That is a great looking plane!

I'd trust JJ a lot more than RJ. RJ can't even write a good chase scene... Case in point, the Radus' escape pods were FTL capable and apparent;y went unseen by the First Order. But not even that, knowing only one ship was tracking them, why didn't the Resistance Fleet just scatter..? My hope, give it to someone else...

Real nice concepts! I really like Rey with the double saber. The longer length would better allow her to leverage strength from both arms against a larger, physically stronger attacker. Also I like the idea of a Jedi using a weapon similar to Maul, esp since a staff technique would be easily adaptable to it. A lot of good ideas shown there, though yes, the execution is most important otherwise all they are, are still just good ideas... For Ben finding his way back, we'd have to use the Force-McGuffin. Perhaps his connection to Rey allowed him to find his way..? IDK. That's just guessing. Or, was the path stable enough that he could remember the way after having been through it once already? A map through a maze shows an established and stable path rather than one that continues to twist and shift from moment to moment. Otherwise the wayfinder would not work unless it was adaptive to the changing environment, which would be nearly impossible. Considering that Poe and the Resistance Fleet followed long enough after Rey went through for the route to have changed beyond any recognition, then I think it was stable enough in the long term for Ben to follow the remembered course. Good enough for me. Read 'Empire from the Ashes' by David Weber. An omnibus of his Mutineer's Moon series. Moon-sized, spherical warships dodging around like fighters. Some of his best work. -

Great looking 'work space.' I am jealous! -
Oh well, in my head it's one taken from the stolen cruiser. It works that way. As for the Militia Fleet finding their way to Exogol, Lando was leading them, as he was present when they found out that Rey was transmitting the way through the 'fire maze.'
-
We don't know though if that was a TIE fighter from the dead Death Star or one from the cruiser the Storm Troopers stole when they deserted. I've seen the movie twice though I haven't looked close enough at the TIE he arrived in to see if it is an OT fighter or an FO fighter... If it came from the stolen cruiser then it does have a hyperdrive and I'll be sticking to that in my head-canon.

That's already an impressive looking ship!
-
I loved that scene! It was Ben reliving that moment and finally making the right choice, and ridding himself of Kylo Ren. I do have to say, up until that moment I wanted him to die! But coupling his transition back to the Light with that of Leia's death was a good idea. Leia sacrificed herself in order to finally reach her son, and I think she gave him an anchor in the Light by doing it. I think that was the reason her body did not disappear until her son's did and that's because she was with him that entire time.

Well, we already had the Empire and then the FO blowing up planets willy-nilly, killing billions in the process. The only thing the bad-guys didn't do was curse while doing it. And then of course is the problem of making your heroes little different from your baddies, and using the context of anything for the 'cause.' It won't take too long before the only way to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys is the colors of their uniforms. I'd be rooting for them to kill each other out and leave everyone else alone.

No prob M8!! Rumor has it they are going about four hundred years earlier, into what they are calling the High Republic era.
-
LOL!! Never really watched those movies, esp after seeing a muscle car flipping a full size bus. Definite high level of suspension of belief. Fun though.
-
I'm sure 1917 is great, but that wouldn't make me like TRoS any less for some reason. Still a good movie for me!
-
It would have been forever-after known as the Festival of Severed Arms! And that would have been great! As it is, I now pay less attention during the Ewok scenes, much the same as with the Canto Bight stuff and the endless chase in TLJ.
-
No argument there. It was very well done! Sad and heroic. Bittersweet. But all the news headlines pictured Gustin's Barry, in that he was the one who vanished and not an alternate. Still hoping they'll surprise us with it finally happening for the season finale. As for the rest, definitely a fun crossover! From looking at the compilation as Ollie was doing the voice-over, I'm assuming that a number of alternate universes are still out there and that only the CW shows were merged. Which I like, it's having the best of both worlds!
-
That was an awesome scene when the two Barry's got to meet. Still bummed that they wimped out of the Flash disappearance that had been hanging over the show almost from the start. They just tossed 90's Flash in as a sacrifice.
-
The missing plot from Ep 8 was squeezed into this one. Definite two movie's worth of material. I'd like to see all three of them again, but if I had to choose then Rey would be the line I'd like to see in another Saga.
-
Yup, still good the second time around. I paid more attention to that part where Ben says 'Dad...' and the emotions written on their faces were very touching.
-
Going to go see it again tomorrow. I loved that whole scene with them fighting on the wreckage, and then Ben talking with his father. Actually seeing Ford as Han again was a surprise to me, esp as I stay away from leaks and BTS news.

I've never watched the anime and don't have much desire to. Did watch the movie and it was alright. Could have been better. As someone coming in still with no expectations of how the characters act and what actions they take, nor where the story is taken, I'll probably like it - unless it's a total crap show. But as stated above, Netflix does pretty dang good with their adaptations, so my trust is in them until they do something to lose it.
-
Sounds good to me. As an example, there was no explanation needed as to how/why a Force-user is able to Force-pull an object. It was just done, and we got Vader slamming Luke with power equipment ripped off the walls. Cool scene.

Is that a mullet?!

I didn't get any creep vibes from Lando's final line. It sounded like the beginning of another journey for those character to help her, and the other deserters, find their families. 1) The signal was to help the Final Order Star Destroyers get out of the planet's atmosphere. Something with the atmosphere or the electromagnetics of the planet itself was futzing with their guidance systems while they were down low. During the attack, the Final Order realized what was happening and turned off the signal from the tower, and Ren's Star Destroyer, which was higher up, took over. Which of course meant they then had to attack that SD with their ground forces. The others shown being destroyed at the end were First Order Star Destroyers, showing that other systems were attacking now. Why they didn't at the end of TLJ..? But it wasn't a self destruct at all. If you recall the one destroyed over Endor, it was taken out with the Haldo Maneuver. 2) For Luke, he was projecting himself not just to another planet, but across star systems, and who knows how many! I'm assuming that takes quite a lot of energy to do and he just over-extended himself. I was very disappointed with that though. I think it would have been so much better if he had gone to the planet and did face Kylo. His death after that just seemed to come out of nowhere. For Leia, it was the same thing. But I think she did more. Kylo was being tempted by the light through all three movies, and I think when Leia contacted him she did more than allow him to feel her death. I think she latched onto him and gave him an anchor in the light. So it was more than simply overextending herself, it was making the choice to sacrifice herself to support her son. And unlike Luke, when she died her body didn't disappear until the moment that Ben's vanished. Which I think supports the theory that she bound them together in order to give him enough strength to stand against the Dark Side. 4) That one, I'm pretty sure, has to do with them being dyads. They were focal points across the Force and I think that allowed them to reach across it. Kylo realized first that they could do it and then so did Rey. 8 ) For that, I think those SDs were actually Imperial Star Destroyers. Especially considering their dated overall design, I think they were simply refurbished there in order to carry the super lasers. As for crews, I would assume skeleton crews for most if not outright automated for the majority. Now, do I think there were far too many, then hell yes! A dozen would have been more believable than a fleet of thousands. And I think one escaped... There was that one Final Order SD that destroyed Kijimi. I don't recall seeing it destroyed.

Hah, I thought it was tonight!! Another week to go...

Interesting. I wonder what they'll do to turn him into the Penguin? Kind of wish they went with a different villain though. Cat Woman. Joker. Penguin. Riddler. Two-Face and others, they've been done. Sometimes not well of course, but he's had other rogues to fight. Also interesting that Reeves wants to keep this out of the JL DCEU and more akin to Nolan's stand-alone series. That I hope doesn't come to pass, as I really want this tied into the WW and AQ and the Flash. Should Flash ever happen...

The Knights of Ren. The (re)rise of Palpatine. Leading story threads to tie TFA and TRoS together. They all fall into the black hole of Ep 8.
