Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week, the topic is Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith - the last movie in the Prequel Trilogy, the third movie chronologically, the fourth fifth SW movie filmed, and... fourth third movie in the Machete watching order?

(I had such a hard time picking a fun article to link. The one on wired.com from 2012, which calls it "new"? The 2017 one from time.com written just before the first Sequel movie? The Vanity Fair one that suggests a new "Rey Order"? )

Anyway. If you have thoughts (or feels) about this movie, come and share.

Welcome to the Monday chat corner! This week, it's time to talk about ***Episode II: Attack of the Clones***. Now that I'm thinking about it, it's interesting that there's such a big time skip between Episode I and Episode II. The Original Trilogy has time skips too, but they're very subtle, and the Sequels have nearly none. That makes me wonder... if you were to replot the Prequel Trilogy to eliminate this skip, how would you do this? What would you change, and how? Characters, settings, plot points...? (...I'm aware this sounds like a writing assignment but I swear I'd love to know, this is *crunchy*!)

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

It's time for a SW movie again, and we're back at the beginning with Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Fun fact, this is the fourth time we are talking about this movie. (Well. If anyone comments on this post. I'm not completely delusional, I know this comm is pretty quiet.)

I feel like there's something wrong with my math, because in previous years we've hit TPM somewhere in May. I haven't missed a movie, have I??? Maybe one of the "specials" fell on a movie week in previous years and not in this one.

Ah, well. Maybe Disney will finally drop another movie, so it will square up again.

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

I’m back on my bullshit trawling through the Wookieepedia timelines, this time the Timeline of canon media, and for this week’s topic I bring you the earliest media piece now included in current canon that isn’t the movies or the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV show: Star Wars Journeys: The Phantom Menace, an iPhone app that… honestly, I’m not sure. Recaps Episode I, I guess.

Is there anything to talk about? Probably not. Will that make me drop the gimmick of “first ever” and look for something more interesting? Definitely not. Go forth and discuss whatever vaguely topic-related you can find.

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week’s topic is the second part of the Prequels trilogy, “Star Wars: The Attack of the Clones”, which came out in 2002. I can’t believe the movie is old enough to drink now!

If you’ve been around when we talked about the movie last year, has anything changed in your thoughts? Any new fic you wrote or read, any new fanart or fanvid you’ve made or seen?

And if you haven’t, what are your thoughts? Yay/nay/meh?

For extra credit, give us a question you would ask other SW fans about the movie, silly or serious. I’m not collecting them for next year I swear

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week we start another round through the Star Wars movies, with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. If you’re curious or nostalgic, you can check out our chat from 2021 and 2022. Otherwise, well, what do you think? Who is your favorite and least-favorite character? And have you ever read/watched/played any tie-in EU material?

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week, the topic is “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith”. Bring your tissues, this is the one where (almost) everyone dies!

If you’re not in the mood for sad, please discuss whether this is also the most memed movie in the saga or not. Evidence welcome. (I know I have that “look at all the fucks I don’t give Anakin” gif somewhere…)

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week’s optional topic is “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones”, the second movie of the Prequel trilogy. Romance, mass murder, double-bluffing Sith, and so many clones!

Also, a periodic reminder that if you don’t feel like talking about the prompt, anything else SW-related is welcome here as well, including recs and self-recs.

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

This week we start our walk through the Star Wars movies again, with “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace”, the chronological beginning of the Star Wars saga (well, at least the movie version of it).

What are your thoughts? Speaking of beginnings, do you think we will ever get a movie set before TPM?

(And for the few who have been here for this topic last year, do you remember what you’ve said back then? :D)

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

 

Optional chat prompt

This week’s topic is “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones”. Second movie in the prequel trilogy, little Ani is all grown up and here to give us all a load of second-hand embarrassment! Also, is it just me or does Padmé’s penthouse look like a cross between Art Deco and 90s hotel lobby?

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

 

Optional prompt

This week, I finally get to my last category of prompts (yes, there is a system): the movies! We’ll go by in-universe chronology, so our topic is “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace”, aka Episode I, aka the one with little tyke Anakin Skywalker, Jar-Jar Binks, and midichlorians. Like it? Hate it? Don’t care about it?
