Resistance Reborn Spoiler
When the book introduces Orrimaarko, I'm like who? Then they mention he has an eyepatch and was at the battle of Endor and I'm like PRUNE FACE!
it's a little surprising to see him still there. Two stars of The Last Jedi,Daisy Ridley and Kelly Marie Tran, quit social media because of all the abuse they endured from trolls, and Johnson has been the target of angry Star Wars fans who declare his contribution to be borderline sacrilegious. "I get leagues more positive stuff from Twitter than negative stuff," he says about his fan interactions online. "And in terms of experiencing some of the darker stuff, anyone who's online in 2019 who does anything — it's just part of the culture now." As for that darker stuff, if you Google "Rian Johnson petition," you'll find the following at change.org: "Fire Rian Johnson from writing and directing the new Star Wars trilogy"; a petition "demanding a remake of episode 8"; and a petition that simply aims, by some leverage as yet unclear, to force Johnson "to admit that The Last Jedi is awful."
He's still in talks to write and direct three (!) more Star Wars films, and he recently
Knives Out: "Come for the grand cast, stay for a classical whodunit … Hilarity and sheer ingenuity … Goodness, what a delight."
"I'll take that," he says, warming to the exercise. "After the past few years, this feels good."
Lmao. This has to be somebody from ERA.
WHY WON'T HE JUST ADMIT IT

The final paragraph of the article made me sad.This is quite good to see. Generally the negative minority will usually shine brighter because they tend to shout the loudest but it is just that, a minority. RJ is a treasure and I've loved every movie of his I've seen.
Finished Resistance Reborn, I was a bit down on it at first but I really got into it about half way through. I do wish that Rey was featured more, though.
They could've had her helping outI don't mind it, I feel like her storyline would overshadow the Resistance building up again.
Neat!I'm a lurker and have been for many years (incl old place) and just wanted to say how truly awesome you all are in this hangout. It's so damn refreshing to hear positive, fun, incredibly interesting and downright hilarious Star Wars stuff instead of the relentless onslaught of negativity everywhere else.
Seriously, thanks!
Welcome. Feel free to pipe in whenever. I lurked her for years and then slowly started posting. Now it's largely the only place I post just because it's a mostly comfortable, chill space to post while the TROS hype builds.I'm a lurker and have been for many years (incl old place) and just wanted to say how truly awesome you all are in this hangout.

They could've had her helping outPoe at the party, I think. She didn't have to stay on the Falcon and essentially be Episode I's Obi-Wan.
All the Poe and Finn stuff was cool, wanted that for my homegirl.

This is why I'm not going to get it, I was hoping for something like Labyrinth of Evil.Finished Resistance Reborn. Was a little disappointing. Was kind of expecting something to set up The Rise of Skywalker, and instead it felt like a side story to reconnect with characters from the books.
And Rey was barely in it.

Thinking of flying to the US so I can steal one of y'all identity and watch Mandalorian tomorrow
Yoda: time It is for you, to look past a pile of old books, hmmmWas this really on purpose? I mean, why was Luke wearing "the white robes of the Jedi" years into his exile?
Are we going to spoiler tag Mandalorian stuff in here tomorrow? I won't even be able to watch until the afternoon
Unless...unless...I watched while at work...but...no...
God damn, it's crazy how much the Mary Sue stuff got overblown. I'm rewatching TFA after like a year plus. You can argue that it's due to the falcon being old, but as soon as it takes off Rey almost crashes it. This comes after she's convincing herself, "I can do this", while trying to use her experience as a pilot and improvising how all the controls work.
As soon as they start flying, Finn shouts at her to stay low, because it confuses their tracking. Rey then says.. what? OK going low.
As they're flying, Finn again shouts at her "WE NEED COVER". She then looks for cover and sees crashed remains on the surface.
After Rey tells Finn to start firing back, he asks her "are the shields up?" She then throws the co-pilot switch to engage the shields.
She's constantly being aided as she pilots the falcon, but I honestly never heard this discussed even way back in the day.
She also drags the falcon on the ground, in the sand, during the chase and crashes into ship debris.
Clearly, she's also incredibly gifted and uses the Force to do crazy shit, like pilot inside of the destroyer and stalling out for Finn to line up his shot, but so much of this got ignored within all those arguments.
"Officer, we arrested this man at the border attempting to kill someone and steal their identity"
"Why?"
"So he could watch the Mandalorian on Disney+"
"................Yeah? Good"

The hidden argument behind the Mary Sue argument is the rejection of genetic superiority, imo. How many people who use that term to describe Rey's prowess would have been satiated by Rey being a Skywalker genetically gifted with flight and skill?God damn, it's crazy how much the Mary Sue stuff got overblown.

I just rewatched Rogue One and that shit hurted bro
Especially Chirrut and Baze
If anyone objects I'll edit it out, but this is a spoiler from Fallen Order that isn't a big spoiler for the game itself but I found it to be a pretty mind blowing link from the old EU to The Force Awakens.
Starkiller Base is Ilum, the snow planet with Yoda and Padme from the Clone Wars cartoon.
