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.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug

So what Solo should have been?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

That's exactly what it should have been. Change a few names and it's 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.

Well, it worked really well for Andor
