What about Hans Olo?

Speaking of Star Wars-y names, there's a small town in Scotland called Findo Gask. If that's not a Star Wars character's name, it should be.

In my travels I’ve driven past the turn off for Findo Gask many times and every time I thought that would be my chosen Star Wars universe character name.........just like Kirk Hammerton (near York) would be my chosen porn name.
 
Sgt Girth needs a different name to be a porn star????

If you need a crossover Star Wars/porn star name.... I give you...

Oh, Sgt Girth is nothing more than a work place nickname.......and that work place definitely isn’t in the porn industry!
 
Ah, Kit Fisto, of the sexy black speedos, Jedi pinup.

I have heard he sleeps in a sardine tin. Nothing sexy there.
 
I’ve watched all 9 episodes of Star Wars just recently and I have decided, on a personal level, that the 3 Disney films are not part of my particular Star Wars universe.........they have so many plot holes....well not so much holes as plot mine shafts, and moments of incredible stupidity that just piss all over the legacy of the films that came before them! They look good....how could they not be after all the cash that was spunked away on them, but the storylines are just awful...absolutely awful. Anyway Kit Fisto.......blatant porn name.....I bet he indulges in a bit of the old tentacle porn on the side!
 
I've now seen The Mandalorian, and really enjoyed it, I'd say it was the best SW spin-off so far. Jon Favreau has a handle on the material, and knew the best thing was to saturate the series in references to build its world, and it succeeded, if not brilliantly, then very satisfyingly. Not sure about a certain droid voice in the prison episode, took me out of the action somewhat, but the allusions to stuff like 7 Samurai and even Mary Poppins were pretty smart.

Happy to welcome Gina Carano to the SW Universe, too. Don't know what Werner Herzog was doing there, but nothing should surprise me about that man.
 
What's not often mentioned is that Lucas got his ideas from pirate, cowboy, and war movies, Flash Gordon, and some films he saw in school, like Kurosawa's. Later, he thought of making the next three movies with more gravitas by adding politics, but that only made the films awkward. The last trilogy was essentially directionless, with the ending of Rogue One standing out among the rest.

That's why out of all of the works made so far, it's not accidental that Mandalorian appears to be the other contemporary work that stands out, as it mines from the same westerns and samurai flicks.
 
Maybe it'll answer the pressing question of why Chewbacca called his son "Lumpy". Must constitute some form of verbal abuse.
 
The last film has long gone, the dvd has been out for some time and I still have no desire to watch it, so for me, the saga is incomplete. The last two movies I saw were rubbish and killed my interest in the franchise.

Lone Wolf and Cub springs to mind here.

You're missing little to nothing by not watching episode nine, I thought it was terrible.

I thought the two previous ones were ok but great, didn't like Rogue One and avoided Solo.

That Lego Holiday Special looks a bit rubbish to me.

Episode 9 looked great, and there were some really enjoyable moments, but it wasn't terribly memorable.

And the whole treasure hunt schtick was awful - looking for a thing which gave a clue to another thing, which then lined up perfectly with another thing when held up from precisely the right place (what are the chances). On the plus side, C3PO wasn't completely annoying, and actually helped with the plot.

Not seen Solo yet, but Rogue One is, for me at least, the 2nd or 3rd best Star Wars film so far. Seriously, it's that good.

As for your harsh words about the Lego Holiday Special - how very dare you!

I'm not sure I enjoyed any moments, I probably did at the time but can't recall any. I recall laughing out loud on several occasions, none of which were intended to be funny. Must of the intended laughs fell flat, apart from one line from C-3PO. There was too much plot, too many characters, too many scenes and it felt like an episode of Transformers or He-Man, such was the pacing and nonsensical plotting. It was also cynically engineered to rub the nostalgia nubs of the faithful - soundtrack dialled up to 11 in volume and drama, lot's of fanservice bullshit like Chewie getting a medal and Rey on Tattoine at the end. Bringing back Palpatine made no sense, though I did enjoy McDiarmid hamming it up again.

If you or anyone else got any enjoyment from it, well, I'm glad that someone did. To me it was actively bad and simultaneously both overload and a damp squib of an "conclusion" to a "saga" that ended in 1983 as far as I'm concerned.
