The Galactic Senate

I'm not sure if it is now, or ever was canon, but in the Force Unleashed game, Vader and the Emperor manipulate your character in to helping bring the Alliance together so they can wipe out their enemies in "one swift stroke". So, he's kind of telling the truth when he says "even the...

JJ was a producer on TLJ so he didn't stop it. Disney knew the direction Rian was going and didn't stop it. It's not like they didn't know a thing or JJ either. He knew exactly what he was doing. I loved what Rian did. Did anyone really know anything about the Emperor when he died? No. One should b...

So after we are lead to believe that Maz accompanied Han, Chewie, and Finn back to the Resistance Base after the First Order destroyed her castle on Takodana in TFA, so that we can accept that Poe would have met her despite zero screen time together, we should also believe that Poe genuinely introd...

They were completely wasted and I'm beyond pissed with what they did with Snoke. Movie and half spent building this dude up. Super powerful. Decaying face. WHO IS HE??? Oh never mind, he's dead. WHAT? Think about the scenes in TLJ that feature Snoke and try to imagine any backstory being presented ...

I feel like that is kind of a huge deal and it was explained and moved past in a manner of like 10 seconds. Kind of crappy story telling there. Also, to the OP's question....I'm in the same boat. I had this discussion today with a friend of mine who saw TLJ on opening night with me. We both think t...

Porgs were good but that quivering lip Porg as Chewie was about to munch one was a shot too much - the guilt inducing stares of the crowd was enough. That was the shot that sealed my eternal love for Porgs because it's the exact face my dog makes when he's begging. The giant eyes, the slight tilt t...

While rewatching TFA over the weekend something occurred to me. Everything in Rey's vision when she first touched the saber has already happened, except one. Luke has already fought Vader on Bespin, she was already left on Jakku, Ben had already burned the temple, etc. She then later fought Kylo in...

The entirety of the New Republic government was destroyed in the Hosnian system.

Upon my first viewing I have to say that there are things to like, quite a few things not to like a few things that the filmmakers had forgotten about since TFA as there's a serious continuity error (the Knights of Ren seems to have been completely forgotten about). Snoke calls Kylo "Master of...

I still don't have complete thoughts about this movie but I know I absolutely adore it. I know it's going to be a terribly divisive movie with the fanbase because how incredibly different it is for a Star Wars movie but that is exactly why I loved it so. It was not at all what I expected and I canno...

The Visual Dictionary has leaked: https://imgur.com/a/EC0jP Yup. I gave in. There are spoilers but only for certain character backgrounds and for the opening sections of the movie, from what I gather. Seems they did a good job keeping it as vanilla as possible. I think these images will be the last...

Quentin Tarantino doing Star Trek?!

Ugh, no thanks.

Here we are, a little over a week away from the first showings in the USA. How are anticipation levels for you all? I can say for myself that my hype levels aren't anywhere near as high as they were for TFA but that doesn't mean I'm not excited. If I had to guess it's because I have complete and utt...

I finished the campaign yesterday, MM. Kapit, I'm interested to hear your thoughts, story wise, once you have finished the campaign. Finally wrapped up the campaign last night. Overall I enjoyed it. The story is pretty cliche as far as Star Wars stories are concerned. It would've worked a lot bette...

Filthy Imperial

Justice League - 5/10 An improvement over BvS, SS, and MoS but still just a shell of a movie. The CG was laughably bad throughout most of the movie, which is really great when every character in the movie requires CG at some point. Ezra Miller and Jason Momoa are the best parts of the movie. Ben Aff...

I'm on the last mission for the single player. It's been very short and very rushed, but I appreciate what it's done as far as storytelling is concerned. Spaceship flight is SO MUCH BETTER this time around. It's insane how much better it feels. I'll get more into multiplayer once I finish the campai...

Ok last night Hera pulled a similar move in her X wing on SWR...basically an engine stall neutral drop in space. All I’m seeing is a lot of people who are FAR more skilled pilots than Luke. If you want the canon explanation, Luke is acknowledged as an elite - possibly legendary - pilot but hasn't b...

Some want Luke to being pulling down star destroyers with the force and whipping up galaxay tornadoes to kill all the boogie men in space. It's like wtf? When did star wars become about being Superman in space? I think The Force Unleashed went a long way towards to making casual fans believe that s...

A cup from the Hawkins Theaters chain may have accidentally let slip the first image of Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo. http://www.slashfilm.com/solo-a-star-wars-story-first-look/ It appears to be a drawing or painting, or some terrible Photoshop filter of some sort, so this may not be the best first ...

Rian Johnson + More Star Wars = Sign me up.

I've been a fan of the dude for years and I'm excited that they're giving him the keys to the kingdom to establish an entirely new part of the universe.

Seriously? Or am I losing my sense of sarcasm? Why? What significance does either of them have? To me, it's like Sy Snootles vs. Salacious Crumb. What are you smoking, old tires? Or am I missing something again? I think the whole thing was an exercise in misdirection. Which makes considerably less ...

Binged Stranger Things season 2 over the weekend.

Despite slowing down in the middle and having one episode that just didn't fit, this series continues to be a ton of fun.

While I'm not a fan of it, there weren't exactly a lot of options for this one.

Han: A Star Wars Story
Han Solo: A Star Wars Story
You'll Never Guess How He Wins the Falcon: A Star Wars Story
When Hairy Met Solo: A Star Wars Story

That would be absolutely fantastic.

Siamese Sith wrote: ↑October 10th, 2017, 2:19 pm Ok serious question, who would win in a fight? Chewie’s Porg co pilot or Jar Jar?

Porg.

No contest.

I think if all we saw was Rey handing the lightsaber to Luke and Grumpy Luke swinging it exactly the way he did the first time he held one in Ben Kenobi’s place in ANH I would’ve been more satisfied..... Personal preference, but I know that's a surprise I would rather have in the theater than in a ...

Tons of fun to unpack here! It seems like we're getting a giant space battle in the first act with the evacuation of D'Qar. I'm stoked for Finn v. Phasma. I hope that fight is given time to play out. I hope that little porg in the Falcon lives, and I hope we find out that he's the actual Last Jedi. ...

Blade Runner 2049 - A-

It gets a minus only for being almost 3 hours long. Otherwise it was a fantastic, absolutely gorgeous movie that holds up as one of the greatest sequels ever made.
