    Are we talking just kinda "noticeable bad" or "Jeff Bridges in Tron: Legacy" bad?

    it was noticeable, but not earthshattering. Overall R1 was good, but it really could have been better with fewer characters and a bit more characterization of the ones that remained.

    also. oh god. That pun Vader delivers to Krennic. eurrrrrhhgghghhh.


    The more I reflect on it, I think I liked TFA better, but YMMV

  5. I probably like some of the characters from Force Awakens more but I definitely prefer the tone and story from Rogue One.

    I'm just here to say I'm seeing it in the cheap theaters, where I can actually afford to see it, and therefor I will continue to avoid seeing all trailers and reading all threads on it.

    That's right, I'm here to tell you all I haven't read anything in here. At least not for about 3 or so months.

    See, the big problem with this theory is George Lucas would have had to have come up with it. Let's just accept that the Star Wars universe consists entirely of coincidence and plot holes and not worry too much about it.

    There was also the thing in the Cloud City where R2 makes a beep as it and Luke are trying to sneak up on the Stormtroopers and Boba Fett, as R2 makes a beep Boba Fett turns his head as in hearing the beep but pretends that he didn't hear it, they move away from the exposed part and set up a counter ambush.

    There is actually a pretty good chance that in his golden days Lucas might have been on top of his game.

    And then later "o' how the mighty have fallen" hit him.

    But really, no need to worry too much about stuff.

    I keep people complaining about canon this canon that -

    As an answer to someone talking about "which canon you prefer" or so. It's still not a religion ruled from a fricking Disney's Holy See and enforced by Disney Inquisitors or Super Fan Inquisitors.

    That doesn't mean I will relinquish my right to take enormous personal offense if someone doesn't unconditionally love and embrace SW. The heretics must be burned.

    --------------
    Today, viewing #2.

    Because, fuck my job and if I got fired it would be the third best thing that happened to me this year.

    So I'ma going. Already went and grabbed a ton of licorice and liqueur fills:

    I just need to avoid taking any hard drugs this morning before the film not because I'm at work but because I want to be relatively sober. But I think I can manage it if I stick to forums and Corgi videos at work and pretend that I'm not at work.

    I can do this!

    Anyone else notice the Mark Hamill voice later in the movie.

    its a part at the end on yavin 4 when all the X wing squadrons are getting ready and flying out to scarif for the final battle.

    only about 8 to 10 seconds of speech time but ends with "may the force be with you"

    or it sounds like mark hamill to me.



    also watching the movie the 2nd time i noticed at the end that Darth Vader just stares at the rebel ship Leia's blockade runner is hiding in for a bit to long... like he knows something.

    maybe why he wants to go on board. because he senses something.

    Embrace fatalism. You have absolutely no control over your life. Might as well pick up heroine habit and who knows, in 2 years you might be a billionaire. Can't fight your fate and all!

    I'ma fricking Lead Dev! That means I'm in the best spot. Getting fired? I get a new job with better pay and I don't have to care about if the project fails which it will by the way. Getting to keep my job? I don't have to search for a new job.

    And working is mostly as above. Screwing around and watching as the hourly rate keeps dropping on the account and seeing how "years of experience" in the latest 'rank' keeps adding up -> more money in the future.

    The cost is heavy. I hate my life. I hate making games. Life is awful bullshit. The only way to get through is not giving a shit and dancing with the water hose and doing the things you love, such as seeing Star Wars 3 times over a course of week.

    *I expect to be nominated for the title of most positive and upbeat person of 2016.

    I say we give him the trial of all trials in Star Wars. The question of who shot first Han Solo or Greedo?

    It's Anakin's fault for cheating at the Boonta Eve Classic. Otherwise Greedo wouldn't have gotten into the life in the first place

    That's how we should have known would become evil. Qui gon was fine with anakin cheating by using the force. Everyone knows humans can't fly podracers.

    is it really cheating when you're using it to bridge an obvious gap in ability in the first place? It's not significantly different than using superior mechanical skill or an understanding of physics, or genetically heightened reflexes. If that's cheating then I suppose they should just tie them up put bags over their heads and then let them race. Though there might still be some genetic advantage in that circumstance :p
