Ant Man and Wasp review.
Awesome 
Infinity War: How’s it going?
Infinity War is on the very cusp of 2 billion dollars US$1.97B worldwide earnings and that would be enough to tell people it’s been a huge success, but that’s not all.
Many people love it, and I’m not just talking love. I am hearing from some people that they loved it more than any other Marvel movie of the last several years. It’s clearly got the box office clout to pull a huge crowd.
What I’m wondering though is… Was it really that good. I absolutely loved parts of it, many parts in fact. But, in some ways it just seemed like they were just trying to squeeze in every possible superhero that they could, just so they could say they were all in there.
Thanos was a great villain but I thought he got all the Infinity Stones just a little bit too easily. Dr. Strange kind of just gave up.
Anyway, it was pretty good. It has done really well. And, I would most certainly see it again.
Hulk is Immortal
“This is something that’s been brewing for a while – the last time I was in the Marvel ‘writer’s room,’ way back at the start of last year, we were talking about the Hulk. and I pitched the idea that he was resurrecting so often because that’s just what he does. Like, we don’t need a MacGuffin or magic or Hydra science every time – he just comes back. That’s what he does. That’s what he is. I don’t think it went anywhere at the time, but when I sat down on my own and really thought it through, that led very naturally into the idea that when the gamma bomb went off, Bruce died… and then he came back. The birth of the Hulk was also the first demonstration of his immortal nature.”

Do Anakins injuries have a trauma ladder affect and then affect his choices
In the 3 films and TCW clone wars series Anakin is hurt quite often has a lot of crashed ships, gets knocked out , saved by his Padawan Ahsoka Tano and his arm cut off and he gets beaten many times and electrocuted and he gets belted with force lightening do you think the Jedi ever accounted or considered or gave him care or Bacta time for the trauma affect of all the injuries that Anakin acquires and experiences?
Did the Clone War wear Anakin out physically and mentally and possibly predispose Anakin to making bad trust choices ?

Dawn of Justice – Justice League synopsis
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s (Henry Cavill) selfless act, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) enlists newfound ally Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) to face an even greater threat.
Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awakened enemy.
Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes — Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and the Flash (Ezra Miller) — it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

DEATH IS JUST THE BEGINNING
“DEATH IS JUST THE BEGINNING.”
Letting the Force guide him, Yoda voyages into the heart of the galaxy to an ancient world that is one of the wellsprings of the Force and the source of midi-chlorians. Yoda undergoes difficult trials administered by the Five Priestesses, mysterious Force-wielders who hold the secret to immortality.
The story of Yoda is never completed not even after he died but until he met the Force Priestesses I think the great Jedi Master and reluctant General had been overwhelmed by the Clone Wars and the death and destruction the loveable Clones had reared as they literally invaded the Star Wars Galaxy.

Ezra Bridger has questions about the Clone Wars – One last battle in the Clone Wars means Jedi Kanan his Padawan and Rex a Clone vs Battle Droids Vs Stormtroopers !!
“StarWars.com: This season also offered you a chance to tie up some loose ends from The Clone Wars, and one was “The Last Battle.” Where did the idea come from that you were going to take an opportunity to give some closure to characters who went through the Clone Wars?
[Rebels executive producer] Dave Filoni: We had toyed with this old battle droid story many times and we never found a good place for it. With Rex back, it seemed like there was an opportunity. Plus, Ezra didn’t have any perspective on the Clone War. He didn’t grow up in it, so there was the opportunity to have him ask, like he did when he first met Rex, “What is this all about?” Ezra sees it from a point of view that helps both Kanan and Rex understand what they went through. Even they didn’t fully understand it.
It’s a great thing to produce because you make battle droids, and when you make one, you get a whole bunch of them, so it works from a production level. The thought of battle droids confronting stormtroopers was really appealing. I like anything that really brings the prequel and the original trilogy periods together. I think it’s important to do so people understand these stories all work together as one piece. It’s not like the prequels end and everything in them just disappears.
Having worked in the prequel era for a long time, I know it really well. It was really interesting to see Kanan, Ezra, and Zeb dealing with it and, frankly, how dangerous some of it was. While the droids weren’t much of a match for Anakin Skywalker, they’re more than a match for someone like Ezra who’s not as well-trained. So, it gave a great perspective into what they’re capable of, too. […]
StarWars.com: There’s something about seeing original and prequel trilogy elements come together that’s so surprising.
Dave Filoni: Right? It shouldn’t be, but it is.
We do have this strange thing where I was able to finish a lot of storylines from Clone Wars, things that never really got dealt with in the past. That felt good, and I felt like that followed through for a lot of people who wanted to know more about Ahsoka and wanted to know more about Rex, and so here’s how they got it.
StarWars.com: Is it important to you to tell those stories on a personal level, like it’s unfinished business? Is it for George Lucas, is it because you think it makes the story better? Or is it a little bit of everything?
Dave Filoni: I think it’s a little bit of everything. It feels right for Rebels characters to be involved with other characters. Plus, in a lot of ways, creatively, I’ve been the guardian of those characters. I think the audience feels it’s authentic if I’m the one behind telling their story. They have invested in these characters, and want to see that I’m still invested in them, as well. When I go back to telling more of their story, it validates everyone’s investment in them. Many people felt cheated that they didn’t get an ending to Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Now when you look at it, and it wasn’t really intended, you can say you need to watch Clone Wars and then go into Rebels, and then you get the whole story. Which is kind of unique. We’ve been pretty lucky with what we’ve been able to do — telling these stories and finishing stories that would’ve otherwise had no way to end.”

Thanks for the art!
I must admit, I barely picked up on any of this, but the Force is strong with some of these Star Wars fans. They are known as fans of “Reylo” (This put simply is an intense loving relationship between Rey and Kylo-Ren in Star Wars VII The Force Awakens.) This has been mistakenly referred to as fan fiction run amock or fan fiction that has gained traction within the Star Wars universe. But, this is not the case. The preponderance of evidence in the movie itself describing, in fact, defining their relationship is staggering.
This is not fan fiction. This is Star Wars canon, and the fans who picked up on this from the start should be applauded.
Everything you need to see about the beginnings of their relationship together is in Star Wars VII TFA or in officially sanctioned literature. ie. Star Wars VII TFA books, both adult and Junior versions, interviews with the cast. Interviews, comments, quotes and indeed audio tracks in the movie itself, all from the director himself J.J. Abrams.
I have included a video below outlining the clues throughout the movie which was put together by Youtube user ‘Vincent Vendetta’. But, it should also be mentioned that even by him credit should go to the many fans who recognized the beginnings of the relationship, and have created some truly astounding fan art of the relationship. There are links to all those deserving of credit included in Vincent Vendetta’s video. It is not my intention to claim any right to this theory. All credit should go to the Reylo community who were laughed at in the beginning.
Enjoy!

Dave Filoni gives us Ahsoka Tano details
“It just occurred to me that I never got to tell you all the story of the time that Bendu met Ahsoka Tano. It was a brief encounter, which took place around the end of the episode “The Mystery of Chopper Base” from Season Two, just before Ahsoka, Kanan and Ezra left on their fateful mission to Malachor. Of their conversation, you might find this dialog to be the most interesting:
Bendu: “You are set on this confrontation then?”
Ahsoka: “I have to know the truth.”
Bendu: “So be it, but understand this, much will change as a result of this encounter, including you.”
Ahsoka: “Isn’t that true of all things, as time advances?”
Bendu: “My dear, when I say change, I mean death.”
Ahsoka: “So I will die?”
Bendu: “Will you? I didn’t know that. Goodbye then, Ahsoka Tano, former Jedi Knight.”
Fascinating Dave but you’re still Bendu- ing away and she’s at risk in the Rebels period as the fire goes out of the galaxy !!

Was Anakin Skywalker somewhat brain washed or hard wired for his future as Darth Vader on Mortis?
We’ve seen young Anakin in the events of The Phantom Menace and teenage Anakin in Attack of The Cllones but in Star Wars the Clone Wars on the Force planet Mortis in the company of The Son Anakin has a vision of himself and the Darth Vader armour and the events of Order 66 killing Jedi but after leaving Mortis apparently his mind was wiped ?
My query is Anakins mind was wiped he saw in his vision his future Darth Vader armour was he hard wired without choice to become in suit Darth Vader ?

Batman v Superman
This video (below) is an interesting opinion about this movie. I also happen to agree with it. I really enjoyed Batman v Superman. I suppose that comes partly from the fact that I don’t just automatically hate Ben Affleck.
This movie had a lot of promise and though it wasn’t flawless it had great potential on which I feel it basically delivered. It is starting to build a really nice Universe that DC can capitalize on. They went about it in a different way than Marvel. Marvel handed one hero per movie. Sure they had cameo’s at the end, but basically it was just the hero of THAT movie. I think they are now a little soft. Iron Man 3 wasn’t the gold that the first one was, and I think Captain America Civil War has kind of lost it’s way.
Batman v Superman was criticized for including too much of other characters and too many separate story lines. I felt it was enough to make me really look forward to what was happening next.
Batman v Superman deserves another look. You might be surprised.
Darth Vader Star Wars Marvel comic
The first arc is going to revolve around Vader’s construction of his red lightsaber, because at the end of Revenge of the Sith, he obviously loses his blue saber when he gets all chopped up and Obi-Wan takes it to eventually give to Luke down the road. So we end up with a character who is known as having this iconic sword, like his magical red sword, but he doesn’t have it yet. So what better way to start a big huge series than with a quest for a magic sword? We’re going to explore the mythology around lightsabers to some degree, which will be very fun. I’m really lucky that I get to tell that story. Seems like a big piece of the puzzle for him

“Skywalker. Anakin Skywalker.” Grand Admiral Thrawn
Read an excerpt from Chapter 2 of Star Wars: Thrawn below:
It was probably only five seconds. But to Eli it felt like a medium-sized eternity. The entire throne room was utterly still, utterly silent. The only sound was the thudding of his pulse in his ears, the only movement the shaking of his arms in his sleeves.
“Captain Parck,” the Emperor said at last, his gravelly voice neutral. “I’m told you bring me a gift.”
Eli winced. A gift? For the Chiss of the stories, that would have been a deadly insult. Thrawn was behind him, and he didn’t dare turn around, but he could imagine the expression on that proud face.
“I do, Your Majesty,” Parck said, bowing low. “A warrior reportedly of a race known as the Chiss.”
“Indeed,” the Emperor said, his voice going even dryer. “And what, pray tell, would you have me do with him?”
“If I may, Your Majesty,” Thrawn spoke up before Parck could answer. “I am not merely a gift. I am also a resource. One you have never seen the like of before, and may never see again. You would do well to utilize me.”
“Would I?” the Emperor said, sounding amused. “Certainly you’re a resource of unlimited confidence. What exactly do you offer, Chiss?”
“As a start, I offer information,” Thrawn said. If he was offended, Eli couldn’t hear it in his voice. “There are threats lurking in the Unknown Regions, threats that will someday find your Empire. I am familiar with many of them.”
“I will learn of them soon enough on my own,” the Emperor countered placidly. “Can you offer anything more?”
“Perhaps you will learn of them in time to defeat them,” Thrawn said. “Perhaps you will not. What more do I offer? I offer my military skill. You could utilize that skill in making plans to seek out and eliminate these dangers.”
“These threats you speak of,” the Emperor said. “I presume they’re not simply threats to my Empire?”
“No, Your Majesty,” Thrawn said. “They are also threats to my people.”
“And you seek to eliminate all such threats to your people?”
“I do.”
The Emperor’s yellowish eyes seemed to glitter. “And you wish the help of my Empire?”
“Your assistance would be welcome.”
“You wish me to assist people who exiled you?” the Emperor said. “Or was Captain Parck incorrect?”
“He spoke correctly,” Thrawn said. “I was indeed exiled.”
“Yet you still seek to protect them. Why?”
“Because they are my people.”
“And if they withhold their gratitude and refuse to accept you back? What then?”
There was a slight pause, and Eli had the eerie sense that Thrawn was giving the Emperor one of those small smiles he was so good at. “I do not need their permission to protect them, Your Majesty. Nor do I expect their thanks.”
“I’ve seen others with your sense of nobility,” the Emperor said. “Most fell by the wayside when their naïve selflessness collided with the real world.”
“I have faced the real world, as you call it.”
“You have indeed,” the Emperor said. “What exactly do you wish from my Empire?”
“A state of mutual gain,” Thrawn said. “I offer my knowledge and skill to you now in exchange for your consideration to my people in the future.”
“And when that future comes, what if I refuse to grant that consideration?”
“Then I will have gambled and lost,” Thrawn said calmly. “But I have until that time to convince you that my goals and yours do indeed coincide.”
“Interesting,” the Emperor murmured. “Tell me. If you served the Empire, yet a threat arose against your people, where would your loyalties lie? Which of us would command your allegiance?”
“I see no conflict in the sharing of information.”
“I’m not speaking of information,” the Emperor said. “I’m speaking of service.”
There was a short pause. “If I were to serve the Empire, you would command my allegiance.”
“What guarantee do you offer?”
“My word is my guarantee,” Thrawn said. “Perhaps your servant can speak to the strength of that vow.”
“My servant?” the Emperor asked, his eyes flicking to Parck.
“I do not refer to Captain Parck,” Thrawn said. “I speak of another. Perhaps I assumed incorrectly that he was your servant. Yet, he always spoke highly of Chancellor Palpatine.”
The Emperor leaned forward a little, his yellowish eyes glittering. “And his name?”
“Skywalker,” Thrawn said. “Anakin Skywalker.”

My theory is crazy I’m tipping the Darth Maul vs Obi-Wan Kenobi fight on Twin Sun Tattoine gets stopped by the Ghost crew it’s time Maul got convinced this is time to drop it and work together I’m gonna tip he stays and looks after Luke in the shadows 🙂This will rewrite or add a lot of detail I know but the comics and longer saga series could really benefit superbly.
Also Kenobi is known as The Negoiator it’s a name I read in a Star Wars legends book I can’t remember the source but that alone could be the characteristic that he needs to win the day Negotiations but perhaps not mediated by lightsaber but mediated by Star Wars Rebels characters that do want to save the day for both the dark side and the light Ezra Bridger wants to Destroy the Sith and Maul wants to find Hope.

“It is a period of civil war in the galaxy. A brave alliance of underground freedom fighters has challenged the tyranny and oppression of the awesome Galactic Empire. Striking from a fortress hidden among the billion stars of the galaxy, rebel spaceships have won their first victory in a battle with the powerful Imperial starfleet. The Empire fears that another defeat could bring a thousand more solar systems into the rebellion and Imperial control of the galaxy would be lost forever. To crush the rebellion once and for all, the Empire is constructing a sinister new battle station. Powerful enough to destroy an entire planet, its completion spells certain doom for the champions of freedom.”

My top 10 Han Solo dialogue quotes
1-Luke is practicing lightsaber drills against a remote] Han Solo: Good against remotes is one thing. Good against the living, that’s something else.
2-Princess Leia Organa: This is some rescue! You came in here, but didn’t you have a plan for getting out?
Han Solo: [indicating Luke] He’s the brains, sweetheart!
3-Han Solo: Fifteen, Jabba, and don’t push it.
Jabba the Hutt: Okay, fifteen percent. But if you fail me again, I’ll put a price on your head so big, you won’t be able to go near a civilized system.
Han Solo: Jabba, you’re a wonderful human being.
4-Han Solo: Afraid I was gonna leave without giving you a goodbye kiss?
Princess Leia: I’d just as soon kiss a Wookiee.
Han Solo: I can arrange that. You could use a good kiss.
5-Han Solo: [cutting open his dead Tauntaun and shoving Luke inside] This may smell bad, kid, but it’ll keep you warm until I get the shelter up… Ugh. And I thought they smelled bad on the *outside*.
6-Han Solo: This map’s not complete. It’s just a piece. Ever since Luke disappeared, people have been looking for him.
Rey: Why did he leave?
Han Solo: He was training a new generation of Jedi. One boy, an apprentice, turned against him, destroyed it all. Luke felt responsible. He just walked away from everything.
Finn: Do you know what happened to him?
Han Solo: A lot of rumors. Stories. People that knew him best think he went looking for the first Jedi temple.
Rey: The Jedi were real?
Han Solo: I used to wonder about that myself. Thought it was a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. A magical power holding together good and evil, the dark side and the light. Crazy thing is… it’s true. The Force. The Jedi… All of it… It’s all true.
7-Han Solo: What was your job when you were based here?
Finn: Sanitation.
Han Solo: Sanitation? Then how do you know how to disable the shields?
Finn: I don’t. I’m just here to get Rey.
Han Solo: People are counting on us. The galaxy is counting on us.
Finn: Solo, we’ll figure it out. We’ll use the Force.
Han Solo: That’s not how the Force works!
8-Bala-Tik: Kanjiklub wants their investment back too.
Han Solo: I never made a deal with Kanjuklub!
Bala-Tik: Tell that to Kanjiklub.
[Kanjiklub’ gang enters the other end of the corridor lead by Leech]
Han Solo: Tasu Leech. Good to see you.
Tasu Leech: [translated from an alien dialect] Wrong again, Solo. It’s over for you.
Han Solo: Boys, you’re both gonna get what I promised. Have I ever not delivered for you before?
Bala-Tik: Yeah.
Tasu Leech: Twice!
[looks confused at Chewie who nods]
Han Solo: What was the second time?
9-C-3PO: His high exaltedness, the Great Jabba the Hutt, has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately.
Han Solo: Good, I hate long waits.
C-3PO: You will therefore be taken to the Dune Sea, and cast into the pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the all-powerful Sarlaac.
Han Solo: Doesn’t sound so bad.
C-3PO: In his belly you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.
Han Solo: On second thought, let’s pass on that, huh?
10-[Han and Chewbacca are reunited]
Han Solo: Chewie? Chewie, is that you?
[Chewie grabs Han and shakes him]
Han Solo: Ch-Chewie! I can’t see, pal. What’s going on?
[Chewie barks]
Han Solo: Luke? Luke’s crazy! He can’t even take care of himself, much less rescue anybody.
[Chewie barks again]
Han Solo: A Jedi Knight? Jeez, I’m out of it for a little while, everyone gets delusions of grandeur! 
Be Our Guest!
Well, I have been looking forward to this movie for so many years. Ever since I first saw the original animated version in 1991/2, it totally captured my imagination and I was stunned at the extraordinary realism of these characters. I couldn’t believe how much emotion could be shifted with animation. I was hugely impressed with ‘The Little Mermaid’, but Beauty and the Beast truly entrenched Disney as a lifetime favourite of mine and since then I have rarely been disappointed.
“Beauty and the Beast” is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within.
This version of Beauty and the Beast arriving this year is live action starring Emma Watson, Ewan McGregor, Ian McKellen, Kevin Kline and a host of others. From everything I have seen, it seems to be reamaining very true to the original animated movie which I personally find very exciting. Beauty and the Beast will be a massive hit this year and I for one will be seeing it several times. I am sure Disney is welcoming everyone to ‘Be their Guest’.
‘Red Cup’ is up and running, Chris Miller shares.
Source: Hollywood Reporter
Chris Miller, who’s co-directing the Star Warsmovie focusing on the early life of Han Solo, marked the first day of shooting on the project on Twitter this morning, sharing an image of the clapperboard and the caption “Han First Shot.” (A pun, of course, on the controversy surrounding edits made to the original movie for its 1997 re-release.)
Notable on the clapperboard is the working title for the project, which remains officially nameless: Star Wars: Red Cup. Fans are doubtlessly already feverishly trying to work out the meaning behind that title, though it looks like a joking Solo cup reference.
Miller is directing the movie with his screenwriting and producing partner Phil Lord. The feature stars Alden Ehrenreich as Solo, a role originated by Harrison Ford, alongside Emilia Clarke and Woody Harrelson. Atlanta‘s Donald Glover will also appear, playing the young version of the original trilogy’s Lando Calrissian. The movie will be released next year.
Is Wolverine still dead?
Yes Wolverine is still dead in Marvel continuity but I’m excited because very soon Hugh Jackman will play the Old Canuck for the last time in the soon to be released LOGAN, meaning he’s grown his chops and strapped on Wolverines reach extending claws and been giving the adamamantium skeleton yet again!!
For more Wolverine read Old Man Logan and also Laura Kinney aka X-23 has pulled on the Wolverine suit in her own series but alas she still struggles with the tragedy of her Kill Scent issues with one sniff and everybody is dead FOREVER!!

Star Wars the Force Awakens The Last Jedi and then ?
Hey Star Wars fans lucasfilm released their new movie title today The Last Jedi and instantly I thought of Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker and Darth Maul and Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger and I wondered yet again who is the other Yoda mentioned ?
So The Last Jedi countdown has begun and we are launched into months of waiting and yet we who remember waiting for Star Wars between the OT and the Prequels for years have less to worry about knowing that 2017 we’ve got a brand new Star Wars film to decipher and pull apart and ponder and taste every piece of popcorn induced fever about Lightsaber fights and the Battlefront in that Big galaxy far far away a long time ago.

Carrie Fisher “She will always be royalty to me”
Dear Carrie Fisher
You’ve been in my life since Empire Strikes Back in cinema back in the 1980s, Return of The Jedi and The Blues Brothers and many other times on TV and magazines and on my bedroom walls and in the Star Wars games we played in the school playground. I watched you in the Star Wars panels for The Force Awakens you were seriously in your forte on point and willing to be yourself local a Princess for the people of Alderaan and Star Wars Fans.
Star Wars Rebels popped your character in and you got JUSTICE!!
whoa thanks for being around forever and ever!!
Rest in peace
Kind regards
Star Wars Fans
Spider-Man Homecoming!!
Spider-Man gets a new movie after his smash web entry in Civil War BUT the Vulture is in Town with mech bio upgrades and General Grievous style pronged psycho feet and huge wings that no doubt are armored to his feathers and quills!!
Tony Stark aka Iron Man plays the mentor role this time to a young Peter Parker aka Spider-Man delivering as yet unidentified goodies by Happy Hogan in the trailer so where to from here Iron Man?
A Lego Death Star gets SMASHED in the Drop Test in the trailer and I noticed Parker has a Lego X-Wing and a Lego AT-AT as well so Parker has gone from a poor kid in previous movies and the Marvel 1616 continuity to being a well off kid that has toys from Lego well placed products and more Spider-Man style upgrades from R.D.J. Stark himself.
Marvel if you read my blog amongst the millions on the internet I am hoping you feature The Ramones version of your cartoon theme songs you’ve hinted at it previously in earlier Spider-Man films and maybe CJ Ramone or Marky Ramone will reply in their live sets !!
Make Mine Marvel!!
Star Wars Prequel ‘Rogue One’ Thrills Audience at World Premiere – “Variety”
The force took over Hollywood on Saturday night as Disney-Lucasfilm’s “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” premiered to wild applause at the Pantages Theatre.
Celebrities and fans cheered throughout the end credits of the film, which has a running time of 2 hours and 18 minutes.
Some observers in the crowd remarked afterward how surprisingly action packed and beautiful the film looked. Others noted how much they liked the new characters in the prequel, which opens next Friday.
“It was excellent,” said fan Chris Cannole. “The new characters and story lines really engaged me. It reminded me of ‘The Dirty Dozen.’”
The “Rogue One” screening began at 7 p.m. with no introduction, unlike last year when Disney Chairman Bob Iger spoke before “The Force Awakens.”
Felicity Jones, the Oscar-nominated star of the film, got the night’s biggest raves. Actors Donnie Yen and Alan Tyduk, who play Chirrut Imwe and robot K-2SO, also received enthusiastic responses. The film co-stars Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Jiang Wen, and Forest Whitaker.
Reaction to the first public showing of “Rogue One,” which begins opening in international markets on Wednesday, will no doubt represent a relief to the multitudes of Star Wars fans. Disney’s review embargo also lifts Wednesday.
“Rogue One” is the eighth film in the Star Wars franchise but the first to step outside the narrative of the other seven films in a standalone story set shortly before the events of 1977’s original “Star Wars” — though Darth Vader, the Galactic Empire and The Death Star remain key elements.
It follows a group of rebel spies trying to steal the schematics for the Empire’s Death Star. It’s directed by Gareth Edwards (“Godzilla”) from a script by Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy.
Anticipation has been building for several days, particularly with a massive model of an X-Wing fighter placed on front of the Pantages. The festivities began with a red carpet that started at about 5 p.m. Saturday.
Disney is launching “Rogue One” accompanied by enormous expectations, four years after it acquired Lucasfilm from founder George Lucas in October, 2012, for $4 billion. “Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens” fulfilled the initial hopes last year with a $248 million domestic launch on its way to a worldwide box office gross of $2.1 billion. But Disney is on the hook for five more Star Wars films through 2021.
Recent forecasts have predicted that “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is on pace for an opening weekend of more than $130 million in the U.S., according to pre-release tracking.
Company head Bob Iger said in September the studio was not expecting the film to do “Force Awakens”-level business because it exists outside of the main narrative about the Skywalker clan. It relies largely on a new cast of characters, instead or bringing back fan favorites such as Han Solo and Princess Leia.

Star Wars Rogue1 approaches!!
Star Wars fandom is getting mighty feisty as Rogue1 approaches everybody’s buying tickets and checking out the new merchandise and Star Wars Lego and Tshirts and figures and adding it all into the Christmas stocking.
So now I’m wondering if the Rogue1 rumor’s of zero Jedi and zero Lightsaber’s are true, and I’ve got my own thoughts on the idea and I’m resolved to not be worried about a lack of nutcases with Lightsaber’s because that fire is nearly burned out of the Star Wars Galaxy until the New Hope arrives in his own farm boy fashion.
Another thing as the Timeline moves forward there’s Ezra Bridger and Kanan Jarrus both owners of buzzing glowy things and the Maul with it ALL has a buzzy glowy thing too and don’t forget Darth Vader killer of young and old and the Emperor has been known to fight with two Lightsaber’s too!!
OK now the Lightsaber issue is dealt with what about the Rebels and the forming of the Rebel Alliance do we see it built from the persistence of our Rebels Ghost Crew and the known Greater Rebellion?
In conclusion the Star Wars Dark Times have long ended and we are inundated with Star Wars now but for those of us from the generation from a long time ago in a Galaxy not so far away it was not always so…………

Darth Maul gets a Marvel Origin!!
“A deadly, agile Sith Lord trained by the evil Darth Sidious, Darth Maul was a formidable warrior and scheming mastermind. He wielded an intimidating double-bladed lightsaber and fought with a menacing ferocity. Though he fell in battle against Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Zabrak from Dathomir would prove to be much harder to destroy than originally believed.”
Marvel Star Wars may very well give us insight into how Maul survived getting chopped in half they may well give us his earlier Force training and weaponry tasks given by Darth Sidious and Marvel may well give further origin to us as Maul is a strong character but will Star Wars be giving to us the earlier story in canon of Darth Sidious and perhaps add further canon background on his own Master Darth Plageuis?
