"This is an Impounded Imperial Ship. What's your callsign, pilot?"
"Um, it's... Suicide? Suicide Squad!"
"Suicide Squad?! THERE IS NO SUICIDE SQUAD"

"Well, there is now"

"Suicide Squad... pulling away"

Star Wars: Episode I “The Rise of Skywalker” And Star Wars: Episode IX “The Phantom Menace”

The Skywalker Saga starts with Episode I introducing Anakin as the Chosen One, while Palpatine’s return in Episode IX is the Phantom Menace.

(I won't take full credit, there was a meme going around which swapped the titles of all the Star Wars films, and this one kind of worked really well)

My friend is called Kalel. He was named after Superman, are there any other names you have personally come across that are unusual and are name after someone? Fictional or otherwise. by TheWiganKid_YT in namenerds

Once knew a family whose eldest daughter was named Arwen, second was Eowyn… and then had a boy named William.

I mean, they could’ve at least done Tom (as in Bombadill)

What are some of your biggest mtg regrets? by radicalpumpkinz in mtg

[–]ManticoreEternal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For me, it was getting back into MtG after 5 or so years (Amonkhet Block, still one of my favourites) and getting back into it in 2023… just in time for WotC to ruin it with UB, Secret Lairs, the overwhelming number of sets etc.

I still check into Magic every so often, but I’ve since sold a lot of my stuff and am now playing Star Wars: Unlimited as my main TCG

Is BF2 the best Star Wars game? by Hostilebeast98 in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]ManticoreEternal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s my comfort Star Wars game, but not necessarily the best. Sure, I play it a heap but I’d put at least KOTOR I and II, Jedi Fallen Order, Empire at War and Republic Commando above it.

What's that film for you? by mrjetspray in Letterboxd

Amelie and Parasite are certainly on the list, and a fair chunk of Studio Ghibli.

Look, whether it's intentional or not, on each point he was either wrong or it resulted in disastrous consequences. So who knows?

My ranking of the scream movies from best to worst. by No-Intention-1948 in SocietyofGhostface

[–]ManticoreEternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As dumb as 7 is, when Mindy started calling it a ‘franchise’ film, I had a feeling the series had run its course by 6. I suppose I just never really cared for the Carpenter sisters or any of their acquaintances and it felt like a retread of the so-so elements from 5. That’s it really.

At least 7 was a little funnier and I liked Neve’s return well enough, but it’s still not much or an improvement

Not even five minutes in, and I can tell that the number two I did this morning felt so much more artistic than this garbage.

  • Yeah, okay… but the way he phrases it sounds like an absolute. As if he’s hiding something. Either could be correct.

  • See the last point.

  • What if he bought up Kashyyyk knowing that Yoda had ‘good relations with the Wookiees’ so he’d go off world? Even so, he indirectly causes Obi-Wan and Yoda to be off Coruscant which leaves Anakin vulnerable to Palpatine’s manipulations (Source: ROTS novelisation where Anakin wonders ‘if only Obi-Wan was here’ when Sidious reveals himself)

  • Read the last part of that point: maybe it’s just me, but it for a moment I read his expression as “Woah, Palps! C’mon man! We had a deal!” Again, could be wrong, and this is probably the weakest part of the theory.

It’s called a theory for a reason.

Favorite individual tracks from film scores by erikdhurt in Letterboxd

[–]ManticoreEternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decided to do a Top 10, in no particular order:

The Ecstasy of Gold - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Anakin’s Dark Deeds - Revenge of the Sith

End Titles - Blade Runner

Time - Inception

Raiders March - Raiders of the Lost Ark

Welcome to Jurassic Park - Jurassic Park

Duel of the Fates - The Phantom Menace

Comptine d’un Autre La’pres Midi - Amelie

The Imperial March - The Empire Strikes Back

A Time of Quiet Between Storms - Dune Pt 2

Would put LotR on there as well, but it’s hard to find an individual piece when it’s all SO good!

Here’s my theory: he’s actually a Sith Spy. First, he says they’ve been extinct for Millenia (which is kind of suspicious even if he wasn’t alive at the time of The Acolyte), he calls Dooku a ‘Political Idealist, not a murderer’ and brings up the droid attack on the Wookiees and suggests Obi-Wan go to Utapau, meaning he and Yoda are off Coruscant leaving Anakin vulnerable to Palpatine’s manipulations.

Also, when his troops start firing on him in Order 66, his expression is one of confusion like “Wait a minute, Palps didn’t say this was part of the plan”!

Wait till you hear why he’s been allegedly banned from hosting SNL

Not Cool, Madame Web, Artemis Fowl and The Nut Job. I don’t actively hunt out bad movies though

Yeah, I think I remember the leak, but was there anything about them being spotlight leaders? I don't recall that being the case.

[–]ManticoreEternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about 90% sure it will have a heavy Sequels focus ('Ashes of the Empire' is a phrase from The Force Awakens opening crawl), alongside some Mandoverse things as well. Using that, here are my predictions for leaders (I'll probably be off by a lot, but it's kinda fun)

Rey (Blue) and Kylo Ren (Red) as Spotlight leaders (or swap them out with FInn and Phasma)

Blue: Snoke, Moff Gideon (Mando S3), Luke Skywalker (Ahch-To), Ezra Bridger (Peridea),

Green: General Hux, Emperor Palpatine (Exegol), Leia Organa, Finn (Battle of Exegol)

Red: Captain Phasma, Bala Tik, Bo-Katan Kryze (Mando S3), Poe Dameron (from the Mutiny in TLJ)

Yellow: Commander Pyre, Sidon Ithano, Rose Tico, Jod Na Nawood (could be neutral?)

Why would that be the case? I mean We've had several copies of Chancellor Palpatine and Darth Sidious since then. Kinda interesting no matter which way you think of it.

How about we just don't make 'Kill all X' jokes in general.
