    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Jesus an entire article written from a Mike Zeroh video. They should have just cited the Variety articles that all of these came from to begin with instead of that fraud. Except the part about an anthology movie every year. That hasn't been announced. People just assume that's how it will go.

    She and Hamill both talked about having reservations about the story way back during Celebration last year.

    Black Panther (2018)

    Consistency of MCU movies as quality entertainment. Ryan Coogler directing with Michael B. Jordan in a main role. Those things at a bare minimum give this a more than decent shot at being good.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Putting out even just a movie a year, if they stay at that, will most definitely erode the event status of the movies and is going to push their box office performance down to more closely resemble every other successful, big budget franchise. Provided the movies manage to retain their broad...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Just how long were you expecting it to stay at No. 1 ? 2 - 4 weeks is about as long as anything holds that spot anymore. It's not just a function of how well a given movie is received but also how well the competition is. Jumanji is by most accounts a solid to good movie (I haven't seen it...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Kinda of conundrum on where to put this, but with Disney buying Fox's movie properties this would fit by the time this gets around to being made, if it ever gets to that point. Exclusive: Tim Miller Developing Solo 'Kitty Pryde' Movie at Fox

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Edwards didn't have final edit authority. Neither did Lord and Miller. They put their creative vision up on the sacrificial alter when they took the job under those terms. It was just a question of would the producers light the fire. And they never got to the point of being able to put any...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    The nebulous creative differences. You don't think Gareth Edwards had creative differences with Lucasfilm? He shot a lot of footage intended to give R1 a war documentary feel. Hardly any of it was used in the finished product. The difference in his case was, he also shot stuff that was more...

    Maybe that's just a local issue for you. Advanced tickets for IMAX are available at my local theaters.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    A little more info on Lord and Miller's days on Solo: And all of that goes back to the lack of setups per day which was quietly floated out there as the real reason everything came to a head between them and Lucasfilm. Not that Ace Ventura in space business.

    If you're not going to limit it to named characters then it would be some of Lando's Bespin security guards.

    I have no desire to see George "come back" (I think they do still run the occasional idea by him, they being some of the creatives in Lucasfilm that worked with him for many years. And Gareth Edwards has talking about George's visit to the set when he was shooting R1 and bouncing ideas off the...

    Kenobi: A Star Wars Story (2020)

    Not sure how much shitting would go on until they formally announcing they're even making it. The Fett movie is probably more likely at this point. The already had a rollout video presentation made for it to show a couple of years ago that ended up sitting on the shelf after they fired Josh Trank.

    Well the poster says 2020 but why anyone would think they'd have a trailer for a movie that would come out even in 2019 when they haven't dropped one for a movie that comes out just 5 months from now is beyond me.

    Kenobi: A Star Wars Story (2020)

    The OP is a fan made trailer. There's a lot of them out there using footage from McGregor's movie Last Days In The Desert. Some people even tried their hands at adding "special effects" to some of them. This one was made back when the Rey Kenobi theories were all the rage and had him take up...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I'm not saying the subversion of expectations has limited popular appeal as a storytelling device but more about using an unanticipated theme resulting in critics giving the movie credit more readily than a general audience would minus seeing the payoffs to all of that failure it drove the...

    Well based on the leaked LEGO images that are starting to show up (which means they're probably not gonna be pushing this out to December since they would have also pulled back on the cross promotional stuff, though a delay to late summer/early fall is still in the cards I suppose) it looks like...

    It was his old fighter. He hung on to it for sentimental reasons I'm sure. Plus in the lore R2 and the fighter's computer had worked together so much that it had developed computational advantages when paired with the droid. Potential BF2 spoiler:

    And Luke had been missing for years by that point. There's no telling how long the x-wing had been submerged, in sea water no less. The leaked images from the pinball game months ago showed the canopy was torn off so the electronics were probably shot.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I agree and to it I would add that the movie went for a different sort of message than many critics probably expected from it. It's not hard to imagine someone who watches movies for a living having an affinity for the genuinely unexpected, particular where blockbusters are concerned. The...
