Then skip it, friend. If you’re not in a good place to waste some brain on flighty gossip that’s ok; avoid it. For some, flighty gossip roundups are an important piece of maintaining equilibrium in trying circumstances.

Trapped forever in a ship. Endlessly screaming as she see droids being used as slaves all over the galaxy. And she can do nothing about it. Just obey her masters when they decide where to go.

I’ll respect someone standing up for their beliefs right up to the point where their belief is that an entire group of people that can’t change who they are is somehow less. “I don’t hate gays, I just don’t think they should get married and I won’t play soccer while wearing a jersey that celebrates them as people” is…

DannyK is getting some “if you only watch the movies, then it’s your own fault” type responses - and I say BS to that.

I was only disappointed in the Maul cameo because at the end he needlessly force grabbed and fired up his light saber. I actually thought this might be the first SW movie without any force usage or light sabers.

Nu-EU as canon is not the problem. Blaming the audience for not being “in the know” is not only wrong, it’s bad business. The fans like me that read the comics and watch the cartoons (and play the games and tabletop rpg...) are far fewer in number than the general viewing audience that Disney needs in order to keep…

I was in the same boat as you but when I watch Star Wars Rebels. No idea they’d brought Maul back to life. It seemed like such a stupid idea given how he died. I had to go online and do some reading to find out that yes, Darth Maul was still alive.

I still think this box office mess is because when they released it. Right after Avengers and Deadpool and only 5 months after TLJ. They should have just released it in December with no competition and it would have done fine. This is all Disney’s fault. I actually enjoyed this movie a lot just wish they planned this…

This cameo was thunderously stupid, like all of the callbacks in the movie. He’s got to turn on his double-bladed light saber because...why? Just for the Member Berries. So people can squee and say “Oooh, Darth Maul!!”

Yeah, the appearance goes beyond easter egg in my opinion. If items are included in the film as a reward to fans of EU lore and don’t register as a blip on the radar to film-only fans (like the General Syndulla call out in Rogue One), that’s one thing, but when it makes the viewer feel like the EU knowledge is…

Oh god.

Bringing Darth Maul back, no matter who cool he was, was the dumbest thing ever. Seriously. Is anyone dead if he lived? No. Absolutely ridiculous lazy writing that never should have happened.

As a Star Wars fan i have to say.. i was just baffled by his appearance. But not in a good way.
I never watched the Animated series and didn’t know about his “expanded” story and leaving the theater (and googleing Darth Maul) i was just confused about timelines.

Yes it was a nice cameo for the People who watched the…

His defining trait was the same as Boba Fett’s, he looked cool.

This twist really, really bugged me. Darth Maul is a cool character design, but, as he is established in Episode One, he—like basically all characters in the prequels—has absolutely no personality. His defining attribute is “evil.” I really liked how The Last Jedi fought against the idea that everything has to be…

I assume you meant it better than Eps VII and VIII* to which I say:

It was odd that from the opening scene its kinda assumed Han’s like a Dickens’ orphan working for a crime boss, then later he starts talking about his dad.

Of all the goofy-ass things that could have happened in Solo this is without a doubt one of them.

Am I the only one who really liked the wedding dress? It was clean, modern, no freaking lace in sight, looked gorgeous to the touch, and appropriate for the occasion without being stodgy. Yeah, the night-time reception dress is cooler in all ways, and I’d rather wear it if I had a zillion dollars and a fancy party to…

“Not providing a back story for your villain (and constantly creating baited detours for what it may be) makes the villain more mysterious and threatening.” That was what I always thought was the best part about The Joker as a character. He doesn’t need a backstory. He’s inexplicable, a creature who can’t be…
