My stepson just saw this and said it was the best Star Wars he'd seen. But he pretty much says that's the last movie he's seen was the best movie he's seen, so take from that what you will

Saw this elsewhere

Let's put this all to bed once and for all.
I work in a library and do Lego Animation.
One of the kids left his workbook behind and open on a page where he has ranked all the Star Wars movies (even has included the animated movie).
Number 1: Empire Strikes Back
Number 2: The Last Jedi
Number 3: a new hope
Number 4: revenge of the sith

Phantom menace and attack of the clones are the bottom two.


He is 12, Disney are doing something right.

He also ranked the characters, it went to a four page list.

It's Disney. Their market is kids. They do not give a fuck about pissed off middle aged men.

They are 100% doing something right.

Also, I get that the pundits and people who make a living talking about Star Wars can't acknowledge this, because it's contrary to their bottom line, but can we talk about how Lucasfilm doesn't OWE the fans anything? Such a stupid fucking notion to me. Bullying people, being completely shitty and awful to try and get your way is absurd. Especially where art is concerned.

Are you aware of the rebel force radio controversy? Have you been listening to Collider lately?

Yeah. Take that thought and apply it there.

I am not aware of the Rebel Force Radio controversy. I listen to Collider Jedi Council every week but I've kinda given up on their other programs like MovieTalk.

I love you and hope you can take at least some of the nonsense I say seriously.
So I can’t give you bullet points and you should really look up what’s happening.

Read this. Then I’ll fill you in on Collider.

The opening line to that article is "Hate group and Star Wars fandom terrorist organization..."

I'm aware of most of the stuff in that article. I'm aware of what happened to Kelly Marie Tran. And of the organized efforts to troll Disney with hateful shit because of racist, misogynist bullshit.

What is the Rebel Force Radio controversy? And what does any of it have to do with Collider?

I tried doing a Google search for the RFR controversy and I think I kind have my head wrapped around that, vaguely. But the specifics are hard to pin down.

YOure probably better off. They’re siding with the racists and sayin shit like there’s no proof Kelly took down her Instagram cos of racist abuse.

They have made horrible comments about her in the past on their show.

Example in pic

Still enjoyed this on the third run. May see it once more, but I'm very keen for the bluray version with all the extras.

Dime, what's up with Collider? We didn't really touch on that.

In a nutshell, criticising those people who are abusing Kelly online, while at the same time running a narrative saying Kathleen Kennedy has to go. So basically talking out both sides of their mouths and keeping *that* onboard by doing so and also are the only outlet out there pushing this narrative. And I mean outlet not random losers on YT.

everyone’s aware of what they’re up to, it’s exactly what RFR are doing by keeping some semblance of an audience and income even if it means insecure fragile white guys who are keyboard warriors. Collider are being cleverer about it but also leading an imaginary charge
For Kennedy to go which is utter bullshit and they should know better but they’re making sure at least one side of their bread stays buttered.

Make a $50 million sequel. Keep it on one planet, use practical costumes and vehicles as well as natural locations and mat paintings, limit special effects to blaster fire, and limit the fan service. Solo is going to cross $200 million domestically this week. It can be a successful franchise.

I want a sequel but I don't want a "direct" sequel. I want a Qi'ra movie. I want a Lando movie. I want a Maul movie. I want all of it to culminate in something that crosses-over.
