Also, I always thought that with palpatine, he was trading his youth for power. Like how magic always has a cost, or one of those faustian deals. He grew more powerful but it drained his lifeforce and made him age tremendously inorder to release all that power. that power did of course subsequently leave him alive for a long time, but always looking like that.
Honestly, I always felt that was something really dumb in the prequels. When we see him as a younger man we are all thinking, makes sense this is him young and later he is old. he would just age into looking older later (like Obi Wan, Greedo, Darth Vader, Luke, ect). That would have made perfect sense. But no, Lucas wanted us to end right up to where we begin in a new hope as much as possible even if there was still 18 years till we get there.

I have from a reputable source that the Boba Fett idea was originally Lucas's waaaaaay back when Cartoon Network did the Clone Wars 2D animated shorts. The idea was originally for a TV series. He even approached Genndy Tartakovsky (producer of said CN shorts) with the idea.Nemesis Maximo wrote:william-james88 wrote:I am really confused.

The Boba Fett movie was never actually announced as being in development, and neither was the Obi-Wan movie. Honestly, I think all the Boba Fett film rumors were more tied to this show than anything else.
But also, Kathleen Kennedy has no idea what she wants to do with the franchise. That’s what gives.

Episode 7 and Rogue One made a lot, but they came out close to each other, and Episode 8 was on the way as well. I think people were starting to get Star Wars fatigue, and unfortunately Solo was the one that suffered, instead of the POS that Episode 8 was. But IMO, Solo is 2nd only behind Rogue One in terms of quality storytelling, and way ahead of both Episodes 7 and 8. I hope it gets a sequel, telling the story of how Han and Chewie got mixed up with Jabba, and having it end at the bar in Mos Eisley right before Han SHOOTS FIRST and kills Greedo.
