    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    Even though it's a non-spoiler review there is one part that might be considered spoilerish but they give plenty of heads up before going there.

    It's a fictional setting Keg. I won't bother explaining the implications of that because I'm sure you're well aware, not that it matters.

    The part of that whole thing that was more out of place was him trying to hold someone's hand while trying to run from something to begin with.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Pretty much. They probably see the newer movies the same way that a lot of current fans of them do; not as good as the OT but certainly better than the prequels. But I don't think it's simply a matter of them conducting their own little rebellion against the merchandising associated with the...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Mmmmm .. yeeeeaaahhh. More like "If they had known at the time that they would end up going for the disgruntled fan/Star Wars backlash crowd they would have ripped TFA to shreds." Because that schtick gets them way more run than if they were just another collection of voices out there saying...

    Springboarded from the TLJ thread: Sure it will. It always has. It's just a matter of will it be in ways that trips any particular person's SJW alarm. Did you see that video someone linked of Lucas talking about the considerations that went into casting for Leia? That was happening just a...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I tell ya what, I'll throw my response over in the general Star Wars movie thread so as not to bog this one down with it. It's a discussion that applies more to the franchise as a whole rather than any one specific installment.

    RUMOR: ‘Mr. Robot’ Creator Sam Esmail Might Pen ‘Star Wars’ Anthology Script Some interesting rumors and a bit of speculation in that. The most solid takeaway though is the Boba Fett movie is pretty much a certainty. They'll probably announce it a D23 this summer.

    Star Wars Novels (Keep your EU shit out of here!)

    Yeah that's gonna happen sometimes. Star Wars has a large fan base and contrary to what some people claim, there is some variety in the preferences of those fans. Sure there are some that will gobble up anything with the SW name on it and ask for more but they aren't the majority (though there...

    Star Wars Rebels

    You mean the convor? I don't think so. At least not this specific one. It showed up in S2 of Rebels so they probably started pre-production on the visuals after the decision to can the old EU was made internally at Lucasfilm. And the Twilight of the Apprentice episode contained another...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I'm alright with them going for something that seems "cool" or at least different so long as it doesn't come off as overly contrived or require some level of mental gymnastics to make sense. If that's they only way they can get to cool (the George way) then I'd rather have something more...

    Filoni threw a little gas on that running Ahsoka returns theory when he answered a question about it in a recent interview: "You'll see something of Ahsoka in someway again. We'll have to see what form that takes... Reminds me a bit of what we did on Mortis..."

    It also demonstrates just how much leash Marvel gives it directors, not only Gunn but the Russos as well. They didn't force the character on either of them.

    Yeah I remember from my Topps Star Wars cards I had when I was a kid that there was one that referred to Vader as Dark Lord of the Sith and that was back when ESB came out. It was just a cool sounding title that Lucas used back then though. There wasn't any background on it to be had. But the...

    There was no way to convey his dismay when Rey was able to turn the tables on him and pull some information from his mind if he's wearing that mask. I suppose it could have been attempted with voice ques but it wouldn't have been nearly as effective and would have undermined the imposing visage...

    Marvel's Cloak & Dagger

    The budget for it is actually on par with the Netflix shows (averages around $3.2 million per episode) provided the initial season runs the same length. The series was budgeted at $42 million for the first season.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Yeah Driver has some really exaggerated features. You want to draw the eye away from his nose, not to it. Abrams probably figured fuck it, he'll be in a mask most of the time anyway. Which itself is kinda dumb. You don't cast a reasonably talented actor and keep him behind a motionless mask...

    Feige has a pretty good track record so far with the lower profile directors he's picked to helm various titles. If choosing them on the basis of how well they take marching orders is what's gotten us this far (hint: it isn't) then I say keep on keepin' on.
