Luke also found his own way with the Force outside the Jedi, ultimately following Yoda and Obi-Wan in essentially becoming part of it.

You think he shot two movies in the time-span between September 2022 and this movie’s release in December 2023?

And the ominous overtones in the bar become a little bit more overt, and they have to be, because you’ve got to make a statement about your awareness of where you are.

It’s a word. That means exactly how it was used. I think you’re taking out an unrelated anger on the writer due to a lack of healthy ways of processing stress (an increasing problem among isolated people) and perhaps you should take a breather and find someone to talk to about it.

“Guy makes movie kind of like another Kurosawa movie” is a flat critique 63 years after John Sturges remade Seven Samurai with cowboys, 59 years after Sergio Leone took the actual beat-for-beat script of Yojimbo set in the same year and just swapped in cowboys, 46 years after George Lucas remade Hidden Fortress in…

300 is pretty but toxic. When people watch Snyder movies and ask, “What’s this about” and then you watch 300 and go, “Oh, God, is this about...?” that keeps it out of the top running for me.

Snyder’s visuals, design, and creature effects are all second to none. Those things absolutely make what you’re watching entertaining. But when the film ends, you don’t feel like you’ve learned much beyond what’s unfolded on screen. Who are these characters? Why should we care? What’s this all been about?

I was born in California, grew up in Texas, live in California.

MASH was a show/movie taking place during the Korean War that was about Viet Nam.

Studio Exec: “So this...”

Texas is a red state, but it’s not necessarily a red population. Preclearance for the Voting Rights Act was ended by the Supreme Court in 2013. Since then, hundreds of polling places affecting millions of voters have been shut down specifically in black and Latino districts while white polling places have steadily…

Technically, everything’s just a prequel for Warhammer 40k.

*swaps “scenario like this” with global warming, Trump, and covid (pick one)*

I don’t know about everyone else, but it’s hard for me to take the trailer seriously when we’re already seeing what another civil war looks like, and it doesn’t look like that.

It’s the same old dance.

She’s an executive producer on a lot of projects, but if you specifically look at what she personally produced on the ground?

It’s even worse than that. If you look at the page of Daniel Levy (https://vyle.artstation.com/projects/bK5Jar), an official concept artist for Rise of Skywalker whose work also appears in the official art book, there’s a plot that existed after Duel of the Fates but before the final draft of Rise of Skywalker...

This is one of the “The trauma’s still too fresh things,” I’m guessing. Because it’s not even better than Boba Fett.

So much was changed while the OT was being created, it’s kind of bonkers when you think about it. Heck, Lucas didn’t even know what the Force was until his producers made him come up with a philosophy behind it. And everybody used to use lightsabers (kind of like Jedi Survivor), they were basically just space swords…

Rey force-pushing Finn in annoyance after her spending two movies constantly wondering where he is and begging him not to leave her and then jumping into his arms the moment she sees him was to kill the Finn/Rey ship.
