Sci-Fi and Fantasy Thread - SPOILERS

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I dont want any major characters from the movies involved. Its a massive galaxy. Lets keep exploring it and meeting new characters.

That's what was so great about the animated series, especially "Clone Wars" - the constant inventiveness. When Lucas got out of the way, that is. In that interview I watched it sounded like Lucas gave Filoni a real crash course on filmmaking and film history, which is fantastic.

I'm not sure we see Ahsoka again in this series, she will more than likely get her own spin-off and I believe that might already be in the works.

I'm also fairly certain that we're going to see Luke in this series in some capacity. It could just be a matter of Mando and The Child showing up to Luke's school as it starts to burn and "Luke" is off in the background. As I was typing that though it made me think more and the timeline doesn't really match up. That's something like twenty or so years from happening from when The Mandalorian takes place so maybe not.

That's fine. I think giving her her own series works better, tbh. I do know there had been talk about another season of Rebels (sort of) that tracks her and Sabine looking for Ezra. Seeing Thrawn again would also be cool. He's still my favorite character from the extended universe, even if they did erase the original Thrawn storyline. If they meet another Jedi, I wouldn't be surprised to see Quinlan Vos. I'd think it's too soon after the fall of the Empire to have a newly trained Jedi show up.

Is yoda still alive? I don’t remember him dying.

Not sure if serious...

I’ve said this for years. Star Wars if anything, has one of the biggest, emptiest, pool to make movies from. You don’t need Luke or Han, just call it “A Star Wars universe movie” and you would be golden.
Think of a The Godfather, but with Hutts. Think of Oceans Eleven, but on Coruscant(or however you spell that rich planet. Think of Apocalypse Now, but with imperial AT-AT troopers.
I swear to god I should be getting paid for this shit.

Yes. Serious. I’m not a Star Wars guy and I don’t remember nor do I remember how far in the future (if at all) the series is set.

He died in the middle of Return of the Jedi from old age.

This is gonna put a major wrench in our Ocean's Eleven style casino heist partnership.

He passed away in RotJ. He was also a force ghost in The Last Jedi and at the end of RotJ.

The Mandalorian takes place five years after Return of the Jedi and twenty five years before The Force Awakens.

Thanks. I do not remember that.

No it’s not. Oceans Eleven type heists require a wide range of skill sets. Otherwise you would have 6 clooneys and 5 Pitts

And trust. I don't know if I can trust a non Star Wars guy.

You can trust I won’t say that Star Trek is better

If you're a Trekkie then we're good. I never got into it too much like my best bud but I appreciate the masterpiece that it is.

Hi.

Oh no. I think trek is worse than wars by a large margin. I can watch wars I cannot watch trek.

Oh man we're running out of SciFi franchises.

 

[Chinatown88]

Hi.

But you have a nerd cave/collection and we have nerd agreed on various other things.

Aliens. Predator. Terminator.

Ok, got it. I don't even think it's horrendous or anything. It's just the very definition of mediocre with the caveat that I have seen nothing after Phantom Menace. I was dragged to a midnight showing of that opening night and that was the end of that discussion for the rest of time.

I've never been hardcore enough to do midnight showings. When I see it I see it and I avoid spoilers.

Now this is some crazyness.

This is not all of my dvds, and these were moved from the wife loading them into a readynas thingy and putting them back like a barbarian.

I've seen all but Solo of the recently released films at "midnight." I put midnight in quotes because they now do showings at like 7PM on Thursdays.

Reserved seating makes these things a piece of cake.
