Coincidence that X-wing Dice are Red and Green...?

Star-Wars-X-Wing-Dice-Pack.jpg I think not!

If Holiday events are keeping you from playing X-wing. Here is an idea.

Coming where, did I miss something?

I can't wait until Episode IX, when Chewbacca's son flies in to rescue the Resistance, spurred on by the Force-ghost of Art Carney.

Well, you know, Lumpy is actually canon thanks to Aftermath III...

Holiday Special is still better than The Last Jedi .

Still better than anything Disney has done with star wars.

I can't tell if you're saying that because you've never actually watched the Holiday Special, or if you're saying that because you have and it's driven you to madness.

I was forced to watch it when I was at University ages ago. A friend of mine had it on VHS (late 90's). Its hot garbage but at least it had the original cast (who maintained their actual characters) plus an animated bobba fett. Disney Star Wars has a very high production value but the plots and story are WORSE in my opinion than the Holiday Special.

Ah, yes. The cartoon in which Boba debuts his trademark of looking really cool while not actually accomplishing anything.

Solo is still better than New Hope and RotJ combined.

He still accomplished more than Phasma.

"Other characters are worse" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of him, assuming the statement is even true in the first place.

Mostly just meant it as a quick joke.

Boba did his job so the Empire could capture the falcon, and he did get away with Han and deliver him to Jabba. Phasma on the otherhand tells some guys to gun down villagers, turns off the Starkiller base shield, and then gets hit in the head and 'dies' in Disney fashion to gravity/falling. It doesn't help that TLJ cut the scene of her shooting the stormtroopers after Finn told them of how she turned off the base's shields which at least does show her trait of doing whatever it takes to survive.

You're not fun at parties, are you?

Doesn’t matter. Boba was ******* cool looking, and nobody gave a **** that he didn’t actually *do* anything until after the prequels. Bossk and Dengar (hobo-stormtrooper) did even less than Boba despite also being at Jabba’s Palace, 4-Lom and Zuckus are barely mentionable, and IG-88 was literally an alcohol brewing machine turned droid bounty-hunter.

If the narrow window of events that ESB and RotJ represent are to be used as the gold-standard for bounty-hunters, then the profession is filled with nothing but dismal failures who just stand around looking cool.

Ah yes, nothing brings out family feuds quite like the Holidays.

But my introduction to TSWHS I recommend you watch this review before you watch the holiday special. The VR scene made a buddy of mine vomit at the thought. That is how bad the Holiday Special, people throw up while watching it!

No arguments here.

I suggest you watch the following videos to understand how terrible the Disney Star Wars movies are before criticising the Holiday Special.

Disney Star Wars movies have a high production value and are visually amazing. However, the story is utter garbage with large amounts of plot holes and inconsistencies. If you are the kind of person that enjoys turning off your brain and looking at flashing lights, Disney Star Wars is for you. If you actually are interested in a good story, you probably won't enjoy Disney Star Wars Movies.

I take it you’re not a fan of the prequels, as well?

Oh I've seen them all, and I agree while Disney has given some production value to $tar War$ it has done nothing for the story. I clearly expect to walk out of the theater after watching Episode IX, feeling the same way I felt after watching Episode III (was that it?). I also seen what created the Holiday Special and how some of it may have bled over in the clone wars.

It is also like watching the behind the scenes to the Prequels as it brings clarity into movie production. At least there GL allowed some showing of humanity (something Disney refuses to do). As for the new movies and what went wrong, I sort of want to figure that out too but to breach KK's inner circle, well you will have better luck infiltrating the Krimlin. Disney even in the behind the scenes throws this delusion of perfection which exasperates the flaws of their products even more so. I like TLJ after I watched it, but trying to figure out what went wrong and seeing Disney actively sending their cleaners and fixers to cover up their mess makes me dislike it and all their $tar War$ movies even more. At least we have the Original Star Wars trilogy.

If I like the sequels, is hearing how someone else doesn't like them really going to change my mind? Watching a review to decide if I want to go see a movie is one thing. But if I've already seen a movie, I should be able to decide for myself whether or not I like it without having to consult other people online.
