Major spoilers ahead ... rolleyes.gif



1hr+ recap/review of TRoS by Kevin Smith, a long-time fan (made me wanna watch Jay & Silent Bob Strikes Back back) laugh.gif

He revealed that he cameoed in the movie (like what Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, etc. did before) ...

I kinda agree with him; on my 2nd watch, noticed more good fan-service things e.g. when Ben Solo said, "Dad, ...", memory Hans Solo only need to reply, "I know..." (dunno why I didn't get that the first time), and forgave more the 'bad' scenes (like the frenetic dialogues among Rey, Poe, & Finn in Act 1; and why didn't JJ cut to Rey training scene after Kylo Ren & Palpatine first scene?; the so-convenient deus-ex medallion thingy given by Zorii Bliss; etc.)

Got a bit emotional during my 2nd watch, didn't feel so the first time ... can hear some girls sniffing behind me during the lifeless Rey scene ... issit girls don't care much about movie logic and easier to absorb the intended pulling of heartstring scenes?

Do we just need to feel the SW sequel trilogy, instead of overthinking them?
Do we have to use the Force to see, instead of our jaded brain? unsure.gif (like Luke & the first Death Star)
Did the directors purposely made these 3 sequels imperfect, for balance? Not too good, not too bad ...
Was the flying General Leia in TLJ scene setup so it's easier for us to believe that Emperor Palpatine could easily survived TRoJ ending?

So many questions ... blink.gif


P.S. The 2 different cinemas I watched them in, seem to cut/censor the LGBTQ kissing celebratory scenes ... sweat.gif

KUALA LUMPUR: During the end credit for the first episode of Disney's The Mandalorian Season 2 yesterday, eagle-eyed fans caught a familiar logo that has a truly Malaysian connection.

The logo belongs to the National Film Development Corporation (Finas) which lent its support to the show's Episode 1 (Chapter 9: The Marshall) through an international VFX studio Base FX which has its office here.

It was understood that because of this, The Mandalorian is eligible for Finas' Film In Malaysia Incentive (FIMI), which grants a 30 per cent subsidy from the government.

The only requirement for a TV series to qualify for this subsidy is for it to spend a minimum of RM385,000 per hour.

Besides Kuala Lumpur, the Emmy Award-winning Base FX also has offices in China and Los Angeles, the United States.

The studio specialises in high-end creature and character animation, fluid and dynamic effects, and photo-real 3D matte painting and set extensions.

The Mandalorian, created by Jon Favreau for Disney+, premiered with the online streaming service's launch in November last year.

It is the first live-action series in the Star Wars franchise and begins five years after the events of Return Of The Jedi (1983).

Starring Pedro Pascal as the title character, it tells the story of a lone bounty hunter who is hired to retrieve "The Child" which fans around the world now call "Baby Yoda".
