Oddly enough I think I remember my dad talking about that article because I know we saw it opening day Friday and us having a conversation about it before we saw it.

I personally never read the article that Ron is referring to…but for those that did…was the criticism fair?

Article is still out there.

KOTOR 1 and 2 bundle for Switch on sale for $13.50. Anyone know if the port to Switch is decent?

https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-bundle-switch/

For $13.50, I'll give it a shot.

Yep.

The KOTOR port is apparently pretty good.

The KOTOR 2 port was a nightmare at launch, and I believe still has a gamebreaking bug that isn't getting patched out

Got my "Estar Guars" shirt on, ready to go watch TPM.

wanna let y'all know....this is SPECULATION...and this video makes that very clear....

but i do listen to WDW Pro and never post any of it here mainly because if someone is interested with all the different disney, marvel, and other topics they touch on like we are it would be divisive....

but this one was too big for me to avoid posting here.....

for those that don't want to watch the video...this guy has sources inside disney (and before you roll your eyes he's been right on stuff in the past for what's coming)...but SUPPOSEDLY the reason why the mandalorian movie got pushed back was due to it having luke skywalker in it quite a bit and them not knowing if 2025 would be enough time to do all the post production necessary to de-age...

again...speculation and even if this source is 100% right things could still change as the movie isn't even being made yet....but holy crap if that's true..........

holy....crap.....

but we'll see......

I haven't watched the video yet (definitely will later today), but yeah, a younger Luke being in the Mando movie would finally at least make sense of the insanely long post-production schedule, considering it's rumored to shoot later this year but won't release until May 2026. Luke is also about the only thing I can think of that would make this truly theater-worthy for "normies" as well. That said, I really hope the tech has continued to advance, because Luke's last two appearances were pretty damn iffy, visually speaking.

Thankfully, this is releasing this year and won't be a 2025 release. Can't wait...

Really no need to actually "watch" it most of his are just dialogue with other commentators chiming in....every once in a while he'll have a video with some charts or figures...headline articles things like that but even then most of the time i just have it playing in the background while im doing other stuff.

Alright that Acolyte sneak peek wasn't half bad.

A special mid-credit scene. A lightsaber duel of the ages broke out after our screening of George Lucas' Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace at @AMCTheatres Empire 25 in @TimesSquareNYC. This is the true duel of the fates. Big ups to these two for the performance. @starwars pic.twitter.com/4TgDtuXzps

Just cast someone else in the role

That's what I've always advocated for. Specifically, Sebastian Stan. Unfortunately, Solo scared the sh*t out of Disney/Lucasfilm, and because execs almost always learn the wrong lessons, they'll likely never cast any other actor in a major "legacy" role like that again. Instead, we'll keep getting the uncanny valley until tech finally bridges the gap. It got closer with Harrison Ford last summer but it's still not there, IMO. Maybe in another year or two it will be.

Remember when KFC, Pizza Hut AND Taco Bell all wanted to get in on Phantom Menace promotion together, and the ads had the epic team-up of Col. Sanders, the Taco Bell dog, and...Pizza Hut didn't really have a mascot so fuck it random pizza delivery gal?https://t.co/pMzNKaOqcx
