  1. YellowSubmarine

    James Cameron's Avatar movies discussion thread.

    I enjoyed this one significantly more on a rewatch. I think all three were better on a rewatch, as one could better appreciate them, but for me the difference here is significant. The similarities to previous films get lost in the details. Second time round, I adored every bit of detail in...
  2. YellowSubmarine

    James Cameron's Avatar movies discussion thread.

    I'd say that bothered me quite a bit, it's not a problem for casual viewers because this was good, but since I love to watch these films a lot, recycling more 5-10 or more minutes of dialogue from the previous two films and that's excluding the catch phrases, was a bit too much on the nose...
  3. YellowSubmarine

    James Cameron's Avatar movies discussion thread.

    There was speculations, rumours or at least fan wishes of setting part of a future movie on Earth, to address the elephant in the room with the situation there, even Neytiri being hooked up in a hospital situation kind of made me think of that. I never thought it was possible to visit with...

    James Cameron's Avatar movies discussion thread.

    That looks absolutely incredible, I also see the speculations followed by rumours appear to have been true and that is nice since it's how I wanted the imagine the story would continue, though the trailer does (at least) appear to be out of order to conceal the actual chain of events overall...

    Spoilers Andor - Season 2

    The tone of the shows themselves does not preclude character crossovers without hurting the tone of this show, given that everyone is at Yavin IV. The characters are not defined by the tone of the show they were in. Especially in a quick appearance, when now that the rebels are coming together...

    Spoilers Andor - Season 2

    I wouldn't put it past the Empire to have gone after Mon Mothma's family after she escaped, and for Jung's involvement in it after he helped her escape by reporting on the ISB agent in Bail's team, and presumably helping keep the broadcast of her speech. But I find it unlikely we'll see that...

    Spoilers Skeleton Crew [Spoiler Discussion]

    I greatly appreciate the depiction of how a planet's main business has been ran by mindless droids, who cannot handle a simple missing person's case, let alone notice the Republic no longer existing, and they are running the mint for nobody, probably building more vaults as the money don't go...

    Spoilers Skeleton Crew [Spoiler Discussion]

    Technically yes, but this was better this way. The unknown factor, and most mysterious and unexpected thing was what emergency hull demolition would actually be. Since a very shallow reading would imply the hull would detonate and take out whichever thing was attacking the hull, implying the...

    Spoilers Skeleton Crew [Spoiler Discussion]

    And that. Also in-universe. Jod now doesn't know if SM-33 just wink-wink told me the children were indeed from At Attin or not, but the droid said it in a way that should have reinforced the idea in his head. But we, the audience are still not sure the droid knows. I was so sure TROS was his...

    Spoilers Skeleton Crew [Spoiler Discussion]

    ...So it wasn't just that the droid said the same thing, but in the new context (even retroactively rewatching the first phrase recontextualised*), this started to sound like the droid carries a lot of secrets instead. I kind of appreciate how “can't say I remember no At Attin” seems to...

    News Skeleton Crew

    It was just a flesh wound.

    Spoilers The Acolyte

    Not here. I usually abhor mysteries, and being bated with information to be revealed later on. Unsurprisingly, Columbo is my favourite crime drama, because it tells the mystery at the start. Yet I have loved The Acolyte with barely any complaints. Perhaps because they didn't try to drop some...

    Did Star Wars really start as episode 4?

    The big problem with the theatrical cuts is that, while I hate some of the changes, such as this one, which is egregious: ...some of them are completely essential. Ian McDiarmid in The Empire Strikes Back, for example. The original emperor scene looks atrocious now, although I kind of...

    Spoilers The Acolyte

    There's no canon source to confirm it, but Palpatine's mumbling about creating life definitely lends support to it, and considering the obvious implication by extrapolating in a straight line is not a reach (inb4 someone says that's the literal meaning of line extrapolation :p ). If it turns out...

    Spoilers All Things STAR WARS - News, Speculation & Spoilers Thread

    For me, there's only general Annikin Starkiller, just like Captain Pike from The Cage is the Star Trek captain.

    The newly knighted should not have padawans

    Nah. I thought Vernestra Rwoh taking Imri as her padawan at 16 was rather nice. Ditto with Ahsoka being Anakin's padawan, and Anakin being Obi-Wan's padawan. Remember, they weren't training for a driver's test for a year, they were training as Jedi their whole lives (even applies to Anakin who...

    Spoilers Bad Batch Season 3 - February 21st

    You can't have the entire Rebellion be present for the Battle of Endor, though. There just weren't that many ships there, even if the amount of time the fleet survived to allow the shields to be disabled before the Death Star had destroyed all of them might suggest they were slightly...

    Spoilers The Acolyte

    That it is, but the books take place before The Acolyte, so the layers need to be lower in most places.

    Spoilers Bad Batch Season 3 - February 21st

    I don't see any of that as a particular problem for either pre-OT or post-OT shows. Omega becoming a New Republic ranger after the Rebellion and having running in with Zeb and Carson Teva there wouldn't be an improbable development, and I wouldn't even count it as leaning into small universe...

    Spoilers The Acolyte

    Not explicitly, but I thought it is implied by the rising surface and the omission of any changes to the temple. Then again, the Umate is described in the same way as in The Mandalorian (but everything around is is very high in Mando).
