“We’ve almost got some of their telecommunications cracked; the front end even runs on a laptop!” The Mac that sunk a thousand ships could have been merely clunky product placement, not a bafflingly stupid tech-on-film moment.

“Senator Amidala is in a coma. Even if she recovers, she will never be the same and may not live long.” But no… George had to have his god-damned funeral scene, even if it demanded Simone Biles levels of mental gymnastics to save Carrie Fisher’s most emotionally resonant moment from ROTJ, as well as one of the more intriguing OT lore dumps.

Bonus points if a scene was scripted or filmed and got cut.

    The Usual Suspects

    Spoilers below:

    At one point a character (I think it was Giancarlo Esposito, but not certain) mentions an English lawyer, to which another (Chazz Palminteri, I think) says >!“Kobayashi?”!<

    !GE nods. But since Kobayashi is not Pete Postlethwaite’s character’s real name, just the name on the bottom of a coffee cup, this makes no sense.!<

    !Could have been fixed by GE saying, “Probably” or “Yeah, maybe” or whatever.!<
