Minor quibble - Vader's daughter was not on board the MF upon arrival at the Death Star
I've always wondered what Lucas was thinking when he came up with the idea that Anakin built C-3PO. I could always go through some mental gymnastics to reconcile the other stuff, but that was so unnecessary.
The thought was nothing more than "how can I shoehorn in another character from the OT?"
Sure, but of all the ways to shoehorn 3PO, "He will be built by a 10 year old Darth Vader" should have been at the absolute bottom of the list.

Other minor quibble: this "most powerful Jedi in the galaxy who can bring balance to The Force" interrogated his own daughter and couldn't pick up that she was, in fact, his own daughter.
Couldn't pick up that his son was suddenly on the Death Star. Only got a slight buzz about Obi Wan.
To be fair, he spent 20 years with Obi-Wan, and zero minutes with either of his kids after they were born.
But he's the most powerful Jedi ever!!!!!

Plus he didn't know he even had kids at that point.
I don't know if any of y'all caught the Eagles/Bills game on Sunday, but this is spot on:
How did I not see that? That's hilarious
Strollin' up into Jabba's palace like it ain't no thang.

That's one of the coolest things I've seen

Disney lawsuit in 5 .... 4 .... 3 .....
They have to protect their investment, much like we protect the 12th Man trademark.
More accurate title should have been Luke Skywalker and the Bad Hit of Acid
Dave Filoni & Lynwen Brennan will reportedly replace Kathleen Kennedy as the new Co-Presidents of Lucasfilm.

Brennan is getting promoted from General Manager and will oversee executive duties, while Filoni will lead all creative development.

Filoni and Brennan Become Jedi Masters at Lucasfilm
In the next week or two, Disney will finally confirm what we've all known for months: Kathleen Kennedy is indeed stepping down as Lucasfilm president, and Dave Filoni, currently the chief creative officer of the Star Wars unit, will be elevated into the top job. (Simon Halls, Kennedy's personal publicist, has already set up her cushy exit interview… I'm sure the Pulitzer committee is standing by for that piece of journalism.) Filoni has never really been a traditional executive, so they're giving him a partner in Lynwen Brennan, currently president and general manager of Lucasfilm Business, but he'll be the decider on the creative direction of the franchise in film, television, and any other platforms in the galaxy.
Well, now I need TexAgs to tell me how I need to view this.

All I can tell you is that having co-CEOs seems to be a trend in corporate America right now. Have seen multiple examples of this in the last year. It will run its course in due time like all other corporate trends.
Dave makes the most sense from a "continuity" perspective, bridging all the eras. He at least understands the material and the fans. He'll need some people who are strong in screen writing for the movies side
No opinion to offer about the other guy

Wait, the article refers to Brennan as a "he". Perhaps Lucasfilm needs a biologist? /no idea who Brennan is, or what gender Brennan is

It's ok. People can claim whatever gender they want on any given day despite their physical anatomy.

What's weird about that is their whole OpenAI deal that seems like such a terrible decision.

It's great actually. Now there are two people to blame when something flops/sucks/misses.
Double Talkin' Jive...
I am kinda 'Meh' on the news. I have come to the conclusion Star Wars needs a major time jump forward or backwards.
I'd prefer backwards (lots of Sith, lots of Jedi, more other force groups) and just tell a brand new story without any baggage from the previous 50 years. I think this would give a lot of flexibility in story telling and exploring new ideas.
This pairing seems unlikely to do something, other than maintaining status quo with minor course corrections.

I was laid up on the couch for days last week after throwing out my back and decided, "Hey…my 7 year old is trying to play Knights of the Old Republic on the Switch and he sucks at it…..kinda makes me wants to play it again."
So I'm about 10 hours in and good grief this thing would print money if Lucasfilm was smart enough to actually listen to fans and get out of their own way….
Kinda wondering with what we're seeing with Doomsday if that ends up making a bucketload of money if Star Wars under Disney does something similar….
