I never understood why they tried to put grand admiral Thrawn into Disney star wars if they weren't going to do the heir to the empire series. I read those books back in the day. They were really good. And maybe im just getting old, but i don't remember Ahsoka in the story... or space whales...

It is ceaselessly amusing that the best Star Wars content in the 21st century is anything not made by the multi-billion dollar corporation with unlimited resources and cutting edge technology.

But, oh mighty Despot, Kathleen Kennedy told me that there's no further source material post Episode 6 to pull from?? Don't tell me that Kathleen, the over-glorified coffee runner, was lying to me??

I actually read the Thrawn trilogy not that long ago. I wanted to experience the original sequel trilogy.

Thanks! I really enjoyed watching this, and I haven't even read the book. I'll have to pick it up sometime The best thing is seeing Han, Luke and Leia develop and work together, and seeing the setting treated with respect and restraint. One of the very worst thing about TFA was its lack of respect for the characters and the established worldbuilding. Disney was happy to blow up the New Republic and assassinate our OT heroes so the new story of Resistance vs First Order could be shoved in our faces. They didn't feel the need to build on what came before. That was always strange to me, given they paid through the nose for the rights to Star Wars, why would they immediately ruin everything people liked about it? At the time of TFA's release, I thought it might be worth it to wipe the slate clean if it would lead to a good story for the Sequel Trilogy. Obviously that didn't happen, and we pretty much got the worst of both worlds. A shitty story that also ruined the established setting and characters.

Off topic but, is your Danny Boyle video gone for good, or are you "re-tooling"?

Hey man, recently found your channel and binged 90% of it. Great stuff. I am also working on a space sci-fi/fantasy game story and was wondering if you are interested in giving it some critical analysis, thoughts and/or pointers. :) If so, please let me know and if not, don't worry, still appreciate your not just entertaining but also educational and eye-opening content.

Seriously, Despot, you should do a dive into the recent ‘War of the Worlds’ abomination. How the H.G Wells’ book and Orson Welles’ ‘show’ were truly cultural moments and important works that will impact the human race for generations to come, and how the recent attempts have always been vacant and empty gestures at piggybacking off of the accomplishments of what came before. I think it’s a cerebral enough subject for you to truly appreciate and expound upon.

This animation is horrendous. Looks like ReBoot or the animation in the Eiffel 65 video.

I have had many comments on my Force Awakens video asking about the provenance of the clips I used from this Heir to the Empire fan movie. This is a great adaptation of the books:
