Ha, yes. That's the ONLY part I disagreed with. This franchise/galaxy has so much potential if they'd actually take some chances. The Mandalorian at least seems to be the first real test case in that regard...Render said:
TC, did you notice Mike and Rich say that SW is a limited franchise, and was not built for longevity? "It was a fairy tale. They told the story. It was done 40 years ago." Not to beat a dead horse, but I said that EXACT same thing months ago and you very much disagreed with me. (Although tbf I was being a dick at the time). Just saying. I got Mike and Rich on my side, now lol.

More specifically, both on Mondays, both on ESPN during Monday Night Football.
Monday, October 07, 2019 = Browns @ 49ers
Monday, October 14, 2019 = Lions @ Packers
Monday, October 21, 2019 = Patriots @ Jets
With the San Francisco/Lucasfilm connection, my money is on the night of October 7, at halftime of Browns/49ers.
well,....except one is the best movie in the franchise and the other the worst....TCTTS said:
I think it'll be different enough. But the broad beats of TFA matched ANH, and the broad beats of TLJ matched TESB. So there's no reason not to expect that the broad beats of TROS will likely match ROTJ.
All I can find is it had some AT-ATs on what at first glance appeared to be a snow planet but turned out to be a salt planet.agracer said:well,....except one is the best movie in the franchise and the other the worst....TCTTS said:

The more I think about this, the more I think that they're going to just go with what Johnson handed them. If the leaks and theories we've seen turn out to be correct, there's already so much they're going to cram into this movie I would think it would be too much to also retcon Johnson's lineage story.Cinco Ranch Aggie said:I remain unconvinced.Quote:
