The Galactic Senate

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...

After having watched TROS on Blu-Ray twice now, I feel I must revise my ranking and there's also a SW movie I think deserves more credit. Saga movies 1. The Empire Strikes Back 2. Revenge of the Sith (it's really a tie between TESB and ROTS) 3. A New Hope 4. Attack of the Clones 5. Return of the Jed...

Sorry for being late... Happy Belated Star Wars Day!

Better late than never... All theatrical movies 1. The Empire Strikes Back 2. Rogue One 3. A New Hope 4. Revenge of the Sith 5. Return of the Jedi 6. Attack of the Clones 7. The Phantom Menace 8. The Force Awakens 9. Solo 10. The Last Jedi 11. I suspect TRoS will go here.... Annnnnd I was right abo...

I got home from work last night to find TRoS Blu-ray on my kitchen table. So happy my wife got me a new coaster to protect my wood table from condensation rings!

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Not bad but not great. I'm still mad that Trevorrow's and Connelly's draft wasn't further developed and used for IX and with that in mind...

There is now a delay in this series as they search for a new writer / new scripts (a familar problem with SW now). Also the series appears to have been shorten from 6 to 4 episodes. Shooting is reportedly now January 2021. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/obi-wan-kenobi-series-hold-as-...

I’m seeing rumors of a JJ cut of TRoS that’s 3 hours long. Has anyone else heard of this.

Yes, most likely not true.

Since this is no longer a thing, I'm closing this thread (and subforum).

I’m taking my son on his birthday (Jan 11) with some friends from school. I find the negative reviews from RT very interesting! Seems JJ undid many of the problems that Rian Johnson created, and the shills aren’t pleased with that. Does this installment help reunite the fandom? "Shills"? TLJ was aw...

Jar Jar Abrams and Terrio speaks from their behind. There wad NEVER a conflict between the House of Skywalker and the House of Palpatine in Star Wars and there never WAS a House of Palpatine in the movies to begin with! I thought this was Star Wars, not Game of Thrones!

Yes, the X-Wing, the wing of which is actually the door to Luke's hut. And it's been sitting in the water for years and Jar Jar Abrams copies TESB He copies a lot more, and I like that nostalgia. We heard, "This door is locked, move onto the next one" and "What's your operating number". It was the ...

I also liked seeing Luke's X-wing, but my biggest disappointment was Rey wearing a New Republic helmet. It wasn't Luke's old Rebel helmet, but I am sure that one was long gone. And what the hell was up with throwing Dominic Monaghan in there? I was waiting for him to say, "Not Penny's Starship!!" Y...

*MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS* So I did something I didn't expect myself. I took the commuter train to Stockholm to watch " The Rise of Skywalker " or, as I like to call it, " The Rise of MacGuffins and Gimmicks at a daytime showing. I must admit that I enjoyed TROS more than I think I would have and it ...
