It is rather fitting that my Sub placed him in the sweets section. Palps isn't known for dental hygiene with those rotten teeth.
All kidding aside the fight in the diary section was so tense and frightening that it woke me with a gasp. In SW you can't more scary then having Vader hell bent on ramming his red blade through your torso. It wasn't a slow motion dream bit either, it was balls to the wall ep 3 Obi vs Vader on Mustafar speed.

Did a Bollywood dance number break out at any point?

Episode IX Release Date- May 23, 2019
I freaked out for a minute when i saw it because i thought it was coming out soon, then I remembered the difference between 8 and 9.

I still love those Republic Destroyers though, and the big canons/bass used in the score as they're flying past them.
I've been listening to the soundtrack for Sith in the car; it's one of the best. Anakins Dark Deeds, the Betrayal, and Battle of the Heroes - just brilliant.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

From the Vanity Fair spread, a bunch of new info and images...including our first look at both Laura Dern's character, and Benicia Del Toro's (not Thrawn).
Dern is pretty much who/what I assumed she would be. A Republic foil to Leia's "crazy" Resistance General.

As much as I loved TFA, these are ALL solid, solid story ideas that would have suited the narrative and made it better.

Trailer 2 has to be close to hitting I'm thinking. Atleast by early August.
I actually have a feeling it might drop during SDCC...
But yeah, if not then definitely August.

Well shit. I must have just felt a buzz in the air that made me post today. How sick would that be if it did hit?
For real! LOL

I got my Black Series Rey (Jedi training) figure from Force Friday, so I'm happy.

Yikes. Colin Trevorrow out as director of Episode IX.
Sounds like he was butting heads with Kennedy hardcore.

I think the threat of ROTJ 2 loomed over Trevorrow more than that.
And they've had no issues with Rian...so maybe they'll get him again?

According to Deadline, Rian Johnson (considering he's not had any issues with production of his SW film) is the frontrunner to replace Colin Trevorrow for IX.
Though that like means he needs to script it, which might push its release date depending on his post-Prod duties on TLJ.
I can't weigh in on this till I see TLJ...and because I only moderately liked BRICK and found LOOPER middling but very flawed...but it's probably a better choice than trying to bring back JJ.

I always say this, but they should get Matthew Vaughn to do it.

Directors are really being chewed up by this franchise now huh. Just get a journeyman to do it if you don't want a director's creative input.

JJ Abrams officially replacing Trevorrow on Episode IX as writer (with Chris Terrio) and director.
I like TFA enough to be excited for the choice...and frankly as long as he doesnt push too close to the OT, this should be a solid solid choice to finish out this trilogy. If it can't be Rian, I'm glad for JJ.
