Having seen the film, most of it.

I still don’t get why the movie spent so much time on his drat dice. They don’t even do anything in it.

Han didn't race Lando's Falcon in the Slave1 though, which was the dumbest drat idea that I wish happened.

Is this them obnoxiously and joylessly crapping on the movie in question like the vast majority of half in the bag reviews? I stopped watching those like 2 or 3 years ago because I just couldn't take how smugly self-satisfied they were in their negativity on that show anymore.

They thought it was a potentially good movie brought down by poor pacing and atrocious cinematography. Except Rich, who loved it.

I don't think you actually ever watched HITB did you? Let me guess, they gave a movie you like a bad review and now it's "WHY DO THEY HATE EVERYTHING?!".

gently caress me, Mike eats up the schlockiest poo poo available like that Independence Day sequel or Jurassic World and there are still people moaning on about them being too negative

This bothers me more than it should. AFAIK the first time those things are even so much as acknowledged (on screen, at least) is in Last Jedi - where they are used as 'Thing that belonged to Han'. Presumably Star Wars people use psychometry rather then use their brains for holding memories.

Also not only is Teras Kasi now official canon, which makes me happy, but also either I've been pronouncing it wrong all this time (which is annoying) or the now canon pronunciation is wrong (which is SUPER annoying).

They don't know what umlauts are used for, apparently. You might be onto something with the psychometry, considering Rey is a nobody and yet she gets visions of Luke just from holding his lightsaber (which wasn't even present for the events shown...) and getting transdimensional voicemail from Obi-Wan.

Also, in one episode of the Clone Wars, Quinlan Vos literally uses psychometry to determine where a bounty hunter has gone so he and Obi-Wan can track him down.

It's sort of canon. The Outrider showed up in A New Hope special edition, and in The Clone Wars, Darth Maul took over the Black Sun crime syndicate. Considering he's dead as of Rebels, that gives room for Xizor to show up.

I guess I'm really out of the Star Wars loop, since I don't know who Tag and Bink are, and I'm not familiar with any of that other stuff.

The only character I wanted to see make it into the new movies was Grand Admiral Thrawn, but then I didn't even read the Heir to the Empire novels.

I thought there was some comic book story where Darth Maul got a cybernetic lower-half, and tried to kill Obi-Wan on Tatooine, only to get shot by Uncle Ben.

Thrawn ended up being the main antagonist in Rebels for their third season, and wasn't killed. He might come back in the movies still.

Thrawn's origin story has been adapted into the new Marvel comics and the Thrawn novel, and while he did have a weird end in Rebels, it doesn't preclude the Thrawn Trilogy from happening at some point.

Tag and Bink were a pair of comic relief Imperial characters who showed up in a run of Star Wars comics, which were semi canon due to their spoof nature. Think Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in Star Wars.

The Imperial Army are the mainline force of the Empire, not the stormtrooper poster boys, but the mass infantry and the vehicle operators.

The comic you're referring to is Old Wounds, which was a non canon story that has looped around into becoming canon since Maul came back with robot legs, and Obi Wan killed him in Rebels on Tatooine.

Also I think that loving Avenue Q song about how we're all a little bit racist and isn't that cute and fun ended up backfiring hardcore.
