Wait, what?

Yeah. Establishing that Jango was just a skilled mercenary with Mando armor -rather than an actual Mandalorian- was part of the Mandalorian retcon TCW went through was making all Mandos white, blond, and blue. Of course, I'm 90% sure Rebels and the new Mandalorian Series both contradict said retcon.

They did bring it back, so clearly Disney's attitudes changed.

Besides that, TROS was so fun I really can't be angry at Disney rn.

Spiderman better stay in the MCU/be shared with Sony's universe tho.

The rumor mill has some big news pertaining to Star Wars. Creator George Lucas allegedly wants to return to it, and isn't a happy camper about what has happened with Star Wars since he sold it. He believes Disney has made a mess of it so far.

I don't see how he could buy it back practically speaking, but if Disney would let him, he might write more for it or pull some strings to bring it back to how he wants it.

What are you trying to imply, the Prequels are a Shakespearean masterpiece with no faults whatsoever that was never hated and George Lucas is an extraordinary man that was totally not treated like dogshit over a couple of movies he made, no siree.

I’ve seen concept art from his work on the film.

There’s also artwork of Rey with a double bladed lightsaber, a Kylo Ren that looks exactly like Revan, and Hux stabbing himself with a lightsaber.

Some of the concept art for Trevorrows ROS is fucking cool, and tho there is no guarantee any of the scenes they depict would have been in the movie, it would have been interesting to see his version
