Jenny’s probably going ham at the event. I imagine it will produce a semi-amusing cringe video at the least. Whereas the frauds have been too good for conventions for the past 8 years

So join me in this joyless exploration of hack sci fi tonight at http://psp-tv.com/r/leperscolony 8 PM EST!

If Rey is Luke's clone, can I call her Punished Luke? Or is that Liquid Luke?

I will do for this movie what I did for The Last Jedi and Rogue One - halfheartedly watch them on Netflix during a slow workday

Rogue One at least had a visually striking opening scene that was very Kurosawa before it fell into a ditch, also Mads Mikkelsen was miscast which was worst of all

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
He wasn’t miscast. It was a lovely character. It’s pretty clear he was always intended to be an evil bastard. During the reshoots and changes they made him to a guy forced to do a bad thing who booby trapped the Death Star.

Also my phone auto capitalized Death Star which is hilarious.

Still laughing at my expectations being so subverted that they got retconned one film later thus meaning my expectations neither were met nor subverted, but instead exist now only in a realm of anti-existence.

For what it's worth, I do think they're not gonna have Rey be a Skywalker, and the title is one last expectation being subverted. Even JJ wants to be able to go :smug: "Heh, you thought I meant Rey?" :smug:

Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger said he’s not at all concerned that consumers may be overexposed to the Star Wars brand, but the film franchise will go on “hiatus” after December’s big release.

It's getting the Stalin treatment.



Rey is Luuuke

Holy poo poo Reign of Evil that was a good movie. I never though I would watch a romcom that would be funny. I whole heartily recommend Destination wedding. Excellent and much thanks. Scorched was bullshit though as they geo blocked it.

Old Town Road to EGOT

I was so looking forward to TLJ. Got my ticket to an opening night IMAX showing months ahead of time. Thought it was poo poo. Then later I thought maybe I'd been too hard on it, so I saw it in theaters again. Nope, it's just garbage lol

Episode 9 already looks like it ignores some of what I had issues with in TLJ, so maybe I'll love it just like I did TFA.

The biggest joke of the teaser was the slide that said "the saga ends"

Overexposure to star wars is a new symptom that has only cropped up in recent mouse related years. Wholly unconnected of course.

The best part - as mentioned above - is the end of the skywalker "saga" (sure, lets call it that) and absolutely none of the new characters have had any cultural impact other than as sources for jokes and memes.

What a strong foundation going forwards with a 4 billion dollar hole burning in your mouseketeer pocket.

I like force awakens but let's face it the first order stuff being a new empire brutally hosed the new movies up. I can't even put in to words how insanely bad the story is so maybe I shouldn't be to harsh on rian johnson's turd of a 2nd film.

It's kind of laughable that the old EU's version of what happened with the Empire after RotJ is much more interesting and also easier to understand. I've never read any of the books, but I gathered as much about what happened from videogames and from being a nerd, in that after the battle of Endor ends in essentially the decapitation of the Imperial Hierarchy, that the various remaining governors and officers, with huge fleets and armies at their disposal, go into business for themsevles as regional warlords that the New Republic has to come to terms with in whatever ways it can (be it militarily or diplomatically). Now I'm going to assume that most of the actual stories were garbage, but at its core that idea is pretty good and even realistic for a huge military dictatorship like the Empire. It even kind of builds on what Tarkin said in the original Star Wars, that after the dissolution of the Senate that regional governors would be given direct military control over their sectors.

All I know of the old EU comes from a Jedi Outcast game. There's the new republic and imperial remnant.
That makes sense and is easy to understand. Prolly shouldn't go more complicated than that in your space movies for babies.

Reforming as the Knights of Skywalker teaching Luke's final lessons (everyone is force attuned some people just have an easier time manifesting powers, Jedi aren't special and made things worse being elitist assholes, etc.) would be best case scenario RE the title.

So that means Rey is probably secretly Luke's kid and the best parts of TLJ are retconned lol space dynasty.
