go watch Adam Scott and other people meeting Mark Hamill.
you're right, on paper it's dumb. but when characters like Luke Skywalker evoke reactions like he does in those videos without any sort of prompting, they are special.

Or watch the Mandalorian and pretend these new films don't exist
Not really a fan of The Mandalorian so far, Baby Yoda aside. Incompetent protagonists typically aren't my thing though.

“Mary Sue and her merry band of diversity hires and other losers take down pawpaw nazi patriarchy avatar in a thrilling adventure where nothing happens and your left feeling more empty inside after you saw it than before. Find out what happens when sjw social concerns and your favorite sci movies from your childhood collide to create a mish mash of uninteresting characters while retroactively destroying ones your love.”
And im old enough to remember when the same people ripping on this movie said that if didnt love the last jedi you had to be a russian troll or asset.

don't discount the first Star Wars, it single handedly saved the movie industry with zero hype. not Star Wars fans. not nerd culture. just regular people in the 1970s. it was a massive success. it won academy awards. it was a big deal.
Empire is a work of art, i'll grant you that, but the first film gets overlooked way too often.

Reactions seem mixed. I do get a sense that RoS became convoluted due to the TLJ reaction.

maybe Rian shouldn't have created a main character based on that one annoying bipolar girl who would tolerate him in high school

OT is the only thing that trumps it.

Incompetent is the last thing Mando is.
The show is excellent and the redditors calling it a horrible Saturday morning cartoon are idiots who can't handle episodic storytelling.
It's the Star Wars we should have been getting since 2015.

you can buy the pre-SE OT for $3 total at a thrift store. VHS tapes are still out there, at pretty much every thrift/antique store ever, and usually cost like $1 per tape. you can probably score the PT also.

This is the best part of the service right now. Something like $6 to watch all six movies in the Skywalker Saga, plus some neat fan-fiction they added.
What have they done to the original film’s poster? That’s a different Leia from Drew Struzan’s original Special Edition art and that title...blergh.Yeah.

I thought the first two Nu Trek films were shit that walked itself all over the living room carpet of Roddenberry's ST.
Loved the third one though. Felt like Star Trek again. Yeah yeah, there's about 30 seconds of Sulu meeting his fella and their kid, but whatever, it didn't stick out within the context of the world. Characters were on point and no "magic universe making everything work out for the Star Trek gang" crap going on. It was fun.
Give it a shot expecting an action Star Trek movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, while not making a joke of the idea behind ST itself, and you might just enjoy it.

Speaking of Star Trek what happened to that, is it just dead now and nobody wants to do anything more with it?

Two projects allegedly in development, one that I think keeps the Kelvin timeline going and the other by Quentin Tarantino. Both are kinda in and out of being actually in the works, though.

Oh I will see it some day. I love Trek it has long had many different forms so u can dive in and out at your leisure. Star Wars they are always trying to sell as this monolithic serious myth. SW is linear, ST is nonlinear.
Into Darkness was just so terrible. I love Wrath of Khan and consider it one of the best sci fi films of all so this was like a really lame copy of it with all the fun drained out and intense stupidity added.

Also what was the third one, AStar Gate? I think those were the big 3 space series, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Star Gate, but I swear there was a fourth one.

Babylon 5 was space series for a bit. Battlestar Galactica was another one. I honestly don't recall any other space opera type shows.

I recall there being another Star something movie or show that was popular. I know it was Star Wars, Star Trek, Star Gate, and then Star something else but I can't wrap my head over what it was. Damnit.

I'm pretty bitter about the reports that Disney just botched most of the story from George Lucas. At least they should've kept the main outline of the story intact, but they pretty much changed everything about it.
Wishing someone will make a Lucas version of episode 7-9 in animation form, or comic, or something

I encourage everyone to give that a watch. It’s only three minutes, but you can see how badly George got fleeced with lies and false promises.

And not just him. The fans were deceived too. And why? What did they gain from this? It boggles the mind, all of the bad choices they made...

Ya know what's kinda disgusting about what Kathleen Kennedy has done to Star Wars...she was supposedly so close with Speilberg, worked with him for decades. George Lucas was one of Speilberg's friends for all those decades. Kennedy takes over Lucas's legacy, and fucks it up beyond repair. What an piece of shit person she is if all she cares about is fucking up a man's legacy like that, and forcing it to be something she wanted. Especially when it belonged to someone whom she was close with.

I doubt her intention was to completely fuck up Star Wars. Even Lucas said he had plans for a changed Skywalker.
Disney fucked up by treating Star Wars like Pirates of the Caribbean and not like it’s Marvel properties.
Character development is important and universe continuity is what keeps audiences engaged. And instead of recognizing their mistakes they blame it on IP fatigue which is nonsense.

Yesh that Lucas interview is insane. Right away he says “we have films, we have comics, we have a treasure trove of stories” completely flies in the face of her bold faced lie that they had no source material to work from
Interestingly Chris Terrio was asked if he had read the Lucas drafts and there was a long pause and he diverted to talking about reading rough drafts of the OT he found on the internet. I wonder what the official policy on the Lucas sequel outlines was.

Can’t have source material if you decanonize the entire EU
That was the titanic unimaginably huge fuck up. Entirely throwing out the EU was the stupidest thing they could have done when you have fleshed our character and storylines to easily refine and put on screen. Rewriting and refining stories is far easier than making shit up from scratch. Which is now her excuse for being a failure. That authentic stories are too hard....

I don't know, but this fucking always tells me that she basically had an agenda. She didn't care about what George had done with the series, nor did she have any intention of respecting it.
I'm not gonna say that Star Wars was for men, or that it had to be for men, and to keep my women out of it, but the way they went about it was completely uncalled for and fucked up.
You have a brand that was basically marketed to young boys for decades, and when boys ended up liking Star Wars a lot, why the hell tell them that they are not wanted anymore? It's like if Mattel took Barbie and decided to say we're changing our focus to mostly Ken dolls. It's just weird that what was basically a toy brand pushed towards boys, once bought by Disney started telling boys that they were in the wrong for keeping it away from girls or something. I dunno, it's just a completely fucking stupid situation which wasn't created by the fans at all, if anything, it was the franchise's own marketing that made it seem male dominated.
