Kennedy could have said no to Lucas’s crazy ideas, but keep the good ones.

Yeah we sure have seen that with Leia’s flying sequence and Rey learning the jedi mind trick in the blinck of an eye…

Please explain this (your) perceived responsibility that Kennedy has, that should use her title as President Of Lucasfilm, to overrule the writers and directors of these films - and remove certain scenes you didn’t like, or agree with - or haven’t understood (this especially so with the learning of the Jedi mind trick).

And then explain what context it is to this thread.

If you don’t think Kennedy is a very good President explain why, if you don’t think she’d be a be a good co-lead with Lucas in an imaginary situation where they are both at the head of Lucasfilm and she and George bounce ideas off each other etc, then say why.

As for the changing history of the Sequel Trilogy by George over time:-

I’m half-way through the video and think I’ll be giving the Council Of Geeks more a watch on that - thanks for the heads-up mate 😃
 

This may be of interest (I only watch/listen to a few youtubers) - though found his 7 minute video on clickbait, and this specific incident, to be quite illuminating:-

The Misguided Uproar Over International Solo Posters - Last Week in Clickbait - by Star Wars Explained

Looks a good laugh & a lot of fun too - plus it’s coming to the UK soon too…

Cool shed-cinema idea here - it’s a bit of a bunny…

One would only hope that that is either air conditioned/heated or located in a temperate enough climate. I don’t see a wall unit.

Aye, with no windows could get a bit hot in there.

Edit, some more info here - https://www.toriicinemas.com/classic7seater, with a reference to an air extraction fan (though no real details).

I’m in an affected area, so I’m not sure whether to put this here or in the Bitching Thread.

Am surprised there isn’t a ‘tech news’ type thread on here.

Spain sack their manager one day before the World Cup starts:-

Spain vs Portugal is on Friday…

 

I kinda think Spain didn’t have a choice - what were Madrid and the manager thinking? Timing of statement was stupid!

Not sure I understand why they announced it. I guess for transfer targets to know who the manager was for but you’d think they would have given Spain FA more than 5 mins notice

Good point - seems there may have been a leak or possibly some politics involved. Real Madrid, eh?

Hierro as manager too… experienced and respected as a player, serving his time and earning his dues coming up as a coach - though that’s a big ask, and in far from ideal circumstances!

Wonder if Spanish FA will sue Real for tapping up their manager? And how Real will try and manage the PR side - I imagine a lot of Spain fans won’t be happy with what’s gone on there…

Not that it matters, but the version on there isn’t my Xvid - it seems to be a VHS to DVD.

Hello mate,

I’ve been searching for this and evening with Gary Lineker and I am coming up short.

Any chance you still have them both?

MSWD is in parts on YouTube but parts have been removed!

Lineker is on YouTube and it’ll do!

If you can point me in any direction for summer with des id be pumped!

Gutted it never came out on DVD.

Moth3r hasn’t been on the site for a while - though I may be able to help you out on this. Check your PMs mate.

Are those the original colours or are they fan made? I’ve seen this poster before, but only as a B&W sketch.

According to this - http://www.starwarsarchives.com/dt_gallery/1983-posters/ - it may well be an official poster - by Drew Struzan.

Some cool posters on that site - be careful - you could spend a few hours there… 😃

^ I don’t recall seeing it before (though I don’t recall what I had for breakfast this morning 😉) ) - definitely has a mystery / Close Encounters vibe to it 😃

There’s been some great and wide-ranging artwork posted on twitter for #fanartforrose - some in the past 24 hours…

Hi, would anybody be able to point me in the right direction for Agent 9’s Man of Steel Remastered please? I’ve been trying everywhere to find a copy to download and can’t find one anywhere. It would mean a lot! Thank you so much in advance.

A search for what you are looking for on https://www.reddit.com/r/fanedits should be of interest mate.

Who came out with the claim that she was harassed? I can’t find her statement on it anywhere, only articles based on speculations. But if it’s true, I fully agree - I think TLJ is the worst Star Wars movie (yes, I think the prequels are better), but I would NEVER EVER go and attack (physically or verbally) anybody involved with the production, that’s just really, really dumb. What happened to the good old “vote with your wallet” thing? AKA “if you don’t like it, don’t buy it”? That’s the only reasonable approach in my not so humble opinion, going after somebody makes you look like a lunatic

A few questions after I could think about the movie for a few hours

• why are all white men in this movie crazy or evil or crazy AND evil?
• why are crazy women in charge of the military? Don’t they have somebody like Mon Mothma? If they want to have a female military leader, why not somebody who knows what she’s doing?
• where are all the attractive women?
• why are capitalists portrayed as the true criminals?
• why did they suggest that Rey’s parents were important in the last movie but made to be some random nobodies in this one?
• who are the First Order? What power do they have? How did they get the power? Who is financing them? I asked the same question 2 years ago, I still don’t understand who’s who
• who was Snoke? How did he get to power? Why did he have force powers? How did he know all about the Jedi, the Sith and the Skywalkers?
• why was that dumb Asian woman or girl (can’t really tell her age, I thought it’s a little boy until she started speaking) in the movie? Why was she so stupid? Was she supposed to be a comic relief character? Why did she prohibit Finn from having a heroic death? Were they supposed to have a romantic relationship? Why didn’t they show it?
• why did Finn and that dumb Asian woman go on a 30 minutes long side mission which lead nowhere and was a complete waste of time?
• why did Finn fight that glossy armor woman? Was it the same glossy armor woman as in the previous movie? What was the point of this and basically 99% of Finn’s scenes?
• Why is Leia now Superman?
• Why didn’t Luke go personally to confront Darth Vader Junior?
• Why did Luke die? Especially in such a stupid and confusing way?
• Why was Yoda in this movie? Why is he acting as his stupid self from the beginning of Empire, where he PRETENDED he is stupid to test Luke? Why does he have the power to call lighting? Why did he prevent Luke from burning down the thing by burning down the thing himself?

Seriously, the whole movie was a giant WTF. Everything felt so forced and pointless. At least it looked beautiful.

the ‘dumb Asian woman’ whom you refer to has had enough of stuff like that I suppose?

^ thank you HerekittykittyX.

Please stop coming back - it’s now your 6th sock here?

It’s time to move on mate - learn from your mistakes on here - and find a new place to chat Star Wars.

Good luck with it.

Am I the only one who likes luke throwing the saber?, Oh well…

I liked it too - something unexpected and different right off the bat, a change in the direction expected from the emotional last scene of TFA - and all the time we had between the two films to ponder what may happen next…

Luke throwing the saber away was a fairly radical idea in itself 😉

It’s over Obi-wan, I have the Soccer ground!

😃

On Hayden’s profile pic for the Soccer Aid it also has his weakness down as ‘tendency to choke’ 😉
 

Fair play to him for doing it - not easy playing alongside some world-class talented legends of the game - and fellow celebrities, many who’ve also played to a decent level. He gave up a week to do it (training and bonding together etc) and did a good job for his team, and was decent himself.

A tenuous Solo link…

Wood Harrelson scored the winning penalty in a previous Soccer Aid game - I don’t think he was quite sure what he was doing - or meant to be doing - but looks like he had a lot of fun doing it:-

Stephen Colbert’s star wars bit on the late show was not funny.

This one?:-

I found it somewhat funny - though the point it making was more important than the humour (for me, anyway).

Well in Hayden Christensen - part of the Rest Of The World soccer team who played an England XI tonight as part of Soccer Aid - and helped to raise around £5.5m / $7.4m (as of full-time) for UNICEF.
