The Galactic Senate

I've been watching some of Star Trek: Voyager on Netflix. I really didn't like the show when it was aired on Swedish public service, but I liked some of the characters and I stuck to it. One of the best things with streaming is that you can skip episodes you don't like (and with Voyager there are qu...

Yes, thanks Pep! I've corrected the post.

My problem with that is that I see Artoo and Chewie having as much of an emotional connection, if not more, and just didn't buy into Luke brushing off those two, but then responding to a couple minutes of basic, obvious truths from Yoda. I'd have preferred if they dropped the Yoda scene, and earlie...

Is this still a thing? Is RJ still doing a trilogy?

Yes, I haven't heard anything to the contrary. There has been a few articles as late as last month with speculation on what it might contain.

Hmm... You might be correct, SS...

And the last episode of the season was a rush job... There were a few episodes I liked, but overall the series is... uneven is a kind word for it. They should have set it at least 50 years after Voyager instead.

It (2017). We have an expression in Swedish (it's not that old and I understand it has started to spread to the U.S. as well): Fjortis . While it comes from the age of 14 (the number, 14, is fjorton in Swedish), it's a derogatory word for immature teens. I would describe It as a fjortis horror movi...

I don't like the look of the actor playing Han Solo.

Ah, yes: Sham Faux-lo.

Yes, and he looks too old.

No, I thought so too.

Unimpressed. I don't like the look of the actor playing Han Solo. Let's see how it turns out...

Hmmph that was forgettable, I guess we’ll get the full trailer tomorrow.

Yes, it says so at the end.

Agreed Magnus, if there isn't one, I'd say that's a hint and a half that they are behind schedule for that May release date. How long have we been seeing trailers/ads for Black Panther? More than three months time... Oh and if it is just a typo on the Mibban thing, then I hope it is the Planet with...

Jedidad, I think it's a pretty safe bet!

When I said Yoda's appearance, I meant that he was in the film. I did think he looked slightly off but that was never my big issue with him. I wonder if the mould had been affected by age for it to change the look of the puppet. Of course, I know that! My main point was to further what you said abo...

Yoda's appearance was one of the things that felt out of place and written by someone who hadn't watched the OT. And it was "crazy" Yoda that he used as a test for Luke. Yoda did not act that way before or since. And the puppet looked awful and nothing like either in the OT or PT. People involved w...

Discovery was just meh before the season break, but I gotta say, this show is officially off the chain now. Been hearing a lot of people hate these new twists, but I'm all on board. This isn't a spoiler thread, so I need to be vague, but I can't say that any of the major revelations were surprising...

I've been watching Vikings on HBO. I was surprised that Ragnar Lodbrok is the main character, although much liberty has been taken with the old stories. In the stories, Ragnar was the son of a Swedish king, Sigurd Ring, and not a peasant. The stories were also set many decades earlier than the show....

The last episode of Discovery, "The Wolf Inside" was a very predictable one and not as good as the previous episode.

Disney released a synopsis for Solo: A Star Wars Story today: Board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in Solo: A Star Wars Story, an all-new adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy. Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous crimin...

Ok, so they have a couple more months than I thought. But you're probably right about the push back if they re-shoot. I did think it was weird that they had another one coming so soon. Pretty sure all the new movies have come out in December.

Yes, that's why I think it'll pushed back.

Reshoots? Isn't the movie scheduled to release in March?

No, in May (May 25th). I'm sure they'll push it to December though. The reshoots haven't been officially confirmed.

Glad we figured that out!

I really don't think the Death Star will be in the movie.

Anyway, there are rumors that the trailer will be released on Monday. There's also talk about some reshoots going on.

So, the second half of the first season of Discovery has started and "Despite Yourself" (directed by Jonathan Frakes) was a darn good episode! I should say that quite possibly the best episode yet! There had been some foreshadowing and some things were predictable, but a things didn't quite go as I ...

^Yes. I had also hoped that the "Your mother" jokes would be confined to those novels, but alas...

According to The Digital Bits it's rumored that TLJ wil be released on DVD/Blu-Ray/4K Blu-Ray on March 27:

Today (or rather tomorrow on my part), Star Trek: Discovery continues on Netflix.

Emilia Clarke's character name os Qi'Ra was confirmed as images of new lego sets have been released. The sets also confirm the following film locations of Kessel (along with Kessel Run), Corellia and Death Star. Maybe IMDB actors can't say Death Star yet so used Mud Trooper. The Death Star?! :shock...
