Haha, cute! Vader’s having none of it though! (Either that or he’s telling him to pull his finger)

Thanks for sharing man!

Very cool! :clap


Damn, looks like a Force skull crush and not just a Force choke. He isn't kidding around :lol

It doesn't look like his skull that he's trying to crush! :horror

LOL! Thanks fellas, he’s 4 and obsessed with everything Star Wars. And he’s actually had more training than Rey :lol
 
It opens a pandora's box though. Because it WAY more evenly matches the FO and the Resistance, and Empire and Rebellion.

It's like saying that a small terrorist group is somehow able to turn regular gunpowder into a nuclear material. It turns the "brave band" assymetric warfare (small group with little gear versus gigantic monolith with planet-sized spaceships) that is the staple of SW on its head.

What you (and others) don't seem to understand is that weaponized hyperspace is a TOTAL game-changer for the SW universe: making a small band of rebels with hyperspace-capable ships able to take out massive dreadnaughts, Star Destroyers and even possibly a Death-Star-type station (though I know people are already retconning "shields" to plug that gushing hole.)

It also DESTROYS the aspect of valour or bravery seen in OT battle - it makes a mockery of those idiots who attacked the first Death Star, and all the other bravery seen in battles seen in the OT. Because it was all a waste because a simple, super-easy, low-cost option that ANYONE COULD OR SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF was available.

And so say "no one thought of it" is willful evasion/blindness - we see vast scientific research centers in RO, the intensive technology that built star destroyers and death stars, and you have a rebellion on its desperate last legs, massively outmatched and outgunned, looking for anything to help in their fight...

And people are seriously going with "no one thought of it before"? .:slap:lol

If anything the rebellion should be considered "above" killing their own people for their cause.. Its one thing to do it when there is no other way.. Its another when its an actual battle plan.

I get what you are saying.. But I truly believe that if this happens in a better movie.. Nobody cares.

Han stepping over Jabba tail is 100 x worse than anything in TLJ.

Ah it was not that bad.. THe scene is useless but It was an imaginative way to get by it.. Granted the first SE Jabba was possibly the worst CGI ever...The redo of the redo looks much better.

Regardless I had no issue with it.. It was out of character I agree.. But still funny IMO.. Funnier then any of the jokes in TLJ

You could argue that with most intellectual properties though. Harry Potter, Dragon Ball Z/Super, etc.

And I’m not suggesting the notion that people should simply let the OT die. It will never fade. It is the timeless classic of the franchise. However, in the scope of these new films, too much emphasis is put on things from the OT and it’s beginning to hamper the enjoyment for those placing that kind of weight on it.


By the way, unless you’re a twelve year old, most of us have been with Star Wars for the last thirty plus years. Just saying. It’s gotten plenty of support, lol.

I would have been happy to have these films have nothing to do with the original cast.. The film should have been a hundred years after Jedi.. That would have been much better then taking a dump on the lives of our hero's after the events of Jedi.

TLJ just exceeded The Dark Knight's domestic earnings and is on pace to pass the original Avengers as well where it will settle at #5 all-time.

I remember when the top 10 grossing films of all time use to be almost all timeless quality. Star Wars, ET, JAWS, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park... Now its covered with shame and regret :lol
 
Seriously though.. I cant get over what High ticket prices and more theaters has done to the top grossing films..

Hell I love RO but I was surprised to see that it made it to the top 10

Agree with everything in this post. Especially that top 10 list... it means nothing now. None of the earnings do anymore.

For example does anyone actually believe Frozen is the best of the Disney animated flicks, that it’s box office makes it better than Beauty and the Beast or the little mermaid? Or that the BatB live action is better than the original due to how much it grossed? Or... Jurassic world? Does age of ultron deserve that spot? Etc

The only thing that hasn’t changed is that Cameron rules the roost, whether one thinks that’s a good or bad thing.
 
Adjusted for inflation makes me feel much better :lol

Granted re releases helped these films but man.. It sure is a better looking list... Still some stinkers though :lol

The only worthwhile movie in that top ten is TDK.
And I'm not a huge fan of it.

At least DMC is worthy of that top 10.
 
Well, I really like TDK, but I don't see it as the second coming of Christ, as some fans would have it.
It's a really good movie, just not that good IMHO.

I think people would be underwhelmed by the second coming of Christ nowadays too. Just tweet about it for a few days then forget about it.

Or call it fake news :lol

Anyway Batman begins is my fave of the bunch but I can see why TDK had the appeal it did, and it is a really good movie.
