I turned 45 today aka the same age as Darth Vader in ROTJ.

oh he did? well at least he redeemed himself, how did he go out?

I'm not too familiar with Legends post ROTJ, but I did recently listen to the OG Thrawn Trilogy, and I vaguely know about the Vong but idk the whole story with them

My answer: Leia rescuing Han in ROTJ. My fiance says I'm the one people should worry about, while he's the voice of reason.

yoda is an instrumental character in ESB who gets a glorified cameo in ROTJ because Lucas wasn't the biggest fan of Yoda and they basically had to insert a Yoda scene at the last minute. Hell, Vader doesn't even start out as Luke's father!

So Kade is the star of starfighter, Rey will "be part of" a new sequel trilogy but not the main character? Yeah. Luke found Mara during his travels after ROTJ.
Jon Watts is set to direct ‘STAR WARS: EPISODE 10’.

The film is intended to be the beginning of a new trilogy in the Skywalker Saga.

Hey, #Disney - all the Skywalkers are dead now, if you hadn't noticed, and ROTJ-era Luke was an unfuckable bore so unless we're getting a story that starts with a flashback of him walking out of the local sperm donation clinic on Ahch-To, then no, stop it.

Disney has reportedly picked Spider-Man director Jon Watts to helm the first movie in Simon Kinberg's new Star Wars trilogy as it plots out the next chapter in the Skywalker Saga. https://bit.ly/4yiAvOi

Love the idea of Strange Brew-era Max von Sydow just out of camera range during the Rebel Alliance meeting in ROTJ.

If places like here and Twitter existed in the ESB and ROTJ days both Irvin Kershner and Richard Marquand would have gotten a similar response to what Watts has gotten,

Marquand in particular would've gotten a very negative response as many fans would've wanted Spielberg to direct Jedi after Indy

Haven't seen it but I'm sure a continuation years after is not worse than that song in ROTJ.

The only plausible very-early-childhood triggers for mine are the slave Leia bikini in the RotJ VHS set we had when I was very little, a movie I saw so young and so often that it sunk deep into my brain as something that always was.

I’m okay with post-ROTJ stuff. Aside from Maul: Shadow Lord, I’m done with the Clone Wars and Imperial eras.
September 27, 2026 at 11:44 PM
You mean RotJ, right? I agree btw
September 27, 2026 at 7:20 PM
Honestly, that was one of the least problematic parts of the movie. Sure, it'd be reasonable to assume one of her parents were a Jedi (or an Order washout), given that Force-Sensitivity is genetic (and has been so since at least RotJ)- but most Jedi/washouts *were* nobodies

toy show haul!

Watching the new HeMan movie
...
There's a scene that's 100% a rip off of Return of the Jedi
Star Wars Rotj Speeder Bike Chase Return Of The Jedi

it also didn't make any sense

it's like if RotJ ended with "my name's Luke... Luke Yoda"
September 27, 2026 at 3:35 PM
Reading stars war comics published before rotj just to see how much retroactive incest there was
September 27, 2026 at 2:36 PM
Dunno. I enjoyed most of the post-ROTJ EU a lot. Luke restoring the Order and becoming Grandmaster, finding love and having a family with Mara Jade, Han and Leia's relationship surviving crisis after crisis and some truly devastating losses. IMO Those stories enrich the universe immensely.
September 27, 2026 at 2:35 PM
In fact, the whole reason there was a Thrawn Trilogy and then Disney's decided to do a sequel trilogy is that Lucas at one point said he wanted to do nine but changed his mind again during the production of ROTJ. Sequel Trilogy became a zombie concept at Lucasfilm, lurking long after it was dead.
September 27, 2026 at 1:59 PM
The OT only became a trilogy when ESB's budget and schedule issues wrecked his life and finances and generally made him miserable despite handing the director's chair to someone else. It's why ROTJ is basically a revision of the original 1st script & has weird twists like Luke & Leia being siblings.
September 27, 2026 at 1:59 PM
well no between RotJ and Force Awakens it was actually a time of guerrilla warfare between remnant empire terrorists and Leia's clandestine army that she had to form because the new republic decided to demilitarize after the empire because the sequel trilogy is fucking stupid
September 27, 2026 at 1:33 PM
Really is one of the weirder fandoms in that people who haven't enjoyed anything the franchise has done since ROTJ keep insisting they still like it lol
