Re: Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (SPOILERS ALLOWED)

It's now canon that Maul survived being sliced in half and falling down a shaft in TPM yet Snoke died from the same thing? With Snoke laying there dead when Hux had aspirations of killing Kylo I reckon it would be difficult to spin it that Snoke somehow survived. That said I would be fine with it tu...

Re: Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (SPOILERS ALLOWED)

First off, Battlefront II is epic. The graphics are top shelf. The gameplay is top shelf. And if you struggle at "ranking" up without spending any additional money out-of-pocket then I suggest a $2000 Nintendo rehash via eBay so that you can kick Bowser's butt again on Mario. My 10-year ol...

Re: Star Wars Episode IX (SPOILERS ALLOWED)

JJ should have just agreed to do the entire sequel trilogy. That way we get three movies per one person's primary vision. Now we have JJ doing TFA and creating a direction, then Johnson doing TLJ and taking the direction of his choosing for those characters/storylines, and now bringing JJ back to co...

Re: Last Movie Watched

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation - B

Entertaining action flick but not as entertaining or good as MI1, MI3 or MI4. MI2 is still bantha fodder though.

Re: Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (SPOILERS ALLOWED)

The Resistance ship being named after General Raddus is pretty cool though. I will add that Rose was an absolutely useless character. No purpose. No point. No logical story arc. Her sister was a more significant character and she was in the movie for 45 seconds. She was basically an intergalactic PE...

Re: Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (SPOILERS ALLOWED)

So after we are lead to believe that Maz accompanied Han, Chewie, and Finn back to the Resistance Base after the First Order destroyed her castle on Takodana in TFA, so that we can accept that Poe would have met her despite zero screen time together, we should also believe that Poe genuinely introdu...

Re: Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (SPOILERS ALLOWED)

While rewatching TFA over the weekend something occurred to me. Everything in Rey's vision when she first touched the saber has already happened, except one. Luke has already fought Vader on Bespin, she was already left on Jakku, Ben had already burned the temple, etc. She then later fought Kylo in ...

Re: Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (SPOILERS ALLOWED)

I also feel that, considering she changed the laws of physics/science/space/temperature/respiration/etc to survive Ackbar's final entrapment, Leia is clearly more powerful in the Force than anticipated. Considering Kylo couldn't fire the shot himself, presumably due to love and respect for her being...

Re: Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (SPOILERS ALLOWED)

Luke told Rey that Ben had killed all the students except for five that he took with him. I assume that is the Knights of Ren, who should take on a larger role in Episode IX, I hope. Not for nothing but we never were given a name to Del Toro's character, and he did have the cheek scars that Ezra has...

Re: Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (SPOILERS ALLOWED)

Initial thoughts are that I really liked it, but am still processing. Spoiler warning, which seems redundant considering this is a spoiler thread, but I will say that, through two movies, Phasma and Snoke were both incredibly under-developed characters. Phasma, ok, but will we ever find out who Snok...

Kapit, I'm interested to hear your thoughts, story wise, once you have finished the campaign.

Battlefront II

Thoughts? Great multiplayer, the maps are amazing. The campaign was awesome, with a few playables I didn't expect. And did the Discoveries level hint at a big spoiler regarding the Sequel trilogy? What's funny is I mentioned this to my daughter about halfway through the campaign, more as a what if i...

Re: Star Wars Episode VIII (SPOILERS ALLOWED)

Anyone else think the shot of Phasma and the troopers walking through the debris is after the hangar explosion with Poe and BB-8? Could mirror "Imperial Troops have entered the base......" from Empire.

Re: Star Wars Episode VIII (SPOILERS ALLOWED)

So if that shot of Luke and R2 looking at the fire is from Rey's vision in TFA then is that scene a flashback to Kylo and the Gang killing the new Jedi, as was assumed, or was that part of Rey's vision into the future?

Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

I've watched Rogue One a few times post digital purchase now, and I feel I have a new question; If Krennic ordered all the original Death Star techs killed, and then Galen is killed in the ensuing Rebel strike, and then the Death Star destorys Scarif with the original Death Star plans that Jyn trans...

I had forgotten that they were Rogue squadron in Empire. Good info everyone. I agree that it works best as an unspoken nod to the Scarif Bandits.

Re: Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back

Ok, perfect venue for this question.Obviously Bodhi identifies them as "Rogue One" in the movie as they are violating orders to leave Yavin 4. Since Han was told the speeders weren't adapted to the cold on Hoth do we assume that the pilot searching for them the following morning, i.e. Rogu...

Re: Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith

I still say Padme being Mon Mothma would have been a stretch, considering the OT, but better than that whole "died from a broken heart"/"Noooooooooo" BS we were spoon fed instead.
