The way how in the prequels they added way too many new planets, many of which were similar to the original trilogy's planets (for example: Geonosis is pretty much exactly the same as Tatooine), and seemed to forget about most of the planets from the original trilogy. For example: we never see or hear of Bespin, Yavin, Endor, Dantooine, Hoth, Dagobah and many others in the prequels

 Um first, this is an EU thread.

Second, there's an entire galaxy out there, why keep revisiting the same planets over and over again. It's a vast waste of potential. It also would have made zero sense to revisit most of those planets as:

• Yavin IV - secret base
• Endor - secret base
• Dantooine - abandoned secret base
• Hoth - secret base
• Dagobah - secret hideout (which is featured in a ROTS deleted scene.)

And to do that they have to create a DayGlo Mandalorian graffiti artist?

I'm trying to remain cautiously optimistic towards this show, but this is looking more-and-more like a good example of the cure being worse than the disease.  

 On the surface of it, I'm not all that happy with the character either. But we'll have to wait and see how the character develops over time in the show before passing final judgement.

My guess would be that it gives Filoni an excuse to go back and reinforce that the Mandos have abandoned that peaceful society stuff GL introduced in the Clone Wars.

The Frighteners (1996)

Not bad.

The Best of Times (1986)

Decent.

I would love to see Moraband, Onderon, Lehon, Dxun, Ziost, or a lesser known world just on the big screen

 Fixed that for ya. ;)

Star Wars Rebels - Art Attack

I'm quite fond of the Republic comic series starting with issue #19 on.

It's gonna be based closely on Frank Miller's terrible comic book TDKR.

Uh huh...well the EU declaring it a galaxy is indeed dumb. AOTC itself never clarifies what it is.

Uh....where are you get this three galaxies thing?

The Big Sleep (1946)

A Classic.

Dirty Wars (2013)

Outrageous and tragic. Everyone should see this.

Well now, who slipped that extra C in there...

Spaced Ranger you do know that THE STAR WARS is a comic series based on the original rough draft right?

He says it like the Mecco cover is a bad thing. =P

Expendables 3 (2014)

Disposable.

The Survivors (1983)

Candice Paluso: Listen, this is gonna sound like a really stupid question, but, uh, aren't you guys gonna get really bored out here if society doesn't collapse?

Donald Quinelle: I wouldn't worry about that. Wes says society is heading for the big "flush". And we're going to be the ones who are clinging to the rim while everything else goes down.

Candice Paluso: Eeew!

Sonny Paluso: What're you going to do if things get better?

Donald Quinelle: Is the air getting better?

Candice Paluso: That's true.

Donald Quinelle: The economy? The Middle East? Arts, literature, television, US Presidents improving?

Sonny Paluso: Anyone can nitpick.

Donald Quinelle: Sonny, name one thing that's gotten better in the last ten years.

Sonny Paluso: [Sonny is stumped]

Donald Quinelle: See?

Candice Paluso: Video games.

Sonny Paluso: Video games! There you are.

Donald Quinelle: Alright, I acknowledge that.

Well that was certainly something. A film that's surprisingly still relevant.

I'd actually rank [ROTS] slightly higher than Return of the Jedi

The future...

Ryan McAvoy said:

I'd like to see a Princess Leia that acted/spoke like 2014 Carrie.

 Having actually seen her speak in person. NO.

She was up on stage with George and saying the most vulgar things that were making him blush. And everyone else on stage would just have to shrug and say, "That's Carrie!"

To Have and Have Not (1944)

Pretty good.

Star Wars Rebels - Behind the Force

Even the PT shows this. Queen Amidala has to physically fly to the capital to explain what's going on. They don't just flick to the GoogleNaboo app.  The Trade Federation denies it. 

All this strongly implies that mass communication in the SW universe is difficult, inconvienient, and not generally a priority.

 Amidala had to flee Naboo in order to avoid capture.

Why doesn't she message Coruscant once they've landed on Tatooine? Remember, she receives a message from Governor Bibble urging her to contact him. Qui-Gon tells her to send no reply. Why? Because her reply could be traced back to its point of origin. Same for if she sent a message to Coruscant. So the only safe thing to do was maintain radio silence until they safely made it to their final destination.

You also forget the intergalactic message between Obi-Wan on Kamino and the Jedi Temple in AOTC.

What doesn't make sense is why Obi-Wan can have a live conversation between Coruscant and Kamino which is described as being "beyond the Outer Rim." But then later has to relay a recorded message from Geonosis to Tatooine before it can reach Coruscant.

Moscow on the Hudson (1984)

"When I was in Russia, I did not love my life...but I loved my misery. You know why? Because it was my misery. I could hold it. I could caress it. I loved my misery."

Great film.

We know Anakin was a great guy because Alec Guinness can actually act. When he says "and a good friend" it is said with such a glowing genuine warmth and wistful nostalgia, it simply couldn't have been any other way.

Everyone argues with their good friends.

 Once in a while maybe. But not all the bleedin time..

 Devil's advocate:

=P
