Star Wars Sequelosophy

The Rise of Skywalker is exactly why I fell in love with #StarWars as a kid. It's exhilaratingly fun, messy, excessive - and I'm done apologising for loving it. My love letter to the end of the Skywalker Saga …. #TROS #SequelTrilogy medium.com/@sequelosoph...

Nope. I hate it. If the goal is just to replace Rey and Ben then I'm out.

So, this is why you don’t watch (or comment on) a new series on only 3 hours sleep. Just rewatched the first two episodes again and suddenly it all makes sense and has me super- engaged. Really loving Visions quest for his own humanity.

Stumbled across a reddit where they’re claiming the future of the Star Wars galaxy isn’t interesting because the sequels ”broke too much lore”. The more I’m reading it though, the more excited I get for the next trilogy, while my love for the sequels only gets stronger.

By design, the prequels were never necessary to enjoy the original Star Wars trilogy. It was actually the sequel trilogy that made them essential to the saga. Yet so many prequel fans refuse to accept the sequels - thus minimising the importance of the prequels. This is what’s on my mind at 1:01am

New look at Ahsoka in Season 2. God I CANNOT WAIT!

The people who hate it took their opinion from the Star Wars YouTuber they trust because the opinion felt right. Then they just defend it to the hilt like an idiot saying the sky isn't really blue. Spoiler alert - all YouTubers seek engagement & interaction for money so will always lean negatively.

maybe I'm reading the room wrong here and i'm sorry if so but I guess my point is some folks on here seem to view outsourcing as sort of inherently evil and it is not imo (provided that labour is part of a grouping that can represent their interests ofc, be that a codev outfit, a union or other)

Only 3 more months

Wait?! What the hell is PROJECT SPECTRE?!?

Cannot believe so many Americans are considering not voting. WTF else do you people need to make a decision. So glad that for Australians voting is not just a right, not just a privilege - it’s a fucking requirement of the democratic system.

Awesome news! Obviously lining it up to coincide with the next trilogy - but this has been a long time coming. www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2026/10/disn...

There's a third of the fucking “Saga” missing.

Have your sons read it too.

FIRST SUNDAY SKIRCLE WITH OVER 1K FOLLOWERS LET'S GOOOOOOO there are a buncha other people that aren't on here that I wish I was able to put on, but it'd be WAY bigger lmao just goes to show how many of yall I give a damn about, so thank ALL of you for the support 🫂

The recent Lanterns discourse has really stirred some sentiments about fandom, gatekeeping, and general audiences. All of it, of course, can be applied to Star Wars and it relates back to this short essay I wrote a few months ago. medium.com/@sequelosoph...

Thank you so much. I really can’t choose a favourite in the sequel trilogy - but The Rise of Skywalker is the one I cheer hardest for.

honestly their loss, they won't ever witness PEAK (which is all 3 of them, I love them equally)

Things I didn’t need to know: Cynical Grifter has yet another video whining about the ST. I wonder what that says about how his grift is going? Tyrone Magnus remains the ultimate grifter-cheerleader-pick-me asshole. Now listening to @forcecenterpod.bsky.social to cleanse my Star Wars loving soul.

I refuse to accept the oft-expressed online sentiment “No one hates Star Wars like a Star Wars fan”. It’s so fucking dismissive and encourages asshole people to be the fucking worst about the saga. Can we try on “No one ♥️ Star Wars more than a Star Wars fan” for a minute?

It really is fucking infuriating! I had it crafted and curated with insightful and Star Wars celebrating channels, then I accidentally clicked on a tangentially shit-take video and instantly Star Wars and Sequel hate began flooding my stream from grifters and “First Time Star Wars” tourists.

Wait! The chuds assured me the return of the Snyderverse was imminent. Are you telling me they got it wrong AGAIN?

Edge of the Abyss is incredible! I usually have a couple of books on the go, but Rebecca Roanhorse has me engaged in her Star Wars/pre-Andor world so deeply, I can barely put this down. The best part is that I’m not even halfway through. #StarWars #Andor @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social

We are all George McFly

Just finished Outlaws. What a game! Pure Star Wars awesomeness.

Will we finally get a #StarWars Starfighter teaser in October? Repost YES 🙏 Comment NO ☹️

“How the fuck did ‘they’ watch the movie with the chair facing away from the screen?” … is the least of my questions about this post.

Sorry Jackson. Hating on movies just for the cheap thrill of it or to make you feel smart is exactly what’s wrong with online film discourse.

“bUt n0 1 aKsEd 4 dis m0vIe“ is the most smooth-brain criticism, spat out and regurgitated by the incessantly online. I’m glad Gunn has called this shit out. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Another day and STILL no Starfighter teaser?!

Its literally not, though. I'm doing a rewatch now of every single Star Wars property and new or old, it's all enjoyable. There's so much fun and creativity. Go binge a season of LEGO something or other and stop being such a sad sack.

Widow’s Bay was fine. It‘s a show that has fun with the worn 1980’s horror tropes but also uses them as a crutch. A dash of Northern Exposure style humour is probably its biggest strength. Still, for all the hype, I was expecting something with a bit more punch. Midnight Mass was far superior, IMO.

Oh shit. Lanterns is up and I won’t get a chance to watch it until later …

Fuck yeah. This is the way.

What will make it predictably frustrating is that over the coming years people will realise this and use it to attack the new Kinberg trilogy. Stay strong sequel lovers. Call it out. Don’t let them rewrite history again. Don’t let them tear down another trilogy. Don’t let the cycle continue.

Complaints about the ST “no plan“ don’t realise how bold its development actually was. Lucasfilm chose to embrace the filmmaking process, empowering the creatives to build a trilogy of films that remained connected, yet were their own individual visions. This will one day get the kudos it deserves.

Wow. Hasbro must really hate the prequels.
