I’ve been glad that Lando hasn’t been in the ST so far (as I think any inclusion in those stories would have seemed forced for his character), but it would be odd if he’s not in IX, after setting up the whole regroup and rebuild the Rebellion thing at the end of the movie.

I agree - even if it was in the form of a hologram like we got for Maz in TLJ; something like ‘I’m sending you some help and resources that may be of use to you’ etc in his own unique style, of course 😃

 

Having seeing Wook’s idea - I prefer that!

I’d bet the Solo movie is going to show off Lando’s gambling skills in a major way.

I hope so.

Of course, Jar Jar is the key to all this y’know…

😉

We haven’t heard mention of Wedge Antilles either. I’d like to see Wedge come back and help recruit new pilots or something.

The only thing Disney is paying attention to is box office and merchandising. And it’s boffo. If they paid any serious mind to social media, we’d have gotten an answer to the bloody OOT question this past year.

Lando’s the man with connections. And he’s a gambler. I could even see an Ocean’s 11 style caper robbing Canto Bight blind and then buying new Resistance ships from the same people they’ve fleeced.

Never say never. 😉

Lando better damn well be in the next movie.

I think many elements in the movie are mocking Star Wars. One line that really sticks out as mocking Star Wars was Luke saying “laser sword.” I wanted the world of Star Wars to take itself more seriously, that’s what makes it feel real even as we see questionable physics and crazy aliens.

His father once used that term as well, if you remember. 😉

Sounds familiar…

Computers were still a mysterious thing to most people in 1983, computer hacking even more so.

I would think most of the people who would have nitpicked the way hacking is done in the movie wouldn’t want to attract attention to themselves.

Saw it again today. Except for some excessive humor still loved it. Not everything is perfect but it was very powerful and emotional. It definitely got me feeling.

Got my second viewing in today as well. Luke reuniting with Leia still got to me.

The only thing I’m wondering now is how Finn/Rose got caught? Did DJ alert the First Order while he was hacking? Also what was the point of DJ handing back the necklace if all he cared about was money? He could had had both the necklace and the First Order’s reward.

Maybe he’s not the mercenary scum he appears to be.

I don’t know, revealing the escape plan to the FO is pretty scummy… especially considering the lives lost. His whole character is about the money. Won’t do the plan unless there’s a deposit up front. Only follows the money based off who has the bigger reward. Saves his own skin for the cost of many lives. Never comes back with a change of heart (hence the surprise of BB-8 and the walker)

So really, him returning the necklace just doesn’t make sense and it doesn’t make up for any of the scummy acts and traits displayed.

Maybe it’s one tiny sign of regret? I once saw a movie or a tv show where a KGB agent has a dissident arrested. After the dissident is taken away, the agent picks up the dropped letter the dissident was going to mail to his mother and puts it in a mailbox.

If DJ appears in the next film Finn might just shoot him first. Or the Resistance might have to reluctantly deal with him to get new ships.

One of the issues I have with the new movies is the constant over-explanation of everything. Star Wars has never been subtle, but did we really need to see people with monocles and tuxedos on understand that these were rich people?

TLJ was a movie-equivalent of a Thomas Kinkade painting.

It’s an exclusive casino. What are they supposed to wear? Even Vegas has places they won’t let you in without a suit.

You never see anybody in street clothes in a casino in a 007 movie. 😉

The thing is Star Wars is in a galaxy far far away and in the distant past. So I’d prefer it if they kept our modern world out of Star Wars. ie. tuxedos, etc.

It’s like if Luke was running around wearing a t-shirt and jeans.

😉

They better be bell bottoms!

I think so? Not sure if he wears the same jeans throughout Corvette Summer.

Gone are the days when they got Leonard Nimoy or Michael Dorn to do holiday greetings in character.

I wouldn’t allow any site merchandise if I were you. Profiting off of other company’s brands is very dicy legally and is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

We wouldn’t be selling them. Maybe if everybody chips in a buck for a limited run that covers costs? I’ve seen oodles of shirts at conventions over the years that are definitely not licensed. Even more on Ebay.


Note to self. Must buy a I survived a Mok Concert t shirt.

I see these tv commercials for some company that makes logo/team shirts all the time. The classic OT logo might run afoul of copyrights though.

I like that second design too. : )

I was wondering about that myself as I didn’t think to see if it had sound. 😛

Yikes! I’ve been watching season 3 of classic Saturday Night Live, and the Belushi does drugs running gag isn’t so funny anymore.

I saw this in a Hallmark store and was amused until I heard the sound clip it plays, which sounds nothing like Leslie Nielsen. Licensing issues?

I was also amused by ornaments for Aliens (Ripley in Powerloader) and Caddyshack (gopher), both R rated films. Where’s the Die Hard Hans Gruber in mid fatal plunge ornament I ask you?

I’m gone for 2 years and Luke is ready to kill his nephew and Frink is banned…need better justifications for the motives of beloved characters!

Seriously: appreciate Frink’s note and look forward to his return.

Best not to speculate too much further on that.

And I can’t ban myself. No little red button appears for me.

Ever when Frink’s not posting here, he’s posting here.

I’m a member of Fanedit.org and Frink is a mod there. Professional courtesy. Give the man a little credit for trying to apologize?

It was a joke. The man is probably one of most active posters here. I was joking about him being here so often that he’s here even when he’s not.

Ok. No worries then!

Not sure as I’ve never been banned.

I don’t know how it works for other forums, but here it’s actually a one step process. Push the button, Frank. What happened last night is a mystery as I got a PM after his icon got the red slash.

Maybe the magical flying forum elves™ are hopped up on eggnog.
