The implication being that he asks every 20/30-something woman he meets where they're from because he has literally sired thousands of children.

So i know a lot of people dislike Padme and Anakin together BUT you got to admit Lucas didn’t try to redo Han and Leia dynamic all over again he was doing parallels not remake like some people

The leaks are intriguing to read because they were entirely accurate and allow one to see what changed in late edits and stuff.

So, that "ancestor's festival" or whatever that they found themselves at in their search for the knife is only held once every 42 years, right? Was odd to name that given that this movie came out 42 years after ANH. Are they trying to make some kind of commentary here or was it just lulz 42 stuff?

I like how Star Wars often pokes fun at the arrogance of evil e.g. the lovely general in Empire jumping too soon and basically the entirety of Last Jedi, but Palpatine thinking his lightning trick would work a third time is a Darwin award winning action. Bonus points on digging a lightning tunnel so you could knock the grandson of your apprentice into it. You know, don't bother using a lightsaber or force choke or maybe dropping an expendable stardestroyer into your gaping death eater arena.

It's a good thing the geography didn't change after many decades, real good of the death star 2 not to do that.

Another thing that confused me about the wayfinder was that Ren destroyed the Emperor's so that Rey would be forced to travel with him. So why was she surprised to learn that he had another one later? Wasn't that explicitly established?

ONE YEAR LATER posted:It's an easter egg. Ashley Eckstein being one of the voices in the end is an easter egg. A festival that occurs every 42 years is getting egged in the face on top of confusing your nerd fanbase because it's an important number in another sci-fi franchise.

Looking at summaries of the Mandalorian episodes, it seems like the main character is mostly babysitting baby Yoda around the Galaxy saving it from one bad scenario after another every episode. This is kind of funny given it's supposed to be "gritty". It seems to me like the Baby Yoda is a cynical gimmick for kids, and then in true Jar Jar Binks fashion they make the gimmick a centerpiece. Have people here seen the show? Do they like it?

You know how sometime actors in one movie will reteam to do a very different movie? Like Nicolas Cage and Eve Mendes were together in Ghost Rider and Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans?? Or John Cusack and John Malkovich in Con Air and Being John Malkovich? I kind of want to see Boyega, Ridley, Isaac and Driver maybe do some version of Othello or a screwball comedy version of Sense and Sensibility. Maybe get Tommy Wiseau to direct it. Ooooh, there you go. A Star Wars movie written and directed by Tommy Wiseau.

This is kind of funny given it's supposed to be "gritty". It's much better than it sounds, although some of the episodes and acting from the secondary cast is weak. The show overall is solidly entertaining and a much better product than like 90% of Star Wars stuff.

Combat Theory posted:Plot twist: Reylo had telepathic force impregnation and the child is the emperor of mankind from 40K. i unironically assumed that was exactly what happened as the hook for the next set of movies as soon as i watched it happen. not that itll literally be the emperor but that ben impregnated her via the force. dear god i hope im wrong, but seems exactly the sort of bullshit disney would pull unrelated but since people keep asking about it the mandalorian is really good

Well I just saw it . A lot a lot better than I expected. only some minor nitpicks but I was moved by the main story and really liked the craft and effort put into the movie. The Endor sequence in particular was very effective

This is kind of funny given it's supposed to be "gritty". That show is awesome as hell. I say that with zero irony, because it's really godamn good. Also, on all the wayfinder stuff on this page, that knife was one stupendously stupid plot device. It's such a contrivance that I very nearly audibly groaned in the theater, but didn't want to mess up anyone's viewing experience. Even in the moment I couldn't really justify the notion of its existence in my mind. So someone who spoke/understood "sith," showed up, with very specific knowledge of this hidden object in the Emperor's throne room, made that knife with teeth similar to a key, and with no worries about all that wreckage settling in the ocean floor, rusting away, etc... Not sure if that whole element was more lazy, or dumb. Unless that OG dude, or whatever his name was, made it? But even still, metal in all its forms tends to rust and decay over time. Also, I've read a lot of the new extended canon, but but has it been established anywhere that the Sith had a specific language, alphabet and so forth? I thought it was weird the Senate would have specifically outlawed translation of that language, but then I remembered that Sheev's whole ruse in the PT didn't work if anyone thought the Sith "were back" or an actual threat. So keeping anyone from learning about them or their ways made sense. Doronin fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Dec 22, 2019 |

This is kind of funny given it's supposed to be "gritty". The Mandalorian is Lone Wolf and Cub guest starring Jon Favreau's friends. It's a spaghetti western that has fun exploring Star Wars' ancillary hooks which ironically makes it feel larger than any of the movies or major properties. Also in what feels like a massive oversight the last episode of Mandalorian features baby yoda healing a badguy which causes him to switch sides. They maybe should've pushed that episode back a week, idk, but when Rey heals Kylo it didn't have the impact it should have because a day ago I saw a CGI Funkopop creature do the exact same thing to Carl Motherfucking Weathers.

I guess that's another clue that eventually Disney/Lucasfilm is going to really dive in on TOR at some point. But the Sith species, so to speak, TROS would have been the first "canon" mention, I think, right? The comics are the only thing I haven't read a lot of, so this could have been fleshed out there possibly.

a.lo posted:At least Kylo got to see Finn’s cute new hairstyle, before his dumbass died. I loved the timing of it - right after kissing Rey. It's not that healing Rey strained him. It's that his creepy, incel body couldn't handle the overstimulation of being willingly kissed by a real female girl. I also figure that Palpatine conceived the idea of the planet-killer Star Destroyers after Rey's mom/dad (whichever one was P's kid) was conceived. "My Star Destroyer need to be more powerful, more virile. I know, we'll put dicks on them. Big, planet-killing dicks. Every thing is improved with dicks. Dicks are awesome."
