Disney Changing Luke and Obi-Wan Again - This is Ridiculous: In the NEW CANON novel From a Certain Point of View The Return of the Jedi, Disney decides to make it so that Obi-Wan never told Luke about Vader because of the DARK SIDE IN HIM. This is the most absurd ridiculous bit of nonsense I've seen as of lately from Disney changing the Star Wars canon. I'm tired of this. Stop changing the story George Lucas wrote and interjecting your own made up garble, Disney. We should be preserving the story and only ENHANCING it, not changing key reasons as to why main characters did things. Do you agree or disagree? by Star Wars Theory

Even Plagueis and Yoda couldn't boost the show...Sadly. However... I believe if we got a show on Darth Zannah and Darth Bane, THE REAL ACOLYTE - fans would have wanted many more seasons.

There's tons to cover, but before I get to the finer detailed videos, here's my full breakdown along with my reaction and review of the first episode. Taking place several years after Return of the Jedi with Vader, Luke, and Palpatine, the Galaxy is in disarray. Sides of the universe wage on different belief systems and everything is pretty much just in turmoil. The show follows a lone gun slinger as he tracks down something extremely pivotal and never before seen in the Star Wars movies, comics, or shows. by Star Wars Theory
