And at least one major action sequence needs to be a result of one character going off on their own and aggroing every goon in the area before needing to be rescued, which the party does semi-reluctantly because their stealth approach had been working

Theories:

Vibranium absorbs energy and then re-emits it in amplified form. It’s just what it does. It can basically be used to create perpetual motion devices and completely free energy. That’s why Wakandan tech always uses vibranium in the power source. It provides limitless energy if you design it right... but it requires a…

Sony have been pretty obvious about how little they care about which six villains they use for the S6, so long as they have six of them.

Don’t forget that in the MCU, parallel universes are created via time travel.

Did you just say that because you wanted someone to post a gif of Chris Evans in a towel?

That would be paying it back, not paying it forward. Paying it forward is when you repay the favor to a third person who was not involved in the first favor. This is usually done when the first favor-doer either does not want or is unavailable for the favor to be paid back.

Ah right. I thought you were saying one was because of the other and I was like “that’s a silly reason to dislike him”. But I get you now. I like him myself, but I’m not the man’s publicist so if you dislike him, you do you.

My point is that somebody being a superfan of the franchise is not a prerequisite for being a good actor. I’d be worried if a writer or director was working on Star Wars without being a fan, since the quality of the movie or show depends immensely on their vision, and acting as a suitable continuation of the franchise…

Well then that puts him in good company with Alec Guinness. Honestly, most of the Star Wars cast thought it was just some goofy movie until it became a hit.

Mayfeld is back because he’s a former imperial and therefore might know shit about where to look. They need him specifically because they’ve killed every other imperial they’ve ever met aside from the ones they’re looking for. Cara Dune tends to kill them on sight as a general rule, and Fennec is NOT ex-imp, she was…

I’m not sure banishing Carrie Fisher’s last performances to Legends is as positive a step as you seem to think it is.

That’s actually not an image of Stan’s face but a facemorph blending Hamill and Stan’s face together. Stan looks a little like a young Hamill but not to that degree.

The reason Ezra is considered the most likely to answer the call is because of the Thrawn name-drop. At the end of Rebels, Ezra saves the Phoenix rebel cell and the planet of Lothal by using the Force to call on some space whales called purgills to grab hold of Thrawn’s ship (with both himself and Thrawn on it) and…

Suspension of disbelief is still valid since this is a galaxy where cybernetics are so advanced that they can give Luke a hand that looks indistinguishable from the real thing, and cloning technology is industrial, plus people with magic powers exist. At a certain point you just have to accept that in this galaxy, you…

My guess is that Boba and Din had very similar journeys: remember, according to multiple official sources, Jango’s armor was not beskar but durasteel. This now makes sense since, as a Foundling, he wouldn’t inherit beskar; Mandalorians pass their family armor down to their kids, not to random orphans they pick up. Din…

Got it. NDP is great and every other party is an evil virus of Satan. Thank you for telling me what to think.

Never mind how dumpy they look, the fact that Cap looks like he’s about to head out and crack some protester skulls is just not a good re-imagining of the character’s aesthetic.

People expect the Marvel brand to be able to sell anything but what they don’t realize is that before the MCU, the Marvel brand was just as likely to indicate soul-crushingly bad quality as good quality. I’ve seen some pretty terrible movies, TV shows, video games and books with the Marvel logo attached.

I was OK with TFA, even though it was a rehash of creaky old SW tropes, because tonally and aesthetically it showed a lot of promise, and the few new ideas it had (Finn being a stormtrooper) opened the doors for plenty of juicy story possibilities.
