I've unintentionally prepared myself for this scenario, having wore headgear and masks for long periods of time.
I'm still working, Pizza Delivery is considered essential it seems.
Though things in California, Central Valley anyways, seem to of been the same since this thing happened.
Been a long time since I've been on here. Looks like there's a new Timeline and new people and staff, but I see some familiar faces. Been through a lot this and past year(IE, a complete mental breakdown due to life), but I'm getting a bit better now thanks to all my family and friends.
So...
The trailers did not do this movie anything other then tell us there is a movie about a young Han Solo.
That said, this was the most fun Star Wars prequel we've had. I really enjoyed it and all the characters, old and new. Donald Glover nailed it as Lando. Loved all the smaller references too...
So it's been awhile since this show was talked about, and I binge watched all of Season 4 the other night and I got to say... what are everyone's thoughts on the future of some of these characters, and what the Emperor was trying to do exactly? Among many other things.
I think it ended nicely...
They can afford to get X-Wings and keep them maintained, as well as other ships they had, as well as arm their own soldiers. but not some Y-Wings?
They're still clearly enough of a threat to warrant The First Order's attention, especially after they blew up their base/planet.
I have to categorize them for my favorites.
The Original Trilogy, because none of the ones after "Return of the Jedi have topped these.
1. The Empire Strikes Back
2. Return of the Jedi
3. A New Hope
The Prequel Trilogy, not counting Rogue One.
1. The Phantom Menace
2. Revenge of the Sith
3...
Just a heads up, @shinobi_no_mono, there are no Sith in this movie. Darth Vader and Darth Sidious were the last. Snoke, Kylo Ren and any others that came after are simply wielders of the Dark Side.
Also, if I didn't say it before... I can't remember, but... those bombers have to be without a...
Academy Award Nominated Actor Brandon Rhea. I love how he expresses his emotions into so many little Porglets. I heard how each one, or a lot of them, was actually CGI'd over Puffin Birds due to the filming location.
So I finally finished this series... and I'm wondering if anyone else has or read this? It was a bit more interesting then I thought it was, namely one of the other Jedi that is with Mace Windu.
On the Saturday night "The Last Jedi" premiered, me and my costume group joined the 501st in helping spread the word and entertaining the people with out outfits and some games, which all $5,500 of the donations went to charity.
I am working on my Partisian outfit so far. I love my Deathtrooper...
For the average movie goer, we don't need to go over every character's history. For a Star Wars fan, it's different, or can be.
Phasma, for example... Reading all I did about Phasma in the novel and comic, the only thing it would remotely explain is why she lowers the shields: She's only loyal...
To me, him in "Return of the Jedi" was his Jedi moments, even if he wasn't technically a "Jedi Knight" until the end. From Jabba's Palace, The Sail Barge, the Evok Village, and the Death Star Throne Room. That looked like a Luke who had learned his mistakes from "Empire Strikes Back" and...
I for one was glad for that. I was very satisfied with seeing Luke how he was in this rather then some badass, saber twirling Jedi Master killing Stormtroopers left and right and kicking Kylo's ass.
I said it to some of my friends, who were dissapointed with how Luke was, these are not the same...
I could see him doing that while Kylo is talking to Hux or Phasma's charred armor or just to some soldiers or officers, and Kylo is the only one who can see Luke to the point that the ones he's talking too see he's having issues.
