    I'd take an extended version right now. The Leia scenes they cut from earlier in the film provide important information about the relationship between the Republic, the Resistance, and the First Order. I shouldn't be shocked they didn't put those deleted scenes on the Blu-ray, because a faneditor would have that back in the film within a few weeks of the disc's release. It still boggles my mind they left out those crucial bits of story just so they could save her reveal for later in the film. It's my one real issue with the movie, because the political situation in the galaxy is very confusing without knowing some of the back story that was revealed in the new books (which is NOT how fans should be learning about it). I blame this on Kasdan, as he was pretty open about his insistence that they cut more and more to streamline the film, and to "trust the audience" to figure out what's going on from what they are being shown.

    This Blu-ray release stinks of an impending double dip. I'd be shocked if some form of deluxe edition didn't come out in time for Rogue One. The bonus features are pretty thin.

    Jedi Padawans are still Jedi, along with Knights and Masters. Yoda tells Luke straight out that he is the last of the Jedi. Period. He (and Leia) are their last hope. And Rebels shows us Yoda knows about Kanan and Ezra. They have to be eliminated by ANH. And speaking of Padawans, thank god they dropped that term in the new movie and went back to using "apprentice." Edit: it's important to keep in mind that Rebels is first and foremost a kids show, and its status as canon can change at any point, really. There have been several instances of stuff being relegated to the EU after having once been considered canon.

    Well, sure, even Filoni said at the end of the day all of these force users are going to have to die. Not the point, though. We have the Rebel Alliance leaning heavily on the help of two Jedi, which pretty much goes against everything we've known for nearly 40 years. Never mind the fact that while being helped by the Jedi their pilots are flying around in state-of-the-art A-Wings several years before the Battle of Endor. Huh?

    Hell, one of the central themes of Rogue One completely contradicts what we have seen in Rebels:

    Of course I give a damn, which is why I'm moving on from this show. If I didn't care I'd just accept it. Sadly, Rebels lives in that space between fan fiction and fan service, which is something that plagued most of the content put out in the EU.

    Who cares? The vast majority of SW fans do not follow the show and are completely ignorant of the stories being told in it. Hell, almost all of the SW fans I know haven't even watched the prequels in over a decade. This stuff just isn't relevant.

    The 3D release is coming later this year. Though, the 3D market is largely dead.
  9. Duke Togo
    Cover 20 years of time in two episodes? Ok then.
  10. Duke Togo
    If you mean the prequels, then yes. If you mean the OT, I suggest you watch them again and then come back to your statement.

    /Film is reporting that Dave Bautista is joining the cast.
  12. Duke Togo
    I can see why they cut that.
  13. Duke Togo
    Never heard of it.

    Apparently, the "Bohemian Rapsody" trailer was not representative of the tone of Suicide Squad at all, and given the overwhelmingly positive response to it (and the critical backlash against BvS), they decided it was prudent to lighten up what was being described as an incredibly dark film. I assume it's getting a bit of a GotG and Deadpool makeover.
  15. Duke Togo
    Yeah, I have no problem with this. It looks right, and there is nothing about the retocon that upsets what we know in the OT.

    Potentially-cannon: A ‘Star Wars’ Animated Character Might’ve Appeared in a Live-Action Star Wars Movie? So speaketh Dave Filoni:
  17. Duke Togo
    No place else to really put Ben Kenobi news, and here is as good a place as any: From /Film Sounds like Lucasfilm has atleast talked about it with him.
  18. Duke Togo
    I get that, but
  19. Duke Togo
    Oh, and what's with
  20. Duke Togo
    The Starks and Boltons have a long and bloody history. My guess is it ends here. The dungeon or the Wall aren't enough for their crimes.
  21. Duke Togo
    /Film is reporting that Suicide Squad is undergoing tens of millions of dollars worth of reshoots to make it more fun and less like the gloomy and super-serious BvS.

    Robin Wright is joining the cast for BR2.
  24. Duke Togo
    American Ninja has always been a guilty pleasure movie of mine.

    Disappointing, like the rest of Rebels. I get it that this stuff works with kids, but it's a poor piece of fanfiction being passed off as Star Wars canon.
