I would almost respect the flex if that was actually the case. Except I'm pretty sure it's a case of Rian Johnson years-after attempted ass-covering and principle-erection since he can't really do the 'It was my subverting expectations-y masterpiece!' anymore and get away with it since...yeah...

Would emphasize this. Star Wars stories are, certainly, free to roam around in the Outer Rim tracking bounty hunters aping the old spaghetti westerns, or follow outright criminal syndicates and/or those struggling against them, or foray into political shenanigans or espionage actions or...

Y'know, something I'm semi-sorta still sadded out by thanks to the sequel-trilogy is that I was unaware of or just completely forgot this was even in development just because of how rarely I peek into Disney-Wars and it's something twelve year-old me would've been nerding out over. But, to...

"You don't understand, she's totally original! She just has four extra robo-arms that wield extra lightsabers for her." "Where did she get the extras?" "Off of Jedi she kill--errr---she made them with her evil Sith powers." Anyhow, even as something of a willing recipient of the anime-Star...

For its failures, this is one thing that Rogue One at least had the decency to edge up to and imply with...protagonist hearthrob assassin-man and the quiet 'Kill 'em all' mentality and orders he got independent of the actual 'face' of the rebellion. How well it actually did that is probably...

The Empire is no more, the New Republic--once considered the new hope of galactic governance has been torn by division and deception from within, and extremist holdouts have slaughtered millions using weapons of mass destruction and engineered plagues. All you need is a loss of hyperspace...

Honestly could work. Imperial-pilot-turned-Smuggler paired-up with the Imperial-agent-turned-smuggler. One of them being quicker in their change in loyalty while the other struggled with an imprinted desire to kill the Imperial-pilot-turned-smuggler's friend... Actually, I'm surprised I've not...

In the true spirit of 'Let the Past D--nevermind!' Local theater brought back classics to present because of all the comcough covidy goodness going on, and Empire Strikes Back was one of them that me and a few others went to see. Very cool to see on the big screen as something I'd never done...

A Stormtrooper--or just a general 'peon' serving the new evil force in the universe that awakens to the Force--perhaps even as a early-comer and herald to a widespread...universalization? Or at least a greater spread of active ability to use or 'recognize' Force powers and existence to people...

I've not seen Boyega in anything else, but still suspect his role suffered from neglect or intentionally being written as a C3PO esque comedy part rather than a serious one it deserved. Thus his bait and switch from jedi status and janitorial past jobs that come up in the first two movies as...

Speaking for myself, it's a matter of *bombast* (bombad bombast, one might even say :p ). The Imperial March, even to a non-music-nerd person like me who can barely describe her own feelings on why she likes a piece of music, is awe-inspiring and dramatic because of the bombast and authority...

Putting my spacegoing war-triangles aside because, seriously, it's really hard to compete with Star Destroyers and their iterations in cool-factor for me, I'd have to go with probably the Dradnaught cruiser perhaps exactly because it's such an understated and somewhat 'boring' design. It looks...

As a friend of mine who likes the prequels used for this exact point (with some degree of convincing me, at least)--the prequels gave the world, and especially the internet, a rich field of silliness to joke with and share. They are the film equivalent of groaner dad-jokes at a BBQ that people...

Original Trilogy seemed to be a pretty generic underdog/righteous-rebellion story. Mapping politics onto it later invited Vietnam parallels but...Well, in deleted scenes you had stuff like Biggs warning Luke about the nationalizations of the economy the Empire was engaged in. Which, maybe was...

So, finished the Mandalorian by sponging-off friends more inclined to give the Mouse their money than I currently am. Pretty well done, overall? I hesitate to say 'great' just...because, I dunnow, I don't know if I can bring myself to apply that to any SW property since the prequels...But it's...

*preen preen* I was right! *preen preen* The clickbait was clickbait. Well...He's right you know. Williams honestly comes off in interviews as someone who'd be fun to have a drink with and talk to. Which isn't really anything any other actor in the SW movies have going for them (or a lot of...

Eh, in honesty it sounds like the Esquire interviewer was quote-mining for something that'd attract views because there's little context, nothing further on the matter, and they refer to Williams as 'he' throughout. Seems more like what might've been a relatively innocuous or offhand statement...

I. Dunnow, witholding the plan from anyone aboard the rebel ships seems silly when the alternative in peoples minds is 'we're running until out of fuel, and then we shall die'. That kind of prospect would encourage damn-fool behavior. But, that aside, the dreadnought getting blown isn't shown...

Just now noticing this. She...She does know there was an extensive EU developed over, like, 30 years of comic books and full-length novel series, right? Like...Even if they still throw the things from 'canon' and hare off on their own iteration of things, they own SW and all those belonged in...

Fandoms going to fandom--what value is there in arguing over who the best waifu in anime is, or what Star Trek Captain is the best, or Female Space Marines 😝 . That said, the explosion of internet 'criticism' and 'review' and the conspiracies/leaks/etc. discussion is somewhat ho-humming...
