'If you're not with me then you're my enemy'

Fascinating podcast with three Star Wars authors on the influence of politics in Star wars

Oh please dime, like all other star wars movies don't have any cheesy lines.

I'm beginning to think a war movie set in SW universe just isn't your thing dude.

I've tried but I just don't have any interest in those cartoons. So, yeah, this doesn't really mean anything to me. It's cool that they are connecting canon but ultimately it's just an easter egg reference to something I don't know/care about.

Rebels is absolutely the most Star Wars of all the cartoons. It doesn't feel like you're sitting there watching a cartoon.

So apparently the scene in A New Hope Pablo hidalgo was tweeting about telling us all to watch it carefully is the conference scene on the Death Star where yer man is saying 'this station is now the most powerful weapon in the galaxy', there's one empty seat at the table.
Tarkin is there Vader is there

Krennic isn't there.

So he definitely doesn't make it out of rogue one. But will it be Vader or Jyn exacting revenge for her father?
I love that not only is he obviously not there. But there's a vacant chair at the table. Awesome.

I'm not a big fan of the animation style and the few clips I've seen have all been so obvious and heavy-handed. The dialogue has been awful, too. I just think these shows aren't for me.

Once you start watching it goes past animation into story. You don't notice it.

If you like I'll send a list of episodes that are really true blue Star Wars brilliant.
They're all you need.

Watching the red carpet stream. They keep showing trailers and making of clips.

It's cool.

They've just given away that 3PO is in the film. I mean we guessed but still.

Already read two damn spoilers just in reaction tweets. Tread carefully out here.
As with the force awakens there's a lot of shots in trailers that aren't in the film.
Hoping the bacta tank shot survived.

I'm wondering how well this will mesh with a new hope. Things like the x wing sequences in this comepared to those in IV.
