Isn’t it a little weird how in the first movie, Han says that he’s never heard of the Jedi or the Force, but the Jedi only went extinct twenty years earlier?

in a world where there is little evidence of reading or writing, it isn’t too surprising. In fact, i am pretty sure i was struck by how many people seemed to know of the force as the movies went on, when it was first introduced as this rare unheard of thing. (i know, its just a movie)

You have been asked to explain your reasons - if you choose not to, or don’t see the point in doing so, then that is on you - do not deflect that onto others.

Sorry, this part you added (edited in) afterwards and was not included in my previous reply.

Anyway, you were the first one asking for explanation. Before you, dahmage and TV’s Frink were just being hostile and rude (pretty sure they broke at least two forum rules).

So I will restate my reasons for you. I think TFA hardly has a storyline. It is basically just a collection of elements they wanted to rehash plus some random elements that have nothing to do with what was supposed to be the main plot objective of the film (that is finding Luke). Just one of many examples: death star is completely irrelevant to the plot objective.

I stated that i reported you, and that i believe you are being an unreasonable troll for CONSTANTLY making the ridiculous statement that TFA is “pure shit”. If you only vented this over the top rating once or twice i would consider it just you venting, but you bring it up practically every time you choose to post on this site. Which really seems like the actions of a Troll. I guess i am the one that needs to change though.

If you think something is wrong you can just report. False accusations and especially name-calling is unnecessary (let alone against forum rules).

Thank you for your advice. i did think something was wrong and i did report it. I did not engage in false accusations or name-calling, so please don’t keep pulling this ‘holier than thou’ condescension on me.

I think we should all just leave it at that.

Poor title. It’s time for a “how are you going to title your SOLO fanedit ?”.

Falcon, Speeders and any smuggler’s ship.

I don’t think giving a movie a new title counts as a fanedit… But that’s just me. I also don’t judge a movie by its title, it really has nothing to do with the quality of a movie. But again that’s just me.

Well this isn’t good.

https://www.krackattacks.com/

We discovered serious weaknesses in WPA2, a protocol that secures all modern protected Wi-Fi networks. An attacker within range of a victim can exploit these weaknesses using key reinstallation attacks (KRACKs). Concretely, attackers can use this novel attack technique to read information that was previously assumed to be safely encrypted. This can be abused to steal sensitive information such as credit card numbers, passwords, chat messages, emails, photos, and so on. The attack works against all modern protected Wi-Fi networks. Depending on the network configuration, it is also possible to inject and manipulate data. For example, an attacker might be able to inject ransomware or other malware into websites.

The weaknesses are in the Wi-Fi standard itself, and not in individual products or implementations. Therefore, any correct implementation of WPA2 is likely affected. To prevent the attack, users must update affected products as soon as security updates become available. Note that if your device supports Wi-Fi, it is most likely affected. During our initial research, we discovered ourselves that Android, Linux, Apple, Windows, OpenBSD, MediaTek, Linksys, and others, are all affected by some variant of the attacks. For more information about specific products, consult the database of CERT/CC, or contact your vendor.

Yeah, not good.

Orville has been feeling more cheap and cheap to me, and McGuy is getting on my nerves.

i watched ep 3 of discovery and was like, hey i think i am starting to like this, then more Klingons showed up in ep4 and i was a little disappointed. But, it did finally become interesting to me. They really did a poor job of starting the series off though.
