  1. There might be a "slight" difference between Jedi and Sith. Papa Jango didn't mind being in the employ of Mr. Sith Dooku, so it reasons that Boba wouldn't take issue working for a Sith either. It's just seeing his pops beheaded by a purple laser-sword wielding space wizard that might make Boba a little surly towards Jedi. But bounty hunter fulfilling his contract, I don't think I have an issue with that take on Boba.
  2. Two theories: Probably letting Grogu slip to the Dark side. Easier to draw from that side. Faster way to replenish his Force strength. More Force ju-ju for Gideon to extract. OR Gideon’s trying to punch Grogu out. Let him waste his strength on low level enemies, so that he’s got nothing left for the “boss fight” or will put up less resistance. Rope-a-doping, if you will.
  3. It’s another nail in the coffin for retail and commercial spaces too. Malls were already hurting before the pandemic. And now most of the businesses that could take over a significant chunk of that space (movie theaters, gyms, restaurants, etc.) are hurting too. Add in that working virtual is now becoming more feasible, and you have less demand for those spaces or to convert them into office spaces. I could see movie theaters going the way of vinyl/LP records, becoming a specialty/niche market. But with THX sound systems and IMAX screens, I doubt they’ll completely go away.
  4. Actually, December 8th or 9th. I’m pot-committed at this point. Also, got Gideon coming in, so want a nice display. And don’t want to hunt like a madman to find the figures included with this. I feel for ya’ though, since you got more than one.
  5. Me, the wife, and the kiddos had a tradition of going to the movies Thanksgiving night or the next day (usually have the big ol’ feast at lunch instead). Even pre-Covid, the theaters were rarely packed Thanksgiving night. Kinda miss not doing that this year, but we’ll see how things pan out.
  6. That’s part of the movie going experience! About the only memorable part of Matrix Reloaded for me was squirming in my seat for the last 30 minutes or so, seeing the credits and hearing Calm Like Bomb, and making a beeline to take one of the longest leaks I’ve ever taken.
  7. I’m kinda spoiled with all the theaters nearby: assigned seating, recliners. Makes it a more enjoyable experience, and something fun to do with the kiddos . . . with minimal clean up afterwards. Yeah, home set-ups are getting to theater quality. But there is something about being with a bunch of fans on opening night for a big tent-pole movie. The energy of the crowd, everyone “getting” the Easter eggs and inside jokes. It’s just FUN. Back in the day, me and my boys used to go to Grauman’s Chinese Theater for the big movies’ opening weekend. That screen was freakin’ huge! Made for a fun experience. I’d like to get back to that fun group experience, but it’s ultimately a luxury. I’d like to see it survive, but ultimately, there are alternatives. EDIT: Pizza with tartar sauce?! I can understand ranch, but tartar sauce is a bridge too far for me (as I dip my French fries in mayo).
  8. * Glad they gave a tip of the cap to Ashley Eckstein, and never knew about the connection between Rosario and Hayden Christensen. * I don’t remember Rosario’s character in Shattered Glass, but it’s been awhile since I last watched that movie. * Interesting that Filoni being impacted by the California fires weaved its way into how the planet looked. Didn’t catch that on earlier viewings, but makes sense now. * And it’s POSSIBLE that this past episode happened BEFORE the end scene in Rebels. * So, the Balrog had a fire whip when it fought Gandalf the Grey. Ahsoka’s rocking a grey robe. The closest thing to a fire whip would be a lightsaber whip. . . OMG! Lumiya appearing in Mandalorian IMMINENT!!111!!!!
  9. Interesting interview with Dawson and Filoni: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/11/rosario-dawson-dave-filoni-mandalorian-ahsoka-tano-grogu
  10. Loved the little touch with the reverse saber grip. That’s kinda that Jedi’s thing, and I’m surprised that the Jedi didn’t bust out that style sooner. Also was a trip to see the Inosanto name in the credits. Looks like the Magistrate was played by Dan Inosanto’s daughter.
  11. Which leads back to my original question. I’m guessing before. Because someone’s not with “The Jedi.” Besides “The Jedi” has to still face the Balrog.
  12. SOC VV is a fun bugger to pose and has tons of accessories. It is smaller than the 80’s toy (but still winds up being significantly heavier). It does have its little frustrations, but the reviews here can identify the trouble/tricky areas.
  13. Bringing back all the feels. Nice find.
  14. I more impressed that they were able to pull off a decent capped and non-capped look with the same headsculpt for Lady Jaye. Not digging the look of Flint though. I get adding in the body armor, but I think the pouches in the belly area are too extraneous and unnecessary.
  15. Answer? Favreau and Filoni have a better grasp of what makes Star Wars “Star Wars.” Plus, when you watch those Gallery/behind the scenes episodes, you get a sense that they really collaborate with their directors. The sequel trilogy lacked that collaboration, amongst other things they lacked.
  16. Head canon is a fun thing! Allows me to believe that Luke winds up with a Force-sensitive redhead, and let’s me pick and choose whatever elements from the EU I wanna keep.
  17. Well, I still haven’t watched TROS, especially after having to endure that ball of stupid called TLJ. As I’ve said before, I think Moff Gideon graduated from the Thrawn School of Competent Imperial Officers. Plus, I have more faith in Favreau and Filoni than I do Johnson and JJ.
  18. Mid-run or getting ready to claw someone’s face off:
