You could tell it wasn't [spoiler]Kenny Baker[/spoiler].

[It's like poetry, sort of. They rhyme™]

They tread a very fine-line [spoiler]when they go big with the mythic characters[/spoiler] and inevitably step over it, but I like that they at least put a bit of thought into it – even if it is indugling in the old It's like poetry, sort of. They rhyme™ – as [spoiler]Luke's last act intervention is a mirror of Vader's arrival at the climax of Rogue One: both are a tense, shadowy build-up to a reveal, and invole a solo run of cutting down the opposing hordes, while negotiating corridors and doors to reach the McGuffin (Plans/Grogu).[/spoiler]

All those years people doubted Boba Fett. The faithful knew.

Time there may have been, but there is the small matter of a big whooshy explosion right after he went skydiving.

Never underestimate the power of old man gas.

If we indulge and presume Palpatine managed to survive his fall –through whatever means– he still had plenty of time to get off the Death Star.

Luke managed to get his da, presumably to a lift that took them down the tower, then limped their way to the docking bay where they rested, shared a moment >Williams on harp<, before Luke dragged Vader's body onto the shuttle and took off in time for Yub Nub.

[Rangers of the New Republic]

Rangers of the New Republic is the best Star Wars title since Return of the Jedi.

Or in Ulster Scots*:

Can't stand the host but this was funny.

And Tartakovsky is hugely talented, what eejit at Disney burned that bridge?

George Lucas

It's a comic not a TV series.

Has to be the most violent thing Disney has ever released, though I'm bracing myself for that theory's imminent destruction.

Well ... since Disney owned the production companies Miramax and Hollywood Pictures, they did release Pulp Fiction and Judge Dredd – a film that's still owned by the Mouse.

I seem to remember that [spoiler]stormtroopers are all clones of the Fetts too? [/spoiler]

Only really during the Clone Wars. They had accelerated growth to mass produce soldiers so many would be in old-age by the time of the OT, by which time the established empire just employed norms. [spoiler]Boba didn't have accelerated growth – he was given the chance to grow-up normally as Jango's son.[/spoiler]

I'm sorry if I've missed something, but isn't [spoiler]Boba Fett dead[/spoiler]? 

[spoiler]Boba being alive[/spoiler] has been part of Star Wars lore for decades. If you don't see a body in Star Wars, death is never certain.

[spoiler]Going only by the evidence of what's presented in the OT, of all the characters to return Boba's is the most plausible: he wasn't struck a fatal blow; he has armour and a jet-pack, and Jabba's sail barge blew-up rather spectacularly over the mouth of the Sarlacc – all that fiery debris probably damaged it severely, or killed it.[/spoiler]

Actor David Prowse, who played Darth Vader in the first Star Wars trilogy, died of complications from Covid-19, his daughter has told UK newspapers. Prowse died Saturday at the age of 85, though a cause of death was not specified by his manager at that time.

In an interview with UK's The Sun, Prowse daughter Rachel confirmed that her father, who suffered from Alzheimer's, had been hospitalized for the last two weeks with Covid. Confirming the cause of death, Rachel Prowse said, "It's horrible that Covid restrictions meant we did not get to see him and say goodbye. But when we went to collect his stuff from the hospital the nurse said what a cool guy he was. He was such a larger-than-life character. He would have loved to see himself trending on Twitter."

I hesitate to use the word 'logic' in connection with SW fandom, but by that logic he was never 'resurrected', either, surely?

That holds until he appears in SOLO.
