The Fall of Palpatine
― jmm, Thursday, 3 October 2019 18:58 (four years ago) link
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!

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
― mh, Monday, 21 October 2019 18:26 (four years ago) link
xp And someone else pointed out that that appears to be the Colossus from Resistance behind it.
― I don't get wet because I am tall and thin and I am afraid of people (Eliza D.), Monday, 21 October 2019 18:28 (four years ago) link
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.
― mh, Monday, 21 October 2019 18:31 (four years ago) link
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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