Isn’t this place where David Lynch got a massive migraine? He was in consideration to direct Jedi on the merit on The Elephant Man, but took himself out on the day of that visit to Lucasfilm.
Inexplicably by that standard, then he signed on to direct Dune for Dino De Laurentis, and has regretted that decision to this day, refuses to speak of his experience.
I still have issues with the film, but I do think TFA did a decent job at setting up the sequel trilogy, just a lack of planning for the overall story and letting each director choose what they wanted their film to be about is what really messed it up, like as much as I dislike TLJ, the worst part is that it does nothing to continue what was setup before it and doesn’t really end on a good note of where the final film will go
The A180 was briefly considered for the list, but there are just so many designs, it had to be cut. There’s a lot of interesting stuff all around in Rogue One.
Westar 34 was super interesting because it’s one of the few designs that isn’t based on any kind of real firearm. It looks very delicate and precise.
Don’t watch the prequels first. It’ll spoil the original trilogy. Machete or release order would be good.
Once you’re done 1-6, watch the others at your own will. Solo, Rogue One, the sequels, any order (but watch the sequels in order).
If you really get into all of the above, check out the Clone Wars animated show (watch it in chronological order), then Rebels. I would recommend watching the live action shows after the animated stuff because they continue a lot of those stories, but you could do it either way.
In my opinion, the best way to watch ALL of it is to watch it in release order. Nothing gets spoiled, and everything gets built upon what we already know.
If he really doesn’t know about Vader’s reveal in Empire, then you must watch the OT first, because the prequels will spoil one of the best plot twists in film history. Otherwise, watching the prequels first is fine.
But please do not watch the shitquels under any circumstances.
A complete coincidence, as Vader was not intended to be Luke’s father when A New Hope was written.
Heck, I’m pretty sure “Darth” was actually just supposed to be his first name. Sith titles weren’t considered at all. The concept of Sith didn’t even solidify until after Return Of The Jedi had been released.
The reveal in Empire is one of the biggest retcons in movie history.
It's very binary in the Disney era. All the theatrical movies, the 2008 Clone Wars TV show, Rebels, and all the rest of the Disney-era TV shows are canon, as are all of the novels, comics, games etc released during the Disney era. Everything else is non-canon. Lucasfilm maintains a tight grip on canon and that's a big part of what Pablo Hidalgo's job is all about.
Before the Disney-era, the concept of canon in the Star Wars Expanded Universe was more complicated and fluid, and relied on 'tiers' of canon with the movies at the top, the TV shows next, certain novels next, etc. The idea of canon back then was that anything in the one of the lower tiers could be canon as long as it wasn't contradicted by something in a higher tier. For example, if somebody wrote an EU novel that said that Anakin loved sand, that would be non-canon because it's directly contradicted by Attack of the Clones; but if they wrote a novel that said Padme loved sand, that might be canon if there's nothing in the higher tiers of canon to contradict it.
First tike I heard the name I thought it sounded so goofy, like wooow they couldn’t go for even more of a lame sounding name like the Universe Exploder or the Death Sta… and that’s where that thought ended.
The name tells you a lot about what it is supposed to do, and how the person deploying it sees themselves.
If it were built to collect resources at the cost of devastating a planet, then it would be called a Collector or Harvester, because that’s its primary function. A World Devastator has the primary function of devastating worlds. It’s an offensive tactic that uses the resources collected to build war machines as a byproduct.
