Disney says otherwise. And Maul’s amazingly a lot better character in these cartoons than he ever was in live-action.

And surprisingly, that match up turns out exactly the way it should have. That whole episode was incredible.

No doubt about the challenge level. Cushing was a goblin. I remember thinking during Captain America 3, that they had somehow snatched Downey’s face from a scene (or several) from his early career. It’s that good. Somebody said elsewhere, though, that it is way easier to alter a face (age or de-age), than to create a…

I would put young Robert Downy, Jr. from Civil War ahead of Tarkin, here, but you are right that the effects were exceptionally good.

All the cool people are leaving and being replaced by fucking assholes.

So, what’s the ethical issue?

Then don’t go to another movie. Its less noise the rest of us will have to listen to

No, Vader is on the ship that the Tantive IV was docked in. And then the closest he gets is like the connecting bridge between the two ships, before the Tantive IV blasts away.

I don’t know why it doesn’t make sense. Leia was just making a lame ass excuse to buy time. It was very obvious to Vader she wasn’t on a diplomatic mission.

Exactly. Folks trying to say that the “beamed to this ship” line is now out of place are nitpicking here.

Yeah the French should have just said “This cake is really good, don’t upset the Queen.” Or the people of Boston should have just drank the tea and asked politely to not be taxed. Fuck the trumps, they should be called out at every opportunity.

I don’t think it can be taken literally when they say the original movie is part of the continuity of these movies. After all, there’s too much about the original that’s completely fanciful. The apes speak English, yet Taylor spends the whole movie thinking he’s on an alien planet — which would be completely idiotic…

Out of curiosity, where did you get the image from? It’s way too nice to be a scan of the original comic page.

Inspiring.

Q: What did Jabba the Hut say to Slave Leia when she complimented him on the lovely texture of his skin?
A: You’re yanking my chain.

Yeah, I’m still working on it.

”the Nightmare came back, and it turned out the person was Jar Jar Binks”

Wrong movie. The Bothans got plans for the 2nd Death Star.

Awesome NIGHTMARE! That sounds like a great action sequence.

The second I saw him talking to Jyn, I thought he was force sensitive. It would explain an awful lot of the events in the movie. Being force sensitive does not mean he is a Jedi. He is just untrained, or not sensitive to the force enough to warrant being trained (he is old enough to have been a youngling).

New Star Wars movie: deep space pirate crew finds a TIE Advanced X1 drifting through space, heavily damaged and apparently having lost hyperdrive halfway through a lightspeed jump. Tractor beam pulls the fighter into their cargo bay.
A few minutes later, the crew inspects the fighter and finds no pilot. Just the…
