Where else but in Britain could there be a 'Winspit Quarry near Worth Matravers'?

Yeah, after the second season of The Mandalorian and that dreadful latest Star Wars trilogy, along with the flop Han Solo movie - I think I could care less.

The ending of the second season was great, though (the first moment where the new management understood what SW fans really want). And I liked Rogue One.

The new trilogy is dreadful, and I wonder who thought that we needed a Han Solo movie.

Your mileage may vary I suppose.

But I really disliked that they changed the 'internal rules' for the Star Wars universe.

I also disliked that the ending kind of changed the reason for the original movie.

"Dig deep. We will build the temple here."

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and smiled.

Wasn't the ending supposed to "fix" the biggest problem of the OM (the Death Star's vulnerability)? IMHO "Rogue One" found a nifty solution for that. I watched it on Blue-ray and then rewatched the OM, and the overall plot clicked surprisingly well.
