    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Jackson did that to save money which was important when he was shopping LoTR around trying to get one of the studios to actually make it. It's easy to forget just how much of a gamble that property was seen as being back then. Lucasfilm has no problem bankrolling it's movie projects. And that...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    My favorite part was JJ at the end. The one person most responsible for Luke saying fuck all in TFA sitting on the edge of his seat like a baited breathed fanboy wanting to know if Luke was finally going to get some dialog. It immediately reminded me of George Lucas years ago posing for...

    Star Wars Rebels

    Yeah that part of the problem Rebels has on a conceptual level. The target audience and the platform (Disney XD) makes killing off the bulk of the main characters almost a non-starter. But if you're as committed to an overall continuity as this franchise is then having some of these characters...

    The Wullf returns! And Kallus probably is toast. They can't keep showing people slipping Thrawn's noose without diminishing his character into all bark and no bite.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    If they go with that plan then it pretty much guarantees we'll be seeing that Boba Fett movie they were damn close to announcing until Trank showed his ass on FF. That's probably the only thing they have enough of the pre-production already done on that they can swing into full production and...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I don't mean interesting from the standpoint of them being able to get it made in that timeframe but rather how that throws a kink into the pacing of their release slate schedule. Sticking with May '18 for Solo means they'd follow up two movies opening 5 months apart with an 18 month gap...

    So Phoebe Waller-Bridge has been cast. She denied the rumors that she was under consideration when they surfaced last week. And they're still standing by that May '18 release date? Interesting ...

    Star Wars Rebels

    It was the weakest 2-part arc of the entire series so far. It bordered on filler that was only written to have a Rogue One tie in for the sake of a Rogue One tie in. But I suppose that was better than yet another standalone episode that goes nowhere and is unrelated to anything in the overall...

    Star Wars Rebels

    I guess you're talking about the battles of Yavin, Hoth, and Endor. Of those only Endor is one in which it could be said that the various, far flung Rebel cells would have massed to engage the Empire. Yavin and Hoth were both attacks by the Empire on the seat of Rebel leadership. They might...

    The Beer Thread

    They're best known for their sours, which are actually balanced and not just tongue encaving sour, so I would definitely hit up that Golden Angel. But I have liked everything of theirs I've tried. Even their IPA's and I'm not typically an IPA lover.

    The Beer Thread

    I've tried about a dozen different Wicked Weed brews. I've yet to have a bad one and several have been glorious. I haven't seen any of their angel series around here yet though. I live on the opposite end of the state from their brewery and I don't think they have a very large distribution...

    Star Wars Rebels

    Well there's been several statements made in the past by the showrunners and cast that the original plan was for 6 seasons with the possibility of up to 8 but none of those are particularly recent. Filoni did mention in an interview yesterday that we will probably see Sabine again but based on...

    Star Wars Rebels

    I know that's becoming a more popular sentiment since Disney hasn't renewed it beyond this season on XD yet but you have to remember these shows are developed almost a full year in advance of them airing. Season 4 has been in development for quite some time now so I think, one way or the other...

    Hugh Jackman: Logan

    I just don't see it that way. The tag is a warning all by itself that should be taken at face value and I wouldn't bother adding it to a post I didn't think contained information that some would rather not see. As for going out of your way to spoil Star Wars or any other movie or tv show for...

    Hugh Jackman: Logan

    The use of quotation marks there indicates that it was someone else's definition of a non-spoiler and not my own. Either way you decided to read it so it's all on you. I'm sure you'll eventually get over it.

    Hugh Jackman: Logan

    Why would I put something from a non-spoiler review that I agreed was in fact a non-spoiler behind a spoiler tag? Someone complaining about a spoiler tag containing an actual spoiler is giving me flashbacks of the pre-split GoT thread.

    And just try making a good biscuit without it. Many years ago there was an Indian immigrant that I worked with who was new to States and he went with us to grab some breakfast at a little mom and pop place down the street and got his first taste of a true, southern biscuit made by a bunch of...

    Star Wars Rebels

    A helluva episode to come back from a hiatus to. It had a real Game of Thrones feel going on. I've never been a big Mando fan but if they were to do a series that focused on them and the interplay of the various houses I'd be totally down with it.

    Was pretty good. After the initial swallow I thought it was going to end up being just a little too sweet but by the end that impression melted away and it turned out fairly well balanced. I didn't pick up any maple flavor though, just the vanilla and cinnamon.

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

    They're really trying to show the Galactic Civil War from the perspectives of front liners on both sides of the conflict. We get shades of it in Battlefront:Twilight Company, even more in Lost Stars, and now an entire book dedicated to it.

    Me either. He barely looks like the same person and he kicks the British accent extremely well. This is the first Marvel TV/movie character that I have absolutely zero familiarity with but I'm really digging this show. Bonus props for Thomas fuckin' Dolby over the ending credits.
