Well, not always...

Well, neither Hedlund nor Wilde has been announced as attached to the film, and that gives the impression that the iso storyline isn’t significant in T:A.

Jackman has had surgery for skin cancer (multiple times, I think) and asked to have long sleeves on the costume during outdoor scenes to limit his exposure to sunlight. The scenes in this trailer without sleeves are presumably all shot indoors.

Germain has definitely seen Tron before, I’m going to assume this was just a brainfart as there isn’t any red in Legacy (Rinzler is orange-ish, not quite red.)

Judging from those chubby cheeks, I expect there will be no russian into action from these guys.

They were involved with the second Death Star, not the original.

That the World Science Fiction Society, an organization that recognizes Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 as best novel of 1954, would self-censor award nominees due to political fears goes beyond ironic and straight to the dystopia that so many of their award winners have railed against. The Hugo Awards have utterly…

It’s a riff on his suit from the Zdarsky run on Daredevil, and likely a precursor to a final/official costume with the bullseye logo.

Yeah, Carano was just in 7 of the 16 episodes during her two seasons, so definitely a guest appearance sort of thing. Katee Sackhoff might have been bumped up to ‘starring’ role for S3 as she was in every episode, but that’s the only exception I can think of.

I thought Carano wasn’t actually fired, but simply just didn’t get her contract renewed. She was definitely let go between seasons rather than removed from the cast during production, and the official statement from Lucasfilm stated that “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for…

Now I’m disappointed we didn’t get that.

While I could certainly be wrong, I assumed the title was a deliberate attempt at emulating Lone Wolf and Cub, the wandering samurai manga that seemed to inspire (some of) Mando S1. I don’t know if that really works now, as the series turned into just another riff on Clone Wars/Rebels stuff, but I could see that being…

but JJ abrams, who directed that mess, doesn’t get any flak for it.

I remember how excited I was as the pilot episode ended, because it was such a different vibe and seemed to promise we’d be getting to see something really new in the Star Wars universe. And then it turned into Mando just popping up in a bunch of Dave Filoni’s favorite Clone Wars/Rebels callbacks.

I remember when I was twenty, trekking out to Toys R’ Us in a snowstorm, so I could pay $75 for a copy of Shadows of the Empire for the N64. That’s 1996 dollars, so that’s like $150 today. And you know what it is that drove me to do that?

“the overarching majority of people I talked to”
“Most people out in the real world I talked to”
“The vast majority of people I talked to in the real world”

My dude is out there doing more exit polling than the Associated Press.

Giving a scalper two hundred bucks for a fucking thermos...

Gen X gamers are the Boomers of Kotaku at this point.

Huh. I thought the name looked wrong and went to check, didn’t realize she uses an English phonetic spelling as her stage name.
