Hope they live stream all of the panels like the last two celebrations. I can pretty much sit at my computer and have free star wars entertainment all weekend. Make an event out of it.
Didn't they not live stream a handful of panels like time? I remember being annoyed that some of them weren't being shown.
I also remember the art panel having a terrible set up so no one watching it could see the art. lol
No. Kylo could use him against her through a lie. Finn being saved by Rey is a bad idea
Oh of course, they don't stream everything, and not all of the panels stream equally well. But most of the bigger panels on the main stage work really well. You can find tons of archives on YT from the previous years. I've been surprised that they do it all for free. They could probably charge for it like Blizzcon does for online access and SW fans would eat it up (I shouldn't give them any ideas)
She looked pretty hot in her last scene too ehWatching A New Hope on TNT. Shoutout to Luke Skywalker's aunt Beru for being the only person in Star Wars rocking the blue jean jacket look. #icon
I love how Luke has her exact same haircut in Return of the Jedi.Watching A New Hope on TNT. Shoutout to Luke Skywalker's aunt Beru for being the only person in Star Wars rocking the blue jean jacket look. #icon
Also, using this as an excuse to bring up denym.
Wow I've never noticed this and ANH is my fav movieWatching A New Hope on TNT. Shoutout to Luke Skywalker's aunt Beru for being the only person in Star Wars rocking the blue jean jacket look. #icon
Daisy's not that great of an actress. She's serviceable but she's not Adam, that's for sure.
It's kind of insane how much Adam puts in the work for Kylo these past two movies
She's not as talented as Adam but I think she's better than just serviceable.
Luke wore denim too, just sand-color:

I definitely disagree that Daisy is just serviceable, she definitely has outperformed any of the other leads (not that its too hard), and comparing her to Adam is a bit unfair. She has done great so far, IMO.
The season finale for Resistance was really good, the series have been consistently more enjoyable for me than Rebels early seasons. Resistance really benefits from focusing on its own story and character in a less explored time frame, movie characters side adventures and Dave Filonis weird force lore have never interested me as much.

I finally got around to finishing Thrawn Alliances this week. It turns out being bedridden with flu is handy for getting through old books.
My feelings echo most of the others I've read in older iterations of this thread . A definite downgrade after Thrawn. The structure is quite repetitive with Anakin and Thrawn turning up at Batuu, then Padme, then Vader and Thrawn. I was intrigued by the main mystery the book sets up, but ultimately it felt quite underwhelming. I'd be up for seeing more of the Grysks again though.
The squabbling between Vader and Thrawn was definitely the highlight of the book. I'm hoping for more from Treason though.

I wish the author weren't so hesitant to portray Thrawn and the Empire in a bad light, non of the other canon books shys away from showing how amoral the Empire is at its core. Rebels handeld it better and straight up called out Thrawns warmongering and colonialism.
I'm finally almost done myself. It finally started getting me interested and page turning when the mysteries were revealed. Like okay there's a point to this finally. But man getting there (at least 2/3s of the book) was tough.
Speaking of which...
Chiss force sensitivity restrictions are kinda stupid and conflict with my entire concept of the force being this universal energy and not just a generic term for magic that comes in different forms. I mean there's light and dark but I guess chiss are like the "techno side" or something? Idk... Maybe I need to finish the book to understand it better. Or maybe Thrawn is lying. Hopefully it's that.
Yo we got people saying Ridley ain't as good as Driver? That she's not that good of an actress and that she's.. serviceable?
Fuck all that.
She was a little tight in TFA in the beginning portions of the movie with some of her line delivery (her tenseness was noted by herself and other cast members in EP7). But aside from a few scenes she's easily been as good as Driver in the ST. All of the torture sequence.. her confrontation with Kylo at the end of TFA..
She was nothing short of phenomenal throughout TLJ.
You all disappoint me.

It's funny even though I loved the chemistry and energy Abrams got from the cast in TFA (which really should NOT be underestimated), I do think RJ got better performances overall from the ensemble.

To think this guy went on to voice The Joker.
So good.
They're both good directors. It's a little unfair to compare IMO because naturally the crew is going to feel more comfortable with the project and with each other. Not to discredit RJ because he did a phenomenal job with the actors.
Remember. RJ got an amazing performance out of Bruce Willis in Looper.
Which is pretty amazing these days.

There is a pretty clear difference between the two portrayals. I remember it feeling quite jarring going from Thrawn in Zahn's first canon novel to his appearance in Rebels. At times you almost forget he's supposed to be a villain when reading the books.
Agreed. I think people tend to notice it a bit more with Driver because his character is more emotionally conflicted. But if Ridley had played Kyla Ren or whatever she would have been just as impressive as Driver.
Yup. Whenever Daisy gets emotional scenes she matches his performance.
Driver also has a much different personality than Star Wars has ever had on screen before. Most villains in SW are cold, calculating and cruel. There's only like 30 minutes tops when Anakin lets real hate flow, but the rest of the series is just masterminds. An angry, out of control villain is a new thing for the series and Driver does it so well that it's no wonder he gets most of the attention.
I think Daisy does the most she can do with the character, especially in VIII, where she really sold her character's internal struggles. Mark and Adam have the showiest scenes (and honestly some of the better written ones) so they shine through the most. I think everyone is good though. John was probably my favorite actor in VII, actually. At the end of the day, everyone seems to really enjoy themselves and are having fun.
Which is a stark contrast with how obviously miserable some of the actors are in the Prequel trilogy..

This is a different type of observation for a typically male-focused franchise, but they really deserve credit for nailing Rey's makeup. My wife and I both commented during the movie that they did an incredible job making her look gorgeous despite being a character who wouldn't wear stereotypical makeup. Super kudos to that team.
While the episode was pretty good, I don't like the ending of Resistance because it puts them away from the Resistance (I understand they had to since we don't see them in TLJ) which means the the part I think is most interesting about this show, exploring the Resistance, will probably be put in the backburner in season 2 again.[/spoiler]
Resistance season one was most likely written some time before TLJ released so they had to play it safe.
Very good point!
Also where the hell are they taking the ship?????
And is it just me or is seeing space around the Colossus just feel more....Star Warsy? I am glad to get out of the ocean with the sunny skies.
