The Prequels have huge flaws that make the first two basically pointless.
Also I’m sorry but General Grievous is dumb. Should have been Maul with cyber-legs. Imagine the duel from Rebels after Obi-Wan chases Maul through Utapau. Would have been an epic scene that ranks up with Yoda lifting the X-Wing. But no, more flippy duels and overlong lightsaber fights.
It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know?

I did freak for a second when I saw George was trending on twitter. Damn you, twitter!
Where were you in '77?
As ungenerous as I’m feeling towards Disney right now, any YouTube channel which pisses & moans about the ST, Disney, Kennedy, Abrams, Johnson, SJWs, etc, etc, etc. — but heaps bountiful, glowing praise on the prequels — I’m not going to regard as worth listening to and henceforth ignore.
While watching TLJ, I found out that there was more foreshadowing than I saw at the theater.
For example, Kylo’s saber flies into the air and land on his feet spinning, which gave him the idea of killing Snoke that way.
A similar (meta-ish) instance of this is when R2 shows Luke the old hologram of Leia, then later, Luke shows his force projection to Leia.
Personally, as a member here, I’d encourage everyone to watch it and upvote that video.
A little patience goes a long way on this old-school Rebel base. If you are having issues finding what you are looking for, these will be of some help…

I must have seen The Empire Strikes Back several hundred times by now, and I only just noticed that the “your tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker” guy has a weird flesh-colored mustache. It’s not Ratzenberger, is it? For my entire life I thought “of course it’s not Ratzenberger, Ratzenberger has a mustache.” My whole world has been turned upside-down.
EDIT: Ugh, I markdowned (marked down?)

Yes, it’s him. Frink ought to sneak in the Cheers theme when he gets to that scene in TRSB. 😛
He also turns up in Superman 1 and 2…
American actors could make a steady living in British films and tv when American characters were needed.

The crazy thing is I’ve known it was him in his other two scenes for years, I just was so sure they tauntan-will-freeze guy didn’t have a mustache that my mind was incapable of making the connection. Between this and finally spotting the praying mantis in the cantina in Star Wars for the first time, this has been an eventful pre-TLJ blu-ray watch through.
“Here’s a little known fact: your tauntan will freeze before you reach the first marker.”
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
They even snuck a Cheers reference into his CCG card back in the 90’s.
With all the reboots/relaunches lately I half expect a Cheers one sometime.

His mustache isn’t flesh colored though.
Maybe it’s weird lighting in that scene? I’d have to see a pic.
That’s exactly it, it’s the lighting in the scene. I have no trouble recognizing him from the “The shield doors must be closed,” scene to the “Everybody to your stations, let’s go!” scene, it’s just that the mustache seems to disappear for that one bit with Han.
Anyway, anyone else see this?

I just bought the LP reissues of the OT soundtracks on that snappy gold vinyl from Barnes & Noble so I doubt I’ll go for these right away. Hopefully it’s a harbinger of more rereleases to come. I dare not hope for the OUT, but at least maybe they’ll finally retire those awful 2011 discs.
This seems like the tenth time since the Disney purchase that they’ve remastered the soundtracks.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
Anyone see a track listing for the OT?
“complete with new artwork”
yeah, nice. what was wrong with the original art?

That’s not what I would consider art.

If it’s the OSTs, don’t care. If not, very excited.

Yeah but I’d say the chances of it bay being the led zeppelin discography are pretty slim.
Those covers are hideous. What’s wrong with using the poster art?

My question to all the abominable DVD/BD art out there.
It bothered me when Rey instantly accepted that Finn had picked up a new girl (Rose).
New girl? FN and Rey were never “together.”
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
Seemed like it was building up to it, tho.

Neither of those things happened.
Hyperbole. What I mean is that she didn’t have much of a reaction when looking over at Finn with an injured Rose.
