I promised my daughter I'd take her to the next one. I can't possibly afford taking the 2 of us to Japan.

You have two years to save. She can put off college until she's 20

You can do Japan on a budget. Watch the flights and jump on cheap ones.

I just realized that when the next Star Wars movie comes out, I'm going to be as old as my dad was when The Phantom Menace came out.

I like to send this to my brother when he says he's too tired to come play disc golf with me on the weekend.

Timestamped to a hilarious story from Andy Serkis about the first night the TFA cast got together for dinner.

I recommend checking out at whole panel btw. Very cool, in-depth, and insightful. Go to the "Villains of the Sequel Trilogy" chapter marked on the timestamps.

Which is worse? Vader's "nooo" or Poe's "somehow, Palpatine returned"

The opening crawls should be left to the Skywalker saga entries and that's it. The idea is something Lucas got from an old, black-and-white film from back in the day, and there is zero reason for it to continue to be used in the post-TROS era. It's also a crutch, narratively speaking. If you think your story needs an expositional download dump to the open the movie, you're either wrong or telling your story poorly…

should have a 15 second TikTok clip instead of the scroll.

The crawl will double up on fan service by starting with, "I have a bad feeling about this."

Ranger fans you're not dreaming! The Rangers are the World Series Champions!

To be fair to Poe, how else would you deliver that line?

Also, this seems relevant:

It would be hilarious if they retcon it again back to her being a "nobody."

Though, I guess the Palpatine of it all is a possible reason for her not to be trusted, and thus… drama/friction. But it was stupid and no one liked it so I can't see them really embracing that aspect, but who knows.

Given that it was 32 years after the originals, I always thought most of those people should have been like, "Who the hell is Palpatine?"

It's like someone telling the youth of today, "Somehow, Michael Dukakis has returned". ANd yes, I'm comparing Dukakis to the Emperor, visitors from F16, please flame away.

Really? I think it'd be more like "Hey guys, Hitler's back, somehow"? People would get it.

Exactly. Isn't it common knowledge in-universe that Senator Palapatine became the Emperor, aka Star Wars Hitler?

This is a purposefully terrible analogy, yes?

Remember that time Palpatine did a campaign spot for his Imperial Senate run and gave a point to the camera from an ATAT?

I feel like most people would laugh their ass off if their leader went from wanting to be called Chancellor Palpatine to "The Emperor". He'd be the biggest meme ever.

The prologue in Solo was a good compromise. Allowed the stage to be set very clearly without the scroll.

Or they embrace it.. she struggles with who she is and is heavily tempted by the dark side. Add in a group of Jedi (or close to it) that don't trust her and want to kill her because she's a palpatine.

Yeah, there's no putting the toothpaste back in the tube, so I guess it's probably best to just embrace and squeeze as much drama out of it as possible. As stupid as the initial decision was.

Hopefully, they are successful and when the lead Jedi takes his mask off it's Finn.

They're definitely not retconning the Palps clone storyline as both Bad Batch and Mando are currently expanding/exploring it.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if either/both ending up leading us to Rey.

Was a good plot twist in one of the books when a Senator revealed Leia was Vaders daughter and it destroyed her political career.

She IS a Skywalker... she said so... and she could see force ghost Luke and Leia who nodded in approval
