#21 Hicks? What is this? It might be cosplay of Flash Gordon. She resembles Sigourney as much as she does Melody Anderson.

#41 Has anyone ever turned a Kenner Cloud City Twin Pod Cloud Car into a game controller?

You can absolutely be a SW fan and not be into the whole "hello there" thing. It's from the prequels, which I'll admit are better than the sequels, but.... There's a reason they were universally dissed by fans at the time, especially the first one. The kids from that era hadn't grown up by now, but that doesn't change things for the older fans.

#53 not everyone could force-heal, it was pretty specialized & Anakin DEFINITELY wasn't on that part of the chill spectrum

Lucas is just not as good a writer as people think. Up to the Prequels Force healing was a basic skill for Jedi knights in every Star wars product of the franchise, including the Pen&Paper RPG.

They just messed up a well thought out system in the Prequels and literally eviscerated it once Disney took over.

Ah yes. Because it's so much better that Rey spontaneously figured out she could Force Heal, with no training, and that the first time she used it was on a giant snake guarding a knife that she just happened to need, and said snake wasn't sentient but maybe was sentient, and gave up the knife once it was healed, so she could go to a whole different planet and match the knife to the destroyed Death Star, which somehow hadn't eroded AT ALL despite lying in a violent ocean.

#24 I still remember the gasp from the audience when he said “young Skywalker” in that scene.

Since I had read a ton of EU books by that time, I knew Palpatine was the Emperor’s name, so it was just a nice bit of confirmation for me… of course, it was also the same actor, so that helped.

#24 I just spent 30 minutes relistening to them, and reading the sheet music, and WHAT? I don't hear it or see it.

that's because Olivia Munn actually does look a lot like Olivia Munn.

#24 Is this actually true ? Cause I listened to the two and it doesn't really click for me.

No, it isn't.

There are a couple articles about it and some reddit posts, but I just spent a little over half an hour listening to them back to back, and at the same time as each other, I read the sheet music for both.

I just don't see any overlapping themes. if there is some subtle nod, its VERY subtle.

Tbf, with odo, you could stick it absolutely anywhere.

#44 Mark Hammel's idea was that Luke had a kid, but the kid died due to an unattended light saber accident.

Which would have been way better and made much more sense.

#51 "All of this"? Pretty sure Palpatine would have found another stooge to be his enforcer.

Better argument: All of this could have been avoided if the Republic had had the balls to eradicate slavery.

It's apparently from a guy named Neil Henry at an outfit called Old Made New, but it seems their only info is on a facebook group, so I can't really see much more than that.

The trailer doesn't even look all that impressive. It looks like it is going to be a 2-hour long version of one of the episodes from the show.

It looks like Muppet Star Wars. I know Star Wars already has Muppets, but this is idk, more blatant I guess.

1 week ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Yeah. It does seem like a cash grab while keeping the lower TV production budget.

Is Pedro even going to be in the suit? Or just doing ADR for a stunt guy.

I liked season 3, but I feel the show has kind of done all it can. Maybe I'm wrong, but the Mandalorians have Mandalore again, and I'm not sure what else can happen with Grogu and Din.

Maybe they have enough content for a 2 hour swan song movie.

Who knows.

Overall the TV shows are doing a far better job of post ROTJ content than the sequel movies, but that's not a high bar to clear.

Not all of them, but many. Clone Wars, Rebels, and Bad Batch was excellent. Mandalorian was fantastic. Boba Fett was pretty good, but had quite a few things I didn't care for. Obi-wan felt unnecessary, it added nothing to the plot, and I felt no suspense since I know both Kenobi and Vader live to fight in the original trilogy. Asohka was good, I loved that they got the voice of Thrawn to play him. Acolyte felt uninspired. Skeleton Crew was just awful.

Would’ve been okay with me if the entire show was just about Mando hunting down different bounties all across the galaxy…

1 week ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I definitely feel like we still only scratched the surface on Mandalorian lore. They added to the Clone Wars showed, but didn't reveal anything major, beyond Din being part of the Deathwatch

#44 The interesting thing about these is that in both situations he was following a sensation/feeling from The Force. But, in the 2nd one, he did not follow the force.

Something, something, no attachments.

In both but not the second? I am sorry but I can not make sense of what you wrote.

1 week ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I think they mean that Luke felt the force's influence in both cases, but only followed the feeling in the former, and ignored it in the latter.

Yes!

If so, was Luke ignoring the Force when he raised his lightsaber or when he renounced to strike Ben? And which side of the Force was it? Luke looked possessed.

Here's what we know...the entire bloodline of Skywalkers has strong connections to the Force and is tempted by the Dark side.

With his father, Luke sensed the good and was prepared to give his life to bring it out. With his nephew, he could sense the pull of the Dark side and refused to take the boy's life to stop it. And, in that moment of hesitation, pushed him further to the dark side. Which could have been a ploy of the Dark side in the first place.
