Yeah when it comes to comic book movies and Star Wars he readily admits that he is extremely easy to please.

Fan theories in the era of new canon have always cast too wide of a net in their effort to piece shit together for the movies. That's one of the reasons why I've never found them all that interesting and to the limited extent that I've followed them it's been more to get a chuckle out of how...

A 60% drop would be right in line with R1 which had Christmas Eve, historically one of the worst movie attendance days of the year, land right in the middle of that weekend. But it also included Christmas Day, one of the stronger attendance dates, to then offset that. That's not the case this...

I've said all along that I thought the stuff about them making Ace Ventura in space was bullshit. That was just spin control coming out of Lucasfilm. The real reason they were cut loose was revealed when it came out later that they weren't shooting the number of setups per day that Kasdan and...

No one has said that. That was just a discussion about one of the particulars of how hyperspace travel in the setting has been portrayed as working before now. It's not a statement either pro or con what was shown in this movie. Some of you really need to let go of the notion than any post...

Collisions can and do happen in hyperspace. It goes back to Rebels again but the purrgil were a type of creature that could travel through hyperspace lanes and were generally hated by pilots because of the potential for fatal collisions with them.

I thought the scene with Luke and R2 was one of the best moments in the movie. Sure I would have liked to have seen him used more but that island wasn't the sort of place he was going to be able to get around on short of those god awful rockets that I hope to never see on screen again, on him...

The way they been shown before (in the Rebels series) they do have range limitations. They can be used to target specific ships to prevent them from jumping and they can focus on a general area to pull any ship passing through it in at lightspeed from hyperspace, negating almost all of their...

Not really. You can always introduce a new technology as a countermeasure the way they introduced hyperspeed tracking in this one. And they already have one in-universe they've just never shown them in the movies; the Interdictor class of starships equipped with gravity wells that pull ships...

Yeah but it is a cinematic production. It has a much bigger budget than you see in a cable movie and was made to utilize Dolby ATMOS sound. And it has a director with big feature film experience. Unfortunately that director is David Ayer.

I think her rationale for leaving Poe out of the loop was because of hit fatal hotshotting and ignoring orders that earned him a demotion from Leia, which Holdo highlighted when she pulled him aside to dress him down. She tried to turn it into a teachable moment about following orders at face...

There was a twi'lek in the crowd in a scene from the trading post near the beginning of Rogue One. There was also one shown dancing in a holo recording that someone was watching in the same movie, in Saw's lair as I recall.

Yoda did deliver the central message of the movie. Not just the stuff about being a master but also coping with failure and getting something out of it. There was tons of failure all up and down the ranks of the good guys. Luke was the only one who really moved beyond his setback. For the...

He said he was going to give her 3 lessons. The first one was a long version of Ben's description of what the force actually is, how it's balanced, and ended on saying the jedi don't have a monopoly on the light side. The second one seemed to be his treatise on why the jedi were ultimately a...

I think this is part of the reason I'm so torn over this one. It's got some real problems but I'd have a hard time denying that RJ was trying to bust Star Wars out of the narrow little box it's existed in for so long now, which is something I've been wanting to see happen. The execution really...

Of course it is. We have porn.

I'm pretty casual when it comes to following box office numbers. Some people really get down into the weeds with it though and not even as part of their job. There's an entire forum called Box Office Theory where people discuss that shit on the granular level. I think they even run...

Yeah I wondered how he drew that conclusion myself. The full spread of the comScore numbers that he's citing shows the opening day audience to be largely males over the age of 25 (42% of the audience). And most of those seemed to like it (89% gave it a positive rating). But yes part of the...

This was my concern with 9 as soon as they announced Abrams was replacing Trevorrow (though replacing him was itself a good move). Abrams isn't a closer. He could have directed all three movies and many of those same questions that people feel like Johnson ignored would have gone unanswered...

The mirror he mentioned was the one from Harry Potter.

I'm not sure what you see there that constitutes a defense of this movie. It's an interpretation of a particular scene. I didn't say it was either a good or bad narrative choice. But I'll do that now. I said a long time ago when it was a regular discussion in the TFA thread that I didn't...

Just within the context of the movie Kylo telling her she's the daughter of junkies who sold her off, and her believing him, isn't definitive proof of that being who her parents are. He's wanting her to forget about her past so he would naturally tell her something she'd happily put in her rear...

They're already saying they're working on a sequel. Trying to answer those bad reviews with a confident face.

Episode IX: Return of the Janitor Finn, shocked by the horrific acts that his duty requires him to perform on unshaven cooch, flees The Rebellion and goes to Canto Bight seeking the elusive hacker who previously betrayed him hoping to be trained in the ways of "fuck all yall, I'm on my side"...

He may have. Part of why I want to watch it again is there was some of Luke's dialog that I didn't quite catch the first time.

Luke pretty much explained the situation with Kylo from his perspective. He said he saw the darkness in him and how willfully he embraced it shocked him. Knowing the evil things he would do his immediate impulse was to go ahead and end him before he could do them (kinda like the Hitler in his...

1/16/18 That's your Blu-ray release date. Will include all of the prologue shorts that came out in the lead up to the movie. Digital release is the day after Christmas.

There's a place for it (and they're developing a live action show now for Disney's streaming service) but it will probably be set at some point in the past, just like everything else is. And fans are going to have to get used to the differences that the limitations of a smaller budget are going...

The only people who are really aware of all that backstory are the more hardcore fans. Not having Snoke more fleshed out within it yet is part of the disconnect between what everyone more or less needs to know and what the core fans want to know. And if you read all of that stuff you know how...

No sequel is going to address every single one of the potential questions that arise out of it's predecessor. Especially in Star Wars where you have detail obsessed fans pouring over minutiae wondering about things that really aren't all that relevant to the narrative regardless of how...

Well the trailer shows Sandra Bullock drinking a martini by Danny Ocean's gravestone. I dunno if it's set before the earlier movies and he's faked his death back in the past or something but it does seem to suggest this one is set after those. Not to mention Taylor Swift. That pretty much...
