But what if...

The X-wings are all surplus, not new, and all of the old ones were destroyed in TLJ. Apparently the new ones they sourced with their no money and no backing from anyone were only available in orange and white. I guess JJ did watch TLJ at least long enough to know that their fighters were all toasted.

As for the Ghost,…

While the prequels have problems, they also have a discernible plot that is chiefly their own. The callbacks to the OT are incredibly minimal, and only exist in brief moments of dialogue here and there. JJ’s movies are rife with them. TLJ had a few, but they didn’t distract from the movie at all.

> The Modell sector, which the Endor system is part of, is apparently “rife with hyperspace anomalies” that are responsible for dumping everything from interstellar detritus to even starships in and around the gas giant and its nine primary moons. Those anomalies seemingly also deposited the falling Death Star debris e…

This is why that stupid helmet was reforged. They needed an animatronic Kylo.

While I overall liked TROS, this has all been just a monumental exercise/case study in how not to do franchise films in this day and age.

Of course it is. Because even that needs to be unoriginal. Look, if this were the only pace of fanservice, or one of a few inconsequential ones in the movie it would be fine. But when the entire movie seems to be an exercise in proving that you refuse to do anything new, this is just piling on.

Neither could this guy:

This sounds like she’s basically saying they’re not going to limit themselves to “just” three movies anymore. The temptation to go for a Marvel-style approach of sequels and sub-franchises and crossovers is just too great; even though I think the serial format works best for Star Wars and this will probably just…

Translation: “We’re going full Marvel.”

They’d have to dig around for the original complete outlines for the first couple of trilogies, because they never existed either.

Yes, because we all know how great things turn out when George has a plan.

And they’re going to roll their eyes at crazy grandpa making them read a bunch crap about midichlorians.

Yeah, but his plan was to go all-in on midichlorians.

Mandolorian’s runtimes have been pretty variable; episode 1 was 30 minutes sure, but a couple have been 40+ minutes too. Like Netflix, given there’s no deference to advertisement breaks required, presumably episodes are broadcast at whatever length the directors come back with. IMO, that was a problem with Netflix…

Well, they are doing Moon Knight, who is usually a Marvel Knights characters like Daredevil or Punisher.

While sad, I think the writing was on the wall after Feige took over pretty much all of Marvel. Although he had no problems with Loeb, Loeb’s job was basically defunct, hence why he left (or I guess is staying to oversee the transition before leaving).

Wow no love for Cloak and Dagger in this write up at all

Agents of SHIELD always felt like a piece of the MCU, even if the movies staunchly refused to acknowledge it. Obviously, it had some overlapping characters and events, but it also shared the core style and tone of the MCU, which gave it, and Agent Carter a very MCU feel. But the Netflix shows were always off on their…

Sad but inevitable. Marvel Television seemed like such an ambitious experiment when AOS was first announced, followed by the Netflix shows.
