Does that mean Disney are actually acknowledging the prequels exist???

it's because focus testing denied him the death he was fated for after helping finn out at the start of tfa

poe only exists as a person for about 20 minutes of film, everything after he's a soulless husk imitating one

Were the dice visible in any format of the OT? I could infer that they were supposed to be Han’s but at first I thought “What the hell are those?”

Dr.Radical posted:

Ok yeah, no way I could see those while watching on VHS as someone said above. I remember seeing the special editions in theaters and not seeing them either. I wasn’t particularly looking too closely though

I forgot about Chewies radio shack headset. Who is he even talking to with those? Hans not wearing any

Are both clone wars cartoons canon or just the cgi one

Also can anyone name a worse Actor/Actress then Emilia Clarke who has risen to prominence in the last 15 years? She is not and has never been good in anything, we're just kind of used to a stilted and weird dragon queen in GOT

To be fair, if the EU didn't exist, Maul coming back would be the standard, "Whaaaa? I thought he was dead!" twist that can happen in movies and shows and comic books all the time. It's that old rule of, "If you don't see a body, he's not dead." You saw him with his lower torso cut off and falling, but who cares? This is Star Wars where they seem to be able to heal anything. Point is he's alive. That the cartoon shows have already covered how he came back kinda doesn't matter. What matters is what they do with him now.

At one point, when Obi-Wan kills Darth Maul, he just fell in the pit. I looked at it and thought this isn't going to work because, if people like him enough, they're going to want him to come back and they're going to assume somehow he gets out of it. So I had to cut him in half to say that this guy's gone, he's history, he ain't coming back.

I feel like I definitely need to read up on why Darth Maul was in the movie though. I did not understand that part at all and I’m guessing it’s tied to The Clone Wars and Rebels shows?

i don't know i think it's kind of messed up to talk up the first female droid, introduce her as a droid rights advocate, then blow her up and jam her brain into a ship so she can be the nav computer for all eternity

nobody's "confused". dude got cut in half and he fell down a shaft. you don't survive that. it's dumb they brought him back.

We have a canon death before ANH for maul, his movie would be even more useless than rogue one.

Hate that kind of poo poo, trying to legend up every aspect of the original trilogy. The Falcon has a peculiar dialect because it's been illegally modified to hell and back not because it's possessed by Lando's girlfriendtron

Outside of a small pocket of the Internet, I don't think the majority of the moviegoing populace is aware of, or gives a flying gently caress about, the re-shoots. The reasons for Solo's failure are simple:

- Terrible release window
- Terrible marketing campaign (remember, we didn't see anything, not even a promo photo, until three months before release)

Was the whole train carrying it? I thought they had to specifically target that carriage because the rest was full of other supplies like food and guns and other stuff you'd find in a military transport.

There is foreshadowing of the ram, just not like that. When Leia floats back through the destroyed bridge, she floats directly through the hologram of Snoke's ship, which breaks up.

The bloated runtime, meandering subplots that ultimately go nowhere, punched up jokey dialogue in the middle of serious moments and reset to Rebels vs. Empire unto eternity all feel like committee rewrites to me.

I saw somewhere that people are thinking Mark Hamill won't be in it because he's shaved off his beard.

Rogue One did better than Solo tho

Was this Karen Davis honorable jetpack military men bullshit before or after KOTOR because I'm pretty sure mando's were pretty much vikings that tried to start a war with jedi and be all gun-ho about trophies and glory of battle existed back then too.
