The Filoniverse continues to impress

But remember.... “That’s how were gonna win, not fighting what we hate, but saving what we love”

As the show’s gotten so dark, it’s a little weird having it be on a kid-tv station — after a really heavy scene, we cut to bunch of hyper, neon toy commercials!

I need a hug.

“Sir! We’re detecting a massive object emerging from hyperspace!” says one of Admiral Raddus’s subordinates, immediately before cutting to the Death Star appearing over the limb of Scarif. No secondary sources needed; the Death Star canonically can travel through hyperspace.

Not on topic at all, but we keep making redneck/hillbilly jokes about his supporters when a lot (maybe even most?) of them aren’t that. They’re educated. Our CEOs and VPs, and those privileged kids that went to the “best” schools. It’s not just people missing teeth in Kentucky, it’s people that knew exactly who they…

He coulda just walked out as Vader, then takes the helmet off and smiles. That woulda really pissed Kylo off.

I envy people who get this feeling from The Last Jedi. I see it as even more retrogressive then TFA. Killing the past is not a bold move forward when the direction is more or less the same. I have zero hopes for Episode IX to change the course, but I think Johnson’s own trilogy will be a bit more deviant.

I hate everything that other people like too. Other people are just the worst. As soon as I hear other people like something, I know I’m going to hate it.

They also set that up saying he used to target womp rats about the same size and was already a pilot. so...

Luke Skywalker destroyed the Death Star his first time in an X-Wing.  So....

It’s just as you say. The movie sucked in ways many video games do because the movie was made the same (wrong) way those games are: end to beginning and bullet-point driven.

There’s a delicious irony in the fact that games have for years tried to catch up to movies as a storytelling medium, usually falling short to the point where truly well-executed game stories (Final Fantasy VI, Fallout New Vegas, The Witcher 3) stand out precisely because they’re so far above the minimum standard,…

I might have enjoyed Finn & Rose’s story if the codebreaker they had been sent to find had turned out to be Lando.

I get what the director was trying to do, but the problem is that he did it at the expense of established characterization and common logic.

I was out as soon as Leia woke up and started flying through space like Iron Man. This movie sucks, it has a few cool visuals and that’s about it.

The moment Admiral Holdo turn the ship around and cut Snoke’s cruiser in two with a hyperdrive jump is where the movie jumped the shark. What, nobody thought about doing that in the first place? Dude, that could have saved a hell of a time and potentially winning the war if they get lucky enough to kill every First…

Uh, no. The best analog to the Falcon is clearly the PBY Catalina. Modest multirole interior space, small crew, side turrets, and a reputation for going anywhere and doing anything.

Got to be careful about HDR though - it varies widely between models, and definitely won’t impress as much on cheaper ones, if at all.

I am clickSucka and I approve this click bait
