Finn will probably take his life back and find his family, taking down the First Order along the way. It’s not hard to predict simple adventure tales.
Alderaan’s constant bitching about Disney almost makes me feel sympathetic towards Disney.
Star Wars is a cheap copied cassette tape of the ESB score, taken from a CD found in a city library. A dozen polystyrene box liners used to make everything from the Echo Base to the Death Star. Empty cereal cartons that build anything from the Hound’s Tooth to new parts for used Kenner Y-Wings. Re-enacting the death of old Ben with bathrobes and cardboard tubes. By the time Dark Forces II came out it had solidified into an entire media library complete with posters and flight sticks. It was rekindled by Tazos and then again by Phantom Menace stickers, in a time when teenage brain patterns cancelled out rational critiques. It’s just a movie I guess.

So yeah, from the two samples it seems he doesn’t actually know anything, therefore, hack. Lots of Youtubers like that, unfortunately.
Well there were a few interesting details that I thought worth sharing, but I admit it’s not really well written and lacks a clear opening argument or a real conclusion.
How does anyone have a strong opinion of Spectre? It’s just meh.
Skyfall was meh, Spectre was godawful. But I feel like this news won’t be a Celebration 2017.
Remember when MGM put out a poster to tease the Spectre teaser?
I try not to remember Spectre.
Well on a serious note the whole thing needs re-writing, to actually have continuity with the originals. Like a … prequel. So actually having Ben and Anakin as friends, having an Imperial rise to power that makes sense, and having a Clone Wars that isn’t nonsense. Sticking a band aid onto the script we have now doesn’t really help. Those “what if they were great” videos that came out a while back took a look at this kind thing.
Wonder which future filmmaker will have the cojones to put a Gungan in a future movie…
Colin Trevorrow is the man for the job!
I remember us getting a teaser trailer around Thanksgiving of 2014. For a teaser trailer it was damn good and what I was referring to is like 10 seconds of random stuff to hype up the actual trailer.
Right this is what I thought of. Since we have a much shorter time to go they should probably do one of those already.
This guy’s a hack
I didn’t think it was that bad. What has he done?

Tell me what small changes could’ve been made to the Phantom Menace that would’ve greatly enhanced the Star Wars Saga
I wish the music on Jabba’s yacht wasn’t “lost”. I really dig it. It matches the sounds the bar band in SW was playing, but it’s different enough to sound like a different band playing the same genre. Lapti Nek also works as “SW universe music” for me, even if it’s much more disco than the other “in world” music we hear.
Wait this wasn’t on the soundtrack they released? What the hell. All these versions online are Frankenstein attempts. Boo.

*I’m at school and couldn’t listen to the audio because I left my earbuds at home, so I actually mean that it “looks” good.
The music was the best part.
Actually it looks fun, which is all you can ask for. Hopefully Taika gets to leave his stamp on it.
I thought that hairy best would be the end of me!
It will probably just be VIII related. I feel like there was a longer wait for TFA when they started showing off the new cast, wasn’t the first trailer at least a year before? Maybe that’s what I’m thinking of. With the home release of Rogue One done, this is probably their big announcement.
A video about the music
I quite like how the prequels were included in Rogue One. There were a few subtle callbacks like the Turbo Tank and Coruscant that didn’t really affect the story, but they were nice to see if you wanted a more cohesive/connected universe, and they were easily ignorable if you hate the prequels. Other callbacks to the era like Saw Gerrera, Bail Organa and so on all made sense within the context of the story.
I loved how they made the bigget PT era character (Saw) an insane mess who had a crappy CGI pet. Very meta.
Hahahah
I hadn’t even thought about wearing glasses… is that just impossible? I haven’t seen a 3D release in 2 years which coincides with me having to wear specs. I don’t think I’ll buy a ticket to find out.
Since there is no continuity in them, they can be safely mothballed.
Negative! It didn’t go in. It just impacted on the surface.
It not a gimmick. 3D has been around in one form or another since the 50’s.
But it never really stuck. I don’t think I’ve talked to anyone that actually enjoys watching movies like that.
Well it comes in waves like any money making fad. It came back in the 80s, it came in 2009, now people have lost interest. I prefer 2D IMAX style experiences which don’t distract from the film and don’t have lenses that darken what you are seeing. As for the home release market I can’t see it taking off in a big way.
Are you talking about this one? I still have mine!
Yeah that kind of thing, most of it is long gone here.
You can always try and find it on Ebay, for hundreds of dollars…probably.
Ah there are plenty for sale for less than 20 bucks, if was I so inclined. Just don’t have the space for all the old merch any more.
Makes me think of this shot in AOTC.

The mid 90’s saw some strange ideas come out of Kenner.

At least the old Mini Rigs back in the 80’s looked like something that was just “off camera” in the OT. In Kenner’s defense, they did follow up with more sensible things like a Hoth Rebel soldier with a laser cannon, and the Probe Droid.
Haha so goofy. There was a Boba Fett Deluxe too I remember. At one point I’m sure there was a Han Solo that came with the Falcon turret, but they decided that it needed an action feature so the barrels of the gun itself fired out for some reason.
