I think people are overthinking Vader’s line in ANH. I took it as he always felt he was under Obi-Wan’s shadow and never got to prove how much more powerful he is now. A student is always a student until they can prove they’re better than their teacher.

Yes, can’t imagine why someone would take a lot of money to work on a franchise that they love and have dreamed about working on. Can’t imagine at all.

Can we not have a bit of imagination rather than going back to the Gunn/Whedon well of geekdom?

Joss whedon.... Lol

He’s perfectly suited for a trilogy because he understands Star Wars far better than the people who cried hard about his film not being whatever the hell they think Star Wars is

Well aren’t you fancy, reading the entire article!

The press release refers specifically to “classic Amblin coming-of-age adventure films of the ’80s,” so that leaves out the R-rated movies.

Theology/Civilization makes me want to run in the middle of nowhere so damn bad.

This movie is blessed with a soundtrack that's better than it has any right to be.

Greatest. Soundtrack. Ever. 

• Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That’s what’s important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do…

Yep.

He used Holst, which is the best classical music!

100% agree. The soundtrack is perfect and really does elevate the movie, taking it from great to all time classic.

Basil Poledouris seems to be underrated as a film score composer. Such great work in the ‘80s. But yeah, Conan has to be my favorite from him. The music plays a huge part in my enjoyment of this sword and sorcery epic.

Agreed! His music really plays such an important part in making the audience immersed in the fantasy and romance of it all.

The soundtrack still slaps.

Counterpoint: it’s fucking annoying when movies do that.

If you pay attention it changes depending on the show/era. For example, the Lego specials the heads are all minifig heads.

Normally I don’t mind the recasting (I don’t mind it here, either) but I feel like Hera Syndulla should be Vanessa Marshall if/when it finally happens.
