That was terrible.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
I thought it was cute. And it address something that no one else brings up in Star Wars. Why does everyone speak every language they come across?
Babel fish.
LOL.. Did anyone read Andy Serkis's interview? Where he basically reveals they kept Snoke's history a secret for a possible prequel.
http://collider.com/star-wars-snoke-...y-andy-serkis/
Of course they could always spin off, but part of me wonders if Serkis is Dan Aykroyding.
The quotes areand
I mean... This doesn't sound like cynical sneaky moneygrubbing sneakytimes or even braggadocio so much as "We wanted Snoke to be mysterious but to inform my performance both directors discussed with me what his backstory might be--and who knows? Disney's going to make a fuckton of these Star Wars things for the foreseeable future and maybe we'll get to use some of it some day!"

That's good.Quoting Morris Schæffer (view post)
There's rumors that third Anthology film will star Obi_Wan and begin filming soon after Episode IX is done. This comes from London's Pinewood Studios being booked immediately after.
Ha, here I thought the Obi-Wan movie was already official with Ewan.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Already on Letterboxd, a number of Solo reviewers haven’t been able to resist getting their digs in about people not liking TLJ enough to their satisfaction:
“Viewers put off by The Last Jedi’s revisionism can rest assured: This one is 100% free of subtext”
(a) Just because something is revisionist doesn’t mean it’s good.
“on a positive note, at least the internet trolls will *lay off THE LAST JEDI for a second”
(b) Yes, we are all trolls. Nice talk.

Trans says he's not a troll, but I had to say his secret name backwards before we could discuss Luke's story arc.
Does trans dislike The Last Jedi? We'll never know.
Sure why not?

Isn't that every Disney film?
73% RT score, lowest RT score for a Star Wars film since Star Wars: Episode II (and 10 points lower than Rogue One)
Sounds like Lucasfilm liked Glover's performance. Lando to get his own spinoff movie.

The exciting thing about a Lando movie is you figure Glover can exert some real pressure who joins the creative team.
Hiro Murai FTW.Quoting Dead & Messed Up (view post)

I'm guessing he's going to be tied up with Wrong Answer and probably Black Panther 2 during the time Lando would be in production.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
I wonder about Kennedy being gunshy on directors after Lord/Miller, Trank, Trevorrow, and Edwards and how that'll affect future anthology hires.

We might have been quick to jump on this.
Update:“Following the publication of our article, Lucasfilm informs us that there would have been a misunderstanding between our journalist and Kathleen Kennedy. ‘We would love to tell a story about Lando Calrissian one day, but it’s not relevant, it would be fun to tell the story of Han and Chewie ...’” A different translation puts that new quote as “We would love to tell a story about Lando Calrissian one day, but this is not news. It would also be fun to tell the story of Han and Chewie.
I mean... okay, but Kennedy, you'd be dumb not to.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but the early word is that Glover steals ever since he's in. So, this.Quoting Dead & Messed Up (view post)
