The Galactic Senate

Happy New Year to all the senators!

May 2021 improve on 2020...

StarWars.com has announced a new Star Wars live-action series starring Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett; Boba Fett is back. And his story is just beginning. As teased in a surprise end-credit sequence following the season finale of The Mandalorian, the legendary bounty hunter’s journey will continue in...

Holy Expletive Deleted! I just saw Episode 8 of Season 2, Chapter 16 "The Rescue," which I presume is the end of season two, and I have to say... That was pretty darned good! It wasn't without its problems (for example: Why do Super Duper Troopers resort to fists? I can think of things we've seen i...

Do we know the time period? Based on the logo I’m guessing ST time period.... It's set "in the future" according to Kennedy (fingers crossed that it'll ignore the ST). EDIT: It was mentioned in the announcement over at the Official Site as well: The story will introduce a new generation of starfigh...

Jane Eyre 1943, B&W, 97, 20th Century Fox, directed by Roger Stevenson. Starring Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine. Weird bit of soapy Gothic, from the Charlotte Brontë novel, which I have not read but assume is likewise Goth-y. Not my usual sort of thing, but it was the least objectionable alternativ...

The director is promising and the movie sounds exciting, despite the scant details! Looking forward to this one!

I really think this should be placed much, much earlier in the timeline.

I also don't think Leslye Headland should be allowed anywhere near Star Wars.

I think it's safe to assume that Johnson's trilogy is dead in the water (and I'm not shedding any tears).

I wasn’t blown away by the story arc in season 7 of TCW, but the trailer got me, Fennec Shand and the holo net announcement of Palpy declaring the first galactic empire. Utter chaos in this period...when’s the show scheduled? They've only said during 2021. The animation looks closer to The Clone Wa...

"The Institute" by Stephen King.

A more satisfying, though quite similar read, compared to "Firestarter".

The first episode of the second season... Wow! If you're not watching the show, get your bum on your couch ASAP!

October 27, 1981: The Soviet Navy Whiskey-class submarine S-363 (known as U 137 in Sweden as the Soviets didn't reveal its designation) ran aground on underwater rocks in a restricted military zone on the south coast of Sweden only 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the main Swedish naval base at Karlskr...

Doc Martin , 3.3, "Love Thy Neighbor." Love that show! :) I've really been surprised by how good it is. I kept seeing it advertised in the "Previews" on another disc set I was watching, and tried it on a lark. Now I have the first six series on the shelf, adding an another series (or two) as I fini...

Doc Martin, 3.3, "Love Thy Neighbor."

Love that show!

I'm currently rewatching the X-Files. I haven't rewatched the series since it originally aired in Sweden. Time hasn't been kind. I loved it back then but now I find it very goofy.

It makes sense to make another animated series while the restrictions of COVID19 are in place. It is a show that can be work on in isolation. Disney need new material to keep people subscribing and delays to live action causes a need to think of other avenues. My concern is them using the same time...

Lucasfilm and Disney are producing (with Dave Filoni as producer) a new animated series, Star Wars: The Bad Batch , that will feature the group from the last season of The Clone Wars for a release in 2021: Today, Disney+ ordered its next animated series from Lucasfilm, Star Wars: The Bad Batch. Fres...

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? Luke was a hero and one of the most senior commanders of the Alliance. He would get away with ...

What happened to Jabba's door?

A totally pointless change intended for the never-released 3D version. The change only introduced continuity errors. The shot is also not static, but it pans.

Wow it’s not?
You will be pleasantly surprised!
Filoni and Faverau clearly prove that Star Wars isn’t dead!

Glad to hear! No, Disney+ won't be available here in Sweden before fall. I haven't heard about a Blu-Ray release either so I guess they're holding out.

"Myten om Jesus" ("The Myth of Jesus") by the late professor Alvar Ellegård. Ellegård posited that Jesus is a mythical character and who was based on the Essene Teacher of Righteousness. I agree that Jesus was a mythical character, but I think the point is largely moot and that Jesus was based on th...

Sorry for the DP... I've been a stark defender of the Special Editions and later changes. However, I can't defend the latest changes made to ROTJ introduced in 2011. The door to Jabba's palace is just dumb and Vader's "Noooo" ruined the scene.

Episode 3 of the third season of "Westworld". So far the series has really gone downhill.

I've watched it thrice on Blu-Ray now. A deeply flawed, unimaginative and hollow movie. Not as bad as "The Last Moof-Milker" (Tesla!) but still very bad. The ST is devoid of imagination. There were many complaints about Lucas's use of CG to create environments, but as long as they're are made well a...

TPM has seen some reevaluation after the ST with some reviewers praising Lucas's worldbuilding (which the ST lacked). I got to admit that I've done so myself.

Breakfast consisting of coffee, one glass of Tropicana juice ("Mandarin Morning") and two sandwiches, one with cheese and one with liver pâté (a popular sandwich topping in Sweden).

It's way too long since I was last here.

It's good to see you around, Momin! Don't be a stranger!

Thanks. And today, it's 18 years since I signed up to this site.

I really should spend some more time around here.

You should!

I haven't seen much of The Mandalorian. Ads, brief clips, some concept art circulating on the web. And who could escape the revoltingly cute Yodaling? And I keep thinking one thing: Lone Wolf and Cub But I don't think I see any Japanese people. Is this some of that "cultural appropriation" stuff I ...

On May 4th 2020, Lucasfilm announced that Taika Waititi is set to direct a new Star Wars movie that will have a theatrical release. Not much is known. StarWars.com And the less that's known about it, the better, given the quality of recent products. Well, I have a good feeling about this. I haven't...

I'm curious Mags. If you say in your first list that it's really a tie between ESB and ROTS, then how does Rogue One split them in the second list (unless it's a three way tie)? I really had to ponder on that question... I really, really like Rogue One . It's the last (and probably only) really gre...
