Any Star Wars fans rejoicing at the return of TCW?

Just watched the first episode of the new final season - thoroughly enjoyed it!

Looking forward to see some CW era closure to the story arcs of Rex, Ahsoka, Darth Maul and perhaps some of the other prominent Jedi as we get closer to order 66 in the series!

Oh and Cad Bane... I wanna see more of him too! ? ? 

Official trailer here:



 
I got to the point when Asoka left the the Jedi council and walked off in a huff... I think that's the end of S5. I've heard the final season is epic though... Looks like a binge watch over a weekend for me...

Yeah that story arc at the end of S5 is pretty awesome - quite sad though!

I only watched CW starting in mid 2019, and am glad i'm not having to wait half a decade for the last season like the poor sods who watched it from day one... once S7 is done I may check out Rebels, though I have heard it's not quite as good.

I imagine the prequel trilogy will be vastly improved upon another watching having soaked up all the lore from TCW.. and i'm not even a big a prequel hater.

Oh I'm a how can I put it a big/real StarWars fan... mind you many people are I expect. I strictly OT though.. you can't beat Ep4,5 and 6 period... oh Rouge 1 too... those are by far the better movies..

Ah for sure mate, same. I would easily put Empire and Jedi in my top 10/20 films of all time.

Recently brought some of my old toys down from the loft for my 10 year old nephew who is getting into SW, was awesome to see them again... the really old ones from the 70s/80s, they are seriously massive toys ?

 
They don't make them like they used to that's for sure! I have quite a few of the old early 80's Hasbro ones...  there's a falcon still boxed and the electronic X-Wing with all the sounds... it's priceless, well to me it is... Let's not even start talking about Lego or Hot Toys.....

Ah nice, yeah keep um for sure, the value is only gonna go up...  I had the Falcon too, also 2 AT-ATs, AT-ST, rebel transport, B-Wing, Snow speeder... unfortunately I played the heck out of them when I was very young and they are fairly beat up with pieces missing, I think the Chicken-Walker is the only thing fully intact. Funny though how the proportion ratios are really off on some of the old toys...  on the other hand the Micro-Machine action fleet stuff from the mid 90s were pretty much spot on, those were great pieces! 

 
I will be watching it. Seen all of Clone wars, rebels and resistance. There is supposedly a sequel to Rebels coming next as well.

I've heard resistance was a bit of a flop... what did you think?

worst of them all but none of them started of particularly strongly and it didn't get to grow like other did.

I quite enjoyed CW right from the get go, though i did watch it in chronological order, so I think it actually had me watching some season 2 episodes first...  I didn't particularly like Ahsoka to begin with as she was a bit bratty and I was in the mindset of 'no.. Anakin did not have a padawan' - but it all sort of fits into place in the end and she even turns into quite a solid character.

Chronological order is better and makes it flow but took 3 years to be able to watch like like as it goes 216, 116,Movie (animated), 301, 302 then 101. Resistance never got 3 years and in Rebels they introduce Thrawn in season 3 who is amazing.

Ah yeah the blue fella right...  he keeps popping up on my youtube video suggestions, but yeah i'll defo give rebels a watch after S7 of CW for sure, if nothing else for the Vader/Ahsoka stuff, that all looks pretty epic. Unfortunately, I may or may not have already seen all that on YT ?.

you get all the SW and Marvel content with that right - how much is it?

 
It's £49.99 for the first year and then goes up to £59. The offer is valid until the 24th March as that's when it starts streaming. You get 4 screens too...

That aint bad at all, about 4 quid per month on the first year, gonna check it out...  if a lot of the content is in 4k then I may get it.

 
Yes 4K is the big selling point... if it's anything like Netflix 4K then all will be good.. I wonder if they will stream Dolby ATMOS too? That would be a killer over normal 5.1. 

But yeah just over £4/mth.... it's a no brainer

 
loved my old Star Wars toys, got pretty much the complete collection in the parents attic.  Kept all the boxes as a lad, late 80's came home from school one day to find dad had chucked them all out in one of his cleaning fits!!!

Eugh, that is freakin tragic mate, your 80s young self has my condolences...

So my brother an I are thinking about restoring the old B-wing at the moment, it's missing both wings and the cockpit canopy. Funnily enough there are quite a few shops on eBay pretty much dedicated to selling the old sw toy parts. But my brother actually works in rapid prototyping (3d printing) so he'd like to maybe go that route!

I brought all the micro machine action fleet stuff down last month for my nephew to check out, I think they are actually my favorite sw toys, even more so than all the old og stuff:

The proportions on these were pretty much perfect... except the B-wing, pretty sure the cockpit is slightly too big.
