I completely forgot about the Laeta Kalogridis project, oops

Maybe it's just the lighting, but the Mandalorian armor looks a LOT more silver and less red in recent photos than what I've seen before. The shoulder guard is different too.
Maybe he gets it cleaned up.
Favreau said he changes his armor throughout the series.

The second picture is before he upgrades his armor.
I think its starts shooting this october.
So yeah... 2020 if its follows the same shooting schedule as the first season.
Oh nice. I was thinking that 2020 was going to be a total gap year for Star Wars.
I think I've decided that I like The Force Awakens more than The Last Jedi. I go back and forth constantly but I think Awakens is more consistent
I watched Last Jedi again the other day and had the opposite reaction. I think I just like whichever I have seen more recently more. They are both so damn good.
Consistently bland after the first act (minus the Rey/Kylo stuff at the end and the vision).
This might be controversial but uuhh...
I think the Rahtar section is worse than the Canto Bight section.
Both are the the weakest part of each ST movie tho.

*live action Star Wars
Same
I like that Rey and Finn are so front and center. Plus I think it's a funnier movie. And just more fun overall.
While not the best scene I think it's badness is overstated. A least we get to see Han up to his old tricks .. and there's some great reaction shots between him and Chewie. And there's a bit of world building with the other smuggler factions.
Yeah, Rey and Finn are so good in TFA and I'm excited for TROS since they are back together in full along with Poe this time.
Yeah it aint bad, It just stands out more because the rest of the movie is so good.
Kylo pulling the lightsaber from the snow only for it to fly past him and the camera reveal that it was Rey pulling it is one of my favorite moviegoing moments.
Kylo killing Snoke and then silently teaming up with Rey to take on the praetorian guards was a really good one too though.

I saw TFA 13 times in theaters, whereas I only saw TLJ 4 times. I still like TLJ much more and it contextualized a lot of the faults of TFA for me. TFA was definitely a more rewatchable film, but I think partly because it was more shallow and unknowable.
It was hard to get a full grasp on the characters and the story because there was so little there that was explicitly defined and the pacing was so breathless. Granted I don't think that is a problem, and it speaks to some of the movie magic behind concepts like the mystery box. I could return time and again because it was always just beyond reach. It was like eating a tasty meal but never getting full.
With TLJ I feel like I simply got it the second time around. The first time was dealing with my "subverted expectations" (I did not see anything coming) and grappling with that, and the second time solidified the themes and characters. Everything was clear and important things felt defined. I was satisfied, which is partly why it was a little hard to feel hyped for TROS coming out. I felt like I finished my metaphorical meal.
JJ has always emulated Spielberg, and I think that's true for TFA. I feel like the pacing and spirit of the film is closer to Indiana Jones than the Originals Trilogy. Take the Rathtar sequence, it feels more like a recreation of the boulder scene, or any other run and bumble scene, than the trash compactor. Finn's bumbling and the humor and gags feel more like Indy than Han. Similarly, the First Order and the villains are tonally more like the Nazis than the Empire. Ditto with JJ's macguffins, the characters are racing to find a thing (Luke, the lightsaber, surely something similar in TROS).

I agree, it felt like it was ripped right out of a licensed video game from the mid 2000s.
Now I'm wondering if his inevitable Star Wars Black Series figure will be the old armor, newer armor, or a combo-set of interchangeable parts...
It will be the starting armor and an exclusive variant with the newer armor, of course.
This really shocked me too, TFA is just more consistent as a film from start to finish, and the mains interact more. It's just more fun, and the script is much, much tighter (near perfect really).
I'm reading p
Mandolorian season 2
what's kinda cool about going to alamo drafthouse is that they play pre show stuff related to whatever feature you see. so yeah, would be dope if they added a bunch of culminating shots/scenes from the 8 films leading up to episode 9 in the theater. would be dope.
Trying to get my book legs back under me in prep for the onslaught of Journey to 9 stuff about to slam into our wallets ... so I've started Phasma, and so far so good.
Been having a hard time with the books this year
I listened to Dooku earlier this year, and it was ...... bizarre? Not great? VERY WEIRD? The audiodrama format was not fun. Needs a lot of improvement for the next time they utilize it.
I read that Myths and Fables book a few weeks ago and it was... whatever, super filler. The first chapter about sandpeople was awful. It makes me nervous for the plot of the Obi-Wan show, bc ya know sandpeople are potentially all over that ... and fucking I'm not interested in sandpeople at all.
There were maybe 2 or 3 ok stories out of the 9. This was on par with that Legends of Luke book, which was the same, with about 25% of the book being any good.
I'm halfway through Master and Apprentice and yeah, I hate to say it but it's not grabbing me.

We're now on that "one dimensional characters are always bad" galaxy brain shit.
Yea, I mean, he's one-dimensional BY DESIGN because he's not the focus!
That was insanely good.
Also happy that they're using the D23 thing as a trailer, the less new footage from the movie the better. People will go see this movie to see the end as long as they play teasers everywhere, it doesn't matter which one. Of course we'll get a final trailer, but little bits of new footage are all that's needed. And hopefully The Mandalorian becomes a "cooler talk" type show like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, because people will just want more Star Wars in their lives.
Combine those with Triple Force Friday and I think we will be seeing/hearing about Star Wars pretty consistently.
Mar had to go private and has a lawyer now since people are going after her personally. This fandom.
People are harassing her because she lived tweeted watching Star Wars for the first time.
Now people are harassing her and going after her irl.
I mean she didn't post the conversations but she said they have her address. They're upset that she is a fan of Reylo and started watching because of an image of them together.
