A bit of trivia from The Mandalorian, for those of you who were not entirely familiar with the whole universe :)

And, finally, maybe some good news on the Star Wars movie front! :)

They need to reboot the entire thing.

I saw it last night and could not agree more!

In case I am not the last one to see it I will use spoiler quotes

[spoiler]Turns out the rebels had overwhelming firepower and support with which they could have taken out the bad guys at any time.  The implication is their leadership, including the Skywalker siblings, were totally inept.

The only thing saving the good guys from their inept leadership is that Palpatine was a terrible father and grandfather.  But even so, his plan almost worked because the Skywalkers didn't do anything to help/protect the one person in the whole galaxy that mattered - even though they knew who and how important she was.

Lastly, it turns out Han and Leia really were terrible parents and didnt show love to their son until it was to late for him.

But lots of nice fan stroking to keep the fanbois from walking away completely.[/spoiler]

Meanwhile, in the New Yorker ...

Well, without a reboot that is exactly what you are going to get.

A full reboot of the entire series.

1-6 could be well done with a reboot assuming you had good people doing it, of course.

7-9 The story itself is such a mess, Im not sure what you could do in a reboot unless you REALLY rebooted....

No reboot, please. Just go elsewhere in the galaxy and do a tangentially-related story. The universe has room for plenty of shit besides a rehashed Skywalker tale.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Mandalorian--which people are inexplicably raving over--has very little attachment to the Skywalker tale. If they can make that work, they can make a film work. Disney does not lack for money or for talent.

I really, really hope Waititi takes the job.

Even Mandalorian had a connection to the EPIC BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL through baby Yoda.

That's not really Yoda as a baby. Just a member of the same race.
