I’m starting the “quit smoking” process today. Anyone here gone through it want to share your thoughts on your challenge? I would think that knowing what others went through could be very helpful to me on all fronts.

Thanks.

I gave up cold turkey and put on so much weight I became practically spherical.
I would recommend some kind of nicotine replacement therapy.
Let your metabolism adjust to lower levels rather than just drop it in one go.
Dropping smoking in one go is best though.
Your body will quickly feel better for the extra oxygen.

According to the prequels and the Clone Wars you can resign or retire from being a Jedi.

It would be good to get at least one of as many Rebel flight suits as possible to add new featured pilots to the briefing. I rather liked the grey variant seen in Rogue One. It would nice to see that in ROTJ

From a fan edit perspective it would mean making all Jedi saber blades blue in the PT and making Luke’s the first green one in ROTJ. If you wanted to add an obvious explanation you have to add it to the beginning of ROTJ The film could begin with Luke in his X wing with the familiar orange gas giant of Yavin in frame too. It could in the crawl explain that Luke completed his training with Yoda and that the Jedi master tasked him with one last test before his off screen death. As Luke meditates he hears Ben tell Luke he must face Vader again. Telepathically. When he comes to that point a tiny green crystal is retrieved. This would lead into Vader arriving at the new Death Star. An undoing of the victory of the first film. What the crystal does would be hinted at by the colour of Luke’s blade when he first ignites it and add some degree of sense to Vader’s marvelling at his son’s new weapon. As he had used the force to find the needle in the haystack of salvaged debris.

I don’t get why Luke is made out to be really young when he is exactly the same age as that Princess from Alderaan that secured those Hammerhead ships two seasons back.
I rather liked the episode.
Ezra looks like Snoke his hair like that.
The final two episodes were fantastic stuff. Much better than the prequels or ROTJ 😛

Just use it to replace the worst shots of the existing Wampas and cantinarise it where necessary.

I’m still waiting for a Lovecraftian horror story set in the galaxy far, far away.

A galaxy with Giant Sandvaginas with Teeth and mindsucking squidoids would make this a very doable thing.

Don’t we have a couple of threads on this topic already?

The Jedi Must Die
The story is, in essence, a conflation of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None (aka, Ten Little Indians) and Richard Connell’s The Most Dangerous Game, with elements of the Star Wars mythos stirred in for good measure.

It revolves around the search for a Jedi on a far off planet by a group of serious minded people out to find it. The viewer is invited to unfold the mystery along with the characters. Near the ending, there an inserted 30-second break called “The Jedi Break”, where the audience is asked to guess the Jedi’s identity, based on clues from the movie.

I have a shrink ray.

“2187” I see what you did there.

I don’t get it.

That’s a SHOCKER!

To be fair I didn’t get it until I looked it up.

Not sure if serious.

Okay, assuming you are serious (I mean, you sound serious, but you’re Frink, so…), this is the community that argues about the correct color of sand snow on Chewie’s foot. How is a reference to 2187 unknown to anyone in the Star Wars community by this point?

This community is not monolithic.

Ahem…

One little change I thought of this morning.
If the capture of Leia’s ship was timed right the sound that Threepio comments on could be the claw in the SD hanger bay clamping onto the hull of the Tantive.
At the moment we hear the sound but the ship is still caught in the tractor beam.
Linking the noise to the ship being physically choked by the bigger ship would be a nice little bit of Vader reference too.

Maybe Luke’s ROTJ sabre has a green blade because he salvaged a crystal from Yavin space… just suggestin’

Maybe the Empire had processed these crystals to make the Death Star Weapon work so reducing the need for green blades in the prequels

What kind of confrontation could Luke have that would not result in him fighting Vader? Was he just supposed to incapacitate him? Was he supposed to talk to him and then carry on with the rebels?

Luke tells Obi Wan "I can’t kill my own father."
Obi Wan says "Then the Emperor has already won."
The killing part was Luke’s idea. Obi Wan is responding to his hesitancy to confront Vader, not whether or not he should kill him. He has to be willing to kill him if need arises, because that’s what a confrontation means (especially with lightsabers.)

YODA : Away put your weapon.
BEN : It’s your father’s Lightsaber.
YODA : Your weapons, you will not need them
BEN : (the quote you use).

Yoda isn’t interested in Luke confronting Vader as a military target.
He wan’ts Luke to confront his fear and conquer it. His fear is he will become Vader and he almost does by following Ben’s line of thinking. Instead (going by the sequels) he becomes Ben which is a bit of a shame.

They handed it in there at the end of Episode High Five.

Adding some Grey Mon Calamari to the mix would tie in with Rogue One nicely.

Wait, 1980 Flash Gordon was a family film? 😉

I saw it with mine.
I think it’s kinkier than Barbarella (1968)

Gran Turismo 6 took forever to patch and upgrade.
It doesn’t look much better than Gran Turismo 4 either.

Doctor Strange (2016).

I really don’t get the appeal of Bennyhill Cumbernauld, he sounds like Hugh Laurie trying to do an American accent (just get an American actor it will sound better).
Tilda is the best thing in the movie but I still think they could have cast her as a face of a shape shifting Ancient One and sidestepped the whole brew haha about whitewashing asian characters and still sold the film in China.
The Inceptionesque effects are a mess. In a world where Inception didn’t happen they might have been a draw but even then they are over used.
The whole thing felt a bit like that Green Lantern movie (2011) that everyone hated but I didn’t mind.
It’s a shame because I’ve loved the comics since I was very small. They are so arch and colourful, something the film gets right, with a little help from Mads Mikkelsen in the kinkiest bondage thing seen in a family movie since Flash Gordon (1980)
In some ways I wish he was introduced in a more low key way.
Maybe guesting with Ghost Rider in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I do hope they eventually find a way of getting the DC television universe to cross over into the MCU.
It would be up there with Roger Rabbit in WTFness.
Balls Supreme.

See you last week 😄

Yoda tells Luke he will confront Vader again but he doesn’t request that he kill him.
Ben basically says it’s essential that Luke kills his sole remaining parent.
So in that regard they are two very different kinds of Jedi.
One believes in the powerful influence of inner control and the other believes in martial action, exterior action.
In the end Luke does confront his father but he turns away from the darkness allowing Anakin the chance to Return and defeat Vader and Palpatine.
This doesn’t chime with Yoda of the prequels who on one hand tells Anakin to let go of his Mother and his Wife but on the other hand walks into the Emperor’s office after slaying many brainwashed clones and attempts to assassinate a Sith Lord with a weapon.
It would be better if Yoda didn’t appear in the prequels at all, he is hidden away holding the knowledge that will save the Galaxy he doesn’t need to make an appearence.

Damn Bingo I’m so happy for you. I can still send you some software for nothin if need be my friend.

What make is ur screen btw? And are you running this through an AV reciver?

HDMI cables have a variation of what they can proses by a revision no. like 1.4 can now does 4K, any previous HDMI leads do some sort voodoo ship between any hardware.

It’s quite an old Grundig telly but the same problem afflicts people with modern screens and digital projectors. PS3 seems to be particularly susceptible.

Imagine my deep joy to get a fourth Ps3 and finding it doing the same old nonsense. Looking it up it seem as if it’s our good old friend the HDMI handshake at fault. The one I just got has composite cables so I plugged it in and all games work. I’ve got upon a solution which works for most games. As the game loads up I switch to another channel. The television detects the HDMI device and flips to it’s channel allowing the game to play. The one exception so far being Little Big Planet. On HDMI it just reboots the system. So changing channels isn’t an option. Shame as I love the game. This was probably the case for the other consoles. Why my neighbours console isn’t effected is another thing. HDMI sucks monkey balls.
