  1. Hacked account? Is this even their real account? Early April fools joke?
  2. Anyone else besides me find Dune (in general) to be a bit overrated? All nicely made films, but I'm not impressed by it as most people are.
  3. One idea I always had for a series is a search for the Megaroad that happens not too long after it goes missing. They send a new crew on a new ship. Of course they never find it but are swept away to fight some new threat that can only be defeated by music and love or some crap.
  4. It's a little too late for a movie. What else is there to tell? He grew as a character by putting baby Yoda above his cult's code, did what was best for baby Yoda's welfare, got kick out of his cult, got back in his cult, got back with baby Yoda, defeated the big bad twice and returned his people to their home world. The end.
  5. Pretty sure each of these movies exist in their own alternative universe. That may or may not share the same characters, actors and take place during the same time.
  6. They had a sale on it a couple weeks ago and added more options. I tested the app again looked the same to me. Pretty sh*tty looking heads.
  7. Underwhelming is an appropriate description. They can make a trailer that gets you hyped to see something but the actual product doesn't really keep the casual fans attention. I don't see him taking the kind of risks with the franchise that will get people talking.
  8. Did anyone share this news yet? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/star-wars-vet-dave-filoni-lucasfilm-chief-creative-officer-1235669321/amp/ He's passionate about his work, and a loyal company man but the talent is not there. Or be more exact he seems to play it safe. Guess that's what Disney wants. I like to see the guy wow us all with an original live-action project that doesn't have a built in audience of fanatics.
  9. Since we're talking about Mando again. I'm surprised how most of us didn't see where the direction the show was going to go during the first season. The appeal of this new show was the fact it was a new character, and his stories were set apart from everything else. Didn't have to be concerned about all the continuities to come. You could enjoy it for what it was. That first season ended with the appearance of the Dark Saber from the cartoon. Next 2 seasons brought in Bo Katan and Ahsoka from the cartoon. Then there was the Book of Boba Fett a show that included at the last minute a final duel with Cad Bane from the cartoon. A bad introduction in my opinion. If you followed the cartoon, you'd know his entire history with Fett. If you didn't their scenes just felt odd. Finally, you get Ahsoka. A show that firmly establishes that these live-action shows you've been watching were always part of the cartoon universe. For this show you really did need to be concerned about the continuity from the cartoons to appreciate it. I really miss Mando from season one. When we thought it just its own thing. Set its own little corner of the galaxy dealing with local problems.
  10. The 3rd season is going ruin any good thoughts you have about the 2nd season. Before watching you have to at least watch the last 2 to 3 episodes of The Book of Boba. Which are the actually first episodes of Mandalorian season 3. I don't want to spoil the 3rd season too much but wherever you think the shows is going they just take a step back. Wasn't it good that Mando was exposed to Mandalorians who had a different culture of his own? Wasn't it good that he gave up his helmet? Wasn't it good that he did what was best for baby Yoda? Now with the dark saber is he going to be the one to reunite his people or at least help make his cult less crazy? Is there going to be a rift between him and Bo? Prepare to be disappointed.
  11. When people tell me the cartoons are really good and all of Star Wars need to follow Filoni's lead I think umm... horrible idea. I maybe watched a dozen or so episodes of the cartoons. Some weren't bad but, the rest were mediocre at best. Fans tend to only remember the best parts. The Phantom Menace is an excellent film if you only remember the lightsaber duel at the end. I find some elements and ideas from the cartoons to be terrible. And yet I find them to be perfectly acceptable for a cartoon. The target audience is kids. I can scream all I want about how this will break canon and destroy the message of the entire story, but they need stuff to entertain the kids. Now I see all Filoni's ideas including the ones that should have just stayed in the cartoon world have entered live-action. This comes down to bad writing and direction. Honest Trailers does a good job poking fun at it. Fans who've been watching the cartoons religiously are just too caught up with seeing their beloved characters in the flesh that they fail to see how boring and unlikable they are in this version. These are good actors. Those were charming characters in the cartoons. Here they aren't written that way. Plus, the writing is often just lazy in general. Characters end up making stupid decisions that advances the plot simply because Filoni wouldn't rewrite the script for things to make sense. Makes Ahsoka feel like a waste of time? Like it was all for building up for the movie without giving you that much of a closure for the show you're watching now. You can have a series storyline that takes five seasons to resolve but you still need to have smaller storylines that take a single season to resolve. I can sum Ahsoka up as show with some interesting visuals, bland characters and mediocre writing. A solid C.
