I think Kafrene and Wobani are actually really good names for Star Wars planets.

The new canon seems to be trying to mitigate this by mostly calling them “Mon Cala.”

Beautiful. Beautiful. Just beautiful. Look at you all. This is great. Would you believe it? Great to be here. Just...

...well I mean in my version I don’t think the original Ghostbusters would have had those cameos in addition to playing themselves.

But they’re going ahead with, like, five sequels so maybe this is an attempt to drum up enthusiasm...or at least to make the best of the fact that the movies are coming whether anyone likes them or not.

I’ve always wanted to meld the two worlds. It would be great fun to see them all together for the first time and I think it’s important for the future that we bring it back into a single universe.

Yeah there’s a ton of it in there.

I think the Force uses Chirrut

I also think - and this is particularly relevant given that this is a Lindelof project - shows like LOST have trained audiences to watch TV a particular way, and The Leftovers has all the hallmarks of a show that should lend itself to that. Fans are detectives, now.

I’m glad they’re doubling down on not explaining too much. Uncertainty (and living with it) is at the heart of this show. None of the characters are terribly invested in finding out “what happened” - they’ve got their ideas, and they’d very much like to move on.

Is your question “When did the Tantive IV dock with the Profundity?” My guess is Leia was there waiting for the plans to be transmitted so she could bolt to Tatooine, pick up Ben, then hang a U-ie back to Alderaan with a Jedi and the plans while the…

U-Wings are troop transports/gunships and TIE strikers are atmospheric fighters.

Right. Luke, who shot vermin in his cropduster, is telling a room full of strategists and seasoned combat veterans flying state-of-the-art warplanes that they’re just whining. No one in the room turns to him and says, “Oh, well in that case...” or “You know what? He’s right!” These are combat veterans who, later, fail…

She was a criminal - they could always stick her in the Han Solo movie.

Except in the movie pretty much everyone writes it off the shot as an impossibility.

Or analyze them to find a way to get to the reactor. No one seems to think shooting the exhaust port is a good idea at all - but then, we know that Galen believes a great deal in the Force.

Marvel Yule Log. Classic.
