Torpedoes made sense, whereas I had no loving clue what happened to the New Republic after Starkiller Base blew up 6 or so random planets.

It's just the Empire and the Rebels again.

It's a laser sword that can cut through anything except other laser swords. The amount of slashing is actually quite absurd because it's much easier to deflect a slash than a thrust--this is why stage fighting has so many slashes.

Guess what, it is stage fighting!

I just rewatched the scene from TLJ where Leia "flies" and I'm a bit confused. Why is her ship standing completely still? Weren't they running away from the First Order before?

Leia would be moving along with it at the same speed, you don't instantly 'stop' when you leave a moving vehicle.

When you step out of a moving car you don't keep floating forward next to it at the same speed either. Sure, you don't stop. Byt you definitely get left behind.

Leia is floating "above" the ship with a bunch of debris when she wakes up and does her Force thing. So I guess the ship wasn't moving? Weird.

I remember reading a Kevin J Anderson book in the 90s that totally agrees with you. The Courtship of Princess Leia, I think. So that's the calibur of idea we're talking about, here.

That book was written by Dave Wolverton, you dumb gently caress!

I spent my Friday night photoshopping what "Punished Solo" might look like because I'm a turbonerd. That "wandering ronin" type a goon mentioned influenced the concept.



It's a bit much. Maybe lose the hoodie, the fingerless gloves, a couple of the belts and definitely the man bun.

This is because a blaster bolt reflects off of Anakin's fighter that one time in TPM isn't it? Except they're idiots and failed to notice that was because he got the shields back up (there is a blur around the ship showing this after he says the shields are up).

Calm down. No.

Salacious b crumb loved to laugh, got electricity shot into his face, and was last seen aboard a large vehicle as it exploded. I can only conclude he's going to be the villain of episode x

It'll be his clone: Salaciouus B. Cruumb.

Just showed Empire to my son for the first time. He really liked it, especially the ongoing bit where Vader killed his Admirals one by one when they let him down.

Something that struck me this time - what exactly went on during the brunch Vader hosted for Han and Leia? So awkward.

They probably had mimosas. I don't think anyone was planning on driving afterwards.

Tarkin only works in RotS because they shot him from a distance. If they'd gone any tighter it would have looked like utter poo poo.

Snoke is a far worse name than Sleazebaggano because characters actually say it out loud and he's also supposed to be intimidating or something.

'Bullet time' is The Matrix.

e: or at least, that's the film that everyone started copying it from. I don't know if technically they were the first but my understanding is that a lot of those shots were pioneering cinematography. Not merely slow motion but panning the camera around a scene while in slow motion.

Grrr it's a pet peeve of mine when people call all camera moves pans.

Wonder what would happen if you used younger Han and Lando to go through some of Star Wars's goofier aspects

Like giant space otters, or Waru

You'd probably get some fun, weird stories. I'm not sure what else could possibly happen. Like, rioting in the streets? Unlikely.

What kind of projects does he want to do, though? Inside Llewyn Davis was made in 2013 and since then he's been in like half a dozen dumb action movies.

He's done all kinds of poo poo since Inside Llewyn Davis. Check his IMDB if that's not too much of an effort.
