âNot-gayâ as in he is given a heterosexual love interest two films in after literally nothing to contradict full-gay.
Doc Manhattan would know it would take a psychic space squid invasion to get them to stop making these

Remember how Richard E. Grant is in this movie for like 5 minutes. I just did, at 2:21 AM, and started laughing, to myself, in my room. What the fuck was that. Why did that happen.
Spice World is a way better movie than Rise of the Skywalkers.

gotta say Iâm finding the production design on the mandalorian very hard to dislike week to week
like the writing and acting are occasionally very flat but as like the closest thing to an American doctor who it fits pretty comfortably above all the actually bad uses of this property
hudson hawk is a way better movie than rise of skywalker. i assume.

how long do you reckon theyâll pretend this âSkywalker sagaâ/âgrand trilogy of trilogiesâ means anything before moving on to the next reboot
Rian Johnson is still greenlit for his own trilogy. Theyâre just trying to figure out the timing for release.
*I wouldnât be surpised if the first one release during holiday season 2021.

Went to see this for a company event yesterday. It is generally entertaining, wouldnât really call it âgoodâ, but, itâs pleasant enough to watch. I legit fell asleep during the battle they showed in the trailer, with Rey and Kylo fighting on the Death Star wreckage.
The most fun for me is trying to unpack the details after the fact. Hereâs my favorite one, which Iâve been mulling over today:
Rise of Skywalker Spoilers
So when the Emperor rises his sith fleet from under the surface of Exegol, itâs comprised of thousands of star destroyers. The First Order guys debate a bit about whether they should align themselves with the Emperor, saying his fleet is thousands of times the size of theirs, and heretofore never heard of.
At first I thought like, maybe this is a Star Forge type situation where a massive number of robotic ships were built, but then we get the scene with the planet-destroying laser, and THE SHIP IS MANNED BY SITH OFFICERS
Where are these sith 9-to-5ers coming from? Have they been living on these ships for like 50 years? I kind of expected them to be some sort of zombie or undead thing until I saw a fresh-faced sith captain giving orders to the gunners.
If each destroyer has 30,000 people on it, then like, if thereâs 3 thousand of these star destroyers, thatâd be 90 fuckinâ million sith ground-pounders just dicking around on these new state-of-the-art star destroyers, each capable of being destroyed in a single strafe of a Y-Wing on the planet destroying laser on the underside.

when did force healing become a thing? was that a thing in the movies and Iâm just blanking on it or did they just shoehorn that in there in order to get themselves out of the plot corner they backed into at the end?
who were all those people/ghosts/spectators in the Emperorâs throne room at the end waiting to watch the events unfold? were they real? where did they go? where do they live?

re: force healing, i think this is one of the reasons they show baby yoda trying to heal the mandalorian in one of the early episodes of that show. my own personal theory backed up by nothing is that it is actually a version of the same type of power that sidious promised anakin in episode 3, and which he himself uses to stay alive in 9. but the difference is that rey uses her own life energy to heal others rather than the other way around. in general i think rey shows much more intuitive understanding of the force throughout all of the sequel episodes, itâs just that thereâs like⌠massive power creep with each one
as for the throne room, i donât think thereâs meant to be a clear explanation, but palpatine also has like people manning his thousands of star destroyers so clearly something is going on. to me it works mostly as a visual callback to the senate room in the prequels. they could either be clones or like sith cultists. idk i feel like the tv shows go into more depth about low level sith people in a way the movies never do. one can only assume theyâre out there somewhere
i kinda tagged them as a sort of sith chorus, a manifestation of all the sith lords prev as he talks about their spirits flowing thru him etcetc. thereâs no bodies under them cloaks

hey do mention during the movie the ships have to be staffed by members of the first orders, olâ Spooky didnât provide the crews, just the hardware.

They did? Canât remember them saying that.
So the First Order, when they were doing a council meeting to discuss the Last Order, mentions that the Sith Fleet contains âa thousandfoldâ more ships than the First Order has. Where did they get a thousand times more people to staff the ships? Also who was piloting these ships when they all rose out of the ground, windows all lit up and everything?
