Memnarch's predictions for the movie continue to be spot-on.

Damn, that would be nuts if they brought in another eight-year-old to play a character in this film. I almost wish they had.

Mmm. Now I want to get out my astrophysics hat and calculate how many people worth of blood that must be to create the observed optical density of the "nebula" or whatever that is.

I really like the exotic world building that the players of this campaign do. Makes the story feel richer — certainly than in the films, which don't bother to explain most of it.

The cape joke, funny as it is, reminds me of a question that continues to bug me about this whole campaign: do the players have visual references for their characters? Artwork, miniatures, digital files, that sort of thing.

It just seems odd to be making comments about how the characters dress unless they hold that information very present in their own minds.

For at least one of the campaigns, a couple of them were playing remotely from another continent. So I think technological aid is easy to assume.

It's a tough competition, but I think the way they used archival footage of Carrie Fisher, and the way the scenes warp around her in a strained attempt to make it look like she's commenting on the plot that was written after she died, is probably my least favourite part of the whole movie.

Huh. I have so many least favorite parts of the movie that it's hard to pick any single one out.

And so much for a reforging scene. Writer idea conflict perhaps? It feels weird to have the lightsaber fixed with no issues at all, so writers just making it be fixed like 5 minutes into the movie means either they didn't like the way that plot idea was going, or it wasn't meant to be an issue. And that second one just feels like wasting an opportunity.

Get ready for a lot of that.

Ah, the clone thing. I'm not sure I've ever seen or read a work in which it improves the story to have infinite backup copies of characters. Except Paranoia.

You think they'll show Palpatine's message in full? Will they use Fortnite screencaps to do it?

Wait, wait, wait. I just realized - this whole setup is at the bottom of an ocean in the comic? I'm pretty sure that's not what the movie says.

Anyway, Palpatine's MLM scheme as the primary plot driver here is hilarious.

Yes, I don't think "breathable fluorocarbon ocean" was ever hinted to be the case in film canon, not even In the Manual.
