Or because it gets them more attention (and channel traffic) when they are critical of the franchise. The last time they really got a lot of that was when they did what you pointed out, ripped on the prequels. They gave TFA a not glowing but overall positive review, but how many people cared...

Hamill is probably the only guy that can troll Star Wars fans and become more likeable in the process.

It's our most modestly priced receptacle. Carrie Fisher Gets a Laugh Even at Her Own Funeral

I personally don't need a character to be likeable. I do need to understand why they do what they do and how they fit into the larger scheme of things. They might become likeable after that, or someone you like to hate, or someone you can sympathize with on some level even if not completely...

They could have used a little less Tarkin true. Simply because they didn't have the original actor and they were committed to not recasting him. You can't really cut him out completely though to have him just show up and clearly running the show in ANH. But they could have established the...

Well Tarkin isn't his boss. And Vader certainly isn't Tarkin's boss. But they both have in's to the Emperor and Krennic doesn't. That's why he goes to Vader, to use him as an in and go around Tarkin (who isn't about to do Krennic any favors). But the movie doesn't convey any of that and...

There isn't one villain just like there isn't one hero though there is one for each (Krennic and Jyn Erso) that gets more focus than the others.

It's a parody that takes some shots at some of the specific movie review shows as well as mocking those types of reviewers in general. I only watch a couple of them with any regularity but the set, with all the toys and memorabilia everywhere, is how Jedi Council's set is laid out though you...

There a nice little easter egg that quickly pops up in the trailer. When Thrawn turns and shoots his blaster ...

The Old Ben voice was Stephen Stanton. The same guy who does Tarkin for the show and was Admiral Raddus in Rogue One. He really did nail it in that preview.

Back when I was a kid the Worst Toy Award went to that action figure display they had. You'd have gladly taken any vehicle at all over that thing. It rated as less than an unimaginative doll house. All it did was let you rotate some of the figures from side to side and silently shamed you for...

I think we could well see a nod to BRB. I'm pessimistic about ever seeing him as a full blown Thor stand-in though. Not while Hemsworth is still willing to play the part and stays dreamy enough for da ladies to pull them into the theaters.

Yup. It's kinda like asking (not that it's a stupid question Butthurt, this is just an extreme parallel) why didn't the rebels evac some of the tauntauns when they left Hoth. They could have really used them on Endor instead of having to rely on the generosity of teddy bears.

This is also true. If by the rebellion you mean "the effort to amass more money than God so I can tell all of those studio execs to bite me while I make my shit exactly the way I want it ... and maybe buy a ranch to".

The issue with the x-wings was not the low temperature. It was the low numbers of them the Rebellion had at the time and the need for them to assist in the evacuation of Echo Base. Snow speeders couldn't leave atmosphere while x-wings could. But snow speeders did have to be adapted to the...

The Resistance isn't fully funded by the government though. They were a splinter movement within the New Galactic Republic, privately funded by a handful of Senators and other concerns who agreed with Leia that The First Order was already a legitimate threat that needed to be dealt with before...

What you saw on Scarif weren't AT-AT's. Oh no sir! They were AT-ACT's! Nah they were made primarily for moving cargo so they were more lightly armored to allow them to carry more weight. And the x-wings on Hoth were being sent out to escort the transports.

If they want to start sewing some seeds for an eventual Old Republic era turn in the franchise and change things up a bit with a more mystical rather than technological threat, they could pull some inspiration from some of the older lore and have Snoke trying to form his own triumvirate becoming...

No I don't think they would either. At least I hope they don't. And you can have too much of that snarky flavor if you have multiple characters serving it up so that there isn't enough contrast for it to be effective. But the Bale news tends to make me think they have a straighter character...

Hobodin.

Well we've seen him play the wise cracking, seasoned mentor before in Zombieland. But now it's being reported that they were looking at Christian Bale before Harrelson which makes me wonder exactly what kind of character they're wanting this mentor to be.

Cassian. Bohdi was the defector shuttle pilot.

I think we all knew by now that Doctor Strange was going to show up in this due to the post-scene in his movie. But it's starting to sound like it's going to be more than just brief appearance: Disney Things We’re Most Excited for in 2017 - D23 'If you need even more intergalactic...

What I was talking about there had nothing to do with salvaging Starkiller Base as a concept.

Bodhi is also from Jedha though I'm not sure if that was mentioned. He was a bit of a spaz and I missed some of his dialog. I believe he also said something about a sense of debt and that it would be made good if he helped Galen.

FYI, when a Watchers on the Wall article says the pictures below contain major spoilers, take them at their word.

I like how you decided to quote my post before gnashing your teeth some more over Starkiller Base but omitted the part of it where I said it was a bridge too far.

Really ... why not? I mean if you're saying that it's a bad thing for a movie to be so reliant on information that exists in other formats like books, tv shows, historical events, etc. that someone who has no knowledge of that information can't follow the movie's plot or understand the...

It's a silly question really. If you take away the Star Wars label and strip out all of the trappings and indications of it being a part of that franchise eliminating all of the context and motivations that inherently come with that and replace it with ... nothing? Of course it wouldn't be any...

He just wanted to know what butthurt feels like first hand.

Rian Johnson started writing it while TFA was still in production. And screenplays are never truly done until the finished movie is in the can. They're revised during most of the production process.

If you haven't read Catalyst, this is a good chunk of Krennic's story within the novel.

Higher probability of happening around 2117, this or a merely good video game movie?

Well he described the rights situation that existed, and still exists, when The Incredible Hulk was made. Marvel Studios was directly involved in it's production (which is why it's considered part of the MCU) but it was distributed by Universal and not Disney.
