The only way to achieve this is by reinvesting in the innovative, risk-taking, great storytellers that Bob Iger cancelled on.

These are the people who pushed Star Wars forward and allowed it to reach wider audiences, beyond the lifelong fans like myself.

Just sitting here in Adelaide, Australia working on a story - more specifically, trying to figure out how the hell Kylo Ren acts when he’s…

…happy.

I'm reading through The High Republic, and I'm loving Vernestra's story.

The Acolyte left so much mystery surrounding her and Qimir. It's only right that we get to explore their dynamic.

I'm curious how it mirrors Osha and Sol's relationship. Theirs will only hit harder with a Jedi we already love

I do hope the buzz for The Hunt for Ben Solo results in Disney overturning that cancellation, as well as snowballing into them correcting other mistakes such as The Acolyte S2 and a sequel to Solo.

We just have to keep making our voices heard. If we can save one, we can save them all.

It would be cool if he ended up as the leader of Knights of Ren, but there are also many other interesting possibilities where the KoR get involved too.

Just having them involved would add so many interesting dynamics, while also leaving the story open so we don't have to expect Qimir to die.

a man in armor with a red scarf around his neck Alt: Cobb Vanth, a Sheriff on Tattooine, in Boba Fett's Mandalorian armour with a red scarf around his neck. He raises his eyebrows and right hand, with his index finger pointing upwards, facing the camera, as if to say "hold on a second" before walking off screen.

One of my favourite episodes of The Mandalorian.

The Aftermath trilogy was one of the first Star Wars books I picked up, so it was a full-circle moment seeing him appear in the first live-action Star Wars series.

I hope we get to see more Cobb Vanth in the future; his story isn't finished yet!

This is obviously not me saying everyone should want LFL to bring characters back, or even if LFL should.

I just don't think LFL should be held to the critera that "no more character revivals allowed" by themselves or Disney. It's not a rule that reflects the stories and lore of Star Wars itself.

At this point, characters cheating death is a part of the Star Wars mythos.

I don't love the trope and have many concerns when they do attempt it.

But because so many stories have already retroactively brought characters back, I don't see why LFL shouldn't pursue similar stories in the future.

Lots in the news lately about Kylo Ren, Ben Solo and the Knights of Ren.

I’m fortunate to have written several stories on those subjects:

THE RISE OF KYLO REN (young Ben Solo; lots of KoR lore)

LEGACY OF VADER - THE REIGN OF KYLO REN (Kylo as Supreme Leader, more KoR)

CRIMSON REIGN (KoR pre-Ben)

I can just imagine Osha and Qimir fighting over the KoR. Maybe Osha initially pushes the idea, but gets cold feet. Qimir might seem them as people he can manipulate, to help overthrow Plagueis, but Osha wants to start something new.

The possibilities are exciting. Disney better renew the show.

The Knights of Ren perfectly suit Qimir's ideology.

Just think of the possibilities. Osha and Qimir would definitely have disagreements on the KoR. But, they would have to form some alliance if they want to survive Plagueis.

The story potential is insane #RENEWTHEACOLYTE

I get why Lucasfilm prematurely announces new films once they get the greenlight now.

Apparently having a finished script isn't good enough for Disney, if they don't understand it.

🙏 Please, I'd be the second happiest person

I am still not over how crazy this run was

5 straight hours of some of the best Television you'll ever see.

Star Wars Celebration was so much fun, I already miss it! Still processing it all

I'm sorry I didn't live-post, I was having too much fun. Everyone was so nice!

I was lucky enough to get into all the main panels. Twice I was the last person let in. The Force was really with me

The meanings of the show are expressed subtly throughout, flying over people's heads.

Much like The Last Jedi, the show is polarising, as casual audiences who passively watched missed the deeper meaning and message.

Kendrick's performance will change the trajectory of music as TLJ did to film

People have called this The Last Jedi of Superbowls, and I couldn't agree more.

Kendrick subverts expectations by not playing his nostalgic songs and feeding into the audience's wants.

Instead, he tells a story introspective of himself and the moment. Using this to push the genre forward.

Studio Executives, take notes.

What makes Star Wars timeless is its deep core messages, packaged in a way that resonates with everyone.

To truly capture the magic of Star Wars, one must understand what inspired Lucas, as those foundations are the intergenerational stories relatable to everyone.

Nolfi gets it.

It is baffling how this series has not gotten a second season. It is the only Star Wars show from 2024 that seemed to reach mainstream, casual audiences, who seemed to have a much more positive reception than the online fandom.

It is just Star Wars entering new territory. It's not a bad thing; I am just unsure how I feel yet. I'll probably be over it once the film is out, like when they recast characters.

Most definitely, but neither were the main protagonists, and their characters were more experienced.

Star Wars has always used the main protagonist as a lens into the galaxy, and they normally start as a nobody who becomes a hero. And that just works better when the actor is someone fresh.

Ryan is a great actor; he would fit into the Star Wars universe perfectly.

Although, it would be weird having him play the main character. I really enjoyed Star Wars' tradition of having a lesser-known actor play the main role.

This thread is perfect, and also why I believe TLJ is possibly the best Star Wars movie of them all, and certainly should be in the debate for 3rd best at a minimum.

I love that this clearly points out that TFA boxed Rian Johnson into where he went just as much as he had his own agency.

Rewatch the The Empire Strikes Back and I think it's apparent that there was no other choice for Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi, given the events of The Force Awakens.

#SkeletonCrew is such a wonderful, marvellous show.

It's easily a top 3 Star Wars live-action series for me.

I was cheering, shouting, and getting teary-eyed throughout the finale.

It captured the essence of being a kid and discovering the franchise for the first time.

I would love to see the sequel era in animation.

Maybe a show set between TLJ and TROS, following the First Order-Resistance war and the main characters' growth between films.

Or a series about Luke's Jedi Academy, and Ben's fall to the dark side, and his relationship with his parents and Snoke.

I remember at Star Wars Celebration how excited Ray was to share Baylon's story.

Recasting feels appropriate in honouring his legacy by continuing the story of the character he was so passionate about.

This is by far my most anticipated film announcement.

Jim clearly has a story he wants to tell, and he wants to tell it right.

And with it being so disconnected from the Skywalker Saga, the possibilities are endless.

Hopefully, this ushers in a new era of Star Wars films with all new characters.
