I think I missed the timing of Hera and Kanan’s hook-up. Watching the epilogue, it seems like Jacen came along a ways after Kanan died. Or did I miss a concrete reference to how old Jacen is that establishes timing that makes sense for Kanan to be the dad?

Has no one watched the Face Off reality show? Some of the stuff on it is infinitely more imaginative, horrific, and creepy than “mashing a human skull and a bear skull” together. The concept of the creatture was super creepy, but I just kept thinking “zombie bear.” I could only see the bear in the skull, not the…

Ah cool! I can’t wait to pick up my PimpTrooper!!

Yeah, two words: market saturation. We are living in a golden age of scifi and fantasy right now. There is already entirely too much good genre stuff to watch. After TLJ being so “meh” I think the only StarWarses I’m putting at the top of my must-watch list will be Solo, Episode 9 and anything Dave Filoni does. I…

I am thoroughly confused at how people think the original Cloverfield is some sort of masterpiece. I found it pretty bland and boring compared to actual kaiju films I grew up watching. 10 was a much more interesting film when taken inside the same story universe as the original. However, it is barely connected. It’s…

And yet none of these explanations makes enough sense to excuse bad filmmaking. For instance: Rey’s parents are nobodies to prove that anyone can be a Jedi. If that’s true, why do we need the scene with the little white boy at the end? Why couldn’t the shot be on Rey realizing that she came from nowhere but that her…

Two things: 1) why not make a droid stay behind and pilot the thing? 2) If it had to be a female leader from Leia’s past why not have it be Hera from Rebels? If I remember correctly, Leia and Hera worked together in the hijacking of a fleet of hammerheads. And who knows how often they bumped into each other over the…

I wish folks would stop pretending that Star Wars has been stuck in amber since the early 80s. The Star Wars movies may need a kick in the pants, but the franchise has been pretty awesome in its animated form in the Clone Wars series and in Rebels. I think some of the characters in either show are more interesting…

I just thought it was a bad script. Poe’s plot along with Finn and Rose’s plot both go nowhere. If they had locked themselves in their rooms the movie would have moved forward without them and ended up at the same place. That’s bad writing. The part where TLJ Luke doesn’t line up with RoTj Luke is secondary to…

My favroite memory was ever loving this show at all. When season 10 was announced my wife and I sat down and made our way through the entire series and I was really surprised how I found it barely watchable. Partly because I have changed and partly because the world had changed and partly because, the show relied on a…

“At least we’ll always have Transformers movies.”

I’m feeling now, about all these comics being cancelled the same way I felt when Comedy Central cancelled The Nightly Show. The excuse “it’s business” is just that, an excuse. First off, give these new stories a bigger chance than you would the next musclebound hetero white dude in a cape. You’re changing society for…

I wish they’d done it differently—or not at all. Nothing makes the existing movies look worse than pointing out just how sexist they all are by suddenly doing something they should have been doing all along. So, for me, I wish they’d skip Organa’s use of the Force. It always bothered me that she didn’t train just like…

I get the message that anyone can be a hero—it’s been present for a while in the Clone Wars series and even in corners of the prequels—that’s fine! But this movie series has used the Skywalker family as a backbone for 6 movies before Rey was introduced. It seems like uneven storytelling to suddenly introduce a…

Sorry I didn’t see this sooner—browser logged me out without me noticing. I think the dialog and story structure for the casino stuff could have been rewritten so the del Toro character wasn’t quite so cut-throat while still letting there be some social commentary AND have it be Lando. To your question, I like seeing…

Was it really a “perfect” digital double?

I definitely would like to see characters from anywhere else in the SWU to show up so long as they are allowed to be themselves. If they had Lando do the exact same lines as DJ (Del Toro’s character) I’d be against it. But structurally, Lando was a perfect fit. They just chose to not go there for some reason (in which…

I had an acquaintance tell me: “You didn’t like it.” And I responded: “I did and didn’t.” Felt like a pretty Yoda-esque response but it’s true. So much to like and dislike about this movie. Even a few things to love and others to hate. In some ways it’s better than Jedi and other ways worse than Sith. Definitely not…

I found TLJ to be really very enjoyable but wildy uneven and unnecessarily long. It tries to be both ESB and ROTJ at once by drawing way too many connections and handling way too many character arcs. It is entirely too long and on my second viewing could easily spot the stuff that could have been cut. I kinda wish TLJ…

Can’t tell if you think this is a good thing or not. Personally, I don’t. I found it heavy handed and overt in a franchise that is more about fables and myth than cogent social commentary. Yes there are greedy corrupt scumbags throughout the SW universe, but this just felt out of place in the middle of the third…
