JCC Embrace The FU - Formerly the STAR WARS IS BAD thread

Or maybe Bernie just grabs any children's book that's handy?

In other SW-related developments....

While McGregor went back and watched the entire Skywalker saga, Christensen went even deeper into the Star Wars canon. "I went back and rewatched all the films," says the man who will be once again going behind the mask as Darth Vader. "And I also got into the animated shows, The Clone Wars and Rebels."
There's obviously a lot more Anakin/Vader content to consume in those series, which helped give the actor even more perspective and material to draw upon in terms on both what his character has been through in the years leading up to Obi-Wan Kenobi and what is on the horizon after.
"It was interesting," Christensen says of binging The Clone Wars and Rebels. "They did a lot with these characters in those shows. And they did further explore the relationship. There was interesting stuff there to learn about. It was great fun getting to go back and re-immerse yourself in this world that just continues to grow and become more and more vast."

 

That seals it. He’s totally in Obi-Wan now.

 

Now I'm imagining Christensen just constantly pestering the writers to let him do over the top Mortis ****.

 

One thing that surprised me about Mortis is the series didn't walk all of it back at the end.

The Father removes Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka’s memory of The Son showing Anakin his future. Everything else about their visit the Jedi remember after they leave.

The Son turns into a little ape like creature at one point who bites Ahsoka. Do we see an actual one of those ape creatures in TROS - it reforges Kylo REN’s mask?

 

See, now if I don't get Darth Vader flying around on with a spinning saber-copter yelling out "YIPPEE", I'm gonna be disappointed

 

You'll get over it.

 

No one who headlines a dozen or so Taken revenge fantasies per year has any right to call himself a "snob" about anything. C'mon, Neeson!

 

Touché

 

He did those when he was depressed about his wife's passing.

 

True, but he's still doing them! In the past couple of years, there's been the snow-plow one, the FBI one, the rancher/former-Marine one. I mean, I get it, no one can play an aging bad-ass like Neeson, but it would be nice if he diversified a bit more. (Silence and The Grey were incredible, though)

 

He voiced Qui-Gon on multiple episodes of The Clone Wars Cartoon.

 

Maybe he just wants film level pay before dealing with all of those hair extensions.

 

He also needs to proudly inform the Inquisitors that what he just did was “pretty wizard.”

 

I wonder if he will have another opportunity to let the viewers know his innermost feelings about sand.

 

No one's ever really Qui-Gone.

 

Man we’ve crossed the nobody’s ****ing dead in this franchise rubicon so many times now I can’t even get upset.

 

I just wanted to make a bad pun.

 

I’ll accept it on the condition we get a flashback scene where he fakes his own cremation then stays behind to listen to the eulogies while wearing a fake mustache.

 

So with May the 4th coming up in two weeks, my employer is putting together a Star Wars presentation that they've asked my help with. I'm in the finance industry so if anyone could help with some Star Wars financial related puns that would be great.

 

After Darth Maul's return - a character whose death was deliberately made as final as possible to prevent him from ever coming back by the guy who eventually brought him back - nothing is off the table.
"Somehow, Mace Windu returned"
or even
"Somehow, Luke's hand returned"*

Spoiler

Hey, the latter actually happened in the EU

 

Can someone please remind me which comic or novel explained how the saber Luke lost on Bespin made its way to Maz?

 

Oh man we're getting so close to Obi-wan, the most anticipated new Star Wars property of the second quarter of Disney's fiscal 2022, a bit of a counterprogramming palate cleanser as Dr. Strange winds down at the box office but before Ms. Marvel and the Thor movie which will combine to overwhelm all other inputs into the consciousness of moviegoers and current and prospective Disney+ subscribers. Feel the excitement.
