Am I the only one who's looking forward to Episode VIII but who couldn't care less about Rogue One?

Rogue One may be good or bad, but I am looking forward to more movies set in the wider universe with original characters.

All the Star Wars EU novels proved there's a lot of room in that universe for more stories. Most of those were lovely, too, but the good ones were really good.

As far as I know it is all remote controlled now. That Grant guy from Mythbusters is actually one of the few people who are rated by Lucasfilm to be an official R2D2 operator.

I think they put him in R2 for one quick scene so they can have his name in the credits. Then R2 is radio controlled for 99.9% of the time.

I figured Rey knew how to use force things because she'd been training with Luke when she was, like, three. Then she was taken away and dumped in the desert for some reason. Or no reason. But she was too young to really remember the details of the training, but it still left her with subconscious force skills.

It would be really neat if the next movie actually explained her background, and they're clearly setting that up by having her meet (or return to) Luke.

TIE Fighter was the best Star Wars game and people always pick the dark side when they have a choice, so odds are we'll get movies from the Empire point of view once they run out of "Young _____" stories to make.

Well I finally saw Rogue One. I thought it was entertaining and well-done but it has some plot holes I'm trying not to think about. Went with a friend who isn't a Star Wars fan and he was really confused by the beginning. It made sense to me, but I'm familiar with the universe and its bullshit.

CGI Tarkin and Leia didn't look bad though. Vader seemed more 'off' and he wasn't CGI.

Does anyone else wish they would change it up every so often and review good films rather than nerd schlock? In their year in review wrap-ups they will usually mention real movies and it's obvious they watch other stuff, too.

The Plinkett review of Titanic is pretty good. He picks the movie apart, but you can tell he really does like it.

SMG has this weird obsession with the Christ mythos that seems to cloud his judgement about just about everything, from the bits of him that I have read. He seems to think that 'storytelling' is a big no-no as he feels it's used by charlatans to distract people from striving to be more Jesus-y.

Abandoning storytelling and just focusing on power fantasies mixed with forced, unearned moral righteousness is the way to his heart. See: BvS for example.

Still, he writes well enough and I'm not opposed to reading an analysis that I disagree with as long as there's some thought put into it, even if I think the thinking is way off base.

gotta cite Zizek in there too

Rey is Lukes daughter who had her memory wiped to protect her after his school was attacked. She is force trained and will start to remember things, or have her memories restored by daddy Luke.

SMG is a laughably lame gimmick poster and if you like him go post in CD and suck his dick there.

I got a question. What emotions were Rey and Luke experiencing at the end of TFA? Because that scene baffles me. Rey starts crying and I don't know why, and Luke just stares at her, and I think that's because some weird lady showed up on his island with his lightsaber and he's like "what", but that seems like an odd emotion to end the movie on

"Hey uh, you didn't happen to find a hand with that, did you?"

I always read the "the Jedi" in "Return of the Jedi" as referring to the institution rather than specifically to Luke.

But if all of his trainee Jedi got killed and he's been jerking it with squirrels for 20 years, I guess that wasn't the case.

The next movie should have been Luke and the Jedi Academy. That concept was already full of multi-ethnic teenagers, and probably one with a disability.
