    We really should have realised how awful Star Wars fans are decades earlier than we did.

    maybe but that’s not what the article is about


    Lisa is also eager to dispel what she says is a common misconception: that an avalanche of negative reaction to "The Phantom Menace" drove Jake to quit acting and contributed to his mental illness.

    “It would have happened anyway,” Lisa insists, pointing to a history of schizophrenia on his biological father’s side of the family. “I believe that it was genetic. And his psychiatrist also agrees that Jake was going to become schizophrenic.”

    This season of Bad Batch is by far the best of the three so far, IMO. Two more episodes today and it's around the halfway point.

    Truman is this same timeline as the new novels? Because that’s the high republic right? Thought it was further back than 100 years.

    I’m assuming the consensus of this thread is fully have it based on unknown characters. Or at least unknown to the average fan who hasn’t read any of the books in that era.
    But that said I wonder if they’ll show Yoda.

    And based off that trailer he should.

    I just hope they don’t make him a primary focus of it.

    He looked like a 70s stoner in Episode 1. They should give him a crewcut and make him a straight-laced 1950s stern dad-type.

    Imo, the best way to handle that would be to retcon that line as the council/Jedi in general being in denial, perhaps even covering up certain events to maintain the illusion that everything is fine in JediLand.

    Sort of like how the Ministry of Magic treated the return of Voldemort in Order of the Phoenix.

    just ignore it and if any nerd asks say it was hyperbole.

    That's not even a retcon. I think the Jedi being so naive, to the point they didnt see the Sith/ Darth Sidius coming is a huge plot point.

    Yeah, but my point was it will be hard to (honestly) claim ignorance/naivete when a red-saber-wielding force baddie is killing Jedi. Granted, that might not be how the story unfolds, but if it is, it would make sense that the Jedi would try to cover it up rather than admit their mortal enemy is back.

    It's barely a movie. Movies are coherent.

    ROS was a collection of scenes, hastily edited together with nothing to say.
