The weird, out of sync edit of Bullet With Butterfly Wings at the end of the Battlefield One ad drives me crazy. Could they not put those two pieces of the song together without a horrible clash and going off beat? It’s not hard.
I do like it better than the last ad with the horrible remix of Seven Nation Army though.

Here’s a random thought that, like every other post in this thread, isn’t random at all.

Remember everyone, it’s not on others to make sure you’re catered too and feel included. If you feel like the people you’re hanging around with don’t really want you there, you should leave. If they don’t invite you back, you were right. If they do, you’re just an insecure idiot. And that’s ok.

This PSA has been brought to you by the people who are sick of your whinny facebook, tumblr & forum posts.

(This post isn’t directed at anybody here. But if you fit the bill, c’est la vie.)

What is this reffering to? I’ve not watched all the trailers and TV spots. Just the ones that happen to be on while I’m watchin’ TV.

however quite afraid of the lame “marvel” humor of the tv spots so far.

To be fair, you could make an ad for Star Wars only using footage from 1977 and make it seem like a silly kids adventure, a lighthearted Marvel superhero movie, a dramatic space drama or even a sci-fi comedy. When these comedic bits are stretched out over a 2 hr. run time instead of jammed together in a 60 second ad they’ll (hopefully!) seem more natural.

I’m surprised that one of the various SEs hasn’t changed it so Luke wears his poncho more often on Tatooine.

Seems next to impossible, but I’d love it if someone could do that!

And while we’re at it, why not get rid of that awful jacket he wears during the medal ceremony?

No. Also, get out.

I really wish someone would/could put Luke in his flight suit during the briefing. With him still in his ordinary clothes, it makes it seem like he just got there and is totally unprepared.

When Jedis die they can reappear as visions to the people they knew. Why is that a concept that needs further analysis?

Because when Jedi’s die they don’t usually show up as ghosts otherwise there would be nothing special about it. It was Qui-gon first. Then Obi-wan and then Yoda. and then Anakin.

No other Jedi was able to achieve becoming a force ghost. But it had to do with the special teachings of Qui-gon which he had learned and passed on his knowledge. Otherwise there would be millions of Force ghost Jedi floating about.

It has nothing to do with being a Jedi.

Meh. That’s all PT garbage and doesn’t effect the films I watch. And appearing to certain people doesn’t equal “millions of Force ghost Jedi floating about”. If everybody could see 'em, Leia would have said “Hey, Luke! Come join us for a group pic- WHAT THE HELL?? G-G-G-GHOSTS!” But, she couldn’t see 'em. Only Luke.

Is anybody else a fan of TOS only? Or do you even know anybody else who is?
I don’t like TNG, DS9 or… that other show I saw 2 episodes of… I think the Quantum Leap guy was in it?
The only Trek film I’ve liked is TWOK. I haven’t seen all of the films though.
Anyways, I’ve never met anybody who only likes the original Trek. Am I all alone?

I will be disappointed if Qui-Gon makes an appearance in this movie.

I don’t believe for a second that any potential appearance he’d make would ruin the film. But once, just for once, I want to watch a post-OT SW film and say to myself “It’s canon”. I want to see Rogue One and consider it “real” – as real to me as SW & TESB are real to me. Tossing Qui-Gon/Padme/any similar PT character in the mix will make that impossible.

Yes.

It depends how brief it would be. … It would broaden the Universe and make that association of the larger narrative.

Nah.

The main point being where “Force Ghosts” originated from really. This strange mystical power that Qui-gon who was more or less operating as a bit of a maverick Jedi was perhaps one of the most progressive forward thinking Jedi.

I’m not even slightly interested in “Where Force Ghosts Come From”. The OT told me all I need (or even want) to know about that. When Jedis die they can reappear as visions to the people they knew. Why is that a concept that needs further analysis?
