Movie & TV Show Critic Thread

My second favourite Star Wars character is now Grand Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn trilogy is a really good read so far (just finished reading Heir to the Empire), I really hope they bring it back into canon in the movies.

I don't know if his trilogy is canon right now, but he is. He appears on the Star Wars Rebel show in season 3. The animated one on Cartoon Network I think.

Trilogy not canon but he is. And he has made season 3 of rebels almost worth watching singlehandedly after the first 2 were apparently shit. Miss the clone wars tbh that show was quality.

All of the expanded universe is sort of in a limbo land at the moment. Any of it could be reincorporated as canon at a later date as long as it doesn't conflict with 7, 8, or 9, which is why I think it was no longer made canon in the first place. I know a lot of star wars geeks are fucking furious that the expanded shit is no longer canon (probably because of the time they invested in reading the books or w.e.) which is kind of funny imo. Some of these people on star wars forums seriously expected JJ Abrams to read up on the expanded universe and become a fucking expert on star wars before he could be allowed to make star wars 7, it's just absolutely ridiculous. As an example, a good friend of mine told me that he didn't like 7 because in it there was some stupid thing having to do with the lightsabers that violated the sacred expanded universe and that Kylo Ren wasn't a true sith because he doesn't follow the rule of two.

On a  completely different topic: I have recently found out that the entire fucking world seems to hate Jar Jar Binks....

It seems I am literally the only one whose favourite character is, in fact, Jar Jar....

I personally thought Rogue 1 was amazing. I felt it went back to the feel of the original trilogy. The story and characters were both amazing and the film looked stunning. I love the way how they really told the story without pampering a happy ending, the characters had all been developed to the extent where you genuinely felt about them and each and every death was met with actual sadness for it. The beach scene where they are resigned to their fate really hit the feels. I also love the way how the director tied in the ending with the beginning of A New Hope, showing he was conscious of the way the film would fit in with the entire series, and not just being a standalone that had no consequence upon the main storyline. Another great movie which makes it 2/2 for the new 'ens so far. Rogue 1 was perfect for keeping the hype going for me and I can't wait for the continuation of the main series.

Couldn't agree more with you on rogue one. It was fantastic. I would honestly rate it above episode 7 and well above any of the prequels. It really is in league with the original trilogy.

If you haven't seen it, please watch it.

Also, next summer is going to be shit for movies. We are going to have great hits like cars 3, despicable me 3, wonder woman, captain underpants, power rangers, baby boss, spiderman: homecoming and fuck me another transformers!
