Actually Peter Cushing did play many games of holochess against Alec Guinness, while waiting between takes on the set of the Millennium Falcon.

Funny. Many fair points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f83D18xL7VE

I am not going to watch an hour-long YouTube about a two-hour movie.

plinkett reviews are generally really incisive tbf (if somewhat... problematic occasionally)

i will never forgive you for exposing me to that comment section

Holy shit I didn't realise it was Red Letter Media, gtfo here with that.

Like, I was going to say that in the year of our lord 2018, I don't really want to watch something where the screengrab is a caricature of Comic Book Guy, whether the balance is praising or damning that straw man, I didn't realise it is the one site that tries to set both to 11.

I’ve never watched any of those rape-comedy review things but I guess at least they’re saving time by coming out before the movie now?

I'll be impressed if that's their last Star Wars video because that shit brings the clicks like nothing else they do

RLM’s “Best of the Worst” videos, in which they they clown on obscure Z-Grade horror and action flicks, are sooooo much more entertaining than anything where they’re obligated to weigh in on mainstream sci-fi/superhero franchises.

yeah, that's the only RLM that's worth a damn

the thing I mainly hate about these videos (besides the obvious) is that they really only criticize movies on a script level, and tend to treat screenwriting as the Alpha and Omega of filmmaking

plinkett feels like such an ancient unfunny meme at this point

xp iirc their vids about the sw prequels were thoroughly damning on a lot of levels - script, story, characterisation, acting, scenery, blocking... like the key moment at the end of the phantom menace one where they asked random people to describe in a few words the characters of han solo & princess leia, which they did no problem; then asked to describe princess amidala & qui gon jinn the response was "... uh... "

'Sanjuro' for the latter!

I love it when YouTube film critics use the word "retard" to complain about how movies represent disability

"this fictional greasy nerd who has never heard of a shower and is obsessed with dressing down the star wars prequels and sequels definitely has bodies in his basement" = pure comedy

Disney shareholders got to see the first Episode IX footage today. They just wrapped principal photography last month, so this is probably not effects heavy stuff.

I’m a Disney shareholder! Nobody invited me

damn, Kylo Ren is going to look at the Vader helmet

finally

phrasing

Star Wars Twitter is abuzz with what appears to be a reliable leak of the Episode IX title, just two weeks before the panel for the movie at Star Wars Celebration.

All I can find is 'Skywalkers'.

The Milk of Human Kindness

It's not Grim Resignation?

that would be lame, so probably correct

though I would hope it means that there will be a character named "Will"

I was actually going to jokingly suggest Journal of the Whills so I sort of almost guessed one of the words, kind of.

Fitting title, probably a very good time to write a will for this tedious series

Awesome cast!

L-R

Snoke, GNK power droid, Maz, Salacious Crumb, Chewbacca, Wicket

Star Wars X: The Force of the Jedis
Star Wars XI: The Death Star of the Force
Star Wars XII: The Force Returns and Also the Empire Returns

Sorry for spoilers.

Birth Of A Jedi

i hope there's a jedi named will in this one

title is kinda.................fascisty

triumph of the will of the force

yes this is what i was getting at iirc

Mein Kylo

wtf.. that title?

i got *chills* tho dunno about anyone else.

terible title, looks cool otherwise

Again with the Skywalkers

i'm on board for this one. good to see Lando, curious to see how they're going to handle the Carrie Fisher stuff, still a bummer that there won't be old Wedge in this series.

I ALWAYS GET EXCITED FOR THE TRAILERS

im glad they brought back billy dee...not super-thrilled about the title or that palpatine-esque laugh at the end. seems like jj is gonna be back to his shenanigans.

Rise of the anything should have been retired as an SF/Fantasy title a long time ago

they're trying to keep that R of the BLANK naming convention i guess, but it's super corny
