“Follow my lead, Grogu” and here we are, still on Dagobah, around the Dagobah Playset, with its endless playing options 😬 This clamp here is attached to a lever on the other side of the tree. Apparently you can make Luke levitate (or anyone else, except maybe a Gamorrean Guard or the Rancor Keeper or any member of the Max Rebo band, but why would you have them do it on Dagobah anyway?) I am not sure if the whole mechanism is supposed to allow the lever to stay up when you put it there, in my case it falls down right away. In the picture you can also see the crates that can be levitated with another mechanism. The set also included an adaptor piece to be put into Artoo so he can be levitated via the same mechanism. Unfortunately that piece is missing (if you have that adapter and want to give it away, let me know). While I am at it, the Dagobah Training Luke figure has incredible articulation for its elbows, wrists, and shoulders and even comes with another set of hands—however the leg articulation is very poor: What you see here is the furthest I managed to bend Luke’s knee. I wonder what went wrong here. A word about he Dagobah Artoo: While this is not my favorite Astromech mold, this figure looks great with its weathering and overall paint app. Downside is that Artoo’s middle leg can’t be entirely retracted. #starwars #actionfigures #r2d2 #babyyoda #grogu #lukeskywalker #dagobah #dagobahplayset #kenner #thevintagecollection #blackseries https://www.instagram.com/p/CJWJn82ADG8/?igshid=19nqve50u53wp

Proposed Timeline for Sequel Repair

(Disclaimer: Obviously the plot of each of the following shows should be their own. But they should also take the time to fill in the gaps, plot holes, and basically screw ups the sequels caused. Again, if we can’t have a pocket timeline, we should at least get appropriate plot repair/retcon).

(And yes, there will be overlap between this and other post. But this blog is where I dump all my mental Star Wars related ramblings, so whatcha gonna do)? : P

*10 ABY: Mandalorian S3. 

- We learn Moff Gideon is one of the few inside men on Palpatine’s resurrection plan. We get details on how the Emperor used his own DNA, force abilities, etc to make the perfect new vessel. The series ends with Din visiting Grogu at Luke’s temple, and Snoke’s “birth” on Exegol. 

- There is overlap between Snoke’s mind and Palpatine’s. More accurately, Snoke is his own person, but has much of Palpatine’s feelings/memories. The sith cult/inside men are uncertain if it is their Emperor in a different body, a clone, or an entirely new person. To ensure the success of the plan, the cult puts off putting Snoke on the throne right away, and instead retains him for evaluation. Snoke though, despite being a mental mess, gives the order to kidnap as many infants as possible, to ensure an “entirely pure” army of new stormtroopers. 

*15 ABY: Ahsoka Series. 

- Ahsoka faces off against Thrawn, as he works to fully organize and restore the Empire. At the series close, Snoke appears from Exegol, and initiates his hostile take over of the Empire. He rebrands it under the banner of the First Order. 

- It is revealed that Snoke showed a high interest in “returning his master to life,” which caused the cult to concluded that he was not the Emperor, and that they would have to try again. They are uncertain as to how though, in light of Snoke being a “failure.” But Snoke then adds his DNA, and significant power, to the resurrection project. Through his efforts, he made the phantom clone of the Emperor that we see in ROS. (Maybe we could even get a Kamino throwback with Bobba, since he tends to lend the Empire and hand here and there for the right price anyway). Either way, the newly awakened Palpatine realizes his reformation will be too slow, and gives Snoke the order to rule over the Empire in his place, while he instructs him from the shadows. He makes it very clear that Snoke is “merely his puppet that he made to speak through.” He also orders his agent to “deal with his wayward lineage” (Aka, Rey’s parents). 

* 25 ABY: Book of Bobba series. 

- By now Palpatine and Snoke have collectively used their voices to lure Ben Solo to the darkside, and Luke’s temple is left in ruin. Din Jarin makes an appearance, as he wants Grogu found. He and Bobba are confronted by Luke, who simply tells them that, for Grogu’s sake, they must cease their search. However, he eventually relents, and takes only Din to see his son like figure. Luke explains that he and his students must move in utmost secrecy, as Snoke’s ability to reach across the galaxy and connect his mind to others is uncanny. 

- We get a flashback of Luke confronting Snoke immediately after the destruction of his temple in an effort to get Ben back. There’s a cool fight, in which Snoke is badly injured, but ultimately Luke is forced to retreat without Ben. Snoke reins destruction down on every place he thinks Luke his hiding, which brings Luke to the conclusion that he must not only go into hiding, but also give reason for Snoke chase him, without feeling a need to blow innocent people up in mass. Thus the map to Luke Skywalker, and his isolation began. 

- As a bonus, it would be cool if Han, Luke, and Bobba became an unlikely team to address the threat of a common enemy. Personally I like the idea of evil Mace Windu. But we’ll see. 

- Han and Lando also meet up at some point, and talk about how both of them lost a child to Snoke, with Ben having been turned, and Lando’s daughter having been kidnapped. 

- The series ends with Palpatine talking to Snoke on Exegol again. He tells him that he realizes he has a granddaughter, one who wasn’t a “disappointment like her father.” He explains to Snoke they can use her to fully resurrect him via a sith ritual (as his current form is still blind and corpse like). He also instructs Snoke to bring him Ben, as he is “ready to see his new apprentice.” However, Snoke realizes that even though he and the Emperor speak through each other, and have their thoughts overlap, that he is still far more than just a puppet. So he reminds Palpatine not only of the rule of two, but also that for as much as Palpatine made him, he also made Palpatine. And while Palpatine’s growth was slow, his was complete. And now that he had an apprentice, he didn’t need him. So Snoke, despite Palpatin’s protests and claim to authority over him, disables Palpatine’s reformation process, which traps him as the near talking corpse we see in ROS. He tells him that he won’t kill him if he continues to oversee the operations of Exegol, and doesn’t try anything funny. He then leaves, to take complete and total control of the First Order.  

* 30 ABY: Rangers of the New Republic. 

- Snoke is in full swing with his attempt to take over the galaxy. However, his efforts are scattered and constantly distracted by his obsession to find and kill Skywalker. Ever since their fight which left Snoke physically and emotionally vulnerable (not that he’d ever admit it) Snoke’s mind was bent on revenge. He was certain the mere existence of Skywalker would see everything he had worked for to be undone. We get some scenes (both current and flashbacks) of just how cruel the Supreme Leader was/is to his apprentice (Just to make his death in TLJ not only surprising, but feel like a good pay off). Snoke’s obsession with finding the map to Skywalker, draws attention to its existence for the show’s heroes. They find it and, with R2D2′s help, and arrive on Luke’s island. 

- As I described in another post, Luke puts on an act to try and make them leave and think nothing of him being there. And although much of this is because of Luke’s emotional suffering, it is also an evaluation. Through it, the Jedi Master quickly realizes that the ranger’s aren’t asking for him to be a public symbol of hope (as he can no longer do that for the above mentioned reasons) but someone who can accomplish a critical mission that would be impossible for anyone else. Luke explains a little bit more as to why he was isolated, why he had to be so careful, and why he won’t be trying to make a Jedi order anytime soon. But at the end of the day, he states that he would never actually abandon the galaxy to Snoke, and that this wasn’t the first time he’s snuck off to handle matters like this. And so we get another fun mission episode with Luke. During the mission, Luke recovers a file on a stormtrooper (who we see to be Jannah). He makes mention that Lando never gave up going to “all kinds of strange places in the galaxy” to find his lost daughter. Sensing through the force that this trooper might be the one, he takes the information. 

- At the end of the mission, Luke mindwipes the rangers’ memories of finding and working with him, and sends the file information about Jannah to Lando, and the map fragment out once again to distract Snoke, and guide the right people to him. Luke returns to the island. We see that the strain of having to turn on his force abilities for a mission, only to turn them off again right away to prevent Snoke from finding him, causes serious toll on his body.

- We get a scene where Snoke asks if the agent who had killed the Emperor’s son had ever been found. To which no is the answer. Snoke is agitated, but ultimately dismissive of this, and simply assures those around him that if he ever encountered the one he believed to be the Emperor’s granddaughter, he would see to it that she died. This would ensure that the phantom clone of Palpatine could never rise high enough to challenge his position as Supreme Leader.   

(I’m sure I’ll think of more to add to this. But these are the big ones for now: Establish First Order --> Make Snoke an actual character --> Establish the phantom Emperor --> Show that Luke hadn’t actually given up --> Solidify Rey’s lineage --> Make Lando not come off as a creeper).

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." Pirate 🏴‍☠️ Captains Log: Stardust ⭐️ Date May 4th 2022 Story Time: I worked at Lucas Film 🎞 I was the Associate Production Manager of Long-Form & Feature | Physical Production | I helped launch the TV division of Lucas. I was a production manager for the First Season of The Mandalorian - which is one of the reasons why I have my Grogu Yoga mascot Now in my Yoga photos and coaching classes. I flew back and forth to LA and also got to finish the last Star Wars Film 🎥 in London at Pinewood Studios in London. It was quite the experience. I wanted to work at Lucas since I was a child. It took years of applying and interviewing. I started sending resumes at age 16. There is a lot more cray cray and magic to this story and maybe one day I’ll be able to write it and publish it… without too much trouble 👿 But the end of the story is that I no longer am at Lucas and I moved on to different productions after they let me go in 2018 and now different careers paths as well. Side note 📝 - grateful to have the freedom to then work on the last Matrix Movie 🍿 because of being let go. So there’s that !!! Moral of the story is even when you have dream come true pathways and goals accomplished then to be ripped or taken away - there will still be more to dream and do. Always transforming and growing. #jediknight #mack #knight #mermaid #krystal #gratitude #attitude #lucasfilm #maythe4thbewithyou #starwars #solo #grogu #themandalorian #dreambig #dreamsdocometrue #r2d2 #saber #lightsaber #theforce #thematrix #elemental #alchemy #gold #green https://www.instagram.com/p/CdKWZI0rdxh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
