I'm sorry, we are applauding welcoming back an actor whose performance through the PT was only marginally more palatable than the absolute worst Star Wars villain of all time (whiney AF-on the verge of crying at all times-millennial) Kylo Ren?

I guess I'll show myself out…

He was terrible, no doubt. Like, truly horrendous, and one of the things I dislike the most about the PT trilogy.

That said… 16 years later - wiser, with more maturity/experience - and no Lucas dialogue/direction, I'm cautiously optimistic that Christensen comes back strong. I also seriously doubt Christensen himself is in either series much. Maybe only one or two scenes per series sans helmet, if that. And then he may or may not even be in the suit, and he certainly won't be providing Vader's voice. So I doubt the filmmakers are pinning much on him at all.

Wow. Hayden getting all kinds of play. Honestly, it's pretty cool seeing him get a second chance at the character like this (between Obi-Wan and Ahsoka).
Very much this. And with better writing than what he was given in the prequels, hopefully

I'm personally kind of hoping for a Haydon redemption here. And it shouldn't be all that challenging. All you really have to do is portray him as Clone Wars Annakin vs Teen Angst Annakin and we should be go.

Maybe something is wrong with me here, but I think Kylo is the lone bright spot from the sequel trilogy.

The fact that Lucas found a way to f up Vader with the "Noooooooo" line proves to me who is at fault.

The bright spot of the sequel trilogy was the original teaser trailer

You could bring Jar Jar back and I would trust Favreau and Filoni to do right by him

If doing right by him means killing him off in a horrific way, then I'm on board.

The new crew made the Clone Wars scary and have weight in those scenes when Mando is a baby. Real directors with real-life cred can pull something out of HC.

What will be really weird is HC and Rosario Dawson doing dialogue together of two characters who interacted with each other only as cartoons voiced by other actors.

not to try and derail but has anyone on this thread played jedi: fallen order? i know im late to the party on it but went ahead and got this game for my birthday. really taking my time on it but loving the atmosphere and story so far and the motion capture and acting by the guy doing Cal is really good so far.

please no spoilers but curious to hear feedback from those that have played it and if it was a good experience.

I enjoyed it. And it's canon as well.

So instead of drivers wearing brown shorts, it's now brown robes with hoods.

Yeah, Fallen Order was a lot of fun. And the ending was incredibly epic.

Solid game. Story and environments were super well done, and I loved having the lightsaber reflect be an actual button press and timing mechanic (feel like that's always been a bit glossed over in jedi games). Also like the creative approach they had to establishing the need for a skill tree and him building his power along the way.

I was not a huge fan of the boss battles - lightsaber duels aren't something that games have really figured out yet. Wouldn't mind seeing them put in something similar to the duels in Ghosts of Tsushima for the sequel, I feel like that game had some of the best sword fights I've ever seen in a game. I also felt that there were a bunch of platforming segments (not all of them, and I don't mind them in general) that felt super clunky and frustrating, hopefully something they fix in the sequel as well.

Sweet. I'm also committed to playing on Jedi master difficulty and finally getting confidence on parrying attacks

what wunderkind thought it would be a good idea to adorn UPS trucks as sandcrawlers. As if they are not slow enough already, now they are celebrating it.

For enough money, they'd be rolling around in trucks with NAMBLA flags flying.

Btw, it's kind of crazy that THREE Star Wars series are completely done filming (The Book of Boba Fett, Andor, and Obi-Wan Kenobi), with one currently in the middle of filming (The Mandalorian season three), yet the only footage we've seen from any of them are some brief snippets from a behind-the-scenes Andor featurette months and months ago. I'm honestly shocked we still don't have a trailer for The Book of Boba Fett, as that's only two months away. Feels like the calm before the storm...


Good call.

Just got an email about Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser bookings opening.

I've always wondered how the Fetts came to dominate the criminal underworld. I get that they're ruthless and rich, but you'd think back in the beginning one of them would have had to show some sort of actual physical threat to establish that reputation and fear and gain the funds to buy their muscle/enforcers. And I just can't see how that works.

I believe this is from the EU/Legends books, but didn't the Hutt's have access or control to secret hyperspace routes that allowed them to be the preeminent smugglers in the galaxy?

LIke they were the only ones who knew how to navigate them or they controlled access to them with their private armies?
