Shredding cloth is definitely expensive, “enormous” is probably relative to how much it was needed in the movie. They only did Hulk shredding out of his shirt via CGI once in Avengers, at the climactic confrontation; when he Hulks out on the Helicarrier it looks like a practical effect touched up and then they cut…

Of the two semi-current modern adaptations, I vastly prefer Elementary, because it actually delves into that addiction and abusive behavior, rather than just use it as window dressing. Sherlock never gets beyond a surface level read on it, then he’s back to being a charmingly-dickish super genius. Elementary’s Holmes…

With safety-caged ladders and plate glass windows though?

I guess what draws me to it is that it’s less just “beauty shot” and more “beauty shot that finally delivers on the original intended characterization”. We saw soooo many Galaxys get wasted, it was thrilling to see one get to play the big damn hero in such an impressive way. Few shots made them feel so utterly massive…

There are several good reasons, which have been expounded upon at length. Until such time as there’s an oversupply of roles for Asian actors, it is definitely more interesting and appropriate to cast an Asian American in the role of “mystical Asian martial arts savior” than it is to cast a white guy because that’s how…

I don’t know what it means that probably the greatest beauty shot the ship ever got was both not the Enterprise, and not even in TNG.

There’s really no reason for him to be white though; it doesn’t really inform the character in any way. All of his tension with Luke Cage is still there if he’s merely ultra-rich, and the tension with Luke Cage is pretty much the only time his race EVER matters. He was written as white in the comics because white is…

His reaction on Geonosis established that that wasn’t the first time he’d lost it.

I can confirm, it’s from your theater; it changes for me depending on which chain I go to, even if the prices are nearly identical, and the rewards cards waive it. Presumably intended to recoup credit card processing fees.

I don’t think it’s a problem for Snoke to have limited backstory; it’s simply not needed for the film at hand, no more than Palpatine’s was. Heroes arise, villains arise. We don’t have to know every detail of their upbringing inside the film, and as the prequels aptly demonstrate, it is very possible to learn too…

It really could! We’ll see how much time skip they choose to go with; with IX in production, I doubt it’d be too long, just because the actors won’t look that much older, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was in the 2-5 year range. That might not be much time for an animated TV show, but I’d be shocked if they didn’t…

Fair, though I would point out that there’s a difference between making stuff up as they go along in a vacuum and directly contradicting themselves. Last Jedi went in a direction we didn’t expect, it didn’t actually change all that much from Force Awakens. We expected Snoke’s identity to matter, and him to continue to…

Not everyone ages the same way. It’s quite possible that they don’t want to use him in a small enough role that he could comfortably do it, because it’d be little more than a distraction.

I can never get enough Lando or Billy Dee, but I think more than the voice appearances in Rebels just might not be possible at this…

My money is on someone Palpatine kept around or knew about, because while he might have talent, was nowhere near cunning enough to overthrow him.  Snoke stepped into a vacuum and took over the Imperial Remnant, got in over his head, and got betrayed, as is the way of dark side megalomaniacs.

Kylo is still out there, but both the Resistance and the First Order have suffered massive blows.  The Supremacy got shredded, and might be a total loss; given that it was an enormous factory ship as well as the flagship, that’s close to on-par with the loss of Starkiller Base.  A time skip where they both spend some…

Somehow I doubt Kathleen Kennedy would approve Johnson ripping it apart, give him an entire trilogy to play in, just to let JJ come back and re-retcon anything back to where he left it.  Besides that, I think he’ll have plenty of fun playing around in the new blank slate Johnson has created for him.

I can see people disliking the sardonic, bitter Old Man Luke angle. That’s the kind of thing that is easily polarizing. But the only thing I can fathom for disliking specifically the ending they gave him is that it’s an ending, and they wanted him around forever. I wholeheartedly disagree with that approach, as him…

Humbling his fallen apprentice and showing up literally the entire First Order military was a trash ending?  Oookay.  That’s a way better ending than continuing to be the deus ex machina for every sequel story, like happened in the EU.

Those were also all rifles or better, whereas in Last Jedi, Rose shoots at her with a pistol.  For the first time we’ve actually seen stormtrooper armor to be effective, I think it’s okay to cut them a break.  I’m sure she was more worried about the Wookiee ripping her arms off anyway.

The frigid northlands where May is home to the last turbulent death throes of winter, and the cold, unpredictable rains that come from that.  It’s not March or April, for sure, but it’s not July either.
