Billy "The Space D" Williams uncucked himself faster than The Nerd.

I just finished watching this week's Mandalorian. I'm getting the western vibe for sure. Feels like Wanted: Dead or Alive and Cheyenne a bit.

This week was a fun episode but the space battle effects weren't the best.

I still have a lot of hope for the show and hope it leads somewhere good rather than getting the ol' snippity snip from SJW crap.

Here comes a totally unbiased fact-checker ready to check your ass with well-researched truth.

I love how he tells you to just disregard everything you've heard and research the issue "with an open mind", like that totally doesn't say, "Look she's not that bad, she was on all these great movies over the decades. How could you pin Star Wars failing on her? It's just not logical."

Oh I missed that one:

"I strongly disagree with your reasoning."

 

[PseudoScrooge]

Don't forget about Admiral Ackbar himself, Timothy D Rose:

I had the honor of spending a lot of time talking to Tim Rose at a local convention last year, and I felt like we could've talked all day! What a great guy. I was too disgusted to ask any questions about VIII, but we did talk about TFA a lot because he was describing all the differences in the new & old costumes to me. (The new headpiece had 36 servo-motoros buzzing the whole time he is trying to hear and see, out of the nostril!) This lead to an interesting story about what an ass Abrams is:

Originally, Ackbar's introduction was going to go like this: when Finn is brought to the Resistance base, Leia was to storm over angrily, saying "why did they bring him here, all he had to do was tell his friends where the base was". At this point, a 6 foot, 7 inch Ackbar was revealed, towering over them, and extending his hand ("everyone was little; Carrie was little, Boyega is little..." he said.)

One reason it probably wasn't used was that there was a loud "CUT!" followed by somebody stomping over toward them. Rose said he peered out of the nostril-hole, only to see "it was the director...I wonder what he wants?" It was an angry Jar Jar, growling "you keep missing your cue!" Rose said he kindly tried to explain to Abrams that he could hear and see nothing, but he wasn't listening. "He just did NOT like me," he said, and gave me an even better example:

At the end of filming, all of the actors lined up to shake hands with the director, which I guess is customary. Everyone was in full costume, and Abrams went down the line and skipped right by Rose, whose hand was out. Rose wasn't having it. When the line broke up, he circled around the set, and came back in front of Abrams, again putting his large Ackbar hand out once more..........and Abrams turned and went the other way, AGAIN (wow). Finally, he actually followed Abrams outside the building, and somehow got in front of him a third time...this time, Abrams took his hand!

He's nicer than me...I would've lobster bitch-slapped him at that point.

I'm willing to bet that those sorts of interactions are common behind the scenes. Jonson seems like an ass as well.

Wow, thanks for sharing that. This reminds me of when JJ recently said something about TFA being worse in terms of reshoots than The Rape of Skywalker, but I'm not sure if I believe that. I do know that because of Iger and Kennedy, JJ was under a time crunch to produce TFA & he wasn't friendly with the Lucasfilm Story Group, so maybe he was taking out some of his frustration on Tim for whatever reason. Still doesn't excuse being a disrespectful prick.

 

[Jaimas]

I'm still not buying the "The re-shoots cost 300 Million" bullshit. You could make 2 AAA-tier movies with that budget and still have spare change for hookers and blow.
I'm not an expert on these matters, but I doubt that this movie somehow ballooned to half a billion dollars due to reshoots alone.

Count marketing and Solo cost that much.

This is poised to be a much bigger train-wreck.

Found the highlight reel of the EFAP takedown of that video last night.

 

[Lodoss Warrior]

That really only leaves Ian McDiarmid/Palpatine and Frank Oz/Yoda (Peter Mayhew/Chewie is no longer with us, so he can't say anything). Who liked this trilogy?

Can't say anything about Oz, but McDiarmid's opinion should be easy enough to infer. He's a private man, but let's look at his reactions and briefings about the Prequels and RotJ.

It's clear he loved working in the OT and PT. He's not the kind of guy who schedules interviews willy-nilly, but whenever he does, he's open about how engaged he felt when playing Sidious. For a Shakespearean actor, to see him effectively fanboy over a character says something about how much the role meant for him.

So, how do you think he should act if he got paid big money to play one of his favorite roles one last time? Why, he should be metaphorically tripping over himself, more than happy to express, in his own muted way, how excited he is to see this final act come to fruition! Lucas gave him a script where he fights a green midget with a glowing baton, and he had the time of his life acting it. Anything half-way decent should make him visibly enthusiastic.

What's his actual reaction? Dead silence.

 

[Miller]

Defensive....klingons....defense to a klingon is "Is the other guy dead? Good I can drink blood wine and Fuck"

Exactly, the whole philosophy behind the original design is that it's made to kill the guy who is facing you, not to "protect yourself" from him.

 

[Poe-Shen Zcela]

Found the highlight reel of the EFAP takedown of that video last night.

Good god, I forgot that was the same memey video that gave birth to "the Toxic Brood".

The "chasing the waitress down an alley with a knife" part gets me. It's like they don't actually understand what they're saying, they're just trying to convey this boogeyman notion and end up overselling it, making them a perfect target for EFAP.

John Boyega on if He’ll Do More ‘Star Wars’: ‘You Ain’t Going to Disney Plus Me!’

John Boyega on if He’ll Do More ‘Star Wars’: ‘You Ain’t Going to Disney Plus Me!’

If you know anything about “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” it’s that the movie from director J.J. Abrams marks the official conclusion of the three-trilogy Skywalker Saga. But…

variety.com

If you know anything about “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” it’s that the movie from director J.J. Abrams marks the official conclusion of the three-trilogy Skywalker Saga. But that does not necessarily mean that the characters created for the final trilogy — especially Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) — couldn’t have their stories told in future “Star Wars” projects.

That is, if the actors are willing to sign up for them.

“In what?” is John Boyega’s answer when Variety asked him on Tuesday what it would take for him to return to “Star Wars.”



“You ain’t going to Disney Plus me!” the actor added with a laugh.

Boyega is of course referring to the slate of “Star Wars” TV series set for Disney’s streaming service. While Disney Plus hasn’t released viewership numbers for the currently-streaming “The Mandalorian,” you’d have to be in a coma to miss the widespread obsession with the show’s breakout character of Baby Yoda. And there is significant fan enthusiasm for the spin-off series planned for Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi, and for “Rogue One” character Cassian Andor (Diego Luna).





Boyega, however, is not keen to join their ranks.

“I ain’t getting no Disney Plus!” he says. “I’m watching it, though, but I’ll stay in the feature films.”

And Boyega made clear that he would hypothetically be interested in making another “Star Wars” movie.

“As long as Daisy and Oscar are down for it, then I’ll come back,” he says.

Ridley and Isaac, however, are much less gung-ho.

“I don’t know,” Isaac tells Variety. He says that while he would miss the camaraderie he experienced making the trilogy, starting with 2015’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” he sees “The Rise of Skywalker” as “the closing of a chapter of my life.”

“[I’m] happy and feeling fulfilled that the task is complete,” he says. “So I can’t imagine what it would be that would make me want to redo this thing or revisit it.”

Ridley feels the same way. “I just don’t know if anything could top this one, honestly,” she says. “I think it’s just a great story and a great close, and even though obviously the characters continue to exist, it would have to be so extraordinary [to return], and I don’t know if that’s possible.”

In other words, do, or do not — they probably will not try.

Mostly the 6 inch black series figures (if your Wal-Mart even carries them) are stuff left over from Solo and Rey from the Ruin of Skywalker.

I mentioned previously that you can't find any Mandalorian characters at all. Even Cara Dune is gone.

It's like they really didn't expect a set of SW toys to be popular...

I see the Marvel crossover has begun with Domino coming to Star wars...

X-FORCE CONFIRMED! DEADPOOL IS A JEDI! FUCK YES!

At least they made her white again.

Defensive....klingons....defense to a klingon is "Is the other guy dead? Good I can drink blood wine and Fuck"

Why would a klingon, who's sole existence, is to fight and die in battle with honor and glory, think of anything beyond killing their opponent till they are dead?

Why does it look like mandibles ripped off of some giant bug?

I just finished watching this week's Mandalorian. I'm getting the western vibe for sure. Feels like Wanted: Dead or Alive and Cheyenne a bit.

This week was a fun episode but the space battle effects weren't the best.

I still have a lot of hope for the show and hope it leads somewhere good rather than getting the ol' snippity snip from SJW crap.

So when do Bill Burr and his Twi'lek (hench?)woman show up? And when can I buy their action figures?

I had the honor of spending a lot of time talking to Tim Rose at a local convention last year, and I felt like we could've talked all day! What a great guy. I was too disgusted to ask any questions about VIII, but we did talk about TFA a lot because he was describing all the differences in the new & old costumes to me. (The new headpiece had 36 servo-motoros buzzing the whole time he is trying to hear and see, out of the nostril!)

I wonder why... I can't recall the TFA prosthetic seeming in any way to be more lifelike or convincing than its ROTJ predecessor. Is putting actors in blinding head appliances another fetish for the producers of these films, like tentacles and "decraniated" people?

This lead to an interesting story about what an ass Abrams is:

He has the look of one, to be quite honest. Him and Rian Johnson both give off every appearance of being smug-yet-deeply-insecure little bitches.

"Hasn't anyone read Carl Jung?" Williams asked (seriously, he did.)

Comic Book Resources are the ones who initially ran with the 'WILLIAMS SAYS HE'S GENDERFLUID" take when he said he was in touch with his "feminine" side, they are a sub-The Mary Sue garbage "geek news" site.

I liked it too!
was fun to visit an old planet without beeing bombarded with member berries. the Sand people scene made alot of sense and gave an awefull lot more detail to their culture for 2 minutes of screentime.
The only thing i disliked was the lack of his weapon and that they didnt take her weapon with them. sounded like a top tier gun, cant let that loot go to waist...

The Kylo Ren ride crashed again this morning.

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Experiencing Numerous...

It's the second day of operation (third if you count Media Previews) for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney's Hollywood Studios and as we move towards day-to-day (read: not grand opening) operations, it seems that new issues are arising, with the attraction experiencing increased...

wdwnt.com

I see the Marvel crossover has begun with Domino coming to Star wars...

X-FORCE CONFIRMED! DEADPOOL IS A JEDI! FUCK YES!

She doesn't have the Domino marks, her eye is just shadowed in that pic. But Disney and Chuck Wendig did bring Deadpool into Star Wars in the form of a very VERY obnoxious droid who is a queer and twitterized hipster version of HK-47 who I've talked about in length before.

Disney drones proudly call this abomination the Deadpool of Star Wars or HK-47 but better because he acts just like Deadpool and makes "le funny quips XD" about killing for lulz and space chimichangas. Also his name is Mr. Bones and he was created by Snap Wexley aka Nu-Porkins. Its also said that he is the final fate of HK-47 (from KOTOR) in Disney canon... They couldn't even come up with an original design for this thing, they just used a regular B1 Battle Droid and gave it Deadpool's color scheme. Again, another good reason to purge this whole damn thing.

And there is significant fan enthusiasm

for “Rogue One” character Cassian Andor (Diego Luna).

Enthusiasm from who (aside from mindless drones on r/starwars)? This fucker is just a cheap Kyle Katarn knockoff with a corny accent and the only thing people liked about him was his nihilistic emo droid (who might not even appear regularly in this shit if IG-11 in the Mandalorian is anything to go by). If they wanted to do something that would make fans enthusiastic, how about a Dark Forces or Jedi Knights adaptation or HD remake as a game? The port for JKII on the Switch was met with stellar reception. Why not just do something with that?
