Trailer Catch All

I am going to watch that of course, but I kind of wish they would let this time period of the Star Wars Universe die. Everything they do just seems to require them to retcon something from the OT. Like I totally love seeing Ewan back as Obi-Wan, but I would much rather see something different. Old Republic or High Republic or New Republic or Post New Republic or Pre-Republic or just any other time period than this in live action or animated content. Which reminds me I need to watch Star Wars: Resistance since that is basically the only video thing that happens in the Post Empire/New Republic era so far.

There's High Republic stuff coming down the road, but it's 23 or 24 before we see it

I thought The Last of the Jedi was supposed to open that door. And then all seniors exec at Disney freaked out when the movie wasn't well received.

The High Republic push has been around a year in motion and they just recently announced their 2nd part of it.

At this point I'll take Star Wars in any era as long as it isn't on, near, or visits Tatooine.

For such a small meaningless backwater planet a lot of stuff does go down there. That reminds me of one of my big Star Wars pet peeves of how almost every planet/moon they visit is a mono-biome. Forest Moon of Endor is all forest, Kashyyyk is even more foresty than that, and Dagobah is all swamp. Hoth and Tatooine actually make sense if you look at like Europa and Mars.

The death star is mono biome too.
Wait, that's no moon!

So in 13 years they haven't improved their CGI?

Dammit, they are going to get me to watch Westworld again, aren't they?

Ok, I'm in. Rebranding is probably a good idea.

When it was hunting an elite commando squad or basically living weapon Xenomorphs it was one thing, but hunting a dude with a bow and a hatchet with your shoulder cannon and cloaking device really doesn't seem so much like hunting worthy prey to me. Feels more like the Yautja version of a modern day trophy hunting safari for rich a-holes.

Ya. Like the asshole from GoDaddy filming himself using an elephant gun point blank and feeling all manly macho epeen.

They're still trailers though - why don't they belong here too?

And being pedantic, we don't know if those are going to be "hidden gems of Netflix" since they're not out yet.

I've been called out for double posting between the 2 channels. Personally don't care.

Wild Men

My problem with the streaming service threads is that I’m in Canada and we don’t have the same content by service or even the same available services a lot of the time. Consequently I stopped paying any attention to those threads. Not sure if things are more consistent by region these days or, with Netflix pushing so much of their own content, it matters anymore but that’s why I have no idea if things were posted there and I’m more interested in a general trailers thread.

But they only hunt the most dangerous game. So the question is, exactly when and how did man qualify as most dangerous game? This might answer that while ignoring the baggage of Predators and the AVP fiascos.

I remember at the end of Predator 2 when then tossed the flintlock pistol to Danny Glover's character clearly implying they had been hunting humans long before we had technology to match or even come close. So idea that they hunted pre-gunpowder humans is fine for me.

Yeah for better or worse they've hinted at this kind of thing throughout the franchise. If it's a good show, i'll be fine with it.

Even in the original, once Arnold was down to coming at it with fists and sticks, it followed suit and dumped all its gear...until it was losing, and then resorted to nuking them all, because in addition to having that random "code of honor" thing baked in from the beginning, it's also been baked from the beginning that the Code is also bullsh*t.
