OJ Simpson's pained "oh no" when he gets paint on his jacket, that in the middle of being shot to pieces, someone can still feel so inconvenienced by a large and obvious paint stain on a jacket and wonder how they'll get it off later.

He promised Ford the death of Solo.

No Star Trek? The message that basically boils down to "We do awesome things because there's no bigotry any more."

The ending was just the nicest thing ever.

I think Harrison Ford might have requested a clause like Charlton Heston did in Planet of the Apes, you get me back for this crap only if you kill me.

The Order didn't seem to have that many more. Leia mentioned something about not having the Republic's fleet to hand, but I'd think they'd rally as quickly as the Resistance fighters.

"commercially successful but widely maligned prequel trilogy".

Yup, it looked like at times Ren's use of the force was all that Rey needed as examples to go from surviving as a scavenger in a harsh place to Jedi Knight in training.

What's the difference between Rey's "Mary Sue" and Luke's… whatever the equivalent of that for a guy is?

That trailer is like a bad fan mashup, but knowing that Abrams has left for his favorite place in the whole world (a long time ago, in a galaxy well fucking far away from Star Trek) and won't just copy and paste another previous film or episode, I think I can be cautiously optimistic for this.

"Disappointed" is supposed to be the gently shaming catch all.

I thought you said in the manner of Takei and I wondered.

I feel that way about my daughter and she's only been about for *ten* years.

I never got into the first game (or *the* game, in the unlikely event this didn't get funded). It felt like a bit of a fumbled joke, like Mars Attacks.

Did it help or hinder Samurai Cop?

The child be a new prophet and will grow to usher in a new era of peace between Canadians and Germans.

I took out as a master testing the newcomer by simply defending and allowing Luke to try anything he can first.

So without Thrawn then, TIE Fighter isn't canon.

When you see the talent of the graphic designers alone, from the original trilogy to the prequels, you wonder why the same money couldn't have been spent on people to help with writing and directing.

They deserve neither hatred nor love, they were mostly meh and a disappointment given what we hoped Lucas might do with the series.
