Honestly I think overall the canon comics so far might even be better than the canon novels.

Oh it doesn't matter when they are, as long as they're canon with the movies. But that will be really cool.
Didn't even know there were comics. I have work to do.
edit: oh shit I meant to ask this in the EU thread lol

Is Anthony Daniels in the best shape of all of the OT characters?

Anthony Daniels is great.
Did anyone catch the breakdown of Lego episodes to movie episodes. 5 episodes of the show but 6 movies... which 2 movies are crammed into a single episode of the show?

So far we have Star Wars, Vader, and Leia that's set in that time period.
4th series Kanan is set during The Clone Wars.
5th series, Lando (out in July) is set between A New Hope and Empire.
6th series Shattered Empire is set post-ROTJ and that one is out in September.
We are also getting a post-ROTJ one off about Threepio in September as well.

My heart sort of breaks for Carrie. She looks much older than 58. Years of addiction has taken it's toll on her body. She once said she partied as hard as John Belushi back in the day. I believe she suffered a drug related stroke as well. Very sad, but I'm glad she's alive.
She does look happy now, and I love her affection with the fans. Can't believe she kissed a fan like that, he was all wanting more too haha. Go Carrie!

So everyone who went to the convention dressed as ice cream maker guy decided to pose together.
"The running of the Hoods".
I don't know why, but that struck me as the funniest thing on the team yet, although Carrie was awesome too. Poor JAT!

This is 99.99% why I'm seeing Avengers at midnight. The trailer reactions.
Otherwise I'd just go Saturday/Sunday morning.

I think C-P30 might be responsible for that typo.

If you go to a convention now a days you should take pictures with random masked people just in case it's someone famous.

Might want to skip the prequels (episodes 1 - 3) or at least watch them after the original trilogy or you will get a very bad first impression

Whatever one thinks of the prequels, I think the actual story is fine and important to the overall saga. I'm not sure why someone would just watch four through nine. The prequels are more like a mixed reaction season of an otherwise good TV show. Some like, some hate, but they're still worth watching just to know the full story.

Watch the prequels and make your own decisions on whether you like them or not.
Never bought into this "Pretend they don't exist!" nonsense

Oh my god I love them.So our new leads wandered the convention floor yesterday in masks.
Daisy Ridley wore a Bossk mask lol.

To me it's all pretty interchangeable in terms of quality. I don't think the prequels suck and the originals are great. It's not that clear-cut to me. My personal ranking would probably look something like this: 3 > 4 > 5 > 6 > 2 > 1. I think Phantom Menace and Clones are the worst two but I don't think that they're too much worse, enjoyment wise, than Jedi, but Revenge of the Sith is the most enjoyable to me personally. I rewatched Empire last night and I think it's pretty overrated. Great, but I think it's kind of slow at times with the standouts being Hoth and Escapism City. I think New Hope is better overall than Empire and Jedi, with the prequels kind of interspersed around them.
So yeah, not that cut and dry, at least not to me. I love the originals and grew up with them too but I guess I don't put them on the pedestal that some do-- which is sad because I fucking love those movies. I just think that they share some of the same positives and negatives with the prequels.
The tradition continues! I'd be doing the same thing.
Grats... make sure to watch them IV, V, VI, I, II, III
Naa... either way is fine. But you'll see most people suggesting this order.
Numbered order might be best for maximum hype buildup for VII, especially if you watched all of The Clone Wars and SW Rebels before you started IV, V, VI. That would take a lot of dedication though

Okay I am so fucking confuse now. I was going to watch in order/release date wise. All 6 episodes. but I should be watching 4,5,6 and then 1,2,3. Right?
Yes that is right, assuming you wanted to watch in released order.
Clearly GJ's goal was for new fans to watch them in 1,2,3,4,5,6 order but that's usually not how you'll usually see it suggested.
Who cares! Just watch all 6 and come up with your own thoughts on the matter
456,123 is the order they released.

I would watch them in the order of release. The originals came out first and have surprises that are admittedly squashed by the prequels but unless you don't know that Leia is Chewbacca's father it doesn't really matter. I do think the originals should be seen first though.

Just watch them in release order.
It's how almost everyone else in the world watched them - including the people who made them.

Daisy Ridley and John Boyega said they watched them for the first time I through VI.

Don't actually watch them like this if this is indeed your first time.
I don't think I'd let my kids watch them 1-6 the first time but hey, lots of younger people have been introduced to them that way... it's unavoidable.
If you know NOTHING about star wars go release order. If you have already been spoiled on some of the reveals from episode V and VI then watch them however you want.

Yeah, you're only going to get a full appreciation for the bombshells dropped in Empire and Jedi if you watch them in release order (4,5,6,1,2,3) the first go-around.
An entire generation of Star Wars fans watched them 1,2,3,4,5,6 though

If you happen to be completely Star Wars ignorant, watching them in 1-6 order should still be very interesting. Seeing Anakin fall to the Dark Side, and do some awful things, would be a tremendous shock. And seeing how he fell, adds more tension to all the OT duels. If Anakin can be turned by appealing to familial lose, you worry more about Luke. But I imagine most people know Darth Vader is Luke's father so basically the options are open.
I loved the OT growing up (born in 1985), but I honestly have no memory of the Darth Vader reveal in TESB. That has in no way diminished my love of that film. The reveal of Luke and Leia's relationship is a far worse thing to be spoiled by the PT.
I think there's an even more interesting question. Let's say you decide to show your kids the Saga in 1-6 order order, do watch the whole Clone Wars series in between AotC and RotS? It's a lot of material to get through, but it really adds a lot of depth.
