So to nobodies surprise, the Battle of Jakku looks great, but the content is lacking, and it's glaringly obvious at this point.

Plus Turning Point literally only has 1 playable map.

Also, I tried looking for nods to Lost Stars, but I gave up because there is literally fucking hundreds of things falling fro the skies, or already crashed to the ground. I don't think I have the sanity to try and see if any of them is an individual nod to the book.

The thought of an Askajian without butterface is specifically why I have a multiboob fetish. So yes.

>>77847539
Also there's a painful lack of weapons I am just discovering.

>1 Shotgun
>1 Targeting Rifle
>3 Blasters, two of which are the Rebel/Empire defaults, and the third is just Boba Fetts gun unlock-able to use on your regular soldier.

Come the fuck on.

On the plus side, that Targeting Rifle is perfect, got 30 kills on my second game of Turning Point with it.

Anybody else playing Battlefront, or did EA/Dice completely turn you away from the game?

Many of us care about him, but we know that he won't last the series and his jobber status, unfounded or not, and him working with Vader is a death sentence for many Imperials in Star Wars. I think there is some YouTube/Rebels vid that touches on this subject.

You're thinking of the Inflictor, a regular Star Destroyer.

The one in the WebM is the Ravager, the final SSD in the Empire (Which you also see on Sullust taking off)

It is currently unknown if Rae Sloane is aboard the Ravager, but I suspect she is. Seemed to be building up to that in Aftermath.

>>77855045
Speaking of, I hope they explain that at some point in the movie so the normalfags aren't confused by it because it really does deserve an explanation in the main film saga. Like have Finn say "I was a Stormtrooper for the First Order" and Rey responds "I thought all Stormtroopers were clones?" and Finn replies "No, they stopped using clones right after the Clone Wars. The clones were made to only useful for a few years and after that they started getting worse so they had to hire normal people to be soldiers."

I'm a few chapters deep into Star Wars Battlefront Twilight Company.

Wow, have all Star Wars audiobooks been of this quality the whole time? Or is this just a 'new movie promotion' level of quality? All the sound effects, John Williams score, they make these books a lot of fun to read. I also read Lost Stars...

I liked the Lost Stars connection in the Battlefront Jakku teaser.

I also find it interesting that the book for Battlefront doesn't feel like a shitty tie-in. The narrator is either selling this dialogue, or this is really well written...

Those ships are lying on their bellies, as if they were taken in to crash but keep the integrity of the ship.

Ree is trying to kill herself and destroy most of the ship to not fall into Rebel hands. So, it makes sense she would take it nose first seeing as how it would cause the most damage. It'd probably completely destroy it.

>>77860187
Would they really make the entire era Canon though? LSG have been very safe and cautious with what they add to the nucanon most of the time. I don't see them doing that when they won't even make the fantasy flight games sourcebooks canon even though they collaborated and took things from the nucanon for them. I'll be surprised if they canonise an entire game. Doesn't seem like them, they're too lazy to let that much through all at once. They're probably just making HK-47 canon and a few other things.

No, it's never going to happen. They may make something similar, even very similar, and you could even go out and say that 50-60% of the stuff in the KOTOR/TOR universe may one day be recanonized, but the chances of any of the games being recanonized wholesale is zero.

Ravager is supposedly the last SSD, according to what Rae Sloane tells the other imperials in Aftermath, but shortly before she calls Pandion she admits that she lied and the Empire has other weapons hidden

Right? Aftermath was boring as shit till 2/3 of the way in. It set up everything so fucking slow, and some of it didnt even pay off.

I read Rise of Lord Vader over the weekend and it was so much better. It lulled a little in the middle, like the stuff with the smugglers in the beginning, but for the most part is was great. Vader's suit stuff, the aftermath of Order 66, and the stuff with Bail Organa was great.

Aftermath felt like comic script turned into a book. It wouldn't surprise me if it was.

it seems they have SOME problems in atmosphere, because the ISD Herald struggles on Sullust in Battlefront: Twilight Company:

"We’re in atmosphere,” he said, embarrassed at his own urgent tone. “We need full power to stay aloft. Any disruption at all—” Star Destroyers were extraordinary vessels, capable of razing mountains and carrying armies. But their mass was measured in millions upon millions of tonnes, and their energy requirements were vast."

I'd be pleased if they showed more divisions within the Jedi order. The prequels presented the whole organization as pretty monolithic with Qui-Gon as more of an outsider than anything.

Some even opted to stay out of the war completely on the belief that the Order's fighting a war was incompatible with its beliefs. They were right, but they also shirking their duty to the Republic - which was the unfortunate paradox the Jedi faced in the Clone Wars. Mace Windu went to renegotiate their stance on the conflict and eventually brought them back to the fold after they fended off an assassination attempt by Asajj Ventress.

The age of an organization only has bearing for the backlog or catalog of its work and portfolio. Criticizing or suspecting that a long-lived organization dedicated to the support and recognition of achievements in film due to its age is in and out of itself irrelevant as a form of criticism.

In the original situation cited, we were discussing the state of film in 2015. How exactly is the fact that the National Board of Review is over 100 years old entirely relevant to this discussion beyond that they are relatively well-known and have an expansive portfolio of work in this regard? What bearing does that have on their capabilities to review or judge films?

Those capabilities are more related to their actual criteria, which does not necessarily correlate to the age of the institution or how well known it is.

In your original post you cast the NBR's selection of the film as a reflection of "opinion". This misunderstood the nature of the NBR's selection process and cast the selection as the result of one individual rather than that of a committee.

You later stated that opinions cannot be right or wrong. This misunderstands the nature of opinion or points of view in relation to the information which is used as the basis for opinions or points of view. Information is used for the basis of opinion, you can have an informed and uninformed opinion, and the information that can make up that opinion can in and out of itself be miscast. The inclusion of an opinion or a point of view into an evaluation of a film does not necessarily render the entire selection purely subjective. Yet this was the conclusion you clearly supported in your first post, casting the selection of Mad Max as 'opinion'.

>>77862000
Okay, I get it, but I don't think that sort of thing can be applied to art and the quality thereof the same way it can be applied to politics. Arguing politics involves bringing statistics and evidence to the table, which are both quantifiable. Art only involves opinion because people see all sorts of different things in art and none are necessarily wrong. Some people might look an aspect of a book or movie and see it as a strength, and someone else might see it as a weakness. Who is to say that either of them are right or wrong?
>>
>>77862106
And yet there is considerable scholarship on the evaluation of art and the relationship of art to the viewer. Questions such as how art can produce meaning, what forms of meaning are more valuable, and what the nature of meaning and reception within the audience form the backbone of aesthetic argument.

Simply leaving discussion of art at the level of uninformed subjective opinion might be acceptable for casual/polite discussion of art, but it borders on neglect to ignore the debates and viewpoints of artists who have discussed this topic over a very lengthy period of time. It handwaves a lot of differing viewpoints with a rather weak reliance on relativism.
>>
>>77862106
>some people might look an aspect of a book or movie and see it as a strength, and someone else might see it as a weakness.

This reminds me of the time I visited Chuck Wendig's blog and he was talking about the criticism he got for Aftermath. Apparently his writing style was not "bad," merely not a lot of people's tea.

I have to wonder at what point we're supposed to draw the line. At whatever is convenient for the author? Sounds suspect.
>>
>>77862175
Opinions, informed or not, are still just that.

Also, informed is a relative term. Informed by what? A vast knowledge of film? Okay, understandable, but there are many different outlets to extract that knowledge from that can fundamentally alter how people view films. In the simplest terms, did this person read this or that book or attend this or that college course or lecture on film? No? That doesn't make them LESS informed, that makes them DIFFERENTLY informed. They could have read different (no less informative) books and attended/listened to different (no less informative) college lectures and courses.
>>
>>77862315
Again, you're moving goalposts. Informed opinions on art are created by considering the greater dialectic within which that piece of art is placed. There is no way to characterize this aside in general terms, but in practice people will be discussing works of art not in a vacuum but in an atmosphere where their opinions and information have been shaped by discourse. Sometimes this information is consciously shown, sometimes its unconsciously formed.

Simply because something is differently informed does not mean that the opinion is equally valid. Bringing in an informed opinion on a painting's frame, with a detailed knowledge of framework and metalcrafting does not lend that opinion the same weight as somebody who knows what systems of aesthetics the painting itself might fight in.

You're trying to argue that being differently informed is sufficient to render the judgement of opinions relative. Certain information is far more relevant to the evaluation of a piece of artwork than another.

Even in your example, you're simply describing two people who would be informed about different schools of aesthetics. That does not mean that each school is equally valid, it means that the two people are operating under different systems, which might or might not be mutually exclusive depending upon the specifics of their knowledge. You are talking in generalities.

so MillenniumFalcon dropped the entire shot list, or at least what they claim to be. it's pretty much what MSW described but with some slight differences. namely, the flashback scene with Maz seems to be more in order and omits Rey entirely, focusing on young Kylo. also there is no longer a scene where Finn consoles Han as he breaks down over Kylo's identity, nor is there a scene where Kylo has an emotional moment on the Millennium Falcon after discovering it on Starkiller Base. whether or not that means these scenes were removed or added in later, or that either MSW or MF has partially false call sheets, i've got no idea.

it's very much a rather obvious throwback to ANH in terms of its story, i think JJ is just gunning for getting people back into the franchise with a simple story of good vs. evil that relies on mythical archetypes obviously rey is the new "chosen one" in the archetypal sense, luke is the "wise man in the mountain", han is the old mentor, maz is the yoda, kylo is the dark knight and hux is the tarkin, snoke is the sheev, etc. the whole first act is basically ANH verbatim in terms of its structure: figure from the [rebellion/resistance] trying to escape with [plans/lightsaber/macguffin] get captured and sends [macguffin] off with [droid/droids] on [tatooine/jakku/desert planet]. good guy gets tortured by [darth vader/kylo ren/dark knight] for information and busted out of prison. droid it finds the hero, who desperately wants to get off world, and gets his/her chance when she meets [finn/han/rogue] and [obiwan/han/old mentor], escaping from the desert planet in the millennium falcon from [imperial/first order] ships. after that the plot changes around a bit but basically throws "yoda" into the middle with the wise and diminutive force-sensitive alien and goes to not-hoth at the end which also doubles as another endor due to the "we have to take down the shields so we can blow up the super weapon!" plot

>>77864075
The Howard Stern interview with JJ made it sound like Disney basically made a ANH 2.0 to get the next generation of Star Wars fans hooked. Rey is trying to find out how the hell Luke Skywalker is and what the hell the Jedi are. Tbh i'm prepared for disappointment. Sounds kinda boring for somebody whose more familiar with SW, aside from seeing where the franchise is going. And it pretty much means the new canon will throw most of the old EU stuff overboard for good.

>but seeing how people reacted to new ideas I think playing it safe for this one is a good idea.
Dunno. If that was really the case they could have avoided a plasma sword with vents and stormtrooper with fuckhuege electro-tonfa or an updated stormtrooper design.

I'm kinda surprised that people actually got pretty used to the Stormtrooper design by now. I would have expected more complaining, especifically about that, since it's so iconic.

In a way I'm not even sure if they did themselves a favor with that. In a way it makes the material I've seen so far seem like it's not 'real' Star Wars, but maybe it's just me.
Would have been clever to tell a new story with new characters using old design clues, similar cinematography and the same visual language as the old movies. Like the trademark, cheap looking cuts...
Trying to make the new film as flashy/modern as possible with fast cuts and shaky cam is gonna backfire.

If they really didn't want to take risks they probably should have taken some popular novels like the Thrawn ones and made adaptions of those. At the very least you could have already been able to tell whether or not those stories are popular with the fanbase and didn't have to deal with the idea that 'Disney ruined SW' if they just adapted something that was already there to proof they can make a good movie SET in Star Wars, if you get my drift. Once the people trust you with the 4 billion dollar franchise do your own thing...

Long story short, I suspect this is gonna be one of those movies that tries too hard to get the 'kids' to like it while also trying to appease the old fans by being super referential.
But maybe I'm just being pessimistic, because I'm afraid of the disappointment when Disney indeed turns out to have 'forever ruined SW'.
>>
>>77865089
No one's really complaining now since the movie isn't out yet. If the movie is solid you never will either. Star Wars can be whatever it wants to be, but have it still feel like Star Wars. All the props and stories being made around it now makes me feel like nothings changed.

Unless something really bad happens, this movie probably won't fail to the general masses. Everyone will get woo'd by the weird practical aliens, zooming ships, and twists. Just like like OT. Also the PT is still around so good luck saying these are worse than those if you feel that way.[spoilers]

>Also the PT is still around so good luck saying these are worse than those if you feel that way.
Really depends on what the story is.

At it's heart Star Wars is pretty popular because the story is conceptually pretty strong imo. ANH is basically textbook storytelling/writing.
The PT had terrible direction and couldn't focus or deliver at all on any of the themes and ideas it introduced. However it did add a shitton of worldbuilding.
I'll admit TCW softens my opinion on those films, because it managed to explore those things satisfyingly.

If the new film is basically just a popcorn action flick that harks back to ANH, I feel like the lack of 'substance' would play a part in how I feel about these films.

Of course it's all speculation at this point and as I said I'm somewhat pessimistic about it. I'm really curious either way though.

The one that already crashed, at least the one we see on the map, is not the Lost Stars one, because the engines are still on. I believe the book states the engines were disabled at one point. Also seems like it didn't land nose-diving like the book described/the one in the trailer.

It's also possible the Lost Stars one happens way earlier in the battle, before the Battlefront battle got so heavy.

Evidence towards this is the fact that Lost Stars doesn't mention other other ships crashing, and doesn't mention the SSD crashing, which could be inferred to suggest that it was one of the first to fall. We see the SSD crashing during the game, so...

Until we get more info, likely in Aftermath 2, it's all speculation based on bits and pieces from Battlefront, and it fits together with Lost Stars.

>>77859023
You gotta' at least read til' the space battle anon, it gets much better from there.
It's impossible to pick out which one is from ost Stars for sure, but the one in the trailer does match the description of how it fell, right down to the tilting.

The point, anon, was that a Venator is small compared to an ISD which is small compared to an SSD.

However it's also true that Imperial- or Executor-class star destroyers not being able to land is not canon.

Some of it has. Attack of the Clones has aged the worst while The Phantom Menace has aged the best. Revenge of the Sith is middle ground, some good and some bad CGI. I still think that the CGI in the films were among the best for the time they were made in

>The scene in the Jedi temple where Anakin gets off the shuttle and exchanges banter with Obi-wan and the hallway where like 90% of conversations in the temple take place look like garbage

Basically any time no one was fighting and the backgrounds weren't as blurred, the set looked like garbage and had the effect of forcing the actors to act without actually interacting with each other, meaning everyone comes off as stiff robots.
>>
>>77866272
It's probably just a younger viewer who doesn't have the temporal context. At the time the movies blew everything else out of the water.
5 years later the technology made quite a leap.

So if you grew up on the newer stuff and go back to watch it I guess it's not quite as apparent.
Though he's not wrong, some of the sets do look quite artifical, though imo not because they were 'plastic looking', because that's just how Star Wars looks (Stormtroopers, anyone?).
It's more that often times the materials look samey, and the light doesn't match well. In some shot you can also see some things looking more blurred than others, which makes certain things look a little jarring, in particular with wide shot and mass scenes with the clones.
Though hero shots like most of the stuff with Grievous looks great. Grievous himself look great, just the backdrops are not quite up to the same standard sometimes, so when you see it next to each other is kind of takes you out of it.

All in all the cgi and compositing of foreground and background models look good enough though, that it doesn't pull you out of the movie.

Can't say the same about the dialogue.

>The parts of the Genocian Cave and Arena that are obviously CGI clash with the parts that aren't
Seeing as something like that literally can't exist, it had to be CGI'd in. However it was all practical miniatures - http://s7.directupload.net/images/140104/98twj5je.jpg

>The scene in the Jedi temple where Anakin gets off the shuttle and exchanges banter with Obi-wan and the hallway where like 90% of conversations in the temple take place look like garbage
Most of the Jedi Temple was practical sets too - http://s14.directupload.net/images/140104/gg4dkkzd.jpg

Here's some other notoriously "clean" looking locations that are actually sets;

Coruscant - http://s7.directupload.net/images/140104/br2bef27.jpg
The Ship interiors - http://s14.directupload.net/images/140104/tnm6ixvo.jpg
Dual of the Fates - http://s7.directupload.net/images/140104/lqtr29n5.jpg
CIS Ship - http://s14.directupload.net/images/140106/dadkz62a.png
Even (and I admit this surprised me too) the glossy halls and rooms of Kamino - http://s7.directupload.net/images/140106/2tff2fer.jpg

Fact is, a lot of these locations were entirely practical sets, with only the backgrounds being CGI (because space ships and volcanos kinda have to be done with CGI, duh)

And even so, a lot of it was done with practically built miniatures, on set filming in places like Italy and Tunisia, and they even filmed real volcanoes for Mustafar alongside building their own practical models and shit.
>>
>>77866395
Literally a real, fully built, practical set - http://s14.directupload.net/images/140106/dadkz62a.png

You've let your suspension of disbelief in fantasy movies die anon. It's a shame. You're not "believing" anything, and brushing it off as CGI, even though literally everything you listed and complained about was a fully built, real practical set.
>>
>>77866443
>>77866458
Wow, you're right.

I guess I just dislike the general aesthetic of the movies, but its clear a lot of work went into these sets. The miniatures still don't look quite right, but I was under the impression that they were entirely graphical, not physical with actors superimposed on them.

The reason I thought the starship hallway was cgi was because I distinctly remember the lighting being off, like there was more lighting being generated than what should have been reflected off of all the smooth surfaces, but you could achieve that affect with noting but a filter, or shit, maybe it was just my imagination.

Either way, I sit corrected.
>>
How useful are SSDs really?

The only canon SSDs we see in battle, the Executor and the Jakku SSD, both jobbed real fucking hard. Executor died from a single A-wing and all the Jakku SSD managed to do was crash as part of the NR's overwhelming victory.

And as far as non-canon SSDs go, none of them ever achieved anything of value, aside from when Lusankya was used as a giant battering ram during the Vong war.
>>
>>77866458
>literally everything you listed and complained about was a fully built, real practical set.
*Except Geonosis, which was a fully built miniature set inserted in the background because Geonosis was unavailable for on-set filming. Those pesky Geonosians.

>>77866523
Yeah, I know what you mean. The point I am getting at here was that the myth about the prequels being done entirely on bluescreen is absurd when so much effort was put into all these sets and locations to avoid doing that.

There are PLENTY of things you may dislike about the prequels. Perhaps you dislike the writing? Perhaps you don't like the story, or casting? Maybe you dislike the AESTHETIC of the locations, as you say yourself.

And that's perfectly fine, nobody has to like everything in the franchise. I personally enjoy all the movies, at least to some extent.

But there's a big difference in disliking the aesthetic, and incorrectly saying you dont like it because it's CGI, and I just feel like more people should take the time out to see for themselves, because it is a pretty big misconception at this point that the Prequels were all CGI, when they actually used much more practical effects that the Original movies.

If you, or anybody else wants to see more of the work that went into the Prequel movie sets, here is a cool link; http://boards.theforce.net/threads/practical-effects-in-the-prequels-sets-pictures-models-etc.50017310/
>>
>>77866555
They can bring lots of firepower and have huge capacity for fighters and other vehicles. It did take the entire rebel fleet concentrating their fire on the Executor to give that A-Wing the opportunity to destroy the bridge.
>>
While we're on the subject, I just wanna say that the Podracing scene might just be the greatest combination of practical effects and CGI I have ever seen. The entire scene from start to finish seamlessly merges what must have been hundreds of practical and special effects. Watched TPM recently and that scene stood out immensely to me, not just to the movie, but to the entire franchise.

It's still a drawn out sequence that doesn't progress the story. It's clear from the beginning that Anakin would win, so there's no tension at all. They should've just hired someone who would fly them to Coruscant like Obi Wan did in ANH.

We don't know what it managed to do though. We see it crash and burn, but we don't see what happened before that. (It's falling right as you spawn into the game)

For all we know, it went on a Mon Cala Cruiser killing spree and took tens of thousands of people down with it.

There are plenty of people in these threads that seem to unironically side with the Empire.

And plenty of people who dislike the Jedi.

Not so much Sith supporters though, kinda' impossible to support the Sith without looking edgy or crazy.

Oh well.. I didn't get much out of that video, I haven't caught up to that point with the series. I'm trying my best to get as much in before the new movie comes out.

Still, it seems to me that there's no "ultimate good" side, every part has their pros and cons.. but the Jedi seem kind of way too reckless imo. Just massive, unjustified genocides, bigger than the empire ones, for minuscule victories at best.
>>
>>77866874
I highly recommend you get onto finishing the series.

The context of that video is an extremely mature arc regarding a suicide bombing, and how the Jedi respond to it.

The show, especially in the later seasons, deals with the idea that maybe the Jedi aren't the good guys. Maybe they're causing more harm than good, maybe they're making mistakes, or being hypocrits.

There's entire episodes and stories told from the villains perspectives too, and even episodes where we get to see the Seperatists point of views.

The force is very black and white, but people misunderstand that, forgetting that the characters and stories don't have to be. Interesting stuff.

Are you referring to this 2D show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVk9lPotcW4 ???

Because basically, the 3D show was designed at first to be a sequel to the 2D one, to build upon/around it. But over time, the 3D one just started to replace the 2D one in general, and now the 2D one is no longer canon.

Without spoiling too much, you have a lot to look forward too anon. The Umbara episodes, the Order 66 Conspiracy episodes.

You do realise canon is just a buzzword to make autists buy the books thinking they're super high quality. It's a damn marketing ploy.

I get what you mean because at times the Sith do seem more rational than the Jedi, but they go too far with opposing the Jedi and try to become evil and that's what pushes me away from them. The Sith don't just think 'you should accept your emotions', they also think 'I should enslave people and work them to death for the satisfaction of having control over them'.

Sadly I just realized the only really rational force users are the fish things who's Queen Jar-Jar falls in love with in TCW.
>>
>>77868042
>The Sith don't just think 'you should accept your emotions'

That's exactly what the Jedi do too, though. They don't deny their emotions, they simply keep them in check and moderation. I'm not sure how people keep misinterpreting the Jedi as cold, emotionless robots when we've seen things such as happiness, bursts of anger, frustration and etc from them before. They're very much in touch with their emotions (some more than others), but they don't always let them control their actions

Is this the best thing to come out of the prequel-verse?
>>
So what was the best Star Wars RTS?

http://strawpoll.me/6159478

>>77869910
Yes, I'd say so.
>>
>>77869910
Yeah. I'd say its one of the best things to come from the entire franchise.
>>
>>77869921
Force Commander was a load of shit.
>>
>>77869910
No, TCW was an abomination made exclusively for children. It was somehow worse than the Prequels.
>>
>>77869954
True, but I suppose someone may have liked it

It's not bait. I really hated this childish show. I couldn't keep watching after that crap with Jabba's son.

>>77870192
Forced edginess an adult show does not make.

>>77870372
It's hard not to tell if you're trolling with the amount of buzzwords and non explanations youre making.

>>77869910
Was for me at least. Bounty Hunter and Republic Commando were also really awesome.

>I couldn't keep watching after that crap with Jabba's son.
Nigga thats before episode 1

You havent even watched the show. Just stop.
>>

>I couldn't keep watching after that crap with Jabba's son.

Wasn't that the clone wars movie? Everyone knows how shitty that movie was, but the later seasons of TCW are really good.

Jabba's son was just the movie. Show itself is much better. There's some hiccups in Seasons 1 and 2, but from there it becomes some of the best Star Wars stuff out there.

Can someone story time new Star Wars?

Kylo being Han and Leia's son is made explicit according to this version of the shot list, but there's nothing about Rey. we'll need dialogue for that. but the list here states that in the flashback, Han and Leia bring Kylo to train with 'his uncle" at the Jedi Academy, then Kylo joins the Knights of Ren and helps massacre the other Jedi

why is his hair sticking out from under his helmet

Can anyone storytime the New comic please?

Hey man, he's in the privacy of his own room, he can do whatever the fuck he wants.

>>77868701
we still dont know yet whose child she is, if anyone's. but it makes more sense for her to be luke's. her story arc involves her being a "loner" and a "no one" because she's living by herself on jakku, waiting for her family. if she meets han one third through the movie, that's pretty much it in terms of her goals, and yet the shot list never described any intimate family scenes between rey/han/leia. but at the end of the movie, she sets off and finds luke. it's more cinematically fulfilling if she meets her long-lost father at the end of the movie.

That's how helmets actually work with long hair that isn't tied up.

To be fair Star Wars is kind of related to Samurai Jack through the 2003 Clone Wars series.
>>
>>77872010
And Shit Wars, don't forget him. Fucking up the AS threads like crazy because he can't contain his unlimited sperg lord powers. When they were showing TCWs and Jack at the same time it was hell.

>>77874040
I'm doing everything. The movies (including the Ewok ones), all animated shows canon and Legends and yeah, the Star Wars Holiday special.

I'm at least doing the sensible thing and watching with Rifftrax.
