So with the First Order openly attacking the Republic, the next movie should just have two factions now right? No more need for secret resistances and all that crap, just Republic vs. First Order I hope.

I could accept the Snoke discarding Kylo for some reason and him then beginning to find redemption. But dark side super space monster souls and Rey being Anakin are completely unbelievable though I really would love it to be true. Also the Echoes of The Dark Side, really that title is too dumb.

It's really not any worse than The Force Awakens.

I just had a random thought.

What if Padme really was an angel?

There's probably already a ton of fan fiction on this subject I'm guessing.

There's a Clone Wars episode explaining the dumb angel line. I think it turned out to be some kind of orbital weapons array or something. The episode was almost as dumb as the line.

Luke drinking titty milk is the best scene in this movie hands down.

It's also the most bizarre thing.

I had completely forgot this, It's about drat time we got some titties in star wars.

The fake out shot with the iron/steamer thing has to be a reference to Hardware Wars right?

Lmao I just remembered C3PO had Venom Snake’s arm at the end of tfa but not in tlj and that was probably JJ trying to insert his coy mystery bullshit and Johnson just going the gently caress is this and sweeping it under the carpet

He has the gold arm again at the end of TFA when everyone is waving goodbye to the falcon.

Saw it again and noticed Snoke has regular rear end blue eyes and not spooky sith eyes like Maul, Palpatine, and Anakin when he's in Dark side mode. Should have been obvious that he was going to go down like a punk.

Clone Troopers, Count Dooku and Jango Fett are all pretty recognizable stuff from AotC.

I'd also go as far as to say General Grievous is pretty recognizable at this point.

General public sees Clone troopers and Jango Fett and recognizes them as stormtroopers and Boba Fetts.

Real talk, though, the original trilogy alien names being so well-known is incredible. Do they even say the word "Ework" in Return of the Jedi?

Ewok and Palpatine are both never said in the original trilogy.

The only Yoda that sucks is Attack of the Clones Yoda. Original Phantom Menace Yoda was bad but they replaced him on the blu ray and looks good now. The only thing I don't understand is how they've never been able to keep his head/face the same shape. Even the new Last Jedi Yoda looked good, but at the same time didn't look quite right.

I can never find it but there’s a pretty good blog post from some guy running through he machete order with his 6-7 year old sons. Feel like it’s been posted in these threads a few times. Also their only exposure to Star Wars had been the Clone Wars cartoon so they all thought of Anakin as this cool hero and were devastated at the Vader turn.

Honestly this history chat looks interesting, but I've got a question.

Did they change Luke's "I've seen this kind of power once before" for the DVDs? I swear, and the internet seemingly backs me up, that the theatrical version was


But having just watched a Blu-ray copy, he says


The DVD has a really obvious splice cut when he says "in Ben Solo" so you don't see Luke's talking. The rest of the line the camera is squarely on Luke.

Maybe that was just the cut from the trailer. The “this isn’t going to go the way you think” line is spaced out a bit in the trailer compared to in the movie.

The droids have restraining bolts just like human slaves have bombs inside them to keep them from running away and not being slaves. Some of them have to be "unwilling" if those are necessary. And the droids that don't fall in line get sent to the torture chamber in Jabba's palace. Droids are slaves yo.

That score is not great. Was hoping they would go with something different like what's in the other trailers. Then again it's a movie that needed a new director to fix it. Of course they're keeping it as safe and samey as possible.
