Welcome to the Monday chat corner.

The topic of this week is the movie Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, the last film of the Original Trilogy.

It's interesting to consider, that the Return of the Jedi, having come out in 1983, has been "the last Star Wars movie" for sixteen years. The Revenge of the Sith has been "the last one" for ten years, and The Rise of Skywalker is now five years old.

In retrospect, what do you think about that trajectory? Or if you're (un)lucky to have been a fan during one or both of those gaps, how did it feel back then? And how are you feeling about that last stretch?

Something that interests me a bit about the gaps is how they impact (and constrain) the authors working in the extended canon. I believe during the OT-PT gap Lucas specifically forbade EU authors from touching on anything pre-ANH – I’m curious if Disney has restrictions now on how far authors can go into the post-ST future.
