They've been blowing up Death Star after Death Star and getting nowhere. Maybe the trick is to not blow up the Death Star.
― jmm, Thursday, 19 April 2018 19:41 (five years ago) link
maybe they should build their own death star
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 19 April 2018 19:41 (five years ago) link
and then the two death stars could make sweet sweet death star love and have a baby death star. a death starlet.
All these Death Stars. Can't anyone make a iLife Star?

boo typo
The prequels are the worst star wars movies and they have zero death stars. The Han Solo movie looks like it might be terrible and also not have a death star. Empire Strikes Back and the Last Jedi are good despite not having death stars appearing but it seems likely in both movies that a death star is being built somewhere off screen. Death stars are the secret ingredient that make these movies great and they should not be mocked.

iirc the ending of Episode I includes Anakin flying his ship into the core of a conspiciously large droid ship to blow it up

i would be shocked if "solo" features no death star. i mean the first three prequels had the shoehorned fanservice scenes with like the plans appearing on christopher lee's monitor or w/e, and the fans bought it, so i feel like it would not be hard to cut away to the emperor and vader, planning to shut down the dangerous, unlicensed "kessel" race across the galaxy, and striding through their architects' full-size mockup of different control room schemes for a top-secret battle station. they could even create a young mads mikkelsen with cgi, to be showing it to them, with a closeup on his face to indicate there's more to him than meets the eye. only true fans who have seen deep-cut mega blockbuster "rogue one" will catch this reference!!! aren't cinematic universes the best!!!???

It'll be some ominous rumour about the Empire buying up or appropriating massive amounts of material and labour. "They're building something, Solo... something big."
― jmm, Thursday, 19 April 2018 21:51 (five years ago) link
If you look closely, you can see the Death Star go by in the background during the Kessel Run.
― jmm, Thursday, 19 April 2018 21:53 (five years ago) link
"something big" version seems very, very plausible. and there'll be a whiff of the imperial march on the score even though the scene overall is supposed to have a totally different tone.

what should happen is they finally make peace with the death star which has become a sentient being on its own Like in MOana they add teh heart of skywalker and it becomes a sexy big tree lady that fixes things

What if the heroes slowly discover that there is also a Death Moon and a Death Heart and a Death Clover and a Death Diamond and that Lucky the Deathprecaun has been pulling all of the evil strings this whole time, what if that.

About time!
Actually, I haven't seen any of the new ones yet. Should I? I've never been a die hard or anything, but I've heard spoilers and I'm not sure watching movies where [that one] and [the other one] get killed off in succession has much appeal to me?
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 10 July 2018 11:30 (five years ago) link
they’re moderately diverting, worth a look if you’ve got the time i guessrogue one is the best of the new batch, haters don’t @ me

Rey as Palpatine's granddaughter is kludgey, that's why people hate it.

Yes, I know...
I've enjoyed re-watching this on TV, btw... all three of the new movies are pretty fun to revisit (and/or half-watch in the background). They all have their issues (and don't hold a candle to the original two), but I like 'em!

On second thought, I guess it’s no less force(-d) than the notion that Palpy’s natural son wouldn’t have been Force-sensitive, and that Palpy wouldn’t have kept closer track of him, etc.I guess I missed the “Strand-Cast” discussion in The Madalorian. I know cloning is, er, long-established in Star Wars... but it feels a little too “sci-fi” somehow, at this level.

kind of blows my mind that after attempting to distance themselves from the uneven plotting and scattershot ideas of the old Star Wars books/comics/etc. the episode 9 crew was thinking “wow, so how do we end this” only to crib half the plot from comic series Dark Empire
