Star Wars discussion (SPOILERS INCLUDED)

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

That's because Star Trek is dumb.

[tifosi77]

This actually got a solid laugh from Mrs Tif.

I had never seen this....this is fantastic.

[nocera]

I remember waiting HOURS for a shitty wmv file to download so I could watch that. Classic stuff

[eddy]

Mando series:

I want a spinoff episode on the tailor making baby Yoda's clothing

[LITT]

I could go with a whole series on baby yoda

[tifosi77]

I had never seen this....this is fantastic.

Shortly after this was made, Lucas created a film festival dedicated to Star Wars fan films and parodies and the like. Iirc Lucas himself presented the producers with an award.

Sith Destroyers?

Under normal conditions, each of those I-class Star Destroyers is crewed by nearly 40,000 officers and enlisted, plus nearly 10k Stormtroopers.

There is a lot of manpower depicted in that image.

[NAN]

I think I'm the only one that doesn't like baby Yoda.

[eddy]

uh oh

[meow]

The "I can bring you in warm. Or I can bring you in cold" line still gives me chills.

[DigitalGypsy66]

Dammit. I have to wait until tonight to watch with the kids.

[eddy]

Dammit. I have to wait until tonight to watch with the kids.

same, dang light up night is having reverse effects for Mando viewing

[Beveridge]

I'm not used to streaming shows yet. Could have watched it this morning and forgot about it.

[eddy]

What an episode.

seeing this everywhere. I guess the lady who did this episode is doing the Obi Wan series

Ep III

When I saw the episode description and then the title, I was like, "Oh no......"

Then I realized the sin' meant sort of the opposite of what I was afraid of, and there was a gaggle of Mandos on jet packs and sht and the day was saved.

And I am more convinced than ever that Pershing is a bigger deal than they are letting on. Could be a red herring, but I think it's significant that, from a storytelling perspective, Mando reclaimed The Asset from him while The Client was nowhere to be seen.

[Dickie Dunn]

The one complaint/missed opportunity that bugs me with the Sequel Trilogy is that they didn't go into these movies with a cohesive story arc to span the trilogy. Story aspects ideas of A New Hope were obviously retconned as Lucas built his world, the Prequel Trilogy had a "cohesive" story arc for that trilogy yet somehow failed at competently tying into the Original Trilogy (plus the terrible execution of the movies), but for as much as I've loved the first two installments of the Sequel Trilogy, it just seems to me that quotes like this shouldn't be a thing:

One moment that Trevorrow didn’t think of when he was developing the film was the idea to bring back the Emperor. He fully credits that to Abrams.

“Bringing back the Emperor was an idea J.J. brought to the table when he came on board,” Trevorrow said. “It’s honestly something I never considered. I commend him for it. This was a tough story to unlock, and he found the key.”

These movies deserved a Kevin Feige type producer.

[Freddy Rumsen]

I agree on that and I think episode 7 will not look as good as time moves on.

Episode 3 of Mandalorian

I could have done without the salute at the end but that's not that big a deal. I agree with what you said Tiff about the client and will be interested to see how long it takes for the season to take the helmet off of Mando because I know that's going to happen.

Also I loved the shot of the Droid that was blowing everything up in the flashbacks.

[tifosi77]

Oh, I think they absolutely had the major story beats for all three movies sorted before they started production on VII. That Palpatine makes a return in IX may not have been the vehicle for the plot point he's pursuing, but I'd wager the plot point itself has been on the table since 2013 or 2014. I'd even go so far as to say that might explain some of the difficulty they've had with certain creatives in the process of making these new movies. (Including the Story movies) Each of the filmmakers were largely free to write their own movies and tell their own stories, provided they hit certain beats and waypoints. That was my understanding of it, anyway.

[Dickie Dunn]

I agree on that and I think episode 7 will not look as good as time moves on.

I think the salute was simply a shout-out to Joe Johnston, who designed Boba Fett and directed The Rocketeer.

[DigitalGypsy66]

Let's be distinctive when noting Mandolorian episodes vs. the Skywalker saga. I thought tif was talking about episode III, Revenge of the Sith.
