I was also surprised by the inclusion of a Grand Admiral. Wasn’t that whole white uniform thing invented by Timothy Zahn in the Thrawn trilogy?
Nope. They’ve always been with us:
Well yeah, that’s designed specifically for VR.

I’m on the fence about this. For safety’s sake, I’d be happy if Vader didn’t show up (they mucked up his character enough in the PT), but if it was handled well, it could be a cool inclusion.
Vader is a total BADASS in Rebels. He’s only shown up a couple times in the series. Each time was brief but incredibly memorable. If they treat him with the same kind of reverence, we have nothing to worry about.
Boy is Pittrek gonna be in for a treat when they announce they’ve cast Jennifer Lawrence as young Han Solo!
OH MY GOODNESS!
That was AMAZING! Anyone that wasn’t excited by that is DEAD INSIDE.
Just…MAN. That was light years ahead of anything I could have hoped! I am unbelievably excited right now.
Okay, so, ever since we first got that cast photo last year. I kept thinking mustache man could possibly be Biggs. BUT, now that I’ve seen him in motion, something’s just tugging at me that he could be KYLE KATARN. If they did THAT my heart might explode.
My reasoning being, Kyle has always been tied pretty closely with the retrieval of the Death Star plans. I think his story was the first to depict it. Subsequently, a few years ago when they created a new game starring a female lead who then steals the plans, they also threw Kyle Katarn in the game so that he was still involved in some capacity. If they make Kyle Katarn canon, in a FILM no less, I would be the luckiest boy in the world!
Let’s just hope it’s not gonna be “dark and gritty” trend…
Hate to break it to you but that’s exactly what it is and that’s what excites me about it. Putting the War back in Star Wars.
Here’s a highlight video of everything we learned at the last Celebration.
Yes!!!
I’d definitely recommend you check out TLW but I’d caution you to avoid JPIII at all costs.
Nah, they’re just waiting for Celebration Europe. That’ll be the film’s big reveal. Still have quite a few months to go before the film arrives.
New video: Crafting Creatures
Just a thought: could Ezra be the “another one” Yoda mentions in ESB (since it’s not Leia, who has never managed to learn the ways of the Force) ?
LUKE
Yoda spoke of another.BEN
The other he spoke of is your twin sister.
Originally when there were going to be 9-12 films the plan was to have Luke go off in search of his sister after ROTJ. But after ESB proved to be a huge hassle for George he decided to cut it short and just have the three films. But they’d already hinted at this other so they made Leia his sister to tie that up. The original intention was that if Luke failed Yoda could then try to recruit Luke’s mystery sister to finish the job.
As for Ezra, I think he has a very dark path ahead of him…
Very nice. I hated that they added that bunk in TFA. It’s placement doesn’t make very much sense and goes against the established layout of the ship. But it’s nice to have some consistency now and its addition was pulled off very well here.
Has the third season of Agent Carter been confirmed or not?
Nope. Interviewers have asked some of the stars if they’ve heard anything and it’s been all quiet so far.
Yes! Real Genius was going to lead my second list.
Oh and KillerQueen, you should think about posting little reviews of the films you catch here. It’s always interesting to hear new perspectives.

Simon Pegg, one of the co-writers of Beyond, was quite upset with that trailer.
The crew of the Enterprise weren’t very pleased either.
You’re moving the goalposts of the discussion. MalàStrana asked if there was any kissing in Star Wars. To which you replied, “There is no kiss in STAR WARS”. That’s been disproven and now you’re trying to make it about something else.
I meant kisses on the lips.
Uh huh.
There is no kiss in STAR WARS

Still doesn’t contradict it. I don’t count anything from the comics or anything else outside the films so I don’t care about your first example.
Have you…actually seen Star Wars? She kisses him twice in the first movie. The example I posted is the comic adaptation of the second as there were no simple gifs/screencaps for it.
I think you need to give Begins another viewing. I didn’t think much of it until I decided to give it another watch years later and realized it was a pretty decent film.
