Daughter and I took out our sabers we made at Galaxy's Edge. Great quality and interchangeable kyber crystals for different sounds/hums and saber colors. Sabers detach from the hilt as well, so it makes for great display.

The experience was amazing too. Well worth the $200.

They missed the timing on this one. Or did they?

The reference to Gungans was unexpected.

Attack of the Clones is on TBS and maybe it's the broadcast quality but I don't remember the compositing on Genosis being this bad.

Watched Tales of the Empire. I'm not sure I cared much for the Barriss story.

Watched Tales of the Empire with the family last night. Blacking out in case spoilers since there's no thread for it.

Everything with Morgan Elsbeth was awesome!!! Felt like old school clone wars with how dark it got in a few places.

But Barrie's story was pretty underwhelming….hard for me to remember her from clone wars but from what I remember she HATED the Jedi….so her turn back was pretty weak by the second episode….and then the way the 3rd one ended so abruptly….just felt weird…..so wasn't as big a fan of this season as I was tales of the Jedi due to that….

Got asked if I was in that commercial, but I was not. Several were in the Mando Mercs Costume Club though (I am also a member).

I am slowly recovering the I-IX marathon that my wife has been frowning upon since I mentioned it a month ago. For all those who saw The Phantom Menace again this weekend, I have 2 thoughts that I thought we could bandy around.

1) They must have filmed the Tatooine stuff first, because Jake Lloyd really struggles there, but is better on Coruscant and Naboo.

2) He's a lot better when he's talking to puppets, droids, and CGI characters than the other actors. This sounds like a slight but it isn't, but when he talks to Sebulba and Watto in Huttese, he seems pretty good.

Also my theater had a blast making fun of Ric Olie aka Captain Obvious. "Tatooine!" he calls out when Tatooine is literally 98% of the viewport of the ship. "There's the blockade!" he calls out as he flies the ship STRAIGHT AT IT. That guy never gets old.

Some screenies from the new Acolyte trailer.

Realy slick filmography on the Trinity vs. Protagonist in the extended look at the end of TPM; lots of new way of how to use the Force.

Heard a theory that Trinity dies in the opening scene.

Kinda makes sense, she's not in any of the other scenes, I don't think.

jokershady

12:31p, 5/6/24

rewatching the trailer right now....linking for convenience....

at the beginning when they say, "last night a jedi was murdered" it looks like the bad dude-et walking away is in the same wooden room where she fights trinity so it could be....

but if you jump to the 1:11 mark you see her character is still there.....now it could be a flashback but she looks the same age so maybe that voiceover is referring to another jedi death....could still be trinities but who knows....

Decay

12:45p, 5/6/24

The priority to me is that if she's going to be around for a few episodes they have to very clearly introduce and reinforce her character's name, or she'll be Trinity forever

They'd might as well name her something that ends with "inity"….thatd help make it stick….

When are we going to see a Jedi named "Karen" or "Chad" ???

Do you think the Jedi kept the children's given names or gave them new ones?
