Just watched Rogue One, aka “Andor Season 3.”

ANDOR FINALE! Nearly perfect, except that idealized motherhood shot at the end.

Still watching Andor (Don't Spoil!). I'm guessing that everyone not in Rogue One dies.

I was today years old when I learned this! I might have included it in my book (and then have to cut it, along with 16,000 words in the penultimate version).

Star Wars came around at a sweet spot for both protecting white status quo and expanding minority representations--and it ultimately favored tokenism. With the sequel trilogy liberals were hopeful they could make changes, but that failed.

I agree with John. He knows.

DSWTWP (Deep Star Wars Thought While Peeing): By putting Hayden Christensen at the end of Return of the Jedi, George Lucas actually made the whole prequel era UNNECESSARY. Knowing what young Anakin looked like means newcomers can skip everything before his fall.

in my opinion, Lucasfilm should:

Step 1: Invest in underrepresented talent at the helm.
Step 2: Show John Boyega the money (and riders).
Step 3: Collect the Non-Deplorable Money!
