The question is debated on and off over and over, but the spinoff movies definitely make things interesting. Do you watch in episodic order, or by release date? Where does Rogue One fit in, and what about the cartoons that are considered canon?
Machete order? I lean mightily towards release date order, but the idea of treating the prequels like a flashback is interesting…
Timothy Zahn may deserve the credit for saving Star Wars. It’s been over 25 years since “Heir to the Empire” was published, and the enthusiasm over his literary trilogy resurrected the flat-lining franchise.
Read up about Leland Chee, the Jocasta Nu of our galaxy, and the guy responsible for deciding that his name is Pagetti Rook, not Weequay, or Queequay, or Queequay 2, or Queequeg. Pagetti Rook. It’s an actual thing.

By their own admission, Screen Rant’s 15 Bold Predictions For The Last Jedi is purposefully outlandish (i.e. they’re trying to predict the unpredictable). While I do think at least one will come to pass, it’s not meant to be a likely forecast of what will unfold on screen in seven months. Some of the predictions can probably be dismissed fairly quickly, however. I don’t think Disney is in a rush to remind us that the PT exists.
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have shared what they learned from the Hasbro team at Celebration Orlando regarding what vehicles would look like in the Vintage Collection if they return. While the news isn’t exactly rosy, now is the time to make your voice heard if you feel strongly about this segment of the line. Hasbro, the 3.75” scale exists because of vehicles. It’s two sides of the same coin.
The return of the Vintage Collection was announced last month at Celebration. In a dramatic presentation that built to a pregnant pause, the line’s return was heralded with one figure: a re-release Jakku Rey from Walmart’s exclusive 3.75” Black Series line. Hasbro, if you launch the line with that figure, we’re doomed. It has nothing to do with the source. It’s just the market. Hit the “read more” link for our thoughts.
Also, we realize the launch wave is probably locked in at this point, so we’re not expecting this article to change anything, but at least we’ll get to say “we told you so”. And that’s what the internet is for, after all.

An interesting take on Disney’s recently announced plans for 2019 domination by Forbes contributor Scott Mendolson. A May release would sound like a return to the comfort zone, but is Star Wars IX being sacrificed at the box office for the greater good of the House of Mouse?
