Ping.
I can already hear the guys at Red Letter Media...
Absolutely no originality in writing.
>>If a Star Wars prequel about the Death Star data tapes can make over a billion, then a prequel about one song in Grease might be successful too.<<
The better comparison is to “The Star Wars Christmas Special.”
That was more watchable than The Last Jedi.
Modern writers have zero imagination, but if we were truly living in Hell, wouldn’t this star two gay guys?
I saw it when i was a kid and i thought it was gay and stupid and the Outsiders was better, the girls in 8th grade loved it for some reason, probly all the snapping gum.
The exchange student at my school actually WAS an Australian girl.

Bea Arthur made more sense than Diversity Hire Rose.
The subtitle of “The Last Jedi” should have been “End of a Franchise.” And sub-subtitled “get woke, go broke.”
Never watched the original, or anything that spinned off it, so I won’t be watching any prequel. I used to like musicals, especially those of Rogers & Hammerstein, West Side Story, and Jesus Christ Superstar. Can’t stand any of them now.

Watch them make Olivia NJ’s character a tranny.
My new favorite Star Wars trilogy is:
#3 (whatever it's called, with the Anakin Skywalker who emotes like a Wooden Indian, and the big swordfight that was pretty cool, on the lava planet).
"Rogue One", the movie in question.
#4, "A New Hope", which was the fantastic space western which started it all 42 years ago.
I saw it as a little kid, when it originally aired. Even back then, as just a tot, I could tell that it was awful. Plumbed depths of badness that my young mind couldn't comprehend.
How, exactly would that pitch go? "It's Star Wars. Harvey Korman AND Bea Arthur? On Screen with Harrison Ford? What could possibly go wrong? We will make MILLIONS!"
The Broadway show starred Barry Bostwick and Adrienne Barbeau, both of whom went on to do other popular things (Bostwick did Rocky Horror and Spin City, Barbeau did Maude and The Fog).
The movie was a pretty good adaptation, tying in Sid Caesar, Eve Arden, Edd Byrns, Joan Blondell, and Frankie Avalon from 1950s and 1960s film and TV.

You can relive the horror anytime you choose, thanks to YouTube.

I expect the movie will completely trash 1950s ala Mad Men.
Yet another reason to say “MARANATHA”
“Took her bowling in the arcade
We went strolling drank lemonade”
That’s already a more interesting plot than most of what Hollywood is releasing these days.
She is pretty. I only saw the movie once because I was watching it with a new girl I was seeing.
