Ho boy did they ever. People wrote death threats to Disney execs over some of their terrible decisions in that era. You probably haven't heard of most ofmovies from that era because they were mostly flops. Robin Hood and The Rescuers were their last good movies of the 70s. As far as terrible...

What time were the Battle Droids faceless soulless killing machines? They could be shattered by a light push in Episode 1, lost in droves to Gungans riding giant chickens, and even their tanks were taken out wholesale by Jar Jar's slapstick antics. In episode 2 they were given silly voices...

I wanna note, that's not what happened, at all. Ahsoka was able to fight Vader and hold him off for a couple of minutes, in a fighting retreat for a good bit of it though she did a few charges of her own. This bought enough time for Ezra and co. to escape before Vader beat her down enough to...

This is actually completely normal. Creativity is the domain of the starving artist and the small-time operator, it is not compatible with focus groups and endless team meetings. Too many cooks spoil the broth and all that. Big companies can put more wow and pizazz on the screen with bigger...

Same for me. "The quality and buildup of Avengers, but it's the OT heroes teaching a new generation of heroes with Mark Hammil, Carrie Fischer, and Harrison Ford already on board" was a very good opening. Rogue One was also a nice appetizer that looked like they were headed in the right...

Yeah, that was one of the most bafflingly poorly choreographed fights in cinema history period, certainly the worst one in the entire SW movie franchise. There were no real stakes or emotional component, Snoke was already dead and killing the guards wouldn't do anything to save the Resistance...

I'm genuinely not sure it really would have been any worse. Traviss would probably have pushed for Finn to be much more badass and have a larger role. Then again I'm pretty sure the reason Finn was turned into a clown and then sidelined was Chinese anti-black racism and a desire to please the...

I've seen quite a few fans theorize that Satine was actually intended as an F-you to Karen Traviss, who had become wildly unpopular with both the fandom and Lucasfilms for her aggressive taunting and flaming of fans at that point. And since her thing was super-powerful warrior Mandalorians...

So getting away from the hotel, I ran into an interesting fan theory recently. P:adme Amidala is so suicidally brave and so utterly bereft of survival instincts in the Clone Wars because, for her, there have never been any consequences for her actions. The Force had predetermined she was going...

Eleven thousand for the 4400+ square foot penthouse suites larger than most people's houses. For the more reasonably-sized 4-600 square foot cabins, which looks to me to be in the same size range as the biggest room at the Starcruiser, it looks like you can easily find tickets for around 10K...

I know right? It's unfathomable to me that they screwed up this badly and managed to make such a simple concept so hideously overpriced for so little productivity. They spent 1.2 billion dollars on the hotel, you could almost build an actual space station for that*. Taking a look at actual...

Oh, I wouldn't doubt it's possible, it's just that this image is obviously a fake. Daisy Ridley is currently starring in the movie Magpie that's shooting right now, they can't possibly have costumed set shots of her for a Star Wars movie that won't come out for several more years...

Pretty sure that's a fake.

This is a clear opportunity to use Luuke instead. Him being uncanny valley wouldn't be out of character.

I genuinely don't understand why people think the whole "Dark Greetings" is so silly in the first place. It doesn't strike me as any odder than the tendency Americans have to immediately pronounce a blessing on anyone who sneezes. Every culture has its different customs.
