    Eadu is a nod to Alien's LV-426

    Godzilla and the MUTOS are cave paintings in Saw's cave.

    When they bumped into him he was on his way to his ship to head for Tatooine to pick up some death sticks for his next big party.

    Death sticks are good, wholesome fun for the entire family.


    So I've been told.

    Voices from both actors who played him, during Rey's vision thingy.

    EDIT: Wait, nevermind. I don't know what he means for Rogue One.

    Wobani is an anagram for Obi wan.

    Seems merely coincidental.

    IP!!!!

    No way that is coincidental

    There is still the exchange between Mothma and Organa where she asks Organa about his friend, "the Jedi".

    Really, why?

    The inclusion of planetary names and an anagram for the man and its chance?

    I don't think it is coincidence it is Obi-wan reordered. Just a nod to the old movies, nothing more.

    Nothing more?

    What else would it be?

    Just saw it, loved it... Have some balls and said **** it, we're killing the whole cast. Last 45 minutes were epic battle wise.

    5,R1,4,6,7 and who gives a shit for the hot mess 1-3 is... **** Lucas for that crap. JJ did what he did best with 7 and agree that 8 has to be phenomenal to not look back at 7 with sadness when this is all over.

    Looking forward to the Han Solo origin story next.

    I liked 1-3...


    And I'm watching Rogue One now. And not for the first time...

    My biggest gripe with 1-3 is trying to describe the Force instead of leaving as a mystery. And little kid protagonists are not my thing, either. And the acting. The story was OK.

    Upon rewatching the acting was terrible. The romance scenes in II were God awful.

    That, and Maul was completely underutilized. I'd much rather have seen an Anakin/Maul showdown in III than where it went.

    Oh, and Jar Jar.

    2 and 3 were way, way longer than they needed to be.

    Especially 2, at least with 3 you knew it ended with Darth Vader

    The acting in 1-3 had no support from writing or direction. Natalie Portman, an actress who is decent at worst in most roles, was reduced to what seemed like half a movie worth of, "Oh, Ani" in 2-3. Those movies would have probably been better had Lucas gotten more outside help.

    The battle at end of 2 made it worth it, but agreed about 1/3 of the middle hour could have been cut.

    Dunno about 3. There was a lot that had to be crammed into that.
