The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (SPOILERS)
« on: December 27, 2019, 08:40 PM »
Does anyone recommend IMAX 3D over standard 3D for ROS? I saw it once already in 3D on a mediocre screen. I have an option of seeing this again tomorrow at a convenient time on IMAX or at a less convenient time in IMAX 3D.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Saw it again today in IMAX which was kick ass...

Night one didn’t hit me as hard emotionally as this viewing did...Han and Leia saving their son and his redemption was so perfectly done I love how all of that played out

I literally had tears in my eyes from the Death Star duel on...And stuff I liked night one I liked even more

John Williams absolutely nailed the score on this...the notes being played during Rey and Rens fight on the Death Star was amazing...as was the main theme swelling as the fleet of nobody’s show up

I still don’t get the First Order ships falling from the sky on Endor and Bespin

My boys and I were talking on the way home, with the Sith gone and Rey and Finn allowed to rebuild the Jedi Order how are they going to set up the new Big Bad(s)?   Yuuzahn Vong type of threat from outside the Galaxy?  I can’t believe this is the end of their stories...and so want to know where they think what they can dream up next.

Just back from my second viewing.

On Endor someone had Holdo-ed through the destroyer there. Someone else commented that local uprisings may have happened in-system in addition to the peoples fleet arriving at Exogol.

The Ghost is present in the party landing for the final celebration. Though, Im surprised we didn't at least see Hera in person.

I think I'm now totally onboard with Palpatine coming back. He's such a bastard it sounds like something he would do. Also, Dark Empire is now almost 30 years old. A resurrected Palpatine and a creepy Sith facility are justa standard part of EU storytelling. Plus... Palpatine-on-a-stick  is cool and creepy. However, I can admit thought that Snoke planning to kill Rey is hard to retcon into this story.

After a second viewing, I enjoyed the film a lot more.  Not a perfect movie, but very enjoyable.

I'm also now convinced Finn is force sensitive and that's what he was going to tell Rey.

I read somewhere that JJ confirmed this at a screenning.  Also confirmed that the opening scene was on Mustafar and the first Sith Wayfinder was in Vader's throne room.

The Visual Dictionary confirms this was Mustafar as well.

7pm showing for us. Like Jeff I have a mixed bag of emotions. Excited to see the film - but sad because the saga is ending. Mostly I’m sad because I was really looking forward to what was supposed to be a Leia-centric story. I’ll probably cry at some point. I’m such a girl.......

Do you still feel that way? They seemed to do a lot with Leia without her real presence on the stage.

Oh well, I guess I was just right about her choosing to adopt a name.

The Vintage Collection / Re: TVC Rogue One Imperial Assault Tank

They had three, and I'm in New Jersey.

Thanks man!

I stopped by A local Five Below with an empty box from the  one TVC tank I own. They confirmed they have not seen them. They also scanned the UPC and confirmed it is in their system with a SKU of 3263381. They said this SKU is the easiest thing to reference if I were to call a store to check inventory.

Its pretty great that an actor is in trouble for dropping baby Yoda. I'm trying to piece together if baby Yoda is the biggest thing ever or if my head is so far inside Star Wars that I don't know the difference.  ???

The 5 Below reports are true!  I just picked up a couple of TVC tanks for $10 each

How many did they have? Also what state are you in?

Last year many 5B stores had pallets of the cases of the A-wings and Canto Biteme speeders.

So, do we all just burn down society if baby Yoda is dead or in serious peril at the end of season 8? It seems only fair.

I thought we saw the Whills in the last season of The Clone Wars cartoon when Yoda went on his spiritual journey to turn into a force ghost.

Although the child is still a baby, he's 50 years old, he's got some rudimentary use in the force and it guides his instincts, but he definitely uses it like someone who is untrained....even though he is fairly strong in the force.

That's true, I forgot about that. Either way, my gut says the race is abnormally powerful. We don't have proof that all are force sensitive, but 3 for 3 being very powerful is pretty significant.

So, given that the Child seems to know the Force instinctively as if any member of species is absurdly powerful... what if the race is revealed to be the Whills?

It took some time, but I was able to cast through my phone to a chromecast plugged into my Vizio TV. Some people are stating this isnt possible.

The Sequel Trilogy / Rey, Raeh, and Rey's real name?
« on: October 30, 2019, 01:15 PM »
I forgot about this factoid from TFA and haven't revisited it since seeing TLJ. The backstory implies that Rey knew the name of the Dosmit Raeh, the female pilot whose helmet Rey found and held on to.

If there is still some reveal about Rey's true heritage, Maybe adopting the name Rey was a choice.

I guess I'm not surprised that the hundreds of millions from Netflix they got lead to this, but its a bummer because it will just be more fodder for the "Disney Star Wars is a train wreck" folks.  Stuff like this happens all the time in Hollywood but for some reason when it happens in Star Wars it's somehow Mickey Mouse or Kathleen Kennedy's fault.   ::)

So what's next?

I'd love for this to re-open the idea of doing a second Solo film with Han and Chewie working for Jabba, running into Boba Fett for the first time, etc.  So much potential there for OT Imperial run-ins and what not.


We can hope. Lets add Greedo in the mix too.
