I fully expect the contents of Wookiepedia will be harvested in greater depth in the films to come.
You're right that that's the line I'm referring to, and also that it felt "not Star Wars". But that's actually what I think works about the jokes: in what was otherwise a really slavish continuation of the series, it's the secret new ingredient in what was, up to now, an increasingly humorless franchise (the animated…
Oddly, even more than the death scene, that's the one moment where my heart leapt.
I really haven't seen any of his performances over the last decade or so, but I was pretty impressed by how much he did here in such minimal fashion - just little bits of expression, turns of phrase or timing, even posture - more than anything else in the film, he suggested the real weight of the intervening decades…

All that does is beg the question: When does the world get the Captain Carrot ongoing that it so desperately needs?
I've been trying to remember what cartoony character he looks just like for WEEKS now. Thanks!

Awesome, I hadn't heard about that - thanks!
That's why the apres-mentioned Dread is a great wake-up call for jaded powergamers. Wanna fire off a shot at that Mi-Go? Wipe off the Cheeto dust, get up off the chair, and try to still your trembling hand-sausages.
Fuck yeah Cave Evil. I want to play that game so bad, but I just can't bring myself to shell out a hundred bucks for it. At least I can still look at the most badass boardgame promo video ever made:
Soy Cuba features some of the most stunning camerawork and most ravishingly photographed images in cinema. Yet it is a Soviet-sponsored propaganda film through and through.
