TNT and TBS (U.S.) PT and OT Marathon

I can totally see Kylo saying "You're not a Jedi yet" to Rey when they face off on the cliff.

C3PO screaming in the Millennium Falcon cockpit as they're dodging asteroids will never stop being my fave scene from ESB.

OK RotJ, give Leia credit for the most bad a** entrance as a bounty hunter with demanding additional money and threatening to set off a bomb if Jabba doesn't comply. His comment that her bounty hunter alter ego is "fearless and inventive" is gonna come back when she strangles the gigantic slug.

I hope Boba looks like this to people who ignore the PT entirely.



Ladies man? Ladies man.

If Phasma is supposed to be the new Boba Fett, she looks a lot better under the armor than that guy.


So other details from RotJ - the whole detail with Luke surrendering to the Emperor with dialogue about "completing your training" sounds pretty familiar. Again have to wonder if this will be brought up in the "whatever happened at Luke's dodgy charter school" backstory.

Watching the last part of RoTJ right now, where Palpatine is egging Luke on about his friends getting ambushed, the end of the Rebel Alliance, etc...

There's no WAY that I see Rey being that calm/zen if she's put in a similar situation.

Not sure where this would belong, but I found the old Siskel and Ebert (RIP) special about Star Wars in advance of the Phantom Menace's release (spoiler alert: Ebert actually liked it). But that's a jumping off point to talking about the OT, the mythology/Hero's Journey and archetypes, several interviews with Lucas during the OT and 1990s, and the OT's influence on Alien, Blade Runner, Starship Troopers, among others. It's only 30 minutes but really worth watching for what they cover
