Watching Hulk Hogan get annihilated with boos while trying to sell his ripoff Bud Light beer was effing IN-CREDIBLE. And I grew up a Hulkamaniac. The crowd ultimately dictates the story and Hulkamania is dead, killed by Terry Bollea. #WWEonNetflix .

George Lucas laying it out decades ago, and has been saying it since 1973. Studio executives don’t care about art, and it’s time for artists and audiences to punch back. I am just not sure there is another George Lucas out there.

Hayden Christensen has been expressing gratitude and happiness for finally being praised by Star Wars, and Kathleen Kennedy is like, "Good time to blame my screw ups with Solo on our lead actor, that's the way to go.". I need clarity on those statements, cause BIG FAT "L" for KK.

Ian McDiarmid is 75 years old, we will likely never see him as Palpatine again. JJ could have said he grew back on the bud of a tree leaf and I would have been down with it. He is the best villain in #StarWars history and started this whole mess to begin with. He belonged in IX.

Being unfollowed by people because I like #TheRiseofSkywalker. Kind of a strange feeling to be unfollowed for liking a #StarWars movie, but nothing I can do. One of them is someone I don’t even know personally but went out of my way to help too. It hurts but moving on.

What I learned today:. 1. Going to the movies alone is pretty awesome. 2. #TheRiseofSkywalker still brings me to tears in several moments even five times in. I don’t know what it is but when Rey sees Luke and Leia and says “Rey Skywalker” this guy gets emotional.

If #StarWars creates a new film saga of sorts, with Rey or not as our hero, I hope they establish a NEW convincing villain now that Palpatine is finally done. And I am not talking Kylo Ren, Vader, or someone redeemable, I am talking pure, unabashed EVIL. Keywords: NEW and EVIL.

FACTS: J.J. Abrams was the executive producer for The Last Jedi, and when it came to the script, after reading it, said: "It’s so good, I wish I were making it.". I lightly suggest everyone save your sanity by muting and blocking the people trying to cause problems over nothing.

SOLO is aging so well. For me, it is the best Star Wars movie since 1983, and the closest thing to a pure George Lucas movie since he sold Lucasfilm. I love everything about this movie and it is a shame it was not set up to succeed. #MakeSolo2Happen FOREVER. Bring back Alden!

Palpatine took a Skywalker’s name away from them once they chose the dark, and a Palpatine brought the Skywalker name back after they chose the light. I personally like “Rey Skywalker” and I understand plenty do not, but this is a pretty nice parallel, to me anyway. #StarWars

I respect Mark Hamill greatly, but to think this was the way to go seems shortsighted and borderline selfish to me. The current movies will stand on their own and age much better than some sort of 'greatest hits' reunion tour. It's unfortunate he is stoking these flames.

I defend Disney often, but I’m sorry, Han and Leia honeymooning on the Galactic Starcruiser aka the absurdly expensive Disney Parks attraction/hotel feels really slimy to me and I can’t see it as anything but a commercial for something most Star Wars fans cannot afford.

Not talking about any more of this shit today, but:. 1. Using the term "Chewbacca bikini" applies some false sense and perception of humor and innocence to a rioter and.2. Leave my guy Chewbacca the eff out of this, he would rip that dude's arms off.
We spend $750 billion annually on "defense" and the center of American government fell in two hours to the duck dynasty and the guy in the chewbacca bikini

I love fan theories, but can we stop diminishing Rey in the process? She's not a clone, or a Skywalker, she's not Anakin reincarnated. Luke doesn't need to come back to save the day, and she doesn't need Kylo Ren either. I embrace Rey as our protagonist and hero. #StarWars

I don't understand the "but she's not a Skywalker" crowd when it comes to Rey Skywalker, when you consider the fact that the four main human characters in the original Star Wars besides Luke Skywalker have made up or adopted names:. BEN Kenobi.Han SOLO.Leia ORGANA.DARTH VADER

#IndianaJones and the #DialofDestiny is a beautifully shot pulpy adventure like RAIDERS w/ the heart, humor, and challenge of belief of LAST CRUSADE. A fitting entry and ending to the franchise. Fans of Indy will enjoy the ride. I look forward to seeing it again. This baby moves!

We're in the era of nitpicking #StarWars! Star Wars, a VERY nitpickable franchise since 1977, when Vader let the Falcon leave, rendering Obi-Wan's tractor beam effort pointless. No hysterics then. To balance nitpick culture, what's a dumb/nonsensical thing in Star Wars you love?

Gina Carano is not the victim. She dangerously spread lies about the pandemic and election from a large and influential platform, liked pro-insurrection posts, and her Holocaust comparisons were disgraceful. If any of us did what she did, we would be fired from our jobs too.

It was Lucas’s idea to make a young #Solo movie. It was written by the greatest Star Wars screenwriter and directed by Ron Howard who is a much better director than Lucas. The “Disney is ruining Star Wars” argument holds no weight, if you use it here I can’t take you seriously.

George Lucas always called John Williams’ music the “lifeblood” of #StarWars and it is true. @KinerMusic did a TREMENDOUS job in #Ahsoka and I think classical scores serve the franchise best, makes it feel much more cinematic. I hope this continues to be the “rule”.

George Lucas was not a fan of planning out his movies. The prequels were a matter of circumstance because they had to be. Vader was not Luke's father in 'Star Wars', 'Empire' was written from the lens of a love triangle, and Leia was not Luke's sister until first draft of 'Jedi'.
