A middle-aged nerd from the UK. I like films and write about them, sometimes for Film Stories or my blog.

Have a great day.

  • Didn’t they update that scene twice? The first Special Edition release and then updated the Jabba CGI a second time for another release. (The Blu-ray’s? I’m not sure)

    It’s all a bit moot anyway as everything in the “new” Jabba scene is almost a repeat of what was said in the Greedo encounter a few scenes earlier.

    And they forced in Boba Fett which was cool at the time but just seems out of place now.












  • I was a massive Star Wars fan but the prequels dampened my spirit a bit.

    Force Awakens, which is basically Star Wars Greatest Hits album, I really enjoyed but episodes 8 and 9 disappointed.

    It felt like, well it shows, they had no plan for the trilogy. Abrams makes up a story and then Rian Johnson has to figure out how to continue it etc.

    Then we all thought that Mandalorian was going to be the coolest TV show ever and then they introduced Grogu. You obviously can’t expect Disney to pander to 40 something year old nerds exclusively but I can’t deny it was disappointing.

    Obi-Wan show was a story that didn’t really need to exist and felt like fan pleasing.

    Boba Fett was fan pleasing onto a whole new level and then turned into Mando season 2.5.

    I couldn’t get into Ashoka, the Acolyte was really disappointing and Skeleton Crew was basically Star Wars Goonies but was really enjoyable.

    I’m hoping the Ryan Gosling film turns out to be good. I wish wish we had the Rogue Squadron film as well.

    More content set in the Star Wars universe that isn’t connected to stories we’ve already had please.
