    More that I think of it, this might be quite entertaining. But Disney needs to stop oversaturating the market at some point.

    Won't be any time soon, with them planning more spin-offs, two new trilogies, and some TV series/movies for their new streaming service. It's only going to get more and more oversaturated.

    That said the next movie release after Solo will be december 2019, so the over saturating does seem a tad over the top.

    So far they have delivered better stuff than the great GL himself. Just IMHO ;)

    Better than the prequels, sure, but that’s not saying much.

    The early Disney Animated films when analysed are quite Sinister

    Fantasia is better than any SW movie. It s a sublime work of art.

    Yeah you're bang on the money there. TFA and TLJ simply shit all over the original trilogy don't they?

    The recent trilogy films so far are an insult

    I watch the OT with my 2 year old. She is fascinated by them. Nothing beyond 1983 comes even remotely close imo. They’re truly brilliant pieces of cinema.

    The Original Trilogy has heart and simple story telling, the last film was a wreck it's poor attempt to be subversive falls flat, Mark Hamill deserved better

    On this day in 1973, Lucas started writing on "THE STAR WARS".

    I heard about that at the weekend I think it's the only way they can go, certainly with Fishers passing and Hamill seemingly not interested in returning for Episode IX

    I wonder if there will be jokes based on what we know happens later. For example, Qi’Ra asks Han if he has kids, and he could reply ‘hell no, I’d drive them crazy and they’d probably kill me’

    The prequels did a bit of that, like when C-3PO said there’s no way he’d ever get in a starship :)

    There could be some fun there

    There's already the "I thought we were in trouble but it's fine, we're fine" line calling forward to Han's "We're all fine... here... now... How are you?" in A New Hope.

    If there are lines like that, I want them to tone it down a little compared to the prequels.

    Heard about it, found it on YouTube. Or how did Britain built the Star Wars galaxy :

    Hopefully not, I hate those kind of jokes.

    Good to see some of that archive footage @Gerard. I do remember the marquee front at Leicester Square which looked rather glitzy at the time. There was a similar one on the front of the Dominion Theatre that was also showing the movie as well. Somewhat bizarre that the presenter and BBC TV documentary maker David Whiteley didn't know Star Wars was made in Britain. What a dork!!

    Wasn't so interested by the later stuff when SW became Disneyfied, but the original content is worth a look.

    The one that stands out the most to me, and is in line with your idea, is in AOTC when Obi-Wan asks Anakin, "Why do I have a feeling you'll be the death of me?"
