They don’t give clothes to anyone that wanders in. Those are for guests staying at the special resort. I would assume that cost is included with your room.
They’re going to have RX-24 as the cantina DJ! That makes me ridiculously giddy.
Stumbled upon a treasure trove of high res promotional stills from the Special:

Evidence B. is that car that crashes through the destroyer bridge in ROTJ.
Alright, I think I’ve had my fun. I was mostly posting in a harsh manner to get a rise out of Dom. =P
In all honesty, I’m still pretty positive about TLJ. It has a lot of faults but the handling of Rey and Ben’s characters was pretty superb.
I also really enjoyed the examination of the failure of the Jedi Order through Luke but I still fundamentally disagree with the idea that 1., Luke would ever ignite his saber(pull a gun) on his nephew in his sleep like that or 2., that he’d completely give up and just wander off to die.
That’s completely anathema to his character. Luke Skywalker is the eternal optimist, he’s the one that believes you can redeem anyone. Even an evil Sith Lord responsible for the deaths of countless sentient beings. To give up on and contemplate KILLING his nephew because he’s starting to have bad thoughts? No.
That aside, I think there’s still enough buried in there for a decent film. Trimmed of most of its excess, I’m quite partial to Hal’s fan edit of the film.
As for “subverting expectations,” I think people read to much into that to mean Johnson was trying to annoy fans at every turn or something.
I wonder where they got that idea?
Not pointing Luke specifically, just the story. I guess you could argue that the final scene in TFA has the weight of the Luke we know from the OT, but you could argue just as easily that it leads just as well into TLJ’s version of Luke so it’s a wash, really.
Luke we already know as an established character by the end of ROTJ. The Luke we see in TLJ just plainly isn’t the same character. You can classify it as “growth” or “character development” or whatever, but it’s not really an expansion of the Luke character we’ve seen before as it is a complete alteration of the core character. It was like a “what if” version of Luke where maybe he failed to defeat the Emperor and redeem his father and fell into despair or something. The whole movie kinda felt like a “what if” thing.
I completely disagree of course. Luke has always been my favorite character and I’m glad they gave him a compelling story rather than just “perfect old Jedi who exiled himself to learn the bestest powers.”
And Mark Hamill completely disagrees with you. Funny how that works.
But here’s the important thing. For TLJ to “undermine” this TFA scene, it would have to have ignored it’s portrayal and meaning entirely.
You mean like how he’s wearing a super fancy Jedi robe in TFA and then in TLJ as soon as the scene cuts he’s wearing hobo clothes?
Zach Snyder is a bad combo with anything.
Continuing discussion from this thread.
As to [Hux’s] seriousness, I’d say it’s about the same in both. He’s not making jokes in TLJ, he’s the butt of them.
Every moment he has in the film is undercut with him being made a joke. The only actual serious moment he has is when he almost shoots Ren and that was an improvised moment from Gleeson.
Snoke has a far bigger role with much greater relevance to the plot at hand in TLJ than TFA. Just because you expected him to survive TLJ because of his role in the lore pre-TFA doesn’t mean his death undermines TFA. In any way.
I don’t care at all that he died in TLJ. It was a good moment of character growth for Ben. What is inexcusable is that Snoke was not expounded upon AT ALL before his death.
Are we talking about the same character who crawls across a crowded table to stare at Finn in TFA?
Come on. You very well know there’s a galaxy of difference between crawling across a table and literally flying around like a video game character taking out hordes of off-screen enemies.
TFA was the film that sent [Luke] into hiding in the first goddamn place. I’m honestly baffled that anyone expected anything else of his character other than reluctance.
The very nature of his originally intended introduction says otherwise. Here are just a few alternative explanations for why he disappeared:
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. TLJ didn’t contradict TFA at all.
TFA ends with a clear setup for the sequel that TLJ completely ignores. “Leave the base at once and come to me with Kylo Ren. It is time to complete his training.”
The start of TLJ should have been the mirroring of Rey and Ben through their simultaneous training. You can even keep the “Forcetime” plot device so that they can communicate with each other throughout this time.
The Kylo training segments would also be an opportunity to expound on Snoke.
You guys are joking or purposefully selectively forgetting a lot if you’re seriously positing that TLJ wasn’t a big middle finger to Abrams’ TFA.
Did George actually say that?
From the Whoniverse, to Buckingham Palace, to a galaxy far, far away.
Sources tell Variety that “The Crown” star Matt Smith is joining “Star Wars: Episode IX,” which is currently in production in the U.K. It’s unknown at this time whether the “Doctor Who” alum will be on the side of the rebels or the evil empire.
Oh wow, congrats on the panel Scott! Do you know if it will be recorded? I’m sad I’m gonna miss this.
Pittrek, you’re just looking at domestic numbers.
Worldwide box office for both was:
Solo - $392,619,489
Ant-Man and the Wasp - $544,532,061
AM&TW made a decent profit if those production budget numbers are accurate.
Please keep the scene where Boba is flirting with the girl in Jabba’s palace.
It is the only good addition to the Return of the Jedi Special Edition.
If that’s kept, make sure he’s restored to all his helmetless glory:
😉
I take my best option is to leave this thread?
Yes. This thread will inevitably end up having actual spoilers, that is its purpose. To discuss all officially released material, stick to this thread.
SUMMER OF 84 (2018)
Fun and at times intense 80s nostalgia trip from the makers of Turbo Kid.
I get the feeling they’re gonna turn those horses into big goats.
That’d be like saying “My Star Wars would feature a galaxy at peace where occasionally there’ll be a light battle here and there but no all out wars.”
So the new canon period between the OT and the ST. =P
Will you go back to this once you have done 1997 SE
Read this post and quit pestering poita.
Ah, this was brought up on the 11th. Months ago when the rumors first started it was just Hemsworth.
That was a pretty poor trailer. It felt more in tone with The Freemakers than Rebels.
Really, really dislike the character design. Cell shading always make things look cheap.
Regardless, I’m still hoping for the best.
Before it was just Hemsworth, now they’ve lost Pine as well. And I would not recommend trying to move forward without him.
