if it was appropriate to the story, sure, why not, it would be cool :)

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 2d

Yep!

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 3d

that sure as hell is a new one from him... yeah because Bin Laden was totally not on anyone's radar other than his pre-9/11.🤪

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 3d

well, it is fewer words... but looks like the same amount of letters used, so, hey, if it works, it works!😄

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 4d

with the picture you described, I wouldn't want to put a movie on, because the movie is all around me to look at. Maybe music, so carols it is, but instrumental that's quieter. All you'd really need!

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 4d

and I'm sure the Mara/Legends fans are just going to soooo love that... not... LOL

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 4d

I haven't a clue, but hey, not a surprise that there's some major speculating going on. Forget what I saw back in the day when the sequels were only announced but I know I did a lot of eye rolling. LOL Maybe she is, maybe not; I really doubt it though, she'd have to be really different though.

definitely with him on this!😆

Birds and dinosaurs breathe different.

yeah, the theme songs definitely are the first to come to mind, Mando and Book of Boba Fett, but the other one that I immediately think of is the theme of the dark troopers, I guess especially as Luke's destroying them.

the day after Thanksgiving, and not before. Before is for Thanksgiving, after is for Christmas. :)

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 6d

I'd imagine so (just better not be in the Mando movie: must be a standalone! LOL). Really don't think they would put all those hints, scenes and episodes out there if they had no intention of going back to it. Of course, if stuff gets cancelled, well, can't do anything about that. But figure yes.

sure doesn't feel like it, but we know so little about the sequel years. Well, to be fair, once he became Emperor, people barely knew Palpy was around either. LOL But I don't know in the end about Snoke. They galaxy must have heard about someone being in charge of the First Order at some point.

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 8d

just that it really should be a standalone story; really needs it for the best and largest audience possible - hey, put easter eggs to other stuff or future stuff, but nothing really major that it's just so necessarily for people to watch the whole saga before watching this.

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 8d

yep! Okay, they are far from any favorite characters of mine, and was actually a bit annoyed to see we got the Nightsisters in Ahsoka... but yet, since they were new to live action, yeah, did like it. (guess that makes me complicated.... lol)

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 8d

ugh, this is tough... because, yes to real ones: the scent, the feel, the scent, and did I mention the scent? But artificial means no water accidents, no drying out, can put it up whenever you want and take down whenever you want. So, yeah, artificial. (have had both in my lifetime)

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 8d

Throw some easter eggs in, have small mentions of a connection to a future something that if you miss it, no problem, won't affect anything, but just keep it to a standalone.

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 8d

Ahsoka, sure, no prob; but the movie really needs to be a mostly standalone story - while I am up on the whole saga (mostly LOL), I wouldn't have a problem with it connecting in a big way, I just think to get a really big audience, it needs to keep it light on other canon and big on a separate story

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 8d

yep :)

besides, in the future, you know they will try to claim the immunity for themselves, because if the president is immune for official acts, and they are given the order by said president, then exactly why does the immunity stop with him? Such a Pandora's box, it isn't funny here...

A starfield is shown that has two short streaks running diagonally. At closer inspection, they are two comets both with white-green heads and white tails. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

All the more reason why *maybe* we need regulations and laws concerning so because *maybe* if you just let it go problems will happen... But nah, guess we can't have that, can we.

Lois M. @ov099.bsky.social · 10d

think I'll go with Episode 1 - because: hey, it's Anakin that built him, cool!

but I have to do a runner up here: Episode 9, because that's the most different stuff that 3PO has ever done on screen, ever, so it was really interesting.
