Not really, could just be on the cutting room floor.

I mean it’s clearly Luke? He points right at him with his stick and calls him reckless

Exactly. He’s always ripped off older stuff. Now I guess he believes his own legend and thinks SW and Raiders are ideas he imagined from nothing. What a guy.

They secretly love Life Day

The Falcon can make it 0.5 past light speed, but it’s not clear if this is the normal travel speed or the upper limit.

The rest of the shots aren’t though : (

Yeah they often appear in the “premium” bundles.

I never noticed him, even by the voice.

The spin-off movies being put on ice may be a reaction to the recent box office results, but I think that the TV route is still their way of turning SW into one big series so that viewers feel seeing every piece is essential. Particularly now that all the shows under their umbrella have that veneer of exclusivity. I wouldn’t be surprised if the audience being hooked back in improves the status of the big screen releases.

Well beyond the GC version being a horrendous port the mouse controls were kind of essential for saber movement. It will be interesting to see how it fares today.

I’ve long thought that Solo is just the Star Wars equivalent of the opening scene from Last Crusade. It’s trying to explain everything about this character, all the while destroying the mystery surrounding his origins. While I like what I’ve seen of it, it’s got its problems and I think it would have been better served as a Disney+ series about the Star Wars underworld.

I guess that’s true. If only it was a setup for a similar arc like with Indy’s father or the cross.

Of all the laughably bad movies in the SW series, or even just those which were released in 2017, TLJ isn’t even close.

Anyway back on topic, here’s a new Kylo Reacts video https://youtu.be/jNCbZiPaZjY

All I can remember is this kind of thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELPlgKB9n8E

A lot of these scenes could be edited or changed altogether, as is usually the case. Or not included at all.

The broad ideas of what Palpatine was doing are fine but the execution doesn’t really work when we’re supposed to believe that an entire army of clones was hidden, then used by the Jedi, then they killed the Jedi, all without anyone getting anything more than a “sense” something is wrong. Instead of some kind of actual hunt being shown. The Clone War should have been EPI, the purge should have been EpII and then the dark times EpIII. The whole trilogy should really have been re-structured to resemble a historical epic. The set pieces are there (chariot races and gladiator arenas) but the “Fall of the Roman Empire” style plot is complete shambles. And the wheel of time is again an interesting idea with a series about fated bloodlines and destiny etc but the way it mirrors the OT is far too sloppy. I don’t hate the PT… it’s just so boring and bad that it’s not watchable.

As for plot inconsistencies… I mean why are Luke and Leia in the films? Why is Vader’s resurrection? In fact why are characters like Yoda and Palpatine here? It should have been made to preserve all the twists and character reveals for new audiences but the toy line came first I guess. The OT had some much world building by referencing events and characters off screen, but here it’s all reduced down so that everything happens on Coruscant and Tatooine.

Interesting, is Palpatine’s laugh coming from that a false association or did they make a mistake?

That one would be fake Palpatine face or shapeshifting hunter level of bad.

Does Hammerite exist in the SW universe? If so what color would it be, Star Destroyer Slate or Imperial Graphite?

Boba Fett’s Most Dangerous Bounty

Those visuals are awful though. I hate the way Vader’s eyes are like crazy holograms.

It’s pretty rust free though?

Game of Death is awesome. All 20 minutes of it. The stupid movie they made after the fact is terrible and so are the CGI commercials they made with Bruce Lee selling whiskey or something stupid.

Yeah it’s pretty good, I hope that the full scenes she’s in aren’t distracting.

You can see how that might be confusing when you skip ahead 20-30 years. I do agree that they could have provided more context in the films, but the existence of the similarities doesn’t break it for me. I think that really is the weakness, because I think with the right context your audience would say, “Yeah, that makes sense.”

Well amongst all the similarities they wanted is to have that idea of being flung into the action, which in some ways works. I really like the opening with Kylo meeting Max von Sydow. But while the OT dripped little pieces of info so it never feels too alien, TFA needed something like that Death Star conference scene to quickly sum up current affairs. Or even just a quick sound bite here and there to say the Republic is soft and doesn’t want to openly support Leia’s para-military actions.

I guess everyone assumes that Palpatine’s ghost haunts the DSII wreckage, which is in the sea… by a wheat field or something? Plus there’s a TFA concept piece showing the observation tower under water which they are probably revisiting. The desert world was called Pasaana or something I think so probably not the same place.
