I'm going to get intoxicated and attempt a PT marathon.

Just like all the other SW fans that hate the PT, I own them.

I threw mine away in a fit of minimalism.

Screw TNT and commercials.

Uninterrupted 4K on my blu-ray is the way to go.

People still make phone calls on their phones too! They even occasionally talk to other people. In person. Like real people.

I love it when old people cling to the old ways.

How come you and a few others want this forum to be your own personal hugbox so bad? I don't get it. This forum used to be fun because of the variety, now we rag on each other saying there's something wrong with the other person because they don't share the same opinion we do.

Not everything is gleaming rays of sunshine and positivity. Not all of this stuff is good. A lot of these dolls, statues and movies we talk about really do indeed suck and there's nothing wrong with people thinking that. I'm sick of seeing uppity members on here put down other users for being "grumpy and jaded" or "counter culture" while hiding behind the "code of conduct" if their opinion or view point is challenged. From thinking a Green Lantern doll is rightfully garbage to ripping on a dumb summer blockbuster, I've seen some disgraceful actions come out of this place.

If some of us are jaded cynics that are just trying to be edgy by offering a different opinion, well then maybe some of the people that just love all this stuff are gullible, naive, idyllics that have no taste and follow a herd mentality? Only fair right? Who knows how Rogue One is going to turn out. Some people think it looks good, some people think it looks bad. We're all having a discussion about it. What gets me is it's always the people that are stary eyed for something they haven't even seen that get all pompous and catty when someone comes in and challenges how they feel at the moment. I never see "grumpy pandas" like RIDDICK rolling his eyes with an emoji or ragging on other members when someone posts gushy praise over something he doesn't think is good. How come he, and members like him aren't given the same respect. It's that old "complain about the complainers" mindset that is by far worse than any negativity,

Just keep it up Snoop, you and your ilk are pushing people on here away.

There are parts of the prequels I liked but there is a lot of filler as well. I can still watch them and enjoy the parts I like and use them for background noise. Classic trilogy I will sit down and watch though. Part of it may be that I grew up with the original trilogy and that is my Star Wars. I was born in 74 so the prequels don't have the same effect on me.

Han Solo is a big part of what I liked about the OT. With the PT, the lack of not having his character around really made the films seem less entertaining.

That's why TFA was so special IMO, having him involved in the SW universe again made it fun to watch

Now I worry about the Ep VIII and Ep IX

ROTS looks spectacular on blu-ray and TPM replaces the crappy Yoda puppet with good CG Yoda.

I don't know if I like the CG yoda better, there's still that uncanny valley thing, the puppet catches the light better and it looks more alive than the CGI one.
But it's no deal breaker for me either way.

I wish they had cut some Jar Jar brinks though.

I don't doubt some sequence look great just my desire to watch the films don't justify a purchase......maybe I'll give it a rental....

I'm 39.

No movie, ever, is ever going to truly "reach" me again.

Cause I'm old now and movies aren't very good any more. At best, I'll see a movie and be like "Yeah, it was pretty good."

Nothing's every gonna change my world like SW, Indy, Ghostbusters, RoboCop, etc.

Cause I was a KID. We may be geeks but we'll never be kids again.

Eh, I get what you are saying man, but at the same time I just can't get behind it entirely.

For me atleast, I think a more accurate statement is that we can never go back to the same creative wells that really changed us when we were kids. Even if Episode 7 was a phenomenal film and the new Indy film blows us away, it will never really recapture the magic of being introduced to this world and set of characters for the first time. We can never expect to go into something (especially something we are already familiar with) thinking it will change us.

It wasn't a movie, but reading the "Mistborn" and "Stormlight Archive" book series last year captured my imagination in a way it hadn't been since childhood. The experience proved to me that I can still be taken in by a brand new fantasy world.
