I get where you're coming from, but that would be a VERY condensed version of what was an entire trilogy of books on its own, which seems pretty thin as a single movie. It would cut so much out for runtime it just wouldn't do the story justice. Maybe two movies, but one? Even the Hobbit had enough material for three movies, and that was a dingle book, that wasn't as long collectively as the Zahn trilogy was!

I think if we wanted to fluff it out, they could possibly seed in a few bits from some of the other books of that timeframe, just for worldbuilding, if nothing else. Maybe a bit of extra background on some of the characters, like Talon Kaard, among others. A flash bavk or two on Mara's early life and training, some of the history of how Thrawn got where he was, that sort of thing. Maybe even a LA version of his involvement in the earlier wars.

A Gina Carano interview from a few days ago:



I'd skip over the bits with the largely annoying host (you're get Gina Carano to talk to on your show but spend the first 5 minutes explaining the dumb origin of your own dumb nickname?), but there is some interesting stories from her here.

I'm a fan myself, so I knew true fans would love it, but to see them thrilled beyond belief with the exuberance of children, whooping it up, screaming in ecstasy, the tears of sheer joy...it's a rollercoaster of emotions I'll never forget. #I_LOVE_UPFs 2/2

Mark Hamill really triggered some star wars fans (mainly sequel fans) when he said TRUE FANS would love the return of Luke in Mando. Reading the replys its only Disney Sequel fans whining about how do you say who true fans are or aren't

People who like the Sequel Trilogy have no business even talking about Star Wars to begin with. Their opinions are terrible and they like terrible things.

People often say "There's no way an opinion can be wrong," but that's nonsense. Some people are of the "opinion" that Hitler was Right, and some people think "The Last Jedi" was a good movie. In either case, that "opinion" is clearly garbage and they should cram it up their stinkhole.

Your words soothe my troubled soul like a holy balm.

Preach, oh brother. Speak truth to power.

...

Or, really, speak truth to fellow nerds huddled around our tiny virtual campfire.

Did you ever notice that people who say opinions can't be wrong are always that sort of underdeveloped @$$ hole or manipulator who "can't be wrong?"

It's like... dude your opinion is wrong because the whole premisice of how you formulated your opinion was either wrong, based on poor information or your mental algebra was way off (basically too dumb to understand the information the right way).

People who say opinions can't be wrong tend to be problem people in real life. And of course they'll say that opinions can't be wrong - like I said, they don't understand the initial information about what opinions are. They think it's just some freedom to think anything you want and call it opinion.

Yep.

Pineapple does not belong on pizza, anyone who likes black licorice eats truck tires, The Grateful Dead are f*cking terrible, and "Batman Returns" is a Christmas movie.

There's people out there who will argue with each and every one of those points. And sure, they're entitled to their Opinion but it doesn't change the Fact that their "opinion" is F*CKING WRONG.

You shut the fuck up.

A pizza with pepperoni, bacon (NOT Canadian, true bacon), jalapeno, pineapple, red onion, and fresh garlic and cilantro is the truest, purest form of pizza there is.

I wouldn't have ever ordered this pizza. But all I ate today was split pea soup and I'm hungry.

If that pizza was here. I would eat it. I got you man. And that pizza.

My first job was a pizza place when I was a kid. I used to think the same thing, but then someone at the store made it and I thought it was great. I don't order it. But when it's there, I'm in.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Dude I honestly laughed out loud here in the office when I read this.

Now that is projecting, my friend. HAHAHAHA Like a logic statement: "If you eat black licorice, then you are, indeed, an @$$hole"!

HAHAHA OMG....

I call only call what I see, homie!

Black Licorice Fans? Contrarian Twatwaffles.

Grateful Dead Fans? Smell bad. Small animals nest in their hair and they may or may not notice or care about that.

"The Last Jedi" Fans? Contrarian Millennial Twats who think Wumyn Protagonist in and of itself justifies plot holes, Franchise Rape and wall-to-wall bad writing. "Leia Poppins was AWESOME because you weren't expecting THAT were ya! OMFG this movie's so SMART!"

Like I said... I can ONLY call what I SEE.

Wow. Just... wow.

If a little blood worries you, I'm assuming you eat your steaks charred to ruination? And you call us heathens.

Trust me, man, the sweetness of the pineapple goes amazingly well with the spice of the jalapeno and onion. And the cilantro gives everything a distinct flair. Gotta use fresh cilantro, though.

And you can skip the bacon; I often do.

On that, we all agree. Yuck.

Eating steak and eating pussy aren't even the same sport, Jack.

With one, you WANT there to be blood dripping everywhere. The other... not so much.

There are other distinctions. Such as, I can eat steak without someone paying me $50 first.
