I really thought TLJ was just OK but the endless whining about it from both plot pedants and sexist jerks makes me wish I liked it more
― Simon H., Saturday, 13 April 2019 01:27 (five years ago) link
it was really good imo
― k3vin k., Saturday, 13 April 2019 02:45 (five years ago) link
mostly due to driver and the luke arc
the camera work, new take on force cave introspection, and Yoda dialogue sold TLJ and lots of bits were extra gravy
I was probably one of the most actives posters on the first Star Wars new trilogy thread for the force awakens and I’m probably bowing out, outside of posting dumb ideas that seem whimsical. Years go by faster with age and i’m guessing I’ll blink and we’ll be at December. Godspeed, you rebels

Maybe the desert planet is just Endor after the ecological devastation of having a planetoid explode just outside its upper atmosphere
yeah after reading Seveneves I remember thinking "oh shit, that means the forest moon of Endor was probably obliterated by Death Star II debris, bright side they could do a Jurassic Park reboot where future Endorians recreate Ewoks from ancient DNA and they run amok and kill everyone"

^^ This is why I've seen all the recent SW and Marvel things at smaller theatres out in the suburbs or someehing, usually days or a week after the films open. Black Panther is a recent exception. I can't deal with the vocal uber fans "awwww"-ing every time a character dies or "wooohooo" -ing whenever someone pops up on onscreen. No, I don't "hate fun" but I really hate overtly vocal expressions of fandom. Makes me cringe. Cosplayers as well.

droids keep getting smaller while lightsabers, like hairdryers, remain stuck in the same form factor as they were in the 70s

the lando and chewie bit is actually the first time the post-credits scene has been used in a teaser trailer; JJ still has some tricks up his sleeve, you see

Since I didn't go to Star Wars Celebration this year for the first time since 2012, I've been at home this weekend watching all the livestreams and stuff. Not a lot was revealed during the Episode IX panel aside from the title, some stills (new costumes, Naomi Ackie's new character, Rose and Rey talking in what appears to be a Resistance base, etc.). But yeah, I was watching when the Ian McDiarmid thing happened, and the room went pretty insane.
Also watched the livestreams for the upcoming new "The Mandalorian" show, which actually looks pretty good. The sizzle reel and trailer that were shown were blacked out on the stream, but they've leaked to Reddit and some other places. (Recap and photos at https://www.starwars.com/news/swcc-2019-9-things-we-learned-from-the-mandalorian-panel) They're using a lot of practical and in-camera effects and models, and the actors are doing a lot of their own stunts.

not related to the new movie, but got a bit of a scare when I went to look up Boushh on Wookiepedia the other day and was met with a distressingly short article. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Boushh
Fortunately, I realized that they had divided each page into Canon and Legends tabs: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Boushh/Legends
"Legends" is obviously where the ridiculousness lives.
