The title is referring to Finn, who is a secret love child of Leia and Lando. Finn would be one light-ass motherfucker if that were the case. Not according to The Cosby Show.

I'm sure we've all seen the teaser. 1:30 of footage from the other movies, and flashes of things in this one. I'm guessing dark Rey with the glitching spear saber is a vision of a possible future.
Can't wait to see how it's all wrapped up.

A possible future where a multi-millionaire fanboy's silliest dreams come true.

Dark Rey is cool and all, but the shot that got my attention was the old Imperial fleet. My nerd brain has tons of theories and ideas rattling around.

I just learned there will be "treadspeeders" in Rise of Skywalker and my brain can't figure it out. We've seen land speeders, speeder bikes, swoop bikes, and hover tanks all of which travel ABOVE any terrain, so a vehicle that is essentially a speeder bike but with tank tread seems like the most idiotic step backwards to me.

But they gotta sell some new toys though! Then they should update the speeder bike like they did with the Tie Fighters, X-Wings, A-Wings, etc. Fucking thing is a huge step backward in tech to the point that it looks more like GI Joe than Star Wars.

Thought the same thing when I saw them. Even Luke's shitty jalopy didn't touch the ground. Unless the purpose of the things is specifically to flatten earth and run over people, then it's a dumb fucking idea.

There have been wheeled/tread vehicles in Star Wars before. The Republic used 6-wheeled tanks (they also showed up in Rogue One), Grievous had that dumb unicycle thing, and the Jawas have sandcrawlers. So there's precedent at least.

I haven't been this pumped for something Star Wars related since Force Unleashed.

Yeah, but Gina Carano. She's just sooooo bad at acting. But I'd still watch it, looks fun enough.

Gina was alright in Haywire, which was fucking badass. Granted, she didn't need to act much in that.

The only thing I've seen her in was Deadpool and I thought she was alright. Her fight with Colossus was cool.

Jedi: Fallen Order is a big delicious bowl of Star Wars chili. Some ingredients work better than others, it definitely could have used some more time to simmer on the stove, but man is it satisfying.

I take it back. Fallen Order is a broken game that needed at least another 6 months of development time but got rushed out in time for Christmas. Bad level design with a map system that’s such a pain in the ass to use that it’s barely worth it. They took elements from Uncharted, God of War, and Metroid Prime but made the worst possible versions of those games. And the combat system makes no goddamn sense.
This game sucks.

I was interested until they showed off the combat. Not my cup of tea.

I’m actually really enjoying it. The story is engaging and I like that the combat is more challenging than past Star Wars games. The fact that you have to time your blocks to parry attacks makes it feel more like you’re actually dueling. Is it perfect? No. But it’s a lot of fun.
Edit: Still enjoying the game as a whole, but FUCK DATHOMIR.

The interior sections look great but there are a few outdoors sections like the origin tree that look like straight up ass, almost like they were slapped together at the last second.

Soooo maybe I was a little hard on Fallen Order. It's not quite as bad as all that. Yes, the map system kinda sucks (and why oh why is there no fast travel "return to ship" option at the save points?) and the level design needs some serious work, but after sticking with it a while longer it started to click a little more. I'm still not really a fan of the block/parry combat system but that's due more to my preference to games like God of War over Dark Souls.
But it's still obvious that EA rushed this game out while the Star Wars hype train is in full blast when it really needed another few months of polishing.

EA rush something? You don't say! I've always thought they're run by sadists with a weird fetish for being reviled. Fully aware I'm a masochist who enjoys feeding them, though.
