Coming out soon is the 200th issue of Star Wars Insider, and ahead of that here’s the second part of my list of 50 reasons we love Star Wars. Some may be the same as what’s in issue 200, some definitely are not. Here they are in no particular order.
26. All the various multimedia of Shadows of the Empire.
27. Star Wars Visionaries. The original epic Maul vs. Obi-Wan on Tattooine.
28. Luke Skywalker vs The Dark Troopers in The Mandalorian. Compare that with…
29. Darth Vader vs the Rebels in Rogue One. Woah.
30. The promise of the Old Man Skywalker indy comic.
31. The Force Awakens teaser trailer.
32. When I saw A New Hope with a full orchestra with a friend of mine. And yes, somebody yelled “Han Shot First!!”
33. Mr. Bones and his insane ways.
34. No matter what people say, I really like the final Jedi vs. Sith battle in The Rise of Skywalker.

38. This Obi-Wan statue:
