So RLM looks to be right, Han and Chewie are a couple of pedestrian hobos at this point? ref interview comment about how Han's still no good with money, and "we're home" line from that one teaser back when, implying they've not been spending much time on the Falcon.

it's actually the moment after they dock with Home One, Ackbar's ship
― μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 20:34 (nine years ago) link
If multiple missions playing Xwing/Tie Fighter are any indication, Home One was blown away long ago by an errant pilot who got bored on a mission and decided to see how many hits it would take to destroy certain critical hard points on an Alliance capital ship.

EW talks to Lupita Nyongo about her character, which apparently appears on the movie poster:

I dig how Andy Serkis is getting a double paycheck as both onscreen actor and mocap advisor
― Professor Goodfeels (kingfish), Thursday, 12 November 2015 20:45 (nine years ago) link
He should just wear a mocap suit 24/7 and spend his life walking funny and contorting himself, just to build a licenseable archive. When they get around to making that movie about a CGI creature that sleeps all the time, he'll be printing money.

Per that great Red Letter Media prediction episode, what exactly does the Empire do with its power besides build Death Stars? They're kind of a one-trick pony, aren't they? Conquering worlds to get resources to build Death Stars to conquer worlds to get resources to build Death Stars to ... It's like a Spacemen 3 album title.

lol thats another thing the prequels could have looked into. maybe it ultimately is about taxation and trade deals.

They give a sensible rationale in ANH in the officers meeting, which actually is a neat scene that I don't think we get another one of quality(not counting the prequels' shitty attempts).

"Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station."
This scene is also where he mentions how the Imperial Senate has been dissolved by the Emperor, and now regional governors have direct control over their respective territories.
So, yeah, mobile doomsday weapon to backstop an authoritarian power-grab.
And *of course* Wookieepedia has a write-up for it:

i like Carrie Fisher, GOTT (moreso when she learned to act a little), but that character as a future general is mighty funny.
also fuck PC bullshit as always

Watching Jedi with the girls. They find the Ewoks adorable and keep asking why Luke keeps kissing his sister, because it's gross.

Also, they have no idea they're called Ewoks, so they call them Super Bears.
