Well believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.

prices in japan make very little sense in relation to each other. a beer? $5. a coffee? somehow also $5. a bus ticket — you guessed it. one strawberry? $5

THIS. She becomes Mon Mothma's "Assistant" that occasionally goes and kills people on the sly.

An Andor spin-off following Kleya going on Rebel missions leading up to the Battle of Endor.

@tjm585 For sure, I just feel like what works about R1 is the absence of Space Wizards. And when one shows up, it should be pure terror. Plus, purely from a meta-perspective, that scene would have hit harder if you thought you were getting a move with no Vader. And then: the breathing.

[Ben Adams @badamsnavy]

The first scene with Darth Vader in the lava castle and the "choke" pun is an abomination.

The second scene where he comes out of darkness and is terrifying is one of the best parts of the movie, that would be even better if not for the first scene undermining the reveal.

[Maggie Lovitt @maggieofthetown]

My controversial 'Rogue One' opinion is I don't actually mind the Darth Vader scene because it leads us into 'A New Hope' and bridges the tonal gap.

[Ben Adams @badamsnavy]

It's a Law and Order style half-and-half where you've got grizzled Rebel Cops chasing down former Imperials in the Outer Rim, followed by War Crimes tribunals trying to untangle questions of responsibility under fascism, oppression, etc.

[QG Jenna 🖤 @QuiGonJenna]

If this were to get made, what era would make the most sense?

Republic? Empire? New Republic?

Either way I am seated. 👏

[Ben Adams @badamsnavy]

This is half right. The first appearance of Vader in his stupid volcano castle where he makes a pun to Krennic is the worst part of the movie. BUT when he comes at the end as this terrifying monstrosity, it hits precisely because the story has been so grounded previously.

[Hayden ✨ @mcuwaititi]

Not to be hashtag different but the more and more I watch Rogue One the more I hate that Vader is there. What da hell is a polar bear doing in Arlington Texas

[J-Boi @JboiHQ]

It turns out she just actually is the best Star Wars character of all time

[Ben Adams @badamsnavy]

Never thought about the fact that to an outside observer Jar-Jar is an arch-villain of democracy and the Rebellion would 100% want him offed.

Draven: Of course it's not good, there is no good. It's what there is. It's not nothing. It's a highly rated military target.
Mon Mothma: Which they'll rebuild again in four years.
Draven: And then we'll blow it up again! We're getting really good at it.

[Dan Star Wars Centralized 🟢 @SCentralized]

I think it’s quite funny that we’re now getting this deeply emotional, ominous, and terrifying build up to the Death Star in A New Hope and then in Return of the Jedi there’s just Another One four years later

Also, the good guys did still beat the First Order in the end? Like, I get that it turns out that the Good Guys had to beat the Bad Guys a second time, but that doesn't mean it's not important to also beat them the first time!

[Zi.Fa @ZyifaRen]

This is dumb.

History and war is cyclical. The efforts done to dismantle the Empire are not “all for naught” just because the First Order invaded and conquered the Galaxy 3 decades after. It’s a constant effort to keep fascism at bay, not just one war.

[Ben Adams @badamsnavy]

This doesn't mean the Rebellion was wrong to blow it up though.

[Ben Adams @badamsnavy]

This is right EXCEPT Andor S1 makes clear that the Empire made use of slave labor to build the Death Star. Which always made sense because how else do you keep the thing a secret - paid laborers will want to eventually go home and they will blab.

[Paul's Psychic Artilleryman 🟢🟡🟢🟡🛰️🟢 @ironcrakka]

you have lost the plot if you are arguing that someone who works on the death star didn't know what it was for, or was secretly a good person. i will not be accepting any arguments of this nature

[Ben Adams @badamsnavy]

Just saw an episode where McCoy prosecutes one guy, then arrests someone else for the same crime, but refuses to drop the charges for the first guy because "He's up to something!"

[gfodor.id @gfodor]

Not like this. Not like this.

[Ben Adams @badamsnavy]

I don't understand. They came up with the perfect formula for future Predator movies "What if the Predator, but in [insert historical period]." They could make those once a year for decades and never run out of options! Samurai! The Middle Ages! Genghis Khan!

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

First look at ‘PREDATOR: BADLANDS’

The film follows an outcast Predator and aims to answer the question “What if The Predator was a good guy?”
