Forget the Force and lightsabers – give me more Andor, Imperial security intrigue, and political/spy machinations.
  • Star Wars Disney Plus shows should move away from Jedi-centric stories and explore other aspects of the Star Wars universe
  • Andor is a successful example of a Star Wars show without Jedi, focusing on the Empire’s control and morally gray characters
  • Suggestions for new Star Wars show ideas include Pod Racing, Jawa Storage Wars, and One Man and His Droid, among others

    8 didn’t do any retcons. A retcon would be “actually Snoke isn’t the main villain, he’s just a clone created by Palpatine.” 8 was perfectly happy to play nice with all the facts established in 7, and then have Ben kill Snoke as the first dramatic climax of the movie. 8 gets to have two dramatic climaxes because Rian Johnson is a brilliant filmmaker.

      A retcon would be “actually Snoke isn’t the main villain, he’s just a clone created by Palpatine.”

      by the logic you’re using, that still wouldn’t be a retcon, because it would’ve been the intention the entire time

      i’m also stunned you think anything about “he turns the lightsaber to face his TRUE ENEMY” was well handled
