However, Infinity War’s plot served as building Thanos and understanding his motives. And Endgame was more about the Avengers’ revenge. Though, new concept art shows that there were more plans…

Before The Last Jedi, Star Wars fans had something else to complain about. And even before the prequels, there was something before that. When George Lucas released the Special Editions of the original trilogy, he changed a few things. The most controversial of those was the scene between Han Solo and Greedo. Originally, Han shot first. Then in the Special Edition of A New Hope, Greedo shot first. In that version, horrible CGI had Han dodge the attack, then shoot and kill the green meanie. Disney Plus has finally launched. And additional to their original, The Mandalorian, all of the…
