Star Wars - SPOILERS INSIDE

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Maybe Vader banged some other braud after Padme with his melted dong, who had a kid, who then had Rey.

Then her parents sent her off to be a Jedi but she was a little bitch and they figured she'd end up like Vader so they dumped her in the desert, which actually worked as she grew up to look like Daisy Ridley and not some horrifically sunburnt, homeless scruff

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Kinda hope she's not related to anybody though despite all the ominous hints. Maybe her parents recognised her force abilities early on, sent her to Luke for a bit then got scared by the whole thing because Luke was a crazy hobo so pulled her out of training and abandoned her.

I'd probably prefer something simple like that.

[Kalyx triaD]

Kalyx, your thoughts on this piece:

http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/off-the-clock-space-opera-millennials-and-their-gr/1100-5371/

I'll peep it and discuss later, thanks.

But most likely in another thread.

[alvarado52]

Finally got around to seeing this. Lucas can shit on Disney all he wants but they pulled off a better Star Wars than he has since RotJ

[Fignuts]

I'd say since empire. No ewoks in this one.

[Wishbone]

The ewok hate I think is a bit overplayed. I mean they're not great, and them beating the Empire was pretty stupid, but overall the movie was pretty good. Hell, even if you consider it the weakest of the original trilogy it's still leaps and bounds ahead of the prequels, and it's better than most movies I've seen in the genre. And, hey, Wicket is way less annoying than Jar Jar.

[wwe2222]

I fast forward all the Ewok scenes and have done so since I was a kid. I find them mostly unwatchable.

The Emperor Vader Luke scenes are great

[Lock Jaw]

Love d the Ewoks and continue to do so... Entertaining...

[road doggy dogg]

Maybe Vader banged some other braud after Padme with his melted dong, who had a kid, who then had Rey.

Then her parents sent her off to be a Jedi but she was a little bitch and they figured she'd end up like Vader so they dumped her in the desert, which actually worked as she grew up to look like Daisy Ridley and not some horrifically sunburnt, homeless scruff

So you're telling me if I have a kid, all I have to do is neglect them and they'll grow up to be Daisy Ridley?

SOLD

brb becoming worst parent ever

[road doggy dogg]

but anyway,

Kinda hope she's not related to anybody though despite all the ominous hints. Maybe her parents recognised her force abilities early on, sent her to Luke for a bit then got scared by the whole thing because Luke was a crazy hobo so pulled her out of training and abandoned her.

I'd probably prefer something simple like that.

Yes that is exactly what I think/hope will happen. I really don't want her to be some established character's daughter or something, feels so on the nose.

I think she is going to just be a student at Luke's Jedi Academy (or w/e it's called) and then when Kylo went all slicey/stabby on them she somehow survived and was sent away for her protection, probably had some Jedi Men-in-Black memory erasing shit happen and boom here we are

[Rammsteinmad]

Saw this on Wednesday. Really enjoyed it! Lots of nitpicky things that left me feeling "empty"... I can't explain it. I think maybe all the positive reviews and feedback hyped it up too much for me. Still, really enjoyed it, two hours just flew by. Can't wait for the next one!

Just throwing this out there, I love all the movies, including the Phantom Menace. Nothing will touch the original trilogy, and I loved the prequel trilogy, and I'm confident this trilogy will also be incredible.

[Lock Jaw]

Maybe Vader bones Doctor Aphra, and Rey is the result....

[Kalyx triaD]

Finally got around to seeing this. Lucas can shit on Disney all he wants but they pulled off a better Star Wars than he has since RotJ

lol And that one he didn't direct.

[Lock Jaw]

Sweet.... trying to take over "Christmas season", and I am ok with that....

[Fignuts]

We've got Rogue One to tide us over.

[Big Vic]

Hope there's no Mary Sue's in Rogue One.

[Wishbone]

I hope every character in Rogue One is a Mary Sue just so that all the people complaining about Rey being a Mary Sue can see what a real Mary Sue actually looks like.

[Kalyx triaD]

lol What does a real one look like, boss? Please refute my write up from a few pages ago, I wanna read that.

[The Rogerer]

She's also a terrorist

[Mercenary]

Ya know what I watched this, and well Kylo Ren is just so boring as a bad guy

Not sure I'd use the word boring. I think annoying is a much better word for it.

[wwe2222]

I thought he was more what Anakin should've been in the prequels. Powerful, confused, pushed to the dark side while being torn by a calling from the light side.

[Wishbone]

I thought he was more what Anakin should've been in the prequels. Powerful, confused, pushed to the dark side while being torn by a calling from the light side.

I can see that, but given how little we've seen I think it's still too early to say that that's where they're going. If he comes back as a much more intimidating villain after his training with Snoke I will 100% agree with you though.

That said It think Ezra from the Rebels tv show is honestly an even better representation of what Anakin should have been. If you haven't checked that series out you definitely should. The animation style can be a little off putting, but if you can get past it it's full of Star Wars goodness.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I have not been able to watch that yet. I've heard good things

[road doggy dogg]

What I'm getting from this is that Kylo Ren isn't better than Ezra ???

[Wishbone]

What I'm getting from this is that Kylo Ren isn't better than Ezra ???

At this point in time? Yeah, Ezra is better than Kylo. Of course we have no idea where either character is headed in the long run so things could easily change. They could completely screw up Ezra going forward and botch the whole thing, and Kylo could go on to be "reborn" as a true successor to Darth Vader or something completely different. But as it stands Ezra is the better character as of this writing.

[road doggy dogg]

I was just making a bad 90's pun, I didn't mean to further the discussion :wavesad:

[Lock Jaw]

Looks "dope", as the kids would say.

[Kalyx triaD]

Already like this chick better than Rey. And yay Donnie Yen.

[Emperor Smeat]

Trailer looked great.

[Savio]

Vader in it?

[Ermaximus]

Pretty sure it wasn't Yoda.

http://starecat.com/content/wp-content/uploads/star-wars-family-photoshopped-leia-kylo-ren-nien-nunb.jpg

[Purgatory]

Vader in it?

No, I think this one cuts away from the main cast, focuses on the creation of The Death Star and the group that tried to steal the plans.

[McLegend]

I swear I hear Vader's breathing when the lights are going up towards the end of the trailer.

Also looks like they are in Vader's mediation chamber at one point.

[wwe2222]

I am pretty confident that Vader will make an appearance, even if only for a scene.

[Kalyx triaD]

If Vader cameos, which is super likely, betting Hayden will be back in the suit.

[Fignuts]

Wonder if the guy in white is a new character, or a younger Tarkin.

[McLegend]

The guy in white is not that young though.

Just rewatched Force awakens, and I know it seems way too obvious but everything points to Rey being Luke Skywalker's daughter. Han knows who she is, and it looks like Leia does to. Hence why she gave Rey such a big hug after Starkiller base.

It's so obvious that I feel they are throwing a curveball, but I can't see anything else.

Also Force Awakens not as good on the 2nd viewing... Still awesome though.

[Lock Jaw]

Don't know why everyone keeps going on about Han and Leia "knowing"/"recognizing" Rey..... I did not get that feeling at all....

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Yeah me neither.

For this movie, before even looking at the timeline, I guessed the new lead was the young version of the eventual captain Phasma. A wild guess indeed.

[McLegend]

Don't know why everyone keeps going on about Han and Leia "knowing"/"recognizing" Rey..... I did not get that feeling at all....

I got that feeling more on my 2nd viewing.

When Maz goes to Han "Who's the girl?" They immediately cut away. To me that implies Han knows more about her that we can't know yet.

Also if Leia didn't know who she was why would she give her such a big hug?

[Lock Jaw]

Because she is a human being, force sensitive, has empathy, and Chewie snubbed her.

[Lock Jaw]

Also, GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN confirmed to be in Star Wars: Rebels Season 3.

I really need to finish up Clone Wars and then watch Rebels......

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Clone Wars meant nothing. Don't understand people watching something that amounted to a Jedi Trap.

[Lock Jaw]

It has been a pretty sweet show thus far.... dunno.....

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

When the show was at its height. Saw young Anakin birthday cards.

Shoulda said happy birthday younglings

[Kalyx triaD]

Clone Wars was good.

Good to see Disney will in fact resurrect some EU stuff.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I just want the original trilogy without all the added crap from Lucas. Wonder if we'll get that eventually.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It's already out on DVD from 2006 as a special feature disc.

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Star+wars+original+dvd&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AStar+wars+original+dvd

2-4 on the list. It's called limited edition.

[Fignuts]

There is also a fan made blu ray called the unspecial edition or something like that, with higher quality visuals than the official release.

[Lock Jaw]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/frdj1zb9sMY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Lock Jaw]

I like that this looks different than any other Star Wars, and I hope it is actually good.

[Simple Fan]

I'm sold, damn good trailer.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Oh that score is just wonderful

[Kalyx triaD]

Kills Force Awakens.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I still think people will be bitching that there's little Jedi stuff even though they are being upfront about it. People bitched when Agents of Shield didn't have the Avengers on every week.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

You are probably right. But I think it'll be a small percentage. This movie is gonna kill the box office.

[Fignuts]

Donnie Yen is more badass than any jedi, so I'm not qorried about that.

[Kalyx triaD]

So... yeah.

Well what happens now, I'm sure she filmed scenes for Eps 8. Sounding like a dick again like the Heath Ledger death I'm hoping she finished her scenes and can either work a proper sendoff or maybe it'll fit with what they already did. One thing's for sure reshoots will heavily be about Leia's fate.

[Lock Jaw]

Have read that Episode 8 is already done filming..... they probably will do reshoots to change things around unless the plan was already for Leia to not be around in episode 9.

[Wishbone]

So... yeah.

What Lock Jaw said. Episode 8 is in post now so her scenes are done. Really hope this one gives her a great sendoff... :'(

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Seems like somebody created a Princess Leia character in Star Wars the Old Republic. They played the toon in the plaza of House Organa in Alderaan.

Several characters from both sides Imperial and Republic are standing vigil over the toon.

Thousands of years and here comes Rey and Luke's like 'Dammit we're done here'.

[Emperor Smeat]

Trailer was pretty good overall.

:lol: at them using the same "person randomly pops up" shot like they did with Force Awakens' trailer. At least this one had some context for it though.

[Ezra]

Looks amazing. Christmas can't get here soon enough.

[Seanny One Ball]

If Vader cameos, which is super likely, betting Hayden will be back in the suit.

I'd just about die laughing if they didn't even call him

[Ezra]

Due to the fact he was at the celebration and they, in one draft of the script, had Anakin in TFA it will not surprise me that he will be brought back.

[Swiss Ultimate]

My give a fuck is still broke.

Re-release the original trilogy now, dammit.

[OverTaker]

Star wars freak right here. I can't wait.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Director of the film has left the project

[Lock Jaw]

Of Episode 9.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So, probably means JJ comes back to finish it off.

[Kalyx triaD]

I think they're just gonna let Rian finish the trilogy. It would be a safe bet.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Was the current guy supposed to finish the trilogy?

[Kalyx triaD]

No it was three different directors.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So, probably means JJ comes back to finish it off.

Winner Winner Robot Chicken Dinner.

[Kalyx triaD]

Fucking fuck fuck

[Lock Jaw]

What if he just makes a copy of Return of the Jedi

[Kalyx triaD]

I doubt he'll make that kind of mistake twice. What I'm worried about is The Last Jedi will likely balance out Rey's character only for her to go right back in the hands of the guy who made her completely unrelatable in the first place.

[Destor]

The structure of 7 was far from a mistake. It played well and was recieved positively. It was onyl in retrospect that people shit on it in a massive god fall.

[Fignuts]

Honestly the whole mary sue thing was a minor quibble in an otherwise enjoyable experience.

Plus we know very little about Rey. Could be an explanation for her ability to use the force. Possibly related to her parentage.

[Big Vic]

I didn't like 7 too much, was only OK.... Rogue One was better.

[Emperor Smeat]

Disney swapped around the release dates for Episode IX and new live-action Aladdin movie. Official reason related to the recent director change for Episode IX.

Original plans were for Episode IX to be released on May 2019 and Aladdin on December 2019. Now its Episode IX set for December 2019 and Aladdin for May 2019.

[Lock Jaw]

Good.... good.... December is Star Wars time now.......

Disney has announced a new Star Wars Trilogy being done by Rian Johnson, and a live action Star Wars series for their new streaming service

[Kalyx triaD]

KotOR pls.

[Destor]

New game plz

[Lock Jaw]

Jar Jar Binks-centric trilogy please

[Kalyx triaD]

A new novel actually covers Jar Jar's post prequel series state.

He's basically a street entertainer for kids. Banished by his people for his role in granting emergency powers to Palpatine.

[Kalyx triaD]

New game plz

Made by who? Bioware looks to die whether Anthem is successful or not and Obsidian seems to have better things to do now that they're free.

It's a miracle Kotor online still breathes, tbh.

[Destor]

By yr mum let me dream

[Kalyx triaD]

A rather curious behind the scenes promo details the lightsaber choreography Daisy and Adam have done. They seem to be rehearsing fights against multiple opponents. They were not together for these rehearsals nor does this mean it's a fight from the film (though these don't look like general weapon training, the moves looked specific).

[Fignuts]

It's come out that the Visceral game was cancelled because EA couldn't find a way to effectively monetize it post launch.

So...yeah. More shit to throw at EA. Make sure you light it on fire this time.

[Kalyx triaD]

Well... I'm not 100% against a Star Wars-Destiny type game but that would depend on who is gonna make it.

[Lock Jaw]

A "Cassian Andor" prequel series coming to the new "Disney+" streaming service in addition to Favreau's "The Mandalorian" series.

[Kalyx triaD]

You'd think the chick would get her own show.

[Lock Jaw]

Nah, Cassian makes much more sense.

[McLegend]

I like Rogue one, and I like that guy. However I’m not interested in a show about him.



Could be wrong, but I think this is a bad idea.

[Ezra]

Cassian will be good to follow. Definitely interested in a guy with shades of gray in his character.

[Kalyx triaD]

Erso was an admitted terrorist who didn't even care much for the Rebellion how would she not be a better choice?

[Ezra]

God please have a live cast of rebels make cameos. I want my tano especially.

[Lock Jaw]

Erso was an admitted terrorist who didn't even care much for the Rebellion how would she not be a better choice?

Feel like her story was "told" and "done" and mainly about her family, while Cassian has a lot more blanks to mine in his background as a "spy" and doing "dirty things for a noble cause".

[Lock Jaw]

God please have a live cast of rebels make cameos. I want my tano especially.

Hera Syndulla regularly appears in the Star Wars comics as a key member of the Rebellion, so she could have the best chances

[Ezra]

See this is why Lock Jaw is so great. All those extended poops gives him time to just come in and tell the nay sayers how it is.

[Lock Jaw]

I want to watch Rebels, but it isn't on Netflix here.... (not that I ever finished Clone Wars which IS still on Netflix)

Been watching the new "Star Wars: Rebellion" show because I was all "Ok I missed out on Rebels and I hear it was great, so I'm going to watch this one from the start".......... but it hasn't been very good.

Get off the meth....
The prequels rank somewhere between the Ewok Movies and the Christmas Special. Corvette Summer Ranks above the sequels

lol I never heard the word "Mary-Sue" so much/at all in my life before that

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Or after

[Kalyx triaD]

So are you taking back your Rey is "Mary-Sue?"

Oh she's still a poorly written Mary Sue. But perspective of time allows me to at least enjoy Force Awakens in general. I can watch FA again. I can watch Rogue One and Solo again. I physically cringe when I see Last Jedi on Netflix. Just about any movie deserves a 'rewatch' clause to get a clear outlook without hype or anything getting in the way.

I just can't bring myself to watch Last Jedi again. It is offensive as a Star Wars product.

[Lock Jaw]

I watched it again and it wasn't AS bad as I remembered.... definitely still a movie that crumbled apart and is not good.... but not as bad as my memory told me. ..

[Seanny One Ball]

Well at least now you know the tactic.

Make each sequel worse and watch the billions flow in. Then re-release the previous film/s with extra features and behold as maniacs revise their negative opinions and don their rose tinted spectacles in order to allow themselves the purchase.

Psychological genius, everybody is too invested in the ride to care what drives them or where they go.

[Kalyx triaD]

I have no reason to get yet another re-release of the old ones, tbh.

[Seanny One Ball]

Millions will think they do, especially for the new "old ones".

Know yourself.

[Kalyx triaD]

What? Know myself?

[Seanny One Ball]

You've just indicated that you have bought several copies of the originals, likely for the extras and re-releases.
You say that as if it works against my(only half joking) assertion that Star Wars is getting worse so Disney can tinker with re-releases and maximise their obscene profit using material that guys like you absolutely will line up repeatedly for because you have a proven track record of buying it already.

Ya dig?

I believe that you wont buy it but again, millions will.

[Kalyx triaD]

You've just indicated that you have bought several copies of the originals, likely for the extras and re-releases.


What, no I didn't. The 'yet another' refers to their constant releases of originals not my purchase of them.

Dude: Just. Ask.

[Kalyx triaD]

'Proven track record' lol

[Kalyx triaD]

You seem like you really wanted to say what you said specifically to that kind of Star Wars fan. But it ain't me.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Currently, I own the six-movie Blu-Ray Collection and the original Saga in a two-disc DVD form which was the original theatrical releases on disc 2.

No need or desire to own the new ones, Rouge One or Solo either.

[Fignuts]

I've been thinking of getting that "unspecial edition" bluray set

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Haven't heard of that. Unspecial edition I have is a DVD.

[Lock Jaw]

I downloaded the theatrical cuts a few years ago, and it wasn't even the cut I grew up with.

I guess there was a cut between the theatrical and the "special edition". I want that cut.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yeah, there was a VHS with enhanced sound before the Special Editions.

[Fignuts]

That VHS set was the one I had growing up.

Absolutely nothing enticing about that teaser. God, the more I think about the new films the more I dislike them. And I've been a life-long die-hard Star Wars fan.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Out of all the new Star Wars films, I think it was only Rogue One that I particularly enjoyed; the others, while not bad, did not grab me, and I went because I wanted to get out of the house/flat.

We could do with a solid decade of no new Star Wars material, but that won't happen; Disney got to milk that cow, baby.

Just make a new thread for the movie

[rez]

Looks like shit

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

No.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Welp, the reviews haven't been too kind.

[Destor]

Not the film it could have been but i didnt hate it

[rez]

Read the spoilers. It sounds like a nostalgic cramming turd

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

If Mando has taught me anything, they should have just let Jon Favreau do this. Dude understands how to NOT get in the way of a story that tells itself.

[RP]

So i wonder if Rhey and Kylo's baby will be in the next trilogy. Also, how in the hell did Han Solo survive that fall from the first movie? Come on.

[Destor]

Yeah and when Vader comes back at the end and slaughters all the minorities was a real wtf moment

[rez]

Vader was a black man for the majority of his life

[RP]

Yeah and when Vader comes back at the end and slaughters all the minorities was a real wtf moment

Why are you leaving out the part where he screams " Niggers " for 3 minutes straight?

[rez]

Why are you leaving out the part where he screams " Niggers " for 3 minutes straight?

You're thinking of when Shredder was yelling about Tonka and Razor

[Lock Jaw]

Glad I didn't come in here before I saw the movie.

Just came back from it.

Was alright.... felt very much like it was a "reaction" to Last Jedi, no matter how much he says Last Jedi didn't effect his plans at all.... Just felt like while Last Jedi took a lot of "chances" and failed, this "played it very safe" and just won't be that memorable in the end.

That said... it was alright. Think I might prefer to watch the Prequel Trilogy again rather than the Sequel Trilogy if I had the choice.....

[Destor]

Agreed on all counts. Im most excited for the potential to move forward with new ideas

[Lock Jaw]

I like how Finn's subplot of wanting to tell Rey something, and Poe being upset at him not wanting to share in front of him was just never concluded.

Heavily implied that he wanted to tell her he is force sensitive, but just.... no conclusion to that subplot.

[Destor]

I think he wanted to tell her he loves her..

[Lock Jaw]

See, it could have been that too is what I was thinking..... but, we'll never know.

[Simple Fan]

I liked it but it wasn't anything special. Made up for the Last Jedi being shit.

[Destor]

Early screenings brought 40mil. Opening weekend looks to be on pace for 170-200mil opening weekend. Good numbers but down from last jedi (45mil/220mil) and trailing awakens by an even wider margin (57/248)


Very telling

[McLegend]

I didn’t like Last Jedi, but I think most of that movie is a good movie. I know that’s weird, and makes zero sense.

With that said

I think I really hate Rise of Skywalker. Too me it falls flat, and I think it’s because my boy Sheev. It seemed like a wasted appearance, and it’s probably his worse appearance in the entire series. None of his storyline worked for me. Maybe I’m wrong though.

I think Rise of Skywalker will actually help the legacy of The Last Jedi, because I’m already starting to reconsider my feelings about it.

[Destor]

Looks like 176 will be the opening weekend number.


Itll make money but obviously the franchise is going to need some tlc to fight off this trend

[rez]

shit needs a story of Mando's love child.

$ Trillions

[Destor]

Film will not surpass Ep8 but is still going to be the 2nd biggest gross of the year behind End Game (and ahead of lion king) so its not a failure by any stretch.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The fan rotten tomatoes says its good the reviews say it is bad. Reverse of Last Jedi. Fans mean more than nerd reviewers.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Clearly they don't because this movie isn't likely to best or match The Last Jedi's box office.

[Destor]

Well tbf if jts making less money that means nerds decided not to watch it at all so that means nerds rejected the last film and said missing nerds have no idea if its good or not

[Lock Jaw]

New Star Wars movie by Taika Waititi announced. Fanboys gonna eat it up despite lackluster previous Star Wars movies.

New Star Wars live action series announced for Disney+. Gonna be female-led and from a female creator.... so fanboys gonna hate it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Taika's legit, tho. No matter the dumspter sequel trilogy I'm down with his turn in the sandbox.

[XL]

What he said.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

If Taika can breathe life into the Star Wars Universe the way he did with Thor: Ragnarok, I'm down for another SW film, even though the recent batch have mostly left me unimpressed.

[ClockShot]

Hope he gives Disney/Lucasfilm the finger and does the Boba Fett spinoff movie we're all begging for.

I'll gladly pay to see that.

[Kalyx triaD]

He can't literally just make a movie they don't wanna make.

[McLegend]

Yes or no question

Should I watch all of Rebels before season 7 of Clone Wars?

[Lock Jaw]

Haven't seen either, but I would assume that nothing in Clone Wars spoils Rebels as it takes place before it chronologically.

[Lock Jaw]

Sorry, that was not a yes or no answer.

[McLegend]

Yeah I know, but I was thinking will the “emotional weight” be greater if I watch Rebels first.

I know some “deep” stuff happens in Rebels.

[Lock Jaw]

In that case, go with your gut and watch Rebels first.

Then come here and tell me if I should watch Rebels first.

[Destor]

Watch it in order of release...ya know?

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

YouTube keeps putting Clone Wars clips in my recommendations, so I decided to watch them and what I saw was really good; I'm thinking of getting a Disney+ subscription just to watch that series.

[XL]

7 day trial if you blast through it...

[teamXtremist]

Mandalorian bro

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm probably going to wait until the first of the Marvel series appear before getting a Disney+ subscription, and then I'll watch The Mandalorian, etc.

[XL]

You can dip in and out. I need to get better at rotating. I signed to the + free trial to watch Rise of Skywalker not realising it was on NOW TV too, then I missed the cut off for cancelling. £6 for Mandolorian is pretty good value for money. Gonna unsubscribe until the Marvel shows debut.

[XL]

I will say though, I hold a grudge against Disney+ just on the basis that it devalues so much of my Blu Ray collection with the MCU, Pixar movies, and Disney Classics (for my daughter) all on there.

[McLegend]

Rewatched seasons 1-6 of Clone Wars, and then watched Rebels. Rebels was great. It was way better than I thought expected. I would recommend it to anyone.

On to season 7 of Clone Wars!

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Rebels was good but I didn't like that it only followed the one crew. Loved how Clone Wars was a more 3-dimensional look at what was going on.

[Lock Jaw]

Still never finished Season 6 of Clone Wars.....

[McLegend]

Just finished season 7 of Clone Wars.

Episode 7.1-7.4 were apparently shown to the public in some form or another before they aired on Disney+, and people out there think it was a waste. Well it was the first time I saw these episodes, and I liked them. I thought they were strong. In one of the episodes something happens between Anakin, Rex, and Obi-Wan that makes sense, but it’s still a “WTF” moment in a great way. That makes the first 4 episodes worth it for that alone.

Episodes 7.5-7.8 were pretty much a complete waste of time. It get Ahsoka to go where she needs to be, but overall it might be the worst Arc clone wars ever did. If it was 20 some episode season it would have been fine, but it doesn’t fit in with the long awaited final 10 episodes.

Episodes 7.9-7.12 are heartwarming, thrilling, and heartbreaking. It shines a whole new light on Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith. I need to go back and watch it now. The 4 episodes are a movie, and it’s best all around Star Wars movie since the Force Awakens, and it’s probably better than that as well. The last scene was the perfect scene to end it.

Also can someone be Darth Maul’s friend? That’s all he wants.

[McLegend]

Still never finished Season 6 of Clone Wars.....

Dew it!

Then watch Rebels.

[McLegend]

Rebels was good but I didn't like that it only followed the one crew. Loved how Clone Wars was a more 3-dimensional look at what was going on.

This and I thought it being more geared towards kids was why I didn’t watch it. It definitely skews younger then Clone wars, but I didn’t feel embarrassed by watching it. So my reasoning was wrong there.

I’m glad it focused on one crew, because I love the ghost crew now. I want more from them.

[Lock Jaw]

Still haven't watched any more..... I prob should, because it is really the only reason I have not dis-activated my Disney+ account, but if I am not doing it anyways I'm still just paying for nothing.....

But....

They announced today a new animated series "Star Wars: The Bad Batch", spinning off of S7 of The Clone Wars.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Yeah the bad batch was the fucking tits. Why would people think it was a waste?

[Lock Jaw]

First episode of "The Book of Boba Fett" pretty "meh"..... no "hook" to get interested or watch more other than it is "Star Wars content"....

[Blonde Moment]

Boba Fett is the hook

[Tom Guycott]

Boba Fett is the hook

I made a joke about the Boba Fett tease/bumper at the end of The Mandalorian reminding me of the ending of Conan The Barbarian, sans Mako narration. After watching episode 1, it seems less like a joke and more like an intentional thing. And I'm all for it.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Lock Jaw such a derp.

[Lock Jaw]

Second episode was better

F yeah at Black Krrsantan or however you spell that. Looking forward to more of him in the present.

[Lock Jaw]

Loved episode 3

Love the new bike gang with their colourful speeders and droid parts.... v cyberpunk

Also, seems like they dropped the "Black" from Krrsantan's name maybe.... prob a good idea. He was pretty awesome.... as much as I liked the new bike gang, I wanted to see him do what wookies do and rip a dude's arms out of their sockets (they could get droid arms after).

[Fignuts]

Not sure about Joan Jett and the beetle borgs. Seems way more power rangers than star wars.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Calm down gatekeeper

[Fignuts]

what

[Lock Jaw]

Dunno..... but people at work, including some massive Star Wars fans hated the gang and their speeders..... I seem alone in loving them....

[Lock Jaw]

Boring ass ep today.... music sting at the end obv means some Mandalorians coming next ep, perhaps even THE Mandalorian.....

[Fignuts]

Dunno..... but people at work, including some massive Star Wars fans hated the gang and their speeders..... I seem alone in loving them....

I mean that's fine. Not sure how disliking them is gatekeeping though.

[Kalyx triaD]

I can not believe this show is awful.

[Lengua]

I have enjoyed the show as a whole. I think they are definitely some issues like deep dive fan service (rancor riding) and a terrible, unimaginative reason to pay off how the sarlacc pit was killed. Also, that fucking tech gang lol

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Every episode other than the first half of the last one has been enjoyable to me. And even still, I popped huge for blowing up the sarlacc and the blowing up the Nikto gang. But the episode only became truly cool once Kristaantan got involved.

With Star Wars, I generally just enjoy being in the world. It's not an ACTIVE decision, but I just don't watch it with the same energy as I do the Sopranos or something. It's more of a shared experience with my friends and us being like "OH SHIT THAT WAS DOPE."

Someone was complaining how they wished Fennec and Boba were more like Han and Leia in that the latter couple were always at each other's throats. Frankly, that shit is tired and tropey. And rewatch Han and Leia, and it's this weird, creepy, sometimes rapey relationship with often-times horrendous dialogue that falls flat.

[Lock Jaw]

Just watched the new episode... that was the best Book of Boba Fett episode of the season

[Lock Jaw]

Found the start pretty funny though in the butcher shop..... all that advanced technology of the Star Wars universe and they still have nothing better than those plastic slat curtains

[Lock Jaw]

Another sweet episode

F yeah @ Cad Bane

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Ridiculous episode.

[Lock Jaw]

Oh yeah, and Luke, Grogu, and Ashoka.....

I wish Luke meeting Ashoka was a "bigger deal"... want to see the story/tale of the very first time they met... which could have maybe been on that planet, but off-screen.....

[Lock Jaw]

Soooo many cameos in that last Book of Boba Fett episode..... I even enjoyed the Boba Fett cameo.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Book of Mandolorian was dope AF

[Tom Guycott]

Oh yeah, and Luke, Grogu, and Ashoka.....

I wish Luke meeting Ashoka was a "bigger deal"... want to see the story/tale of the very first time they met... which could have maybe been on that planet, but off-screen.....

My guess is that will be fleshed out in a separate series. Sort of like how this and The Mandalorian weave in and out. I'm guessing there will be various different shows doing this, almost like the Marvel Netflix shows. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they made a series on Mayfeld, from Operation Cinder, to what happened after Djin left that crew on the prison freighter, to after he "died in that explosion" leading to some cause that "helps him sleep at night".

Meanwhile, though, this episode had me like https://youtu.be/QGItefWwA5s

[Destor]

watching ep101 of boba fett. helluva way to introduce your show by having the protag be a huge bitch all ep. the tradition of boba fett never doing anything of note continues

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lollll you probably shouldn't watch the rest of the show then. He gets some good babyface shine in ep 2, though.

[Destor]

ill stick with it but so far so lulz
