    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I don't disagree with this. It's a matter of the specific execution not using the idea itself as an ability that a powerful force user is capable of. It's an extension of what Ben did in ANH when he made the stormtroopers think they heard something so he could slip away after deactivating the...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Johnson wasn't getting flack for using a bad Legends concept but rather more of "Ha ha, that book isn't even canon anymore. Idiot.".

    Yeah she's a hardcore comic book nerd. All of the Heroes regulars are really. She does some of those table top RPG play sessions on some YouTube channel that are like 3 hours long each as well. So yeah, big nerd. I like hearing her perspective because while she's a comic book geek she tends...

    That was one of the characters that got tossed out there when they discussed it yesterday on Heroes. I'm not sure which of their suggestions is my favorite but they had a couple of good ones (skips to the relevant part):

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    He'd lost his Mojolnir. It wasn't until his conversation with Odin later in the movie that he was the God of Thunder again. Before that he had been reduced to Sparkles by everything that had happened to him.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Supposedly it was in a scene that was cut from TLJ. The one with Rey running with the lightsaber lit and in hand. And there was a lot of telekinesis use in Empire beyond the rocks. Plus it had new abilities or the expansion of existing ones for Vader to.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    And it's not even the first time it's shown back up in the new stuff. Again with Rebels, what Luke did is very similar to what happened between Yoda and Ezra in the jedi temple on Lothal. That may have been something specific to the temple since Yoda didn't die from it but it established that...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Stop what? Things from the EU material being adopted back into the current shows, books, and movies? That was the plan when all that stuff was given the Legends tag.

    I guess RJ doesn't watch Rebels. And when they scrapped the old EU: All other properties (with a few small exceptions) are now lumped together under a single banner known as Star Wars : Legends. Those exceptions seem to include the film’s novelisations (where they elaborate on things seen on...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    If you wanna see what chopped TLJ's late legs out from underneath it you need look no further than Jumanji. Sony of all studios is proving that the great steel giant has clay feet, even in December. Solo better make it's money quick this summer.

    2018 Oscars

    He retired from stage acting in like the middle of a performance. But on the movie side he's just never been a prolific actor, taking long breaks between roles where he goes off and takes up odd pastimes like shoe making. He's just an peculiar recluse who happens to be one of his generations...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I don't know the actual figures but I suspect that toys are a smaller slice of the overall SW merch pie than they used to be. The fan base has aged and evolved over the 40 years it's existed. The ones who wanted those toys in the 70's and 80's now have their own money to spend on other types...

    2018 Oscars

    It's the same story every year; genre films have a hard time breaking through in the major categories. The average age of an academy voter is 63. How many of them would you guess even watched something like Logan much less would have enjoyed it enough to consider it for Best Picture?

    I wouldn't rely on a guy going around to a few stores and taping merch still on the shelves to draw that conclusion from. He obviously doesn't like the Disney era of Star Wars in general. I suppose that's why he doesn't bring up actual sales figures. Star Wars led all movie brands in toy...
