  1. TBF it's not "self-manufactured". RJ potentially ruined a promising-looking trilogy by trying to be edgy, pandering to real-life subjects even if Star Wars has always been somewhat political, and seeking to "subvert expectations" at every turn. He forgot the ole "fool me once" saying when it comes to that, though. TLJ being whoop-diddy-scoop poop doesn't change childhood memories, but it does sour a once-religious following of a storied franchise for a lot of people. My local ticket sales reflect that.
  2. Clean and press bumped it up higher than my accurate grade. I hate the label, but, noice!
  3. That's my reaction. No way they can literally receive thousands, can they? I could buy "hundreds".
  4. What I would like to see: Kylo Ren not turn to the 'light'. Maybe disown the name Kylo Ren because he finds out the other Knights of Ren work closely with the Emperor. Palpatine didn't keep Kylo close because he sensed the 'light' in him and feared another Vader situation (betrayal). Snoke was a pawn of Sidious and his fears (obviously) became reality. Ben Solo kills the Knights of Ren to earn/force status as Darth Sidious' new apprentice (his temper could easily fuel this). Maybe "The Rise of Skywalker" as Ben uses it as his surname, instead of Solo, because he loved Leia and was trained by Luke. Maybe Palpatine created Rey to be the next Vader, and that's why she's such a Mary Sue...? Ben wants to kill Rey, but Palpatine thinks he can turn her more than him (despite his desire to be dark side), so he interferes? Ben kills Sidious because he's sick of all the Dark Side drama and want to be the King of Evil. Rey kills Ben and the Dark Side is officially dead. To keep the balance, Rey has a Force Aneurysm and join the other Jedi in death.
  5. Force-sensitivity is bio-genetic, but is it synth-genetic? I don't think so.
  6. Spawn. Why? Appearance. Demonic powers. Highly skilled tactician. BBC.
  7. I thought he said "super" (Batman ain't super) and "hero" (Galactus ain't a hero)?
  8. It depends on a lot of things. My LCSs are almost completely devoid of anything pre-Bronze Age.
  9. This is true, but, IMO it's easier to made a D-list team into a successful venture than a single character.
  10. If that happens - you're right. I'm thinking (and hoping) it doesn't. JJ is only a co-writer after all, so he's had some help on the story creative side. I simply know that it'll be visually stunning and well-directed. Well-written? TBD. At least there will be a lightsaber duel...
  11. Hopefully he gets paid to sleep?
  12. I got my tickets for opening weekend, though. 2nd row () for that Saturday afternoon, and perfect seats for Sunday afternoon.
  13. Not that I'm aware of. My understanding is that "the Midichlorians" are some form of background gods, basically.
