I know that by writing this post, I’m probably giving these people the attention that they crave, but it’s just too god damn funny for me to let this pass without making a comment on it. So, there’s this Twitter account and website that I, along with some other people, have recently discovered. What is this account/website’s purpose, you may ask?
Apparently they want Disney and Lucasfilm to remake Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
The trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was released on Thursday and it looks fucking amazing.
Rogue One, directed by Gareth Edwards, is a prequel of sorts to A New Hope. Taking place shortly before the first Star Wars, it follows a wanted criminal named Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) who is recruited by the Rebellion for a very important mission: stealing the plans for the Death Star. The film also stars Donnie Yen, Forest Whitaker, Mads Mikkelson, and Alan Tudyk, and will be opening on December 16.
Admittedly while I’m more into Star Trek than Star Wars, I do still enjoy the latter. I really liked the original trilogy, thought the prequel trilogy was kind of meh, and absolutely adored The Force Awakens. So, I’m actually pretty pumped for this movie.
I finally got to watch the new Star Wars movie on New Year’s Day. Long story short, I actually really liked it. While Star Wars doesn’t have quite the presence in my life that Star Trek does, I still enjoy the original trilogy quite a bit, and I like to play The Old Republic quite a bit.
I am going to put the rest of this under the cut as there may be some mild spoilers.
