It's not obvious in ANH that a star destroyer is faster than her corvette (it is, but not by much) particularly just because it's bigger when we see later in the movie a much smaller Millennium Falcon outrun 2 of them. I never got that sort of inference from ANH. It's too vague and Vader...

One of things R1 attempted to do was to answer some of the questions and criticisms surrounding the plot of ANH (such as addressing the whole exhaust port thing and creating a reason for it being there) as well as create context for various elements of the story. One question that you never...

First off Starkiller Base and the destruction of Hosnian Prime, yeah that shit was too much. But that isn't really a case of instant travel (which we seem to have different notions of. It seems like you consider it "overly abbreviated" while to me it's more like "Beam me down Scotty"). Unless...

While it lasts ...

Ahh. Then yeah you waited too long. Some shows are great for binge watching but when something becomes appointment television the way GoT has you end up missing the full effect of those episodes with that napalm-in-the-morning smell that follows in their wake. Buckle up buttercup ... and enjoy.

Have you read the books?

I assume you mean not showing more indications of the passage of time during lightspeed travel. I don't think there has ever been a clearly depicted occurrence of instantaneous travel in any of the movies. You can't always have things like the travel time training routine like we saw in ANH...

I'm gonna have to keep you in suspense until the appointed time.

It probably didn't occur to him that the archives would be any sort of target that they would have been interested in. Without knowing that the Rebellion was aware of a potential design flaw in the Death Star I don't think many people would instantly connect those dots in that situation.

One thing they're capable of that we've never really seen (only mentioned) in the movies but is covered in some of the novels is planetary bombardment. Given enough time in orbit around a planet they can do a nasty bit of damage to localized areas.

All of the movies thus far have had plot devices and storyline elements that fall apart when subjected to the scrutiny that the fan base has grown accustomed to subjecting them to. Some more easily than others of course, but each movie has several. My expectation at this point is that they...

They just got lucky. Sometimes that's what battles come down to. Who gets lucky first. There was a disabled star destroyer incapable of defending itself. A second destroyer in close proximity but positioned such that it couldn't bring it's weapons to bear on the hammerhead. The Imperial...

Goddamn I loved those things. They got me to grant them a reprieve for skimping their Mexican Pizza into mediocrity.

I'll resurrect an idea I had a while back about doing a better job of utilizing Captain Phasma. She flees the First Order because her monumental fuck up in lowering the shields on Starkiller Base and becomes a bounty hunter of sorts, intent on redeeming herself to Snoke. She takes out some key...

Multi-film contracts are generally set up on a option basis, with the discretion lying solely in the studio's hands. If they end up using her likeness for the third film I don't know how an existing contract would ultimately factor into that. Especially if she had the foresight and felt the...

Such a tease. Link the full length version.

Depends on how closely they want to parallel the originals. The humans never bounced back in those. They just hung out in church with melted faces until a real man showed up and said fuck this, if we can't have it neither can you.

Since Jar Jar is a CGI character, just replace Sandler with him in any of his movies from the last decade.

Yeah it doesn't make much sense within the context of the movie. I immediately wondered the same. But it is explained in the novelization. Leia's ship had been badly damaged on one of her missions, to the point that it wasn't spaceworthy. Admiral Raddus had gone to assist them and her ship...

He's needs to be a little more consistent with dropping his g's in his dialog for those types of roles. It was something I kept noticing in True Grit as well. Especially when he said "Coon hunting?". You don't drop the ra from racoon and still hang on to the g in hunting. Not in Arkansas at...

Preventing shit like that from happening is actually a dedicated, credited position on a film crew (continuity supervisor). They're supposed to make sure shit like wardrobe, hair, makeup, props, and set pieces emain consistent from shoot to shoot, since you're often joining fragments of...

Rebelscum.com: Rogue One Home Release Date That's about 3 weeks later that TFA dvd release date was.

Yeah I managed to leave ship out of that somehow.

Yeah they could make it something just that simple. Have her death mentioned as part of the scrawl and open with a shuttle leaving a capital to carry some dignitary to her funeral.

Carrie Fisher Death: ‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ Had Already Wrapped With Leia Taking Larger Role "For Episode VIII, Leia had a larger role, we’re told, and her daughter, Billie Lourd also is in that film as well as in Force Awakens. How Lucasfilm will deal with the loss of one of the most...

Yeah it's more about the possibility of having to adjust the story to account for her not being around for Ep 9. We don't know if Ep 8 intends to leave any unresolved threads with Leia as tie-ins or if they now decide to go ahead and set up her eventual absence. Principle photography is done...

There are some potential barriers to that. Using the image of a deceased actor in a movie requires the permission of the actor's family. They got that from Peter Cushing's family but he had been dead for quite some time. Thinking about seeing a not quite convincing CGI rendition of a close...

Yeah gutting through a single season of a TV/streamed show is a different animal. It's not unreasonable at all to stick with something you like the premise of for a season, especially if you find character development boring and are waiting for the meat of the story to be served up. But unless...

It was more of a generalized statement than something directed specifically at you though I guess shades of it would probably apply. You just supplied a convenient springboard for making it. It's obvious that some posters here haven't seen a Star Wars movie they liked or cared for that was...

What's even more remarkable is that people who clearly don't care for the current take on all of Lucas' half-baked ideas continue to invest the time and money into watching them anyway. Though now that I think about it that shouldn't be surprising. It's just born out of their own half-baked...

That was Admiral Raddus, the grey Mon Cal at the Council meeting. He's an original Rogue One character. He hasn't appeared on Rebels. Not yet anyway.

Yeah his confrontation with Krennic was to buy Jyn and Lyra time to make their getaway. Lyra just didn't follow through on the game plan. She had come to despise Krennic for the threat he posed to the family and the pillaging of planets that he had been directly responsible for. I don't think...

Don't forget Meg Ryan's best friend in When Harry Met Sally.

Yeah the lack of any sort of news about her condition after they said she was stable didn't bode well. It's sobering to see your early boyhood crushes pass away. RIP Princess.

Yea primary photography is done (has been for months) and it's being edited. This could change what ultimately shows up on screen though since they have a lot of time to adjust the story to account for her future absence.

Freddie Prinze Jr. revealed some upcoming Rebels nuggets in his Twitch stream on Christmas Eve. He talks about Star Wars off and on and someone asked in the channel why would Vader think Ahsoka was dead since we know as viewers that she lived. He said we would get an answer to that in the show...

Singing. What happens is singing.
