The sketch worked because Driver didn't even have to exaggerate Kylo Ren's characterization. He just played the character as-is in the situation, and it was damn funny.

After Apocalypse, she's gone. Besides, the character in the films barely resembles her comic book counterpart at this point, both emotionally and physically (no more blue skin).

He's busy doing American Gods, another project he's absolutely perfect for.

So glad The Martian and Matt Damon won in the Comedy categories. That movie was a laugh riot!

Well, Elfstones is vastly superior to the first book, and it's still widely regarded as one of the best novels Brooks ever wrote. I enjoy the series, and I'm glad they're starting with Book 2. Adapting Sword of Shannara would've drawn the "Tolkien derivative" criticisms even more than the show's already facing.

Jakku kind of gets a pass because you can fill in its backstory with your imagination. All you really need to surmise is that a Rebel Alliance/Empire battle took place there. Not much to it.

The film does kind of a slapdash job of explaining it, but the First Order has basically taken over the part of the galaxy where the film takes place, more or less. They're an occupying army/government that's too entrenched for the Republic to take on directly, so when Leia and the Resistance go off to stop the First…

The thing's probably got a LoJack on it, but since it hadn't been flown in years (probably specifically to keep the LoJack from activating), Han & Chewie never knew where to find it until Rey & Finn took it out into space. The LoJack signal goes off, they lightspeed their way to the Millennium Falcon, and then it's…

That wasn't General Hux he was speaking to, but another First Order officer we'd also previously seen. Which, in a strange way, is kind of perfect: the hierarchy of the First Order is so Nazi-like that you can't tell one of their officers from another.

On the contrary, I kind of bought it, since they'd have to disable the shields in order to allow ships to land on & leave the planet in the first place. If it took an extraordinary amount of effort, no one would ever come or go.

They've already confirmed she'll be in Episode VIII, though. So her lack of screen time here may mean she'll play a more prominent role in the next film.

Wait. I thought it was Mike Huckabee?

Take a look
It's in a book
Reading Rainboooooow!

Lex Luthor did everything but say "you're super, man" to Clark Kent in that scene.

I think it would largely depend on the actor. A male actor who can match Carrie-Anne Moss's gravitas in the role could make it seem just as non-sleazy as she did.

I always wondered why the movie was so much shorter than an episode of the show itself. Now I know. Thanks.

There's a universe-imploding level of irony in talking about football & the oversaturation of Star Wars in the same breath.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's the kid who plays Peter Pan in that insurance commercial, right?

I feel like this is a mnemonic for something.

Damian Wayne, but you were close.
