Disney has three new Star Wars movies planned to follow The Rise of Skywalker

[OutlawCecil]

They just GOTTA run every successful movie into the ground with squeals... don't they.

Alien vs Venom. Disney, get to work.

And Terminator vs. The Predator

I wouldn't mind a Star Wars trilogy (or more) covering Darth Vader's life from his early days up to New Hope. At the end of Rogue One, fans were left wowed and wanting more after seeing Vader's brutality as he slaughtered his way through the Rebel guards trying to get the Death Star plans off the ship. Right there proves that there's a great backstory to flesh out for him.

As long as they don't screw it up, like we've seen happen too many times with the other films.

Um.... those were made already... JarJar anyone?

The hell are you talking about? I didn't say Anakin's life. I said Vader's. There's a big difference. Read the post again and try to follow along, Festus.

Anakin IS Vader.... but whatever...

I accept your surrender.

You're now dismissed.

That is the time period covered by the animated series Star Wars: Rebels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Rebels I believe all of the series is out on disk and will probably stream on Disney's service when it starts. It does not specifically cover Vader, however, he does appear in it; to what extent he appears, I cannot say.

I have seen virtually all of Star Wars: The Clone Wars which takes place between Episodes II and III. Personally, I think The Clone Wars is among the best, if not the best, of the Star Wars material that I have seen.

At some point in the next few months, I plan on getting Star Wars: Rebels from my local library. It has won critical acclaim, and, to some extent, it carries over a character from The Clone Wars - Anakin's padawan. Her character was a major character in The Clone Wars and won critical acclaim. She is not at all like Rey.

From what little I know about you, I wonder whether you would like either of these series. Some comments that I have seen on IMDB make statements along the lines of them being too left. I'll recommend you check them out, however.

The reason why I like them is that they tell a far more intricate story and contain significant amounts of character development that could never be done in a movie. The Clone Wars has a distinctive tone that I found to be nowhere near the soap-opera like character of the movies. Also, the series covers a lot of Anakin's development before he became Vader.

IMO, Anakin's development in The Clone Wars does not mesh well with how he is portrayed in Episode III. There is quite a bit of humor, lots of action, and intrigue, too, as well as quite a bit more than Anakin's character development. There is a significant amount of backstory that fills the large gap between Episodes II and III.

Thanks for info. I've read in other places that Clone Wars was excellently done and a favorite among fans. I'll check it out.

As for the politics that you mention, it's obvious to everyone that the current films ham-fistedly and heavily went into PC girl-power & identity politics, which torqued a lot of fans. Oh well...that's the fad we're in right now...and the SW films & makers take a deserved beating for it. Disney isn't gaining any fans right now playing that game...and there's a lot of worry about what they'll do to the Marvel superhero films that have been remarkably well-balanced and well done during their decade-long run (though Capt Marvel may be a portent).

Anyway...I grew up with SW and am a fan, but I never really delved deep into it, except to see the movies. But after watching the marathon of SW movies last weekend, I started watching some of the fan-made stuff on Youtube and ran into some good stuff about Vader (my favorite) that made me want to see more about his backstory.

Check this video out to see what I mean. THIS is the lightsaber battle between Vader & Kenobi we should have gotten in SW, as it shows Vader in a much truer menacing & brutal manner, as well as jiving better with the saber battles we saw in later films that had the benefit of CGI:

Pleasure talking to you.

I suggest that you find and watch the 90-min movie first. It explains how Anakin's padawan comes into the picture, and if you do not watch that first, you may wonder, "How did she get here?" as I did before I watched the movie.

For now,The Clone Wars series and the move are on Netflix. Being a SW fan, I would bet that you will like it. As I said, I thought it was excellent. I will go so far as to say that I think it is far better than the movies.

The battle droids are a quite humorous, IMO, and it is almost worth watching just for them, alone.

I'll also add, grit your teeth and endure the few episodes with Jar Jar Binks. IMO, though he is cringe worthy, his character is much deeper than he was portrayed in the movies, at least as I see his character.

IMO, although I do like Rey's character (mostly because I am attracted to the mystical and I think that is what those who dislike her at least partly object to because without that attraction they tend to discount that aspect as BS - yes, I am a bit odd ), Rey, in comparison to Anakin's padawan, is rather shallow - probably because the movie simply cannot do a similar level of character development as they did with Anakin's padawan in The Clone Wars. In a way, Anakin's padawan is a lot like Anakin.

And yes, The Clone Wars was a critical success as I believe Rebels is, too.

What I will say about the mystical aspect is that one might gain some insight into it one investigates the very broad, scientifically validated, and proven topic of lucid dreaming which is when someone is actually asleep and dreaming, yet they know they are dreaming and, well, I'll just say that for those adept at lucid dreaming, there is a world of things that can be done that cannot be done while awake. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream

Christoper Nolan's, IMO excellent movie, Inception was based on the concept of lucid dreaming https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1 Although one might be skeptical of it, there is a proven basis for lucid dreaming.

Some people lucid dream naturally, probably more do not. Alice In Wonderland was probably inspired by a dream or perhaps by lucid dreaming, and IMO, lucid dreaming is called by many other names such as shamanic journeying. (Uh oh, perhaps I should not have said shamanic. )

As far as the Marvel movies go, I liked Doctor Strange - again because of the mystical, and I liked all the Captain America movies the best. For me, the best of the Marvel universe is in Agents of Shield (especially the last two seasons) and Cloak and Dagger - ATM. Being TV serials and they can tell a much better story, IMO, than any of the movies can.

Pleasure talking to you.

Likewise.
