@obiwanidala BIG CONGRATS!!

[benjamin 🔜 SWCLA @omegasbatch]

let it be known that if we see a Jedi 3 reveal at SGF this week I will actually go insane

Star Wars genuinely wouldn’t be what it is today without her, this is so sad — I hope she rests well

[Star Wars @starwars]

Everyone at Lucasfilm was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Marcia Lucas. One of three Oscar-winning editors who worked on Star Wars: A New Hope, she also contributed to American Graffiti, among other early Lucasfilm productions. We join the global filmmaking community in mourning her loss.

guys this new 007 game is soooo good

[benjamin 🔜 SWCLA @omegasbatch]

love that we’re seeing more director and the jedi clips hitting the timeline, I adore the insights that doc offers

Rian is 100% right too. If Luke had delivered Yoda his lightsaber from the Clone Wars in Empire, Yoda would've bonked him on the head with it and thrown it in the swamp.

Rey's dialogue-less intro with Williams' theme gets me everytime

ten minutes into my booksmart rewatch, I forgot how much I love this movie

[benjamin 🔜 SWCLA @omegasbatch]

oh yeah also ludwig goransson… may both sides of your pillow be cold for eternity, you bodied that

[olive 🩵 @ct_girlie]

is it the best movie ever? no. did i have fun watching it? yes. do i have critiques of it? yes. do i have positive things to say about it? yes. can we please for the love of god find a middle ground here where we don't accuse everyone of being toxically positive or negative

[benjamin 🔜 SWCLA @omegasbatch]

@camandfilm wouldn’t have expected this to be the project the lucasfilm marketing department went sicko mode on but hey I’ll take it

[benjamin 🔜 SWCLA @omegasbatch]

for all of the pejorative comments about so-called theme park movies, mando and grogu is a rare film which would’ve been better if it had leaned even further into the vibes of an animatronic-heavy dark ride at a disney park

a diva, an icon, the moment

with that being said, there’s a fair amount of this movie that doesn’t really work for me — I’m not gonna yuck anyone’s yum, everyone grades on their own curve and whatnot — but imo even as *just* a fun summer movie, much of what’s here is worthy of criticism

[benjamin 🔜 SWCLA @omegasbatch]

mando and grogu: I had a decent amount of fun! there’s some cool art design on show, and one truly lovely sequence in the back half that gave me the feeling of star wars magic I’ve missed seeing on the big screen

where is frog lady? is she safe?? is she alright???

[benjamin 🔜 SWCLA @omegasbatch]

oh how I miss the 7pm thursday night screenings from when I lived in new york 😭

[beth 🫧🌟 TWICE DAY!! @lukescarif]

star wars fans in the uk watching everybody else get the movie today

[benjamin 🔜 SWCLA @omegasbatch]

t-minus 19ish hours until I find out for myself why i’m seeing oomfs grant rotta the hutt “hear me out” status

[Really not sure @jetinarround]

My personal favorite example. This Imperial working on the damaged Rebel comms could have just recited the information the characters in the scene needed normally but instead she was written to nerd out a bit about the rebel setup. Gives her character and makes for a funny moment
