Re: Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back

Random thought I had while watching this movie the other day: why did Luke not face any consequences for taking one of the Alliance's X-Wings to Dagobah without authorization and then losing it on Bespin?

Re: "The Mandalorian" Live-Action Series (2019)

You're probably right. But I could see them getting to the planet earlier, and then Yoda's people telling him it was the will of the force for him and the child to keep travelling together or something. Idk, could just be wishful thinking on my part. I really wanna see the Yoda home planet.

Re: "The Mandalorian" Live-Action Series (2019)

The Child has a name. Sam Hargrave who is a 2nd unit director on the show has confirmed he knows the name. Speculation is around whether it will be revealed in Season 2. I wonder if it is a name given to him or his name at birth. https://collider.com/the-mandalorian-season-2-action-sam-hargrave-int...

Re: Solo: A Star Wars Story (SPOILERS ALLOWED)

Han and Lando's friendship... I didn't see a friendship there but a rivalry. That certainly affected my viewing experience due to the decades since TESB of thinking of them as long-term friends that went way back. I hear ya, but think about 2 things: 1. This may not be Han and Lando's only interact...

Zapp don't forget that at the end of ANH that Han proves he has a soft spot for helping when he assists Luke in shooting the DS. Emilia sometimes made Qi'ra be a bit too much like Daenerys in attitude and she isn't the mother of dragons here. Val was under-utilised. It is an enjoyable film. That's ...

It was decent. The guy playing Han did a passable job, and Donald Glover was quite good as Lando, I thought.

That's an interesting point of view, Zapp, when you think about it. We've had changes in Bond, Batman, Superman, Obi-Wan, and we've accepted them all for the most part. But yet it seems so much harder with Star Wars. That's a fair point, but I would argue in regards to the first three, there is suc...

Even though TLJ was a big letdown, TFA was still very good. With that said, I think I'm still more looking forward to Episode 9 to see how it all ends. However, I have to say that the (re)-introduction of the Falcon in TFA was one of the most exciting moments in that already exciting film and a tru...

Ok, so they have a couple more months than I thought. But you're probably right about the push back if they re-shoot. I did think it was weird that they had another one coming so soon. Pretty sure all the new movies have come out in December.
