If it appeared in a movie, for even one frame, it also has a backstory on Wookieepedia. :)

I love this. And I like how they prominently credit the artist. I'm totally down with them staying permanently.
The home page and brand page banners are already up. I ripped them:
And here's the little animation that appears when you go to the brand page:
Ha, kinda looks like Jyn's holding the saber there.
I'm kind of bored of OT stuff, hope we were getting more for TCW Season 7, Mandalorian, and the prequels.
It's fair to say that there are MANY bad Star Wars opinions out there. We all know this. However, today I might have come across the worst SW take ever -

Lol they traced over a Battlefront render rather than use an image from the film for Palpatine.
They did announce a Kamino Clone trooper for the end of the year and Cad Bane is heavily Rumoured. I'd love a new Clone Wars Maul though!

No they didn't, those pictures don't even line up. That shot in the poster is from ROTJ
That episode of CW. Fuck me, so good.
Because having one colour of plastic is cheaper.
Well, he is the Senate after al.
That's pretty nifty.
That's more then she showed up in ep9
Also LF didn't make the poster. They had an artist make a mural for Celebration Chicago last year:No they didn't, those pictures don't even line up. That shot in the poster is from ROTJ

Also when looking for this, the poster used for the Disney+ May the 4th promo isn't new either:

I can respect the part about ANH being the best Star Wars movie, and how it's narrative whiplash going from the destruction of the Death Star to "Actually the Empire is still fine and the Rebels are on the run" at the start of ESB, but then he launches into this weird screed about how ESB taking things from the political to the personal is... a bad thing.
Imagine watching ESB and thinking "Ugh, all this character development and personal drama. When are we going to get back to the politics!?"
He then goes on to blame ESB for Rey Palpatine twist and every other bad evil family reveal in fiction, which gets points for galaxy brain contrarianism, but unfortunately he didn't manage to work in a jab against TLJ so tragically he just misses out on a perfect score in the Star Wars Hot Take event. Folks you hate to see it.
I don't think should that scene should have been in the film.

At least they're not ignoring it is canon, considering Dryden Vos's cameo in Siege of Mandalore.
And then it crescendos in Anakin's Dark Deeds during the Order 66 sequence with bits of it peeking out later when the clones are searching for Ahsoka.
Kiner knows his stuff.

And my 4K Sequel Duology is complete (I swapped the TFA box art from the 4K release with the one from the regular Blu Ray because I like it better and I'm a huge dork about box arts :P).
I mainly took this picture because I was looking at the ratings symbols and had to laugh: TLJ has 'science fiction violence' but TFA has science fiction THEMES and violence. Checkmate, losers who think TLJ has themes! JJ vindicated.
I would've loved Hux as main villain in TROS. I don't think him having comic relief moments in any way undermines his viciousness or competence in causing ills in the world, like you said just look at real life politicians who are regarded as idiots but still wield massive amounts of power in terrible ways. Tilda Swinton talked about the idea of a dictator/clown regarding her approach to Snowpiercer - her character, Mason, was originally written as a kind of mild-mannered male politician until she brought more comedic elements in (timestamped, stop watching at 2:33 if sensitive to Snowpiercer spoilers)
That's a great comparison! Tilda Swinton is flat out ridiculous in Snowpiercer and it doesn't detract from her menace or the power dynamics of her as a villain at all. I never felt that Hux's comedy relief moments took away from the scenes where he is a genuinely threatening player. The scene where he stands above Kylo's unconscious body quietly unholstering his blaster, for instance; Domnhall Gleeson can turn it on and off like a switch. I always love this moment, too, with the shadows turning his eyes into empty black hollows:
btw, this is little off-topic I guess but what a captivating presence Tilda Swinton is, even in a press interview. She's one of those rare actors where I just have to hear her name and I'm interested, no matter what the movie is.
What they did with Hux may have been the laziest, most unimaginative thing about TROS and that's saying something
The funny thing is they replaced him with someone "intimidating"... in line with what some people thought Hux was in TFA.
I just can't appreciate TROS man, seems like such a reactive movie.
The sequence where they roll through Kylo's ship might be the worst sequence in SW history. The way they just blast their way through the troopers without even looking... no tension, nothing. I don't even understand what that sequence even was
Fuck yes. As much as I adore Richard E Grant, that was a stupid, shitty rushed decision.

Low-key one of my favorite things about Star Wars.

Honestly, this is part of the trouble they have in making these movies and shows. I think the ST might have faired better if the last movie tried to be its own thing instead of fan-service.
Hopefully, they continue to diversify stuff with TV until they find the right fit for the movies.
Yes, because I'm sure all the OT cast knew all the character names. Harrison Ford was a big fan of Salacious Crumb.
The Instagram link here has a good look at Rey's lightsaber.
Ah, I see that Jason Ward has been cancelled. I don't know what he's alleged to have done. Probably best not to look into it.
Lot's of 'fuck that guy', 'always a creep' etc on my timeline today. I have not looked into it too much. I first saw it from SteeleWars.
Being a creep. Apparently DM'ing underage girls. At first seemed innocent but then he was being overly nice to them like giving them leaked screens of TROS (the Ben and Rey both with blue sabers against Palpatine is one). Apparently creeping on their Instagram and liking a bunch of pictures. He tried to throw a friend (Corey who has posted a lot of exclusives about the new animated shows) under the bus for that but the friend came out and basically called him out for lying.
Bunch of other shit. Honestly you can go to his twitter and look at his replies and piece it together.
Good on people like Corey and Steele for getting out of that friendship.
Gotcha. Something about that dude always rubbed me the wrong way now that I think on it
