You are right, that is certainly part of it! At least twice during the new movie, he leaned over to me and said “by the way, they stole that from one of the books” (he knows that I don’t know anything about the books, aside from the Thrawn trilogy).
 
Do you mean Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones? I thought they were the worst in the saga. The new film was very good, you could see why it was the last though. Finished very nicely I thought.
 
My ranking, from best to worst:
  1. Empire Strikes Back
  2. A New Hope
  3. Return of the Jedi
  4. The Force Awakens
  5. Rogue One
  6. Solo
  7. Phantom Menace
  8. The Rise of Skywalker
  9. Attack of the Clones
  10. Revenge of the Sith
  11. The Last Jedi
I haven’t watched the Mandalorian espisodes but I will do so between Christmas and New Years. 🙂 I hear it is pretty good.

Also, I feel a little bit bad for the Rise of Skywalker because part of what makes it not a good movie was that it transitioned scenes and moved between characters so quickly, but the Last Jedi is largely to blame for that because almost nothing happened in the second movie to advance the plot, so they basically had 2 movies in order to finish a trilogy.

Baby Yoda is now one of my favorite characters.

Admiral Ackbar was my childhood favorite but he got knocked off with barely a word. I always loved the Mon Calamari and their ship design.

Wait… maybe that’s why they want the Baby Yoda in the show?

Fair point. We saw Baby Yoda try to heal Mando in episode 2 or 3 and then successfully heal Apollo Creed in episode 7
 
Does this mean there will be a rematch against Sith Lord Ivan Drago?

Question: in either ep.4 or 5 there is a scene where Obi makes a comment that if Luke goes to the dark side, there is one other. At the time, everyone assumed he was referring to Leia…but Leia never really had or used the force. Could they now be implying that Rey is that other? The writers or Lukas may not have meant Rey at the time but have now tied the idea together?

@Pattylt @Joe_5859 It is Leia being referred to. A big part of the storyline of Rise of Skywalker is showing that she’s a Jedi (by taking on an apprentice in Rey, who finishes Leia’s Jedi training). Here are interviews with the RoS co-writer explaining how they had to put Leia into “the Jedi pantheon” to fulfill that line:

“…I suppose our main goal of those first few weeks — because we were working largely with the Leia footage — was to fulfill the promise of “there is another” in this film. It has to put Leia into the Jedi pantheon. To do that without new footage of Leia was challenging, but that became the central story of Rey finishing the Jedi journey of Leia. That way, by the end of the film, Leia could join Luke as a Force Ghost and spiritually join her father and all the other Jedi. While you only see the twins in that moment, we thought that would give Leia more centrality, and you would really feel the strength of seeing Leia in the Jedi afterlife for the first time.”

‘Star Wars’ Co-Writer Chris Terrio Sets Record Straight on Perceived ‘Last Jedi’ Jabs

Chris Terrio dives deep into 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' spoilers, including the debates over that final shot, Kelly Marie Tran’s diminished screentime, and arguments the film is a repudiation of Rian Johnson:
www.hollywoodreporter.com www.hollywoodreporter.com

"In terms of the specifics of the story, Terrio and Abrams decided that “The Rise of Skywalker” needed to fulfill a promise of “there is another” that was established in George Lucas’ original “Star Wars” trilogy, the idea that Leia too has great strength with the Force and needed to herself “join the Jedi pantheon.” He added that they even discussed this idea with Lucas himself.

“The force runs strong in that family, but Leia is as strong as Luke and she could be a great Jedi, but she chose a different life as a senator, then as a general, but she also had a Jedi path in front of her at one time,” Terrio said. “We discussed it with George early on, the promise of Leia. So we had the challenge of trying to put Leia in the Jedi pantheon and make this film really about Leia ascending to join her brother, but do it without Carrie. So we came upon the idea of there was someone who would finish Leia’s Jedi training for her."

In between Ep 3 and Ep 4, watch Solo, then Rogue One, chronologically.
