Tbh what exactly can you honestly do with a Solo 2 movie? They've introduced Maul in it, so you can't risk Han Solo ever running into Maul cause that would contradict ANH. Qi'ra would have to be killed off in some way, i just really don't know what you could do. Yes Crimson Dawn series would work beautifully.
Thank you for putting time codes in your description - we haven't been able to watch bad batch yet and it was nice to skip ahead to avoid spoilers 👍🏻👍🏻
I've seen yourself, Rocha, Campea and others who were affected by Ben making tributes to him and it's touching. I never met him or had any real contact other than seeing his fun/interesting super chats during live show and the like. Thoughts go out to his friends and family.
I'm here for Kristian going full on dad mode talking about how smart or funny his kids are or some hilarious anecdote; heartwarming stuff. Also, great seeing Smets again, one of my all time favorite Schmoedown competitors along with Rocha and Jeannine (goes w/o saying it's always great to see the Steez).
I love the adventure of the week of The Bad Batch. I like a show that I can put on any episode and just sit back and watch and I don't have to worry about the arch. It reminds me of the shows I grew up watching.
Great show! For Jedi Fallen Order when fighting some bosses I lowered the difficulty and that helped a lot, I was able to finish the game this way, and this is after I rage quit for like half a year 😂
I really enjoy Bad Batch, partly for the fun adventure of the week thing but I also really Like Omega and to see where her character ends up and I also like the Echo Character from when he was in Clone Wars to where he is now with Bad Batch and where he ends up. I am hoping they show how the Empire deals with the rest of clones. Kill them Off and how many possible survive. I enjoy all stars from the serious and dramatic of Andor, to the fun adventure stuff of Bad Batch and Mando. Keep up great work, Council.
Bad Batch is popcorn, needs longer arcs, more depth, and more stakes. Ahsoka will reflect Filon’s growth, my #1. I hope KOTOR will be the next tentpole series after Mando. I like a blank canvas for Lindelof. Imo we need the chaos of more force sensitives than what the emerging Jedi can handle, and a Sith awakening within that.
Exploring Dathomir was my favourite part of Fallen Order, so interesting, and the outcome of the story because of your time in Dathomir is even better.
The Gilroys should write a Boba Fett crime thriller. Generally, a merger between the Gilroys writing and Filoni/Favreau vision needs to happen. A post-TRoS trilogy or an Old Republic trilogy. Not sure what is going on at Lucasfilm. They seem devoid of ideas although a broad range of possibilities can be explored. I'd like to see the Gilroys and Filoni/Favreau having creative oversight over Star Wars going forward.
OK Kevins suggestion of doingan Apocalypse Now style Hayden Clone Wars movie made my head explode! Yeeeeeeesssss....... I wsould loooove that and I am an OT guy!
Damon Lindelof working on Star Wars. A writer who has often been a bit of a pinata in the online sci-fi / fantasy community and has previous form for being confrontational about criticism of his work. With THIS fandom?? Grab yourself some popcorn folks, the fallout's going to be hilarious. I'm predicting scenes.
Theres a myriad of reasons why Solo didn’t work, especially as a giant film 6 months after The Last Jedi. For me the main reason I have no interest in seeing a continuation comes from the fact Solo was filled with every lazy, predictable, hokey beat any fan could have dreamt up! It was a Han Solo wiki article dressed up as a “film”. Some how they managed to cram every anecdote, reference, or throw away comment Han ever uttered/experienced into a 2 hour film. In hindsight could a series centered on Solo worked on Disney+? Sure, maybe. Should they? Honestly no. Like you all said the Franchise needs to push forward and make new things, characters and plots.
I like Bad Batch as a fun serialized adventure series. First 2 episodes of Season 2 are good, loved the conection to Dooku, and emotional scenes between Echo & Omega. I know not everyone likes Omega but i do love her as a character and Wrecker as well. I will believe Damon Lindelof's Star Wars movie is happening when i see it filming. Until then, i don't trust anything SW movie related.
I really like The Bad Batch. Growing up watching TCW, my favorite thing about that show was the Clones themselves. So a whole show dedicated to a group of Clones and their adventures across the galaxy is right up my alley. And I don't necessarily need it to have heavier lore implications to really enjoy it. The bits of heavier lore we get are definitely a plus and very much appreciated. But I don't need it. I'm totally fine with the adventure of the week aspect of it. But I'll gladly take the heavier lore if you're givin it to me.
i liked the Ned B retro figure, i would have liked that figure as a kid and i like Cassian's red droid figure from the Andor show, i didn't know that there was an exclusive toy line at Disneyland, i've never been there.
Was literally just finishing watching the Avatar spoiler Big Thing review and I thought ‘I wonder if there is a new video?’ And 5 minutes ago this was uploaded, nice 😊
Great show, love the takes from Smets! I think that Bad Batch is fun, but its just something that I watch, rather than really looking forward to it. I am one of the folks that did not think a season 2 was necessary at all, and think they could have told the story in 1 season. I love the animation in the second season, but wasnt really intrigued by much of the two episodes so far, until the clone was killed at the end of the second episode. that is really the only intrigue that i had in two of the first episodes. It could be fun if they solely focus on phasing the clones out of the empire etc. pleeeeeeeease do not drag this series out past 2 seasons. give us more Tales of the Jedi, and Tales of the Sith in between series instead!!!
I don't think people should put pressure on themselves to like everything in star wars. There are so many tastes out there. I like that Star Wars seems to be providing variety
i would like Solo 2, we would get to see him meet Jabba and Boba Fett, and before Book of Boba Fett came out, i thought the rumor of Boba Fett being a woman was true and that the Solo movie solidified the rumor by having Qira take the office ship with the Mandalorian armor in it. so that would make Boba Fett a former lover of Han's and that's why they have it in for Han so bad.
We still have a "Lando" series if I'm not mistaken. So I think there is a chance some of the Solo characters pop up or continue their story in some way in a Lando series being led by Donald Glover. May not be a Solo 2 movie but I think this is a good opportunity for those character.
I would love to see Glover reprise his Lando role, but I think there is no way we see a Lando series now. That, like many other announcements Lucasfilm made are likely dead in the water. but we shall see!
With the latest success of Avatar 2 and a few MCU movies, Lucasfilm must be feeling mortified. Once king of Trilogy, Star Wars movies are no more. All they got are tv shows and cartoons, very sad.
I think they have no sound plan over at Lucasfilm. The Gilroys and Filoni/Favreau should be at the creative helm of movies and the overall plan and reset. So much they could explore but they seem bereft of ideas there. Its quite simple really, but yes they will get left behind. Andor, Rogue One and the Mandalorian so far have only had solid writing in live action. Obi Wan and Boba and the waste ST were disappointing.
I'm totally with you guys on the culmination film, I've been saying similar things on my show for awhile. Sure fire way to be a successful return to the big screen with Mando, Ashoka, etc. as the lead.
They should release all the episodes at once, I don't watch weekly shows until the full season is out. I don't have any friends to discuss the show with.
I like Bad Batch just cause fun adventure of the week in bite sized chunks is great and refreshing being in the star wars world for 22 mins a week. I also find the Clone story so interesting and where they end up during the original trilogy.
I have absolutely DESPISED everything that Damon Lindelof has ever had a hand in. I would prefer that the next Star Wars film be written by the first random person that Kathleen Kennedy bumps into on the street than to see it written by Lindelof. This sucks!😡
Great episode as always, but do you think that Star Wars and Lucas Film should separate from each other? And keep it almost like 2 separate studios and have John and Dave run that "Studio"?
I would be down for that.....but does Lucasfilm really have anything else outside of StarWars aside from Willow and Indy? They are all re-treads. that company would fail without StarWars! Hope Lucasfilm can hit with some new ideas soon.....
Great show today! I really love the idea of Lindleoff movie moving past the sequel trilogy which is what i want all of the star wars after Acolyte to do is go into the future or way into the old republic past. As Steph said "Time to move on" I really love the idea of a old republic tv series and though I think it would do awesome I am afraid it will never happen in my lifetime.
I cannot wait to see what craziness and new star warsy stuff Ashoka brings us . And a live action Ezra means we have two alive Jedi in the sequel era .
Both of whom you could argue, however, are technically *not* Jedi, at least not in a ceremonial sense…but yea that doesn’t really make a difference anyways, I’m super excited as well and very nervous at the same time, but I always have full confidence in Dave to deliver top notch quality and genuine emotional story with not just a few memorable moments but to execute a timeless overall vision of this new journey he will take us on with the character(s) that will be remembered fondly in the entirety of the show.
I think dave filoni and jon favreau are great candidate's to replace Kennedy but wouldn't that take time away from what they can do creatively? great show guys!
That's the problem with Disney Star Wars. Not enough Sith and Jedi lore. Because they have no clue how to move forward with that lore. Plus, Disney doesn't like violent lightsabers slashing through other beings since they think Star Wars is for kids.
#makesolo2happn (well, a spin off series of Crimson Dawn w all the characters that is) lol Solo was fun! Who wouldnt want to see a Crimson Dawn series?!?! bet there are more of us that would like to see it, than yall who dont! Kristain is thinking too much inside the box. of course there probably isnt going to be a Solo 2 movie, but a series of sorts or spin off is likely the direction it would go. the #makesolohappen movement is not just about a movie bro! obviously there is not going to be a Lando show now (that is about as alive as the Taika project), so lets tell some of the stories from that movie in a series! again, I dont think you all understand the makesolohappen movement at all.... there is no chance it hits the big screen, but that is not what fans are asking
I really like Bad Batch. But I agree I was hoping right off the bat we would get away from the “adventure of the week” angle. That being said, I think we are jumping the gun on criticizing this show too much. All the SW animated shows start out with a lot of little character development details early on and expand after that. And for that reason, when the stuff with weight finally happens we are invested in the characters. By the end of this season I think we may be singing a different tune.
Hey, Kristian. Could you put a link in your descriptions to your guests' various channels or projects. I'd like to check out Kevin's KOTR stuff but don't know where to find it. It's 3:30 am and I'm a little tipsy, so I apologize if y'all said where it is in the episode... High-five!
I like The Bad Batch, not as much as Clone Wars or Rebels though. What I really enjoy most about it is how the explores the immediate aftermath of the Empire taking over and the lore that it establishes. I don't totally mind the adventure of the week thing, but it would be nice if they at least had a long term goal. They're just kinda floating around doing random stuff right now. Hoping they figure out what their purpose is eventually.
It personally annoys me that people are upset that the Bad Batch is an "adventure of the week" show but that's exactly what the Mandalorian was. So your okay with that but not this? Give me a break. Bad Batch is fun great show with gorgeous animation, incredible sound effects and a fantastic score that continues the legacy of the Clone Wars. I love it.
TOTALLY fair point, for me it's less the adventure of the week and more I was so moved by the entire Clone Wars show that I thought it wrapped up PERFECTLY, and though I'm always game for more stories to be told, I felt like bewcause it's almost the same exact animation style and designs as TCW it feels like just another season, if that makes sense.
Great episode and deep-dive into current and future SW. I love Bad Batch, the tone and style feels more Clone Wars-ish so more adult and serious, less kiddy like Rebels. Though I agree it was a bit much with all those missions to pay back their debt with that underworld boss. I hope they have a 3rd season because it’s the last existing SW show that feels pre-Disney. I was super hopeful about next SW movie when I read Lindeloff was gonna write it a week ago. That one season Watchmen show he did was amazing. But now that you said the Ms Marvel Director will be directing, i know it’s gonna be geared towards a 12 year old audience and have that kiddy / Disney Channel show kinda feel, like Wizards of Waverly Place set in space with a woke agenda. Lindeloff won’t get to have full creative control when writing this one. If I were Lindeloff i wouldn’t touch this with a 10 ft pole, it could ruin his reputation.
Great show! I bailed a couple of episodes into the Bad Batch season 1. I thought it started strong but then when it fell into Omega gets herself in trouble and needs to be saved mode I stopped watching. I'm definitely interested in hearing your thoughts about it each week and maybe I'll watch episodes you guys think are really good.
IDGAF about another Star Wars movie again. They should prioritize regaining the audience faith and trust which has been up and down recently the only ups being Mandalorian and Andor/Rogue 1.
Binging wouldn´t be better they will have in the middle and the end anyways 2 Episodes so 10 weekly eps isn´t that bad since they aren´t long unfortunately. 16 Eps in Total.
The worst mistake the Kenobi show made was going through the Vader/Obi-Wan, then cutting to the Reva chases Luke scene. The Vader/Obi-Wan fight was edge-of-your-seat gripping. They should've either finished the Vader/Obi-Wan fight and then covered the Reva chasing Luke. or do the Reva/Luke first, then do the Vader/Obi-Wanfight.
So would that mean we maybe will not getting a Movie before that predicted 2025 or couldn´t or wouldn´t they think of putting some on the classic May Date as well like Rogue Squadron could be a May Movie like Taika´s???? Maybe one in 2024 and 2026 in May and Kevin Feige´s 2027 (when he possible have pushed Marvel enough to have time for doing a Star Wars). Or do you think they probably starting with 2025 their 2 yrs thing again???
I think its set for 2025. I seriously hate to wait that long between Star Wars movies! Who would have thought when Lucasfilm was sold we would wait this long between movies?
there is so much in the past that the star wars movies could be about , from the Tales of the Jedi comics set thousands of years before the movies, and they named the new animated series Tales of the Jedi, and it has nothing to do with the comic book of the same name, which i think they shouldn't have named it that.
Since it will be Live Action will not be Temurra (Jango Boba) voice the Clone troopers??? We here at least thankfully have his dubbed voice who also he gotten in the Prequels with so like Obi Wan Luke and others. Like we gotten it for Clone Wars and Rebels and Bad Batch makes things much sweeter for us and more connected having the same voices like in the Movies.
this show totally reminds me of S2-5ish of clone wars. i enjoy it for it. im hoping for a bit of later seasons where its a little more hard hitting stories. if not it will fall in the the that was fine/good enough SW shows
Cant honestly say i want anything from the sequel trilogy in the same respect on your opinion about solo. Im glad for all the fans of the sequels. But really they need to stay far away from that.
Star Wars can’t even get an experienced film director now. That’s how toxic the fan base is. No one wants to risk a successful career with what their “fans” do to any director who makes a creative decision they don’t like. So they are stuck with upcoming TV directors.
Lindelof's movie sounds like garb-garb already. "Looking to cast diverse in the lead role." *fart noise. JUST CAST THE BEST ACTOR FOR THE JOB! Or better yet, make the lead character an alien or wompa rat or some shit. When you are intentionally cutting out a piece of this salad bowl we are living in, you end up with someone like Rey. A wooden board with zero connection to the audience. Do you know why there's been no lore for Finn, Rey, or Poe after the sequel trilogy? Because they're dumpster juice characters. People don't care. After the original trilogy ended, people were dying of THIRST to see what happened next! Cast the most talented actor regardless of race/sex and move on from there.
I love Prometheus. There is alot of deep thought went into that. I am open to giving any new movie a fair shake. I grew up with the OT, but I like the prequels and the sequels. I get that they aren't perfect but I enjoy them. So I am excited to see what Damon Lindelof does.

Tbh what exactly can you honestly do with a Solo 2 movie? They've introduced Maul in it, so you can't risk Han Solo ever running into Maul cause that would contradict ANH. Qi'ra would have to be killed off in some way, i just really don't know what you could do. Yes Crimson Dawn series would work beautifully.
Thank you for the tribute to Ben. It means a lot. Those of us who got to spend time and work along side ben know how amazing of a person he is.
Much love to you Ben and your family at this time. Thank you Sith Council!!! Appreciate and love you guys!!! 🙂👍
Much appreciated my friend.
Really love the slight format change you’ve implemented into all your shows. Small but helps the flow even more
Thank you!
RIP to Ben Rainer, anytime I interacted with the guy in chat or various comment sections he was a delightful human being. He will be missed.💔
Thank you for putting time codes in your description - we haven't been able to watch bad batch yet and it was nice to skip ahead to avoid spoilers 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Damn so hard to hear about the passing of Ben. Prayers to his family
Be At Peace, Ben Rainer 🙏🏼 🖤 ✊🏼

I am a simple man. I see a new Kristian Harloff video, watch it and give it a like. Greetings from Chile, you guys are the best
Very kind, thank you!
Happy New Year to The Sith Council
Have had a rough few weeks, physical illnesses coming back and all that Great stuff. Looking forward to catching up.
Smets!!! Love that guy and his KOTOR movies!!! Can’t wait to listen!
Thanks for the support
Ron Howard for Lucasfilm presidem, he has the experience in my humble opinion.
I really enjoy Bad Batch, partly for the fun adventure of the week thing but I also really Like Omega and to see where her character ends up and I also like the Echo Character from when he was in Clone Wars to where he is now with Bad Batch and where he ends up.

Exploring Dathomir was my favourite part of Fallen Order, so interesting, and the outcome of the story because of your time in Dathomir is even better.
I’m a fan of Bad Batch the animation alone keeps me engaged. Another banger of an episode u all thanks.
❤ Ben was one of the good ones.
I 98% agree with Smets on Solo....

Sorry to hear about Ben x
Great show as always Kristian
Had no idea about Scoundrels Inc. Subbed right away. Thank you guys for another great show
Much better flow of a show with Kevin vs Mike. Not really excited for Bad Batch. Bring on Ahsoka though. Can't wait.
Great show, love the takes from Smets!

You too!
I saw the thumbnail and thought, “David Cross is doing a Star Wars movie??” … then I realized it was Lindelof.
Hahha
Great show today! I really love the idea of Lindleoff movie moving past the sequel trilogy which is what i want all of the star wars after Acolyte to do is go into the future or way into the old republic past. As Steph said "Time to move on" I really love the idea of a old republic tv series and though I think it would do awesome I am afraid it will never happen in my lifetime.
Thank you!! And I agree, unless new leadership, will never happen.
Very true!
at the end of the Book of Boba Fett series , i thougt Omega was in the bacta tank at the end credit scene
I loved solo also it was a good movie
I cannot wait to see what craziness and new star warsy stuff Ashoka brings us . And a live action Ezra means we have two alive Jedi in the sequel era .
Yeah very curious how this plays out.
Both of whom you could argue, however, are technically *not* Jedi, at least not in a ceremonial sense…but yea that doesn’t really make a difference anyways, I’m super excited as well and very nervous at the same time, but I always have full confidence in Dave to deliver top notch quality and genuine emotional story with not just a few memorable moments but to execute a timeless overall vision of this new journey he will take us on with the character(s) that will be remembered fondly in the entirety of the show.
Bad Batch has become good background noise for when I do my class work
Surprised that I liked first two episodes a solid bit so far. Not my favorite thing, but a nice appetizer for the two years we’re about to get!
Fair enough!
I think dave filoni and jon favreau are great candidate's to replace Kennedy but wouldn't that take time away from what they can do creatively? great show guys!
Great show everyone, RIP Ben Reiner
The best.
Not sure how I feel about the possibility of zombie stormtroopers…
We shall see
Death troopers book was cool.
They are so desperate for a story, for a plot that’ll work they’re turning to The Walking Dead as a solution 😂. It is gonna fail so hard lol.
That's the problem with Disney Star Wars. Not enough Sith and Jedi lore. Because they have no clue how to move forward with that lore. Plus, Disney doesn't like violent lightsabers slashing through other beings since they think Star Wars is for kids.

Hey, Kristian. Could you put a link in your descriptions to your guests' various channels or projects. I'd like to check out Kevin's KOTR stuff but don't know where to find it. It's 3:30 am and I'm a little tipsy, so I apologize if y'all said where it is in the episode... High-five!
I like The Bad Batch, not as much as Clone Wars or Rebels though. What I really enjoy most about it is how the explores the immediate aftermath of the Empire taking over and the lore that it establishes. I don't totally mind the adventure of the week thing, but it would be nice if they at least had a long term goal. They're just kinda floating around doing random stuff right now. Hoping they figure out what their purpose is eventually.
It personally annoys me that people are upset that the Bad Batch is an "adventure of the week" show but that's exactly what the Mandalorian was. So your okay with that but not this? Give me a break. Bad Batch is fun great show with gorgeous animation, incredible sound effects and a fantastic score that continues the legacy of the Clone Wars. I love it.
TOTALLY fair point, for me it's less the adventure of the week and more I was so moved by the entire Clone Wars show that I thought it wrapped up PERFECTLY, and though I'm always game for more stories to be told, I felt like bewcause it's almost the same exact animation style and designs as TCW it feels like just another season, if that makes sense.
I actually like Bad Batch over Mandalorian, which has de-evolved into a cute baby who does cute baby things and a man who cries.
Good on you, Kristian for not using the video of your kid!!!
I love clone wars and rebels even visions and bad batch
Great episode and deep-dive into current and future SW.
I love Bad Batch, the tone and style feels more Clone Wars-ish so more adult and serious, less kiddy like Rebels. Though I agree it was a bit much with all those missions to pay back their debt with that underworld boss. I hope they have a 3rd season because it’s the last existing SW show that feels pre-Disney.
I was super hopeful about next SW movie when I read Lindeloff was gonna write it a week ago. That one season Watchmen show he did was amazing. But now that you said the Ms Marvel Director will be directing, i know it’s gonna be geared towards a 12 year old audience and have that kiddy / Disney Channel show kinda feel, like Wizards of Waverly Place set in space with a woke agenda. Lindeloff won’t get to have full creative control when writing this one. If I were Lindeloff i wouldn’t touch this with a 10 ft pole, it could ruin his reputation.
Great show! I bailed a couple of episodes into the Bad Batch season 1. I thought it started strong but then when it fell into Omega gets herself in trouble and needs to be saved mode I stopped watching. I'm definitely interested in hearing your thoughts about it each week and maybe I'll watch episodes you guys think are really good.
IDGAF about another Star Wars movie again. They should prioritize regaining the audience faith and trust which has been up and down recently the only ups being Mandalorian and Andor/Rogue 1.
Do think Bad Batch might benefit more from two episodes each week rather than one per week.
Binging wouldn´t be better they will have in the middle and the end anyways 2 Episodes so 10 weekly eps isn´t that bad since they aren´t long unfortunately. 16 Eps in Total.
The worst mistake the Kenobi show made was going through the Vader/Obi-Wan, then cutting to the Reva chases Luke scene. The Vader/Obi-Wan fight was edge-of-your-seat gripping. They should've either finished the Vader/Obi-Wan fight and then covered the Reva chasing Luke. or do the Reva/Luke first, then do the Vader/Obi-Wanfight.
Totally agree.
So would that mean we maybe will not getting a Movie before that predicted 2025 or couldn´t or wouldn´t they think of putting some on the classic May Date as well like Rogue Squadron could be a May Movie like Taika´s????
Maybe one in 2024 and 2026 in May and Kevin Feige´s 2027 (when he possible have pushed Marvel enough to have time for doing a Star Wars). Or do you think they probably starting with 2025 their 2 yrs thing again???
I think its set for 2025. I seriously hate to wait that long between Star Wars movies! Who would have thought when Lucasfilm was sold we would wait this long between movies?
I can’t be excited for a Star Wars movie until I know more lol there’s no trust between people in control of the films and myself haha
Team Steez
I am aware haha, but you need to add something after that!
@@TheKristianHarloff Okay. Steph is the best.
I don't understand how the scene with Ahsoka can take place before the end of Rebels. Rebels is before Episode 4 and Mandalorian is after episode 6.
The very last episode of Rebels, the last 5 minutes or so takes place after Jedi.
there is so much in the past that the star wars movies could be about , from the Tales of the Jedi comics set thousands of years before the movies, and they named the new animated series Tales of the Jedi, and it has nothing to do with the comic book of the same name, which i think they shouldn't have named it that.
Since it will be Live Action will not be Temurra (Jango Boba) voice the Clone troopers??? We here at least thankfully have his dubbed voice who also he gotten in the Prequels with so like Obi Wan Luke and others. Like we gotten it for Clone Wars and Rebels and Bad Batch makes things much sweeter for us and more connected having the same voices like in the Movies.
Alden was great as Han Solo. I do not want to see any more creepy Deep Fake.
this show totally reminds me of S2-5ish of clone wars. i enjoy it for it. im hoping for a bit of later seasons where its a little more hard hitting stories. if not it will fall in the the that was fine/good enough SW shows
Cant honestly say i want anything from the sequel trilogy in the same respect on your opinion about solo. Im glad for all the fans of the sequels. But really they need to stay far away from that.
The movement is for a continuation of solo story beats not necessarily a solo 2 movie.
If the next SW movie is in the sequel timeline it's going to be a disaster. Not interested.
Hard to get too excited given the messes the Disney trilogy created. Plus lindeloff is an abrams guy.
Star Wars can’t even get an experienced film director now. That’s how toxic the fan base is. No one wants to risk a successful career with what their “fans” do to any director who makes a creative decision they don’t like. So they are stuck with upcoming TV directors.
I like Bad Batch well enough, but for me it scratches my Star Wars itch until the next big show comes out.
Lindelof's movie sounds like garb-garb already. "Looking to cast diverse in the lead role." *fart noise. JUST CAST THE BEST ACTOR FOR THE JOB! Or better yet, make the lead character an alien or wompa rat or some shit. When you are intentionally cutting out a piece of this salad bowl we are living in, you end up with someone like Rey. A wooden board with zero connection to the audience. Do you know why there's been no lore for Finn, Rey, or Poe after the sequel trilogy? Because they're dumpster juice characters. People don't care. After the original trilogy ended, people were dying of THIRST to see what happened next! Cast the most talented actor regardless of race/sex and move on from there.
RIP 🙏🏾 Ben
He was just so great.
Yes he was ….to everyone
Another awesome SW discussion.
I also they hope they link the rebels ending into his character I’ll be so annoyed if they throw away that epic rebels ending
They will link it I am sure.
Why can’t you criticize Deborah chow? The directing was 100 times worse than the writing. The worst moments were the directing not writing.

I love Prometheus. There is alot of deep thought went into that. I am open to giving any new movie a fair shake. I grew up with the OT, but I like the prequels and the sequels. I get that they aren't perfect but I enjoy them. So I am excited to see what Damon Lindelof does.
