“Empire Movers: Our fleet of fast and efficient semis are ready to deliver your possessions with statistically zero damage from rebel scum and their strangely accurate laser blasts.”

Super-duper long corridor where they filmed the forty-five minute-long opening crawl of the film.

Allows atmospheric maneuvering, obviously.

Dear god, I can’t believe I’m about to suggest this, but I really hope one of the kids becomes the prototypical ‘90s Image Comics-style over-the-top character, complete with ponytail, braids, ridiculous armor, questionable anatomy, ludicrous weaponry (like a gun that shoots swords!), and pouches.

They’re best when spitted and turned slowly over an open flame.

Clearly, he’s a Bothan. One of many. You get three guesses what happens to him and his fellows before the end of the film, and the first two don’t count.

I could have done without the last hundred and a few more pages. Say the entire third act of this one. He lost two stars from my review for it.

Is there any practical reason to have this chemical on hand? Or is it more of a "OMG LET'S MIX ALL THIS JUNK TOGETHER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS" kind of thing?

Tom Hardy name-dropping Transmetropolitan is the best thing I've seen all day.
