This project is sadly cancelled.
I still don’t know what the project was, but this part was pretty funny.
Apparently every species has the same blood, not just the human ones.
It’s just so hard to take Star Wars seriously if Rise of Skywalker is actually a thing that happened. Where do you even go after “secret fleet of 10,000 Star Destroyer Death Stars” and “Palpatine magically returns and electrocutes the sky”?? I can’t take it seriously after that because we are now firmly in the Spaceballs Universe and only Mel Brooks should be allowed to direct from now on.
I have a suggestion but I am holding it for ransom from The Walt Disney Company.
The classic “it was all a dream” cold open?
It’s “better” than before but still looks bad and every time it’s used I think they should have not done it.
It felt more like he was throwing OOT fans his scraps, since it was such a low quality version and a “bonus feature” but I guess this is old news. Of course now time has passed and you have strange people that believe this laserdisc rip represents the quality of that theatrical cuts.
I like that 1995 artwork but the pan and scan stuff was always a bad idea. In fullscreen you couldn’t even see the sandpeople that Luke spots with his binoculars.
Yeah I seem to remember the GOUT version wasn’t a 1977 copy but just had the A New Hope title removed just so they could say ‘here you go idiots this is what you wanted right?’
Even David Fincher has made weird and pointless changes to the re-release of Seven. I guess this OCD stuff gets worse with age.
If you’re basing a movie on a comic series it might be wise to stay with it. Otherwise why bother? I guess he didn’t use much existing plot for Logan. But on the other hand this could be another Dial of Destiny.
You must be getting soft Anchorhead
Yeah but, y’know, jokes.
Andor S2 becomes the most expensive Star Wars project in terms of annual spending:

Thanksgiving is definitely a holiday that only the Emperor and his cronies celebrate.
You mean Life Day?
Because it’s dumb, and also because before 1999 it was obviously second and last name. Otherwise Ben’s former pupil could not be called Darth Vader. Pre-TPM other stories got the villain names right and they should have stuck with it.
I liked how plucky and heroic to and idealistic Rose was, to almost a foolhardy degree. Everyone was screaming at me when I said I liked her character. And I very much disliked when JJ made her a nothing in episode 9. She was all but written out of the movie, in a seeming desire to erase The Last Jedi, and all the elements people complained about, were reversed/retconned. So Rise of Skywalker was a sequel to Force Awakens but not the last Jedi making a sort of duology and no trilogy, I feel like this was a huge mistake.
How do they move forward in the next movie, I have no idea where the story can go. But I’m sure that is why writers get paid to be creative.
Some writers seem to get paid for fail upwards.
Yeah exactly, what threat, they’ve shot themselves in the foot going forwards in time too far and wasting the viable ideas already.
Oh I didn’t even catch that part so who knows.
Welcome, if you do a little reading you’ll never have to watch something that takes you out of the movie again.
Does anyone find it weird that the 2011 versions of the OT are still shown on TV? I hardly ever watch stuff live any more, and it’s even rarer for me to suffer George’s changes, but I found recently it wasn’t the Macklunkey version. Or does Disney keep the “definitive” version to themselves?
This Rotta the Hutt stuff really worries my that we’re going to end up getting a scene where Ahsoka shows up (if not in this movie, then further down the line) and solves some disagreement by reminding him that she saved him as a baby.
I’d be amazed if this didn’t happen.
Its the astral projecting bit, it’s the rebellion is reborn today and I won’t be the last jedi. Its the part of explaining the force is bigger than the light and the dark. Its bigger than the Sith and the Jedi. Its in all living things and defines the cosmos. Also Luke finally realizing how wrong the Jedi were but being too old and broken to make a change. So Rey has to take up the lightsaber instead. That i don’t know if its good or bad i’m split on that.
Yeah. But again, all interesting ideas and good jumping off points for… a third part of the trilogy that doesn’t exist.
What the fuck.
Yeah yeah, Finn becomes a Jedi, Poe becomes an Admiral, whatever, all things that should have been the story of TROS… but the issue is that these are endings not the start of new character arcs. You can throw in whatever new big bad and the problem is still there, you can’t really continue with this cast in a meaningful way now.
Well I don’t really know how; the point has passed in which Rey might have become someone interesting. Why sit through the stupidity of part IX just to see if a miracle happens in part X? I’ll have to pass.
