Last weekend I dressed up as Chewbacca for Halloween. I expected to be hot in the costume but I wasn't prepared at all for the effect it would have on people. I had people shouting from their cars with how they loved Chewie, people asking for photos and kids running up to give me hugs or high fives wherever I went. At one point I had 10 -15 kids surround me with joyful looks on their faces, but one little girl really brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye when she hugged me, looked up and said 'you're my favorite Chewie, I love you so so much'. It was quite an experience and I felt like a celebrity.
So if Disney have any ideas about killing off Chewbacca in the movies then they should rethink it, as the love for the big Wookiee runs deep.
So I just finished binge watching Rebels Season 2. Holy cow, that was amazing. It was so good, I wish I had an easy way to watch Season 3 (will probably have to wait for the Blu-Ray release again)
Hop on my discord, I'll share a website with you that you can watch it on about an hour after it airs.
One of my favorites episodes from Rebels S3 is "The Last Battle", a great throwback to the Clone Wars series. They even used the Clone Wars font and theme for the ending card!

It's a modded supreme costume, with a tighter body and a fixed up bandolier; but the biggest change is in the mask which I remade with a movable jaw. It's nowhere near 501st quality but it's a lot better than the regular supreme costumes.
People always seem happy to see Chewie though, even those shabby looking ones.
Just saw Rogue One. It was fantastic. The start was a little slow, but it gets better as it goes on and the last 3rd or so of the movie was beyond excellent, and the ending was perfect. It really put the "war" in Star Wars and was actually quite dark. Despite knowing the result, it still felt like the stakes were high and that there was a chance of failure.
Rogue One actually made A New Hope better, and changes how you think about the film.

Indeed. I also liked that they didn't rely as much on nostalgia as episode 7, but still managed to put enough cameos in that it felt like any other Star Wars movie.
Characters like Mon Mothma and Bail Organa, and probably more that I completely missed from the prequel trilogy. CGI Leia, couldn't tell the difference to be honest. I did notice Moff Tarkin right away, but that's because I knew the original actor passed away about 20 years ago. Still, it was pretty impressive and a good way to tie this movie in with A New Hope. Anyway, my friends I was going with didn't even notice he was CGI at first, so I guess they did a pretty good job. Anyway, other minor cameos like the two tugs Luke starts a fight with in the Cantina were there. And R2D2 and C3PO of course, gotta have those two in a SW film.
Anyway, ending was satisfying. All in all, good film.
Totally sucks. But honestly, i was almost expecting it after her heart attack and emergency medical situation last week. Damn shame, she will be missed.
Effing 2016 needs to stop killing off our beloved celebrities and end already.
So Carrie's mother (Debbie Reynolds) has passed now just a day after. A case of death by a broken heart. At least mother and daughter are together again.

Funny you mention that, as i was thinking about doing the exact same thing, even before Carrie's death; Rogue One put me in a very Star Wars-y mood — even more than usual (you TC'ers and classic NLChat'ers who have seen my lightsaber collection - and my joy of virtually "attacking" @LordJumpMad with the sabers - know full well my love of SW).
