Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


"It's time for the Jedi to end" an apt metaphor for the entire Star Wars franchise, I hope.

X-Wing except your wingman is constantly popping up on screen to talk to you and its Chewbacca, and he doesn't have subtitles

I have avoided the trailer because I like being surprised when I watch a movie but the weekend the trailer came out there was already merchandise on sale at Target.

no it's a thing, like Battlefield was a huge hit and literally all that game did was throw together old star wars stuff in a reverent way.

EA comes across as a bunch of morons in a bunch of different ways but they're not wrong, it would be a more successful game if it had wookies.

Same way all action blockbusters get spoiled: the LEGO playset, tie-in comic book, or novelization for these things release months earlier.

When George Lucas was making the prequels I'd read teaser stuff like "and THIS bad guy fights with FOUR lightsabers" and think, "this man totally and utterly understands the average Star Wars fan."
