I suppose they could go with Leia dying being the turning point that begins Ben’s ultimate redemption . . . but dude killed Han Solo! If the plan is to rehash Vader’s reversal at the end of Jedi and Kylo goes good, I don’t know. I just don’t see a way for it to work after we saw Kylo Ren kill Han. I don’t think I can…

His movie made a billion dollars, is one of the best reviewed in the entire franchise, one of the smoothest Lucasfilm productions ever, and has plenty of dedicated fans, and some (VERY noisy) haters.

“Pretty damn far” could also just mean “thrown to another part of Endor that has an ocean on it” though.

I really hope this sells well. This type of game (single player, story-driven, with tons of options for character customization and playstyle) seems to be coming along more rarely these days amidst the annualized titles, battle royals, and looter shooters built around microtransactions, paid DLC and grinding.

Really glad he said this.  I know some people that listen to him who probably need to hear it.  

To be fair though, I don’t think that Clone Wars and Rebels were particularly good their first seasons (in the opinion of this adult Star Wars fan watching a show for kids).

“Great Value Zendaya”

jesus these are all terrible takes, they’re both great shows

“actually, ‘Typeface’ is the name of the guy that made the monster, not the monster itself”

One of the upsides of streaming is that studios now recognize TV content as a long term investment. 

pleeeeease tell me it’s this David Mitchell

 Pretty sure the real question is, could you spend more than 15 minutes around an exact duplicate of yourself without ending up wanting to strangle them?

Two thoughts here:

I don’t understand this business logic. TRU, the OLD TRU, made money. They were profitable. They died because their new owners saddled them with the debt of the damned purchase. Even then, they managed to make their payments for quite a while, until it all became too much.
