How can this pic not queue some serious chuckling, especially given the article context.
I mean, it’s not like Ford isn’t completely aware of how the dealership model works, eh?

I like both.

Thanks for the conversational contribution! 

Alright no spoilers but would I like this episode if I haven’t watched most of Clone Wars? I’ve watched a lot of Rebels and a few arcs of Clone Wars. I’ve tried multiple times to get into them but neither show can hold my attention for more than a few episodes before I forget about it.

Along with the other warning you got, I’ll say that it gets better the further it goes. If I didn’t have a 4 year old son, in 2008 when it came out, I wouldn’t have kept watching. I couldn’t believe how much the quality had improved by the end of season 1 and each subsequent season is better than the one before it.

Trace says Rafa won the laundromat she used as a front last episode gambling. The Aurebesh on that store called it “Calrissian So Fresh”. Which of course causes us all to imagine that she won it off some young fresh-faced Lando.

I really don’t think Episode VII needed to be about a bounty hunter turned dad.

“Whoa...where did you learn to fight like that?”

Maybe he’s like a bass player. The lead guitarist in the band dies, but he still plays bass?

Really! This bugged me too. The Falcon should be his damn ship at this point.

I think we all just need to agree to stop thinking about any of these movies. The biggest problem these movies have is that there isn’t time in the series of movies to slot a show like Clone Wars in to fix any of the story telling.

Because JJ hates the prequels— and is afraid to use anything from them other than an Episode III callback to hand-wave away any responsibility for explaining Palpatine’s resurrection. At least RJ expanded on a central prequel theme (the Jedi were flawed and complacent and didn’t see Darth Sidious when he was right…

The original version of A New Hope used the alphabet. Aurebesh came later and was retconned into the movies in later versions. The ship names were correct for a bit. They just need another retcon to explain the names.

Star Wars would be better movies if they had a singular story they were trying to tell (al la MCU). Instead of multiple writers and directors having carte blanche over their portion of the story.

It was watching Solo that I came to a good rule of thumb when it comes to the fanservice:

nothing about the last jedi “blew up” any part of force awakens. it just interpreted the narrative lines in ways some very vocal fans got upset over because they’d gotten attached to their half baked pet “theories.”

I didn’t hate it but I was disappointed by TROS — like a lot of people, it seems. I won’t relitigate what I think is wrong with it because I think that subject’s EXCEPTIONALLY exhausted. It is what it is.

Whether or not the actual story would end up being than TROS, one thing definitely is better - this script properly follows up on themes and ideas laid out in TLJ, unlike JJ’s mess

I thought the de-aging was very good.
