Not sure the world is ready for full frontal Klingon nudity though. 😉

Obviously you haven’t kept up with Discovery. 😐

So, I know it’s too late for V2. But I think I’ve solved the Chewie problem for V3, check it out! 😉

So wait, we still see Chewie slowly lumbering away next to Leia in that last shot?

While it’s by no means a deal breaker. The decision to not address the main theme is disappointing. I think it’s fair to say it was the one thing about the film that was universally criticized.

Yes please! I’ve been wondering about that as well.

I am, first-and-foremost, a Nancy fan, not a Freddy fan. When she died in Dream Warriors, she died to save those kids. When Freddy returned and killed all those kids in Dream Master, it rendered her sacrifice meaningless. So I utterly detest the later sequels, regardless of whatever merits they may have as films.

I just went through the Jason films for the first time recently. I hold similar sentiments in regards to Tommy Jarvis and Jason Lives. The films after that just feel pointless.

Last Jedi Director Rian Johnson on His New Trilogy and the Fundamental Power of Star Wars

Really fascinating bit in there about how TLJ is a personal story and I love that he acknowledges Rebels. Seems like that was actually an influence for him.

Dave is working on something else, which is why he’s not directly overseeing this last season. Whether it’s a new series or (what I’m hoping for) a feature film, remains to be seen.

What’s wrong with the official release of ALIEN?

…

I really need to look into Dan Aykroyd’s greater filmography…

The prequels will also be erased from the saga now that i am no longer doing them. I just can’t bring myself to ever watch them again…for me, I’d like to start my viewing with Rogue One, followed by the OT, then the ST , as those films are far superior to the PT.

That’s how I feel about them as well. If the Han Solo standalone turns out alright and if they ever do that Kenobi film, they plus RO would be my PT.

Well that’s easy, Sir Richard Attenborough’s narration.

This is not the post you are looking for…

I suggested at one point having some sort of sound effect (ANH Star Destroyer flyover?) but I don’t know what SirRidley’s cooking up for that.

I’m adding engine noises, but I’ll look into adding a hyperspace exit thump.

If the Rey reaction is cut and we just see Finn’s, the rumble of the Star Destroyer overhead alone would work perfectly for getting his attention.

I only caught wind of this project a few days ago and have immensely enjoyed watching you guys perfect this thing iteration after iteration. You’re all doing fantastic work.

I don’t know if you guys ever figured out a satisfactory solution for Finn noticing the Star Destroyer. But if not, have you considered adding in that thud like sound of a ship exiting hyperspace?

This is the most hipster thing I’ve ever heard of.

It’s an art.

You both are going to be waiting a long time.
