleeps in. That said he does a fantastic job of dissecting the SW stories and is normally close to right. |

Side note - I watched The Last Jedi last night (for the first time since seeing it in theater the week after opening) to see if it made more sense with the World Between Worlds concept being the next stage of Jedi stories evolving… and yeah, with that context it was better.
It’s still not great, but it was a decent show with some flaws - bomber run, Holdo, WBW being completely lost on the general public… They really needed to take a minute and cover why the Force isn’t the same as it was in the prequels or original movies so people not familiar with the WBW will still understand how you can reach out and touch someone or Airdrop a freaking lightsaber to someone. Just a little exposition would have gone a long way. |
