    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    There's isn't a lot in it that hasn't been in the previous trailers. There's one shot of Surtur that is new and a shot of The Grandmaster while he's announcing the start of a fight that hasn't been shown before. I think that's it.

    I dunno. I mean they haven't moved the Solo movie yet but they might be waiting to see how much reshooting they need to do and how that will effect the production time before settling on a new date. Kennedy will probably do everything possible to stick to those dates. The movies making big...

    With Ron Howard promising that his brother Clint would indeed show up in the Solo movie I guess Rian Johnson decided to bring in regular of his own for TLJ; Joseph Gordon-Levitt is going to be doing the voice for an alien character.

    Guilllermo. I agree with you for the most part but I would flip it. I think the main sage, in the near term at least, should stick to Star Wars and it's usual themes as they have always been. And what they're doing so far is consistent with that. It's the anthology movies that should be...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I would expect to see about as much of Luke in this one as we got of Han in TFA. Each of the old big three were going to take turns being the most prominent of that group for the sequel trilogy and TLJ is Luke's time. While Hamill has publicly undersold his role Rian Johnson has been pretty...

    He's like a lot of fans are when they're own head canon doesn't pan out. It's been mentioned before that he was critical of the directing and writing when the OT was in production as well.

    If you're not familiar with Lawrence Kasdan or haven't seen many interviews with him the guy is prickly even on a good day and a bit of an asshole the rest of the time. Abrams ended up getting involved in writing the script with him. And this is a guy who has stated publicly on numerous...

    Which is why I've been either unexcited or outright down on every idea they've announced or thrown out to see how fans react since Rogue One. That at least had the war angle to give it potential. Early life or origin stories around Yoda, Han, etc ... no thanks. The ideas for the Fett movie...

    You'll likely get your wish in the not yet announced Kenobi movie. I can easily see them using Vader as the premise for getting Obi-Wan off of Tantooine. He hears about Vader and begins to suspect that Anakin survived on Mustafar and decides to make one last effort to pull him back from the...

    I think the premise was a good one as far as wanting to create a Star Wars war movie. I think they made a mistake in trying to wrap that around the stealing of the DS plans though. And that goes back to them being overly shackled to the events and characters of the OT. It would have been...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Not to throw cold water on your hope but there are zero rumors or evidence right now just a few months from release that Luke even lights up a saber. That doesn't mean he won't. LFL has gotten incredibly good at keeping what they want to remain unknown close to their vest since TFA.

    Them going "home" with Zeb is certainly a plausible way to have them live and explain their absence in the time period that follows but at the same time it cheapens the established relationships between the various team members, particularly Hera and Kanan. Being a kid's show they haven't...

    Thank christ. I didn't like him getting the nod to begin with and the calls for him to go have been steadily building even before all of the drama with L&M unfolded. In fact Trevorrow still being set to helm IX while those two were shown the door gave the whole affair an added sense of irony...

    I'm not sure that it's a finished image. In fact it looks like it could almost be concept art. That's one thing Rogue One did well though; making the CG ships look like models.

    It was clear from just the trailer that the bombers didn't have that much in common with b-wings outside of some very basic design elements. For your b-wing fix in TLJ you're better off looking to the skimmer speeders. No it's not a ship but it has a lot more in common with the b-wing than the...

    I don't think Bran is supposed to be showing excitement about anything. They're pretty much pitching him as the HAL 9000 of the North. And he is probably waiting to talk to Jon personally about his parentage. That's a bit of information you wouldn't trust to a raven though I suppose he could...

    No not many of 'em around here but even if they're were I doubt I would look at that and roll past poncho to settle on cape coat, considering most cape coats have full fronts and arm slits and modern hunter's ponchos have a shortened side like that one does. The top with the puffy arms looks a...

    You have an odd idea of effeminate where clothes are concerned. To me it a evokes duster jacket and a bit of Eastwood's poncho from 60's era westerns. Though it's essentially a rain slicker with an oiled leather coat underneath.

    They've certainly changed The Force from a never ending interplay of purely light vs. dark. We've seen a number of characters show up in recent years that are very much protagonists but walk more of a middle ground where The Force is concerned. That's not a simplification to my eyes. And...

    To service the fans through a reunion with Jaime and a side order of closure with The Hound for good measure.

    So the negative consequences of the brilliant idea to go north of The Wall and bring back a wight stack up as: 1) Lost one of the only 3 dragons in existence 2) Lost priest with the power to resurrect at least one person from the dead 3) The Wall rendered obsolete 4) Wasted time getting played...
