Star Wars Sequelosophy

I’m dying to listen to this but am loathe to give Bezos any of my hard earned.

Thank god for free trials.

Screen shot: response to quoted repost now blocked. Response includes Rotten Tomatoes Rise of Skywalker score and comment noting my enjoyment of the film.

After responding in good faith to a post inviting people to comment a movie they love with a poor RT score, I was summarily blocked by the user.

Yes, you have every right to do that, but surely the “safe-space” implied in the invitation is negated by the immediate blocking.

Online culture sucks

Only people who actually know how to watch them. Nothing gets me more irritated in a theatre than the asshole constantly scrolling their messages. Then they get up and whine about how the movie didn’t make sense.

'That Sort of Film Would Bore the Arse Off Me' — Ray Winstone Insists He Doesn't Regret Turning Up Drunk to His Audition With George Lucas for Padmé's Father in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones - IGN Ray Winstone has revealed how he botched an audition for a Star Wars movie because he turned up drunk. But, as you’d expect from the Londoner best known for his "hard man" roles, he has no regrets.

So, Winstone suddenly decided to travel from the UK to Australia, tie one on, then interview for a movie he didn’t want to be in?

I’m sure it makes a great story for his drinking buddies and gormless entertainment journalists, but I call BS.

Would love to see her make a Star Wars movie?

Perhaps following on from where her father left off?

Please note: I know this is not all fans. So many of you out there were heartbroken at the discontinuation of this series.

Still, I think the point is valid. So many Star Wars fans seem to think hating on it is just part of being a fan.

It’s fucking not.

The fans: let me just say it. The Star Wars online fandom is fucking broken. Fucking lads racing to have the best dunk with an awesome “hot take”.

Acknowledged joy must be strictly ironic.

We’re a fandom of edge lords terrified of showing reverence for a franchise about space wizards.

Disney: everything I have leveled at Lucasfilm can also be applied here. As always, rather than stand behind its creatives and studios, or show any faith in its own product, chose once more to react immediately with vague excuses about budget and ratings mere days after the final episode aired.

Lucasfilm: created a great show but had no plan on how they would follow through. They didn’t learn from history or pre-empt an obvious hate campaign festering for months before release. They allowed the social narrative to be framed by the worst voices. They failed their show and its creators.

I’ve been doing a rewatch of The Acolyte and … man, it’s such a fucking shame.

It’s so much better than I even remembered. I have so many thoughts but at present don’t know how to express them.

I’m disappointed with everything about this show EXCEPT the show itself. Lucasfilm, Disney, the fans …

Wait. You watched Titanic on dry land?

Finding that special someone to share your life with and love more and more every single day be like …

I consider myself a huge Simpsons fan and I haven't watched the show since the 1900s.

I just think that's neat.

Ralph Wiggum telling his parents an exaggerated and ridiculous rumour.

“Kathleen Kennedy and Shawn Levy were in the closet making Amy Adams a Jedi and I saw one of the Jedis and Mara Jade looked at me.”

“Be Right Back” is the episode that made me a lifelong BM fan.

Domnhall’s pain (and itching) was worth it 🤣🤣

A lot of people are gonna be whiny bitches about this after a decade of saying they wanted someone to "help map out the franchise."

I think Sequel-era characters can benefit from Dave Filoni's involvement. Plus when this movie was revealed by the trades, it was said he was in the writer's room.

I’m sure the Star Wars online community will take this news with the same consideration and contemplative nuance they have always shown.

I think The Mandalorian & Grogu will serve as a kind of book end to the Star Wars streaming period. While we will still get more Disney+ shows I really think Lucasfilm’s plan is to launch into a new period in 2027 with the 50 year anniversary.

Rey Skywalker

Hey there. I’m from Western Australia and have loved Star Wars since I was given an ESB read-along in 1980.

I love all the Star Wars and can’t wait for the sequel renaissance (which is coming)

Favourites:

Skywalker: Rey
Quip: “Would it help if I got out and pushed?”
Thing: Millennium Falcon

genuinely a really useful thing to learn is that you don't have to get mad just because you picked up on some flaw in something, it can just be a thing you notice

This man really did just decide to go & gift the world the greatest franchise of all-time in 1977, didn’t he?

A legend forever. ✨

Would be nice to have a theater rerelease.

This bit in the article gives me life, I tell you what. When I created Vanth, Olyphant was top of mind for me so to have had him play the role was so wild I still assume I’m hallucinating it.

(Of course then I remember I don’t get anything for it, not even a thank you, so reality again intrudes.)
