+====== Star Wars ======
+Star Wars is a multi-media franchise started by George Lucas with the release of the first film, then called ‘Star Wars’.\\
+Currently, it is owned and painfully mismanaged by Disney.
+{{tags>films}}
+===== Notes =====
+==== Disney Canon Versus True Canon ====
+I don't recognize anything that was created by Disney to be canon. As far as I'm concerned, the old Expanded Universe (or ‘Legends’) //is// canon. For this reason...I'm just not really gonna talk about it at all.
+This also applies to //The Clone Wars// – the 3D animated show – which I don't recognize as canon either. Disney's canon is built entirely around that show and, well, it ended up breaking everything when it came out.
+My perspective is that Disney canon (and The Clone Wars) should be eliminated from canon, with the original EU being used as a foundation for new content instead.
+If you're interested in my reasonings why, I'll link a few relevant videos here. But for a channel that has proper Star Wars lore, focused around the EU, go to [[youch>UCasMdKScKyT_54DmQkN6NYg|Manda-LORE]].
+++++ Relevant Videos |
+All of these videos are concerned with The Clone Wars. The first four are created by Manda-LORE and are focused around how it doesn't fit into the EU/Legends, or are just focused on EU-related stuff.\\
+The latter two videos are just a retrospective/review of The Clone Wars and are, generally, of a lower quality. There is (or will be at some point) a section in Speculah concerned with an argument from the second video.

+===== Reviews =====
+I'll keep it //mostly// barebones for now.
+==== Overall ====
+The franchise overall is very good, I'd say. Though with notable hiccups.
+==== Original Trilogy ====
+I think that the original trilogy is...good, though not //as// good as it's often made out to be.
+Episode VI is obviously the weakest and the least sensical, though it's debatable just how bad it is.
+I really don't have that much to say, honestly.
+==== Prequel Trilogy ====
+Having grown up watching these films, I have a slight bias towards them. However...I //do// think that much of the frequently-levied criticism towards these films is not valid.
+A lot of strange decisions were made during the production of these films, but it's also clear that a lot of thought went into it as well.
+Among the things that I'd say were good:
+  * The fact the Jedi Order is not really that great and, in fact, kinda //bad//.
+  * The fact the Republic was corrupt, which allowed the Clone Wars to happen and the consequent rise of the Empire.
+  * The political intrigue, though...meh.
+Among the things that I'd say were bad:
+  * The acting is really weird, though to what extent this is bad is debatable. There are times when you could argue it's intentional and kinda good.
+  * The Clone Wars lasting just a few short years is unusual.
+  * Palpatine's plan is convoluted and pretty weird all things considered.
+  * Darth JarJar being abandoned.
+  * The tech level between the Prequels and Originals possibly being in discord.
+But that's all I'll say for now. I have a preference for the Clone Wars era, however.
