@JoeBashCreates @DillosDiz Oh wow! I’ve never seen this one… or “A Christmas Story 2”. I’ve got some catching up to do

[Mel Dale @meldalecomics]

Hello… does this thing still work? <wipes away multiple inches of dust>

[Mel Dale @meldalecomics]

Fun Dillo Association: “My Summer Story” features Kieran Culkin as Ralphie… who also played Fuller in Home Alone (the bed wetting cousin of Kevin McCallister)

[Mel Dale @meldalecomics]

Because the sequel was made 11 years after the first movie, all of the major characters had to be recast for “My Summer Story”

@DillosDiz HOT DIGGITY DOG!!! I can’t believe it, there’s actually a Fact Checker Update for S3E43!!! @SisterHazelBand is incorrectly referred to as an “Orlando-Based” band. It’s a small detail, but the group is actually from Gainesville, FL

@FrankMCardillo I really appreciate Rian Johnson’s (insightful) criticisms of SW throughout TLJ. I can’t say enough how that aspect of TLJ reconnected me to SW at a time when I was pretty over the whole franchise. Specific call outs: Luke training Rey, Yoda & Luke convo, Kylo in the throne room.

@FrankMCardillo I love The Last Jedi SO much! Easily my second favorite Star Wars movie.

[Mel Dale @meldalecomics]

@DillosDiz @FrankMCardillo What?!? “The movie is just not that good”?!? I love Dick Tracy! I think it has aged really well, and it is still one of my favorite movies. I couldn’t disagree with that last line more.

@DillosDiz Fact Checker Update S2E3: According to their website, there is no Shula’s Steakhouse in the state of New York. I haven’t found an exact closing date for the NYC location the Dillos refer to, but @ShulasNYC hasn’t tweeted in four years. https://t.co/jV3zqvbXdW

@FrankMCardillo @DillosDiz It’s so cool seeing these prototypes piping up in the wild. I have an all gray, “J Back” (fan made) prototype Rocket Firing Boba Fett. I can’t tell you how therapeutic it is during that rocket.

@DillosDiz I don’t think we know enough yet to assume the Disney era SW references to the “Whills” matches Lucas’ abandoned idea. But it does certainly appear inspired by it (in name at least).

[Mel Dale @meldalecomics]

@DillosDiz Fact Checker Update S2E3 (1 of 4): Sister Dillo refers to the Star Wars lore that at the end of the saga, it would eventually be revealed that all of the stories we've seen are actually R2-D2 retelling the tales to another person in the future.

[Mel Dale @meldalecomics]

@DillosDiz Fact Checker Update S2E3 (4 of 4): This idea was apparently thrown out when Lucas abandoned the idea of the "Whills" (a precursor to midichlorians) being the controllers of the Force in the Star Wars canon. However, other writers have referenced the Whills in the SWEU.

[Mel Dale @meldalecomics]

@DillosDiz Fact Checker Update S2E3 (3 of 4): "Originally, I was trying to have the story be told by somebody else; there was somebody watching this whole story and recording it, somebody probably wiser than the mortal players in the actual events" - George Lucas

@jenillo @DillosDiz @FrankMCardillo The fact of the matter is, whether you or @FrankMCardillo consider DisneyQuest a theme park or not is irrelevant. Disney called it an indoor theme park, and marketed it under that concept. It was a theme park.

[Mel Dale @meldalecomics]

@DillosDiz Fact Checker Update S2E1 - @FrankMCardillo alluded to the possibility of a 5th WDW Gate with “VR” attractions. Technically Disney already opened (and closed) a WDW park matching this description: RIP DisneyQuest https://t.co/hPIOe1ep5H

@DillosDiz @jenillo Aw geez! It’s been a year already?!?
