"When I was growing up, The Sandlot, the Back to the Future trilogy, and any Jim Carrey movie were, like, my movies. Jim Carrey, actually, really was one of the first [actors] I loved. Because he would make me laugh. And I would always imitate him. That was kind of how I started [getting into acting]."

"This summer I'm finishing the Sprawl Trilogy by William Gibson from 1984, of Neurmancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive. Gibson predicted drones and the Internet, but what really gets me are the 'subcultures' he gets into, like holographic camoflauged art punks and week-long luxury dreams for the wealthy while they recover from plastic surgery."

"I love the whole BRD trilogy for Fassbinder’s truthful rendering of the German psyche after World War II devastation and post–Marshall Plan de-Nazification, and for the great parts that he offered to his female actors. Being a teenager in the fifties, in Germany, I left for Paris to avoid being sucked into the materialistic obsession displayed here."

I can still remember how excited I got at the end of Split when Bruce Willis surprisingly appeared on screen as his character from Unbreakable, for it was at that moment I knew we now had a trilogy on our hands. Glass was a perfect third edition and I walked out with a huge smile on my face.

I feel that this movie was better than the first with the Summer camp setting and more of a gritty feel with a great music soundtrack. It definitely sets the tone and vibe of an 80s horror movie. It gives some great backstory for a couple of characters in the first movie in the trilogy. Overall, really well done.

"Hello there"
For many viewers at the time, Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi was the highlight of the prequel trilogy.

Back before the dark days. Back before the Mouse House.

(sorry, couldn't resist).

The last of those movies - Revenge of the Sith - was released way back in 2005, with McGregor distancing himself from the role for a good decade and a half or so afterwards due to the flack he received. Time, however, has been kind to the prequel trilogy (well, that and the dumpster-fire that was the sequel trilogy, with The Last Jedi in particular being hugely divisive (I don't particularly rate it myself)), with McGregor agreeing to reprise the role in this limited-series on Disney+.

A series which, I've heard, has had the highest viewing figures of any yet-released on that platform (although I've no idea if that claim is accurate or not).

But the big question is, of course, was it worth the wait?

Absolutely yes - this blows The Book of Boba-Fett out of the water completely; even managing to over-shadow The Mandalorian. Which is impressive when you consider that most of the main characters - Obi-Wan, Vader, Luke, Owen and Beru - all benefit from having plot armour; all appearing in the original trilogy ...

Yes, it's not perfect - Moses Ingram Reva, in particular annoys at first - and may be a bit slow in the first episode or two, but the finale plays off beautifully, tying in perfectly with A New Hope and even adding another layer to Obi-Wan's claim that "From a certain point of view ..."
