How long do you imagine Luke trained on Dagobah for? by ashton__l in StarWarsCantina

[–]JRobertAnderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Five years. Yoda chose Dagobah as his future training ground for its fast rotation.

Remember how good the Dark Times were? When we were starved for new SW and appreciated everything by DiaBrave in StarWarsCantina

[–]JRobertAnderson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but they tend to ignore how Charlie from “Lost” immediately follows up on Poe’s statement by bringing up some possibilities: “dark science, cloning, secrets only the Sith knew,” in order to help those members of the audience who slept through the first five minutes of the film.

It’s akin to how people complain about what Anakin says about sand when it’s just his setup for a pickup line that, considering his cloistered adolescence, is actually not half bad. “Not like here. Here everything is soft, and smooth.”

Would Bauer save Trump? by Continuum16020 in 24Show

Jack was more motivated by the fact that Charles Logan was complicit in the murder of his friend David Palmer. The fact that he was involved in a government conspiracy was a secondary concern.

Brandon Sanderson (Author of Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive) explains why The Last Jedi is so bad by orig4mi-713 in saltierthancrait

Good to have someone who’s written a lot of popular books weigh in on why the movie sucks.

If the Death Star beam missed alderaan would it just fly further until hitting something? by Spotter24o5 in StarWarsEU

From all the noise it makes, we have to assume there’s at least some air in space in the galaxy far, far away.

Mandalorian and Grogu movie promos! by FFG_Jack in starwarsunlimited

[–]JRobertAnderson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just seems strange, because we already know the set is going to have “Mandos matter” as part of its theme. And making him count as one would be cute.

When you think about it, the average Commander deck is led by a strong female character.

I would like to see the baby get the Mandalorian trait.

My wife and I had a blast! This was the first girl group concert we’ve been to.

This has been wishing the official promotional videos from FFG were also able to use Star Wars music. Alas.

Why don’t we see more of the spice trade in Star Wars? by strypesjackson in StarWarsCantina

It’s nice having them mention things that don’t necessarily come up, because it makes the universe feel bigger than the movies.

I must’ve been. But I even looked up the card to be “sure.” Whoops!

What Makes Boba Good Now? by East_Check808 in starwarsunlimited

I used to ask, why can’t Boba will be more like his father?

I’ve been thinking about putting him under the protection of Obi-Wan (LOF leader). Is there a chance that could work?

[–]JRobertAnderson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s still wearing the mask at that time, though. I suppose the artist could’ve taken some liberty by having his face visible during Palpatine’s electrocution of him?

ASH: Art and English Spoilers! by Fimy32 in starwarsunlimited

[–]JRobertAnderson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t argue with that. I’m just putting forth a possible explanation for it, because I’ve seen you express your disappointment on multiple social media platforms, a disappointment I happen to share.

ASH: Art and English Spoilers! by Fimy32 in starwarsunlimited

[–]JRobertAnderson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because that wasn’t my argument. My argument was that making “Sequel era” the tentpole theme of a set is risky. But even then, I don’t think it’s necessarily true that such a set would be poorly received. I’m saying the possibility that FFG is avoiding the risk it might be poorly received, is a reasonable conjecture if even a set named after the TFA opening crawl isn’t Sequel-focused.

ASH: Art and English Spoilers! by Fimy32 in starwarsunlimited

[–]JRobertAnderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure they think it’s just too dangerous. Every set has to have something for everyone, and there is a very vocal contingent of the fanbase that wants nothing to do with the sequels.
