Oh, and I forgot to mention the mover nightmares. My favorite was realizing they packed our hard drives in the same box as our subwoofer, aka a giant magnet. Good thing they used empty orange juice and rice dream cartons from our recycling as padding. WTF. Those pics are on my partner’s phone unfortunately.

Holy shit. Search and replace “Los Angeles” for “San Francisco” or “Bay Area” and this could’ve been written by me. Finally was (shockingly) able to buy a house and had to move my geeky life (and that of my partner and two kids) that has accumulated over the past 11 years in a 1400 sq ft rented duplex. Somehow…

...but the last three words of that scene (“is Peter Parker”) are a HUGE MISTAKE.

I believe he mentioned a Kree sleeper cell, which was the first clue that made me wonder if the Skrulls were back in play on earth. I mean, if the Kree have sleeper cells on the planet, then the Skrulls still have a stake in the game. As far as their intentions, as questioned by others here, it’s a stretch to think…

I’m just here to say you’re wrong about Jessica Al... Oh wait. Nope, you’re 100% correct.

Maybe...

Seems like a really cool tour group, but the second Spielberg spouts some shit about how the cinema is the best place to experience Star Wars, I’m dropping his ass off on Main Street where he can watch Steamboat Willie all day.

Yeah, he was right up there with Iron Man 3 Kid. Ha.

So according to the time travel theoretical framework of this film, one alt-timeline Loki is out there with the Tesseract, right? Because going back to the 1970s to get the Tesseract from SHIELD didn’t change that specific time branch, right? Not that it matters too much, but trying to embrace the fact that one…

The Adventures Of Cap & Bucky

The Adventures is Cap & Bucky

I agree that it’s a weird approach, but I’ve started to think that there’s got to be some sort of rationale for it. This is where I’ve landed.

Nah. I think it’s going to not undo it, as Abrams said, but provide the more complete picture. Watch them make it “rhyme” with TPM. Rey’s folks are “nobodies”, but it’ll be revealed that Rey’s nobody mom was impregnated by The Force, not her partner. Shmi Skywalker was a “nobody” slave on a desert planet, just like…

1. I was mostly talking about the numbered movies, and in that, Solo (while decent) is almost its own “doesn’t affect the movies” example.

I was just listening to Collider Movie Talk and Perri Nemiroff hit on something I’ve been mulling over. Want the brainpower of io9-folk to process. So Perri says: “I do wonder if there’s a way to tie ‘Rise of Skywalker’ into Leia’s journey somehow. ... Could you imagine if we end in a place where...I don’t know...her…

Yeah. Sucks for those of us who couldn’t go to the event, but it’s usually to incentivize going to these things and a way of “rewarding the fans” who can make it. In all truthfulness, I often wonder why I’d spend so much and take time off work to go to these things when I can stay home and watch so much of the coverage…

If you haven’t yet, make your way to the Void “Secrets of the Empire” thing. (ANAHEIM, CA, EDMONTON, AB, GENTING, MY, GLENDALE, CA, LAS VEGAS, NV, ORLANDO, FL, SANTA MONICA, CA, TORONTO, ON, WEST PLANO, TX) It incorporates physical environments and 4D effects into the experience that won’t be able to happen with the…

I did the Void VR thing at Disneyland and it was awesome. However you’re sorta right about the Sega CD comparison. There was a very video game feel to the storytelling, architecture / environments, character designs, and sound design of the Vibe experience, and it seems to be here too. Obviously I haven’t done the…

What’s with Vader and young Asian women? First Aphra, now the Smuggler. I’ve got my eyes on you, Anakin. 

I’d rather they just do an Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland miniseries that’s truish to the book first...one that out-Disneys Disney. That Depp live-action bullshit is an easy target to outshine, and the animated film is likely off the radar for most 8-20 year olds. Just study those and merge the best parts with…
