Altered Carbon Season 2

I'll admit, I likely would've gone with Idris Elba, but Anthony should do well if he's given good material to work with.

Re: Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order

SPOILERS ahead!

I've always wanted to craft my own Lightsaber. Galaxies end allowed me to embrace that fantasy, but Jedi Fallen Order allowed me to REALLY customize my creation...and thus I share what I built in game with all of you.

Re: The Mandalorian

Actually come to think of it if they were going to do a live action Hondo it would almost certainly be in the upcoming series focusing on his very best friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi. It would be interesting if the series went further in the Mad Max direction and have Mando just drop in on what's really so...

Re: [Star Wars] The NuCanon Positivity thread

Well, I have completed "Jedi Fallen Order" and overall I'd say this was an enjoyable experience.

I will also...

Re: The Mandalorian

Mandalorian reminds me quite a bit of the Mad Max films, especially in the way that it builds its world through action and imagery instead of exposition. It's not quite as masterfully done as the Mad Max films, especially Fury Road, but I appreciate the way they develop the world simply by showing ...

Re: The Mandalorian

Solo wasn't supposed to be a tentpole, it just went so massively overbudget (the number I heard was $100 million) that it ended up needing that kind of revenue to break even. Although given Hollywood accounting practices, I'm frankly a bit suspicious about every part of that. I should have said "Th...

Re: The Mandalorian

plus it's nice to see that Taika Waititi isn't hamming it up, I was afraid IG-11 would be a mix of Korg and K-2SO, but instead he's just a cold robot who is a little too eager to self-destruct (the opposite of Scud the Disposable Assassin I guess). As physically imposing as the old super battle dro...
