Oh, they’ll have Star Wars movies - they’re planning on one a year until roughly the end of time - they just won’t be an extension of the original films’ Skywalker family story that the prequel and current trilogies are. They’ll be like Rogue One - side stories (e.g. the announced Han Solo prequel movie/series) or new stories that won’t be “Star Wars movie#X: SomeTitle” format.

Oh, yeah. That only took until Iron Man 2 and (I’m told) Thor: The Dark World. I imagine no franchise is immune.

The Transformers franchise has been remarkably consistent.

I was being sarcastic. I’ve seen them all and I don’t think they dipped in quality. Some are good, some are so-so but they’ve been consistently like that.

Oh, I knew you were being sarcastic, but I wasn’t. Iron Man 2 wasn’t a patch on the first one.

And Iron Man 3 or Captain America 2?

There were relatively few Jedi for the scale of the galaxy. The vast majority of people would not have seen them and would not know anyone who had. I may be wrong but I don’t remember any reference to TV, newspapers or any other mass media in any of the films. They appear to get their news orally so the existence of the Jedi would easily be doubted. People haven’t seen them on TV.
Whether by FTL travel, wormholes or folding space, if you’re present at two events with a spacelike separation, you’re risking causality violations. Pray that the Novikov Consistency Principle holds.
Didn’t see them, in part because of the quality dip of Iron Man 2, but I do understand that those two are well-regarded. That’s why I said “dip” instead of “nosedive.” Also why I mentioned Cars 2 as an exemplar.

Jango was the original though. Since Boba was an unaltered clone of Jango, it’s not inaccurate to call the Clone Armies Bobas.

Thanks, that is a helpful term. It also explains why super-hero costumes in later films keep adding little hexes and scales and texture in the patches that used to be flat colors. (Batman, but especially Superman & Spider-man.)
I’d say the use of those pens as greeblies in Rogue One made them as “interesting” as the lens flares in JJ Abrams’ Trek. One or two might have been nice, but they went out of control.

As a member of the elite political class, Bail Organa has the very best health care system funded entirely by taxpayer dollars, and Obi-Wan is making do on the sort of health care the taxpayers can afford for themselves. just like here in the US

I don’t disagree - they overdid it in Rogue One. They’re supposed to add subtle visual interest, not be prominent parts of EVERY costume. When I noticed I was noticing them, I was annoyed.
If you watch the original movies, you’ll see them if you’re looking for them, but they’re not all over everything.

Me too, and I was still getting carded right up until early last year (and yes, I found shaving helped a lot too.)
Someone should start a dedicated “whisky drinkers” thread here.

I’ve never seen a Cars movie. Couldn’t understand the appeal.
I was early 30s until my beard went gray in the last two years. Now I look “40” to most people from what they say.
