Re: Where is the logic in this?
One of my big complaints was that the movie was so eager to explain where Han got his name, his ship, even his frickin' dice... but kept 90% of his relationship development with Chewbacca within the first third. To me, that should have been the core of the movie. Also as stated above, comparing Solo...

The ____ Cinematic Universe
It's become a common joke that everything filmed in the 2010s (and maybe now the 2020s) has to be an adaptation, sequel, or reboot of something else. I don't love the trend, but lots of cool properties are getting more exposure so I won't complain too much. If you were suddenly in control of a major...

Re: The Rise of Skywalker (Spoilers: Read at Your Own Risk)
Point remains the Jedi have power, and after all the endless wars through time, you have to wonder if indeed there is some push-back effect, you begin to see how utterly meaningless it is to try and keep the peace, when war is inevitable, and always will be. Hell, even after the Imperial era, there...

Re: The Last Jedi Two Years Later
This feels like another Klingon dong situation, where you get hung up on some point (usually anatomical) and use it as a focal point to bash the rest of the movie. Again, I have problems with Last Jedi . But I'd rather talk about the substance of the film. As for Hermit Luke? The backstory for why h...

Re: The Planned Star Wars Trilogy is Dead
Okay, you've somehow managed to avoid answering whether you'd read any NuStar Wars despite half a dozen posts, in favor of complaining again about corporate greed (fair to do, to be clear - as someone who works in infectious disease research, I have plenty of criticisms of the pharma industry). But ...

Re: The Planned Star Wars Trilogy is Dead
Yes, because they burned bridges with me badly in 2014. They might eventually heal that damage, but it's going to take a long time, and their leadership approach does not impress me. Many fans also had those bridges burned in 2017. That you wanna pretend online complaints are somehow not indicative...

Re: Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker
Um, am I missing something? As far as I can tell, the trailer isn't suggesting Luke is literally coming back in the flesh. So as far as the Sequel Trilogy goes, the most "180" they could go is for his legacy to carry on in New New Jedi Order (a la the New New Crusaders from Ordinary Boy ). I thought...

Re: The Final Star Wars Trailer
Let's also take a look at Star Wars Legends, as you yourself has said, Legends popularity is picking up steam with more and more people saying that want Legends back. Yet, it must be remembered that before Disney bought Star Wars Legends was suffering from severe Seasonal Rot with Legacy of the For...

Re: So I've been thinking about checking out the Stargate franchise
I agreed with you that making the Klingons who by TNG had settled into "brutal warrior race" look more black was bad. I also never contested that the Republican base is mostly white while the Democrats usually have black support. I just think fixating on Trump comparisons specifically and then makin...

Re: Just For Fun What are Your Least Favorite Star Wars Stories?
Legacy of the Force. WHAT THE F#^(K WERE THEY THINKING WHEN THEY WROTE THIS!?!? It's overly padded, pointlessly kills off beloved characters for Shock Value and it's plot is so convoluted I'm amazed ANYONE can follow this. No disagreement here. I remember slogging through the half-dozen large hardb...
