Unpopular opinion: Both of these moments are important, character-defining moments for Luke Skywalker. Both are extremely well executed, and each serve their purpose well. Both left me in awe.

@ZakJac_wx It should have been anyway, hate its kinda underperformed at the box office. I had a good time with it

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

I really enjoyed Mando & Grogu, but I would’ve been totally fine if it had just been a Disney Plus release. This movie is what really excites me,

I can’t believe that we’re already exactly one year away from yet ANOTHER new Star Wars movie. Especially one that takes place after the events of The Rise Of Skywalker!

Used to pray for times like these. We’ve seriously never been more back, can’t wait for Starfighter!

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

@ZakJac_wx That is a great point, Favreau has already worked on Mando for years. That’s really your best shot to get something in theatres with everything else being brand new

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

@FantasyChamps15 @StarWarsExplain That makes sense.

But, since Mando & Grogu has been a disappointment from a box office standpoint (feel like Lucasfilm/Disney probably wasn’t anticipating that to happen), the pressure is probably going to be there anyway

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

I rewatched it a few days ago for the first time in a hot minute, it’s still awesome. It was never going to be better than Raiders or Last Crusade, but I think it definitely rivals Temple of Doom. Easily clears Crystal Skull imo.

With THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU in theaters, scratching that pulpy Lucasfilm adventure itch, I have been thinking a lot about INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY as it approaches its third anniversary.

People were way too harsh on this movie.

I understand why audiences may have been hesitant. Set leaks involving Roman soldiers made people nervous about the time-travel element, while the usual culture-war crowd spent months insisting Helena was going to replace Indy by the end of the movie.

That obviously did not happen.

What we actually got was one final adventure with a man who spent his entire life trying to understand history, only to reach the end and realize he no longer understood where he fit into it.

That is what made the movie work for me.

Indy does not know he is going on a time-travel adventure at the beginning. He is just an old man who has lost too much, feels left behind by the modern world, and gets pulled into another hunt for an artifact.

Then, at the end, he finally gets the one thing he has chased his entire life: the chance to actually live inside history.

And he wants to stay there.

I also love how much it feels like a spiritual companion to TEMPLE OF DOOM. It is strange, pulpy, darker than people expected, and far more emotional than it was given credit for.

By the time Marion walks back into that apartment at the end, I was tearing up like crazy.

Was it the financial hit Disney wanted? No.

But as a final Indiana Jones adventure, I think *Dial of Destiny* is quite wonderful.

I really wish more people had given it a fair chance.

@IlGlaz The puppeteers deserve all the credit in the world!!

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

@IlGlaz Insane how well a nonverbal alien puppet is that likable

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

There really isn’t much to spoil tbh 😂

[Drew Bricks (fell for the soup) @DrewBricks]

I like how the general consensus of The Mandalorian & Grogu is that it’s not good enough to tweet with spoiler warnings

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

@ehyeahwhatever @JboiHQ I’m 28. I grew up on the special editions- I didn’t even know they were altered as a kid. I still enjoy them. The muclunkey thing cracked me up- it’s hilarious to me that George never stopped tinkering.

I still think there’s room for the unaltered versions on current formats

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

@JamesPPoole This is a good way to describe it actually😂😂 I mean both halves work for me, getting from 1 to the other was just a bit clunky

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

@bejeweledmothma Filoni played a New Republic pilot before M&G. I didn’t bat an eye at his inclusion

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

Music was excellent too. Very unique compared to the rest of the Star Wars movies, but it all works for the movie and these characters. Everything about this movie feels like an extension of the show, for better or worse.

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

Pros:
-Action is INCREDIBLE
-Creatures everywhere
-Rotta
-Grogu shines- it’s his movie too
-It’s fun. Feels kinda Indiana Joney to me

Cons:
-It’s safe
-New Republic era isn’t pushed forward
-No dramatic changes to the characters
-Clunky transition to the final act

#TheMandalorianAndGrogu time

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

It’s what I expected- no a profound message, no canon-altering stakes. Grogu does get some growth, but it’s more of a fun, summer block buster. Honestly an odd (but safe) choice for Star Wars’ return to theaters. Overall it’s good though. I look forward to a rewatch!

#TheMandalorianAndGrogu time

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

This isn’t very surprising given the mixed initial reviews. Interested to see what the general consensus of the fans ends up being, the audience score

The kind folks at Burger King let me purchase a cup by itself. The set is complete.

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

Going back 2 more times to finish collecting the cups is calling to me…

[Star Wars Galore @swgalore]

@JboiHQ @ehyeahwhatever To my knowledge, the unaltered versions have been released officially 1 time since the special editions came out in the mid-90s: a DVD that came out in 2006. It’s been 20 years. With blu ray / 4K available now, I’d LOVE another official release
