    Who left Superman for Witcher, tried to get back to Superman and was kicked off to Warhammer 40k. On the bright side for Cavill, he was getting too old for Supes, he was unhappy on Witcher and Warhammer is waiting with open arms. Hollywood maybe a Pinball Machine, but all that matters is where you land.

    I'd counter and say she was mostly a blank slate with potential to have been a great Jedi - if she had not been led by incompetent fools. As for 'lightsabered' i.e. dead, pretty much all of the central Jedi in this series were killed off. Which happened before (a lot!) in spectacular fashion in the prequel trilogy, so we've seen that the Jedi were not covered with plot armor.

    That would explain how Breetai got past them!

    Have to say I don't understand the harsh feelings about Jekki. but that's okay. She was more Jedi than all the other Jedi there. JEKKII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    JEKKI!!!!!

    Pretty good force-perspective work.

    I get that, but if I don't like something, I don't finish it and then watch it again, and still complain that it's not good. As far as I'm concerned, it someone didn't like it the first time but went through it again, they secretly did like it, but don't want to admit it to themselves.😉

    I like one of the reviewers saying it was 'so god-awefully terrible,' but they watched it twice anyway... C'mon!

    Both are perfectly fine for me, but I do prefer 'newer' theme for this teaser. Now, if they use the OG theme in the full trailer...

    I think Hoult can be a pretty good Luthor. He's a good actor. As for the hair, it's part of the disguise. C'mon, someone is going to be thinking, 'look how 'poofy' it is,' rather than thinking, 'hey, if he just removed the glasses...'

    Same here. I don't know how I feel about the actor at the moment, but Gunn hasn't let me down yet.

    Looks cool! Of course, now we need a movie where Chucky inhabits this toy Terminator. Also, who would win, the Terminator or the Hulk Buster in the background?
  13. Thom
    And that's the big problem. There was no set up for it. The entire movie where there should have been foreshadowing for this was TLJ, but our time got wasted at a casino. Literally!
  14. Thom
    Maybe it'll do better there.

    Wait, the Karate Kid is Asian now?!

    If they had built up to it, then it would have really paid off. Instead, having Palpy back (instroduced in the crawl no less!) just came off as a Hail Mary play to try and salvge the story that Rhian unceremonially dumped onto a Dabo Table.

    @sketchley Very nice with popping the deets! Looks twice as big. @Urashiman Those seams line on the canopy bug the heck out of me! Nice work getting rid of it.

    Just because it may take no part in the overall Skywalker Saga doesn't mean it would be a 'nothing burger.' Might be a whole Double Quarter Pounder and two Large Fries with a side of Coke - just at the burger joint on the other side of town. There are many stories that can take place in the Star Wars universe that could be a complete arc and never even touch upon the Sacred Trilogy. Ennealogy..?"

    Just such a classic movie! Thank you Mr Reeve!

    I loved when SE33 was facing off against Lod. He does act all 'the pirate' but when he get's his back up, he's a towering metal intimidator! Then he came back in just to deliver that last 'arh.' LOL!

    @pengbuzz That is a great looking model! If they made that in kit-form, I'd buy one!

    A lot of little eggs (governments) rather than one big egg.

    But they are always there which is saying something. I agree that they are spread 'thin' though, as the largest ship I recall seeing from the NR is just a prison ship and that was 'droid crewed. We could say it is because they are trying to not only grapple with the enormity of the filling the role the Empire did, but also to gather the recourses to do so effectively. They didn't beat the Empire on an equal milaty footing, they took out the head. However, having said that, this takes place 9 years after TRoJ... That lends to that they are taking a far lighter touch than is needed, which will lead into the rise of the First Order. Maybe the New New Republic will do it better..?

    Actually, the fast response time from someone calling about kids in trouble to two top if the line X-Wings showing up is pretty good. Plus, it has a lot to do with repercussions. If anyone crossed the Emperor your planet could (or would) get smacked, but the New Republic,, like the Old Republic, didn't go into that overbearing, super-control mindset. Also take into accounts the vast reaches of the Empire/Republic and the troubles with policing it all. It could be said that the NR had fewer ships than the Empire with which to police everything, which is doubly difficult when every planet is probably beginning to flex the Independence Muscle and might not want to be controlled by anybody. This includes Imperial Remnants and criminal organizations that may then be employing mercenary outfits made up entirely of out of work Storm Troopers. The Empire chose to close that gap with the Death Star and just smacking worlds into raw mining materials, but the softer and gentler New Republic would find that a lot more difficult, especially if they were trying to show that they weren't just going to be another Galacic Empire under a newer, softer name.

    I personally don't mind it, but I understand what you're saying. Becoming a bit canned in their character development, though I see Win as still being a young dreamer who will hopefully mature a bit. And definitely agree on seeing more worlds out there than just the sand-covered ones.😀
