star wars 9 grim resignation thread

I'm hoping for another Babe sequel

John Carter 2-27

well sure yeah theres a million reasons for him not to do it, still, fun to fantasize abt a dumb bounty hunter movie made by a director with actual skills at imaginative world building

True story: Jedi and Sith orders were started in the same building by some really talented people with good intentions. Original miniseries order extended to 3 full seasons. Light-nunchucks are involved

Paul Reiser guest stars

This is the greatest tumblr post I have ever seen. I want this to happen.

It's his kid, Joey Palpatine

imagining him still going "ahhhhhhhhhh!" as he falls for decades

"if only there was a way we could fly with the Force!"

He used the lightning from his fingers to form a Faraday Cushion.

it’s like poetry, it rhymes

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

*splat*

The Fall of Palpatine

I was talking to a friend recently about how before The Force Awakens, the character and plot material in trailers/interviews made it relatively clear what we were in for, what kind of things would happen, where we'd end up by the movie's end. While not without faults, The Last Jedi kind of blew that out of the water and I'm just wanting to be shown something new and completely unexpected. It's freeing!

Yea that's exactly where I am out. Zero expectations for what might occur

*at

I'm going to laugh my ass off if I see a goddamn Ewok, that's my stance

I don't plan to watch this movie but if I hear there are Ewoks I'll be tempted

love those guys!

How about "an absolutely adorable new character: Babu Frik"

even Ewoks won't make me watch a JJ movie

wait I saw his impossible mission a few weeks ago but I forgot it already

Simon Pegg works in an office and...... I'm out

They made a movie of the Commodore 64 game?

They made an Eliza movie

You rang?

Final trailer tonight, tickets on sale tonight, there's this for now:

And to quote our own Eliza D:

I was only half-joking the other day when I declared that now that my last planned vacation of the year has ended, I can devote myself to being hyped for Star Wars

xp And someone else pointed out that that appears to be the Colossus from Resistance behind it.

Eliza, should I try checking out Resistance again? It seemed aimed at a younger audience than Rebels, which I enjoyed a lot, when I tried a few episodes.

IMO it took about 4 episodes to get good, and then it got really good. It's definitely pitched a bit younger but the storytelling is pretty solid and it's not afraid to explore more adult themes, too.

noted!

I thought TFA was pretty much fine, and TLJ was very good, and I am certain that JJ will make me angry with this one.

so in the first act, they visit a desert planet to find the galaxy's greatest pod racer

I'm hopefully not going to go see this b/c I don't have the energy to be made angry by star wars

Also spotted in this epic shot are Nebulons, Brah’atoks, U-Wings, Lucrehulks, MC75s, Nebulon Bs, Sphyrna-Classes (aka the Hammerhead Cruiser from Knights of the Old Republic), what looks like a Baleen-class heavy freighter (the ship Han Solo and Chewie have in The Force Awakens), a Defender Class Corvette, maybe even a YT-2400 light freighter, Lancer-class pursuit craft, a MG-100 StarFortress SF-17, a Vakbeor-class cargo frigate, a Free Virgillia-class Bunkerbuster, and many, many more. All of which are real things on Wookieepedia if you want to check.

So hop to.

oh jeezus tickets for a fuckin December movie

it's a maaaadhouse

Are lucrehulks what the thinly disguised jewish stereotype aliens fly?

Different stereotype I thought but

Anyway, AMC theaters already have their digital lines going so you might want to consider that...

Alamo also on sale now. Basically, get on it.

I'm pretty sure everyone will be able to find a cinema showing this once it opens, at a time that's convenient to them

Amazing!

(Why yes I have first showing tickets for the Thursday night.)

First (non-3D) showing at my theater was already sold out except for the very front row, had to get tickets for the next show.

got my ticket at the only real IMAX in town. only $7 thanks to Regal's unlimited plan.

sadly one of my besties who always makes the flicks with me can't make it :(

That was kinda vague.

I do like the hypergrandiose arrangement of the main theme, but Williams is fully bowing out with this one so why not.
