I have this problem at work, with people seeing suicide and suicidal thoughts as selfishness so I do sympathise. Mental illness is like any other illness or injury so blaming someone for being close to death for being mentally ill is as helpful and as compassionate as blaming a person with cancer for having a near scrape with death.
It’s not clever or grown up and you can get your relatives to talk to me about if it helps.
It is amusing to outsiders how Americans abuse the term rest in the context of bodily functions. Sorry to hear you relatives lost their jobs in that way. Currently that wouldn’t be legal in this country but post Brexit who knows what workers rights we will lose.

The one in my aunties front room ran off electricity so that had a lead.

Why not call it Episode IV: A NEW HOPE Part One?

Rebellione : Their First Assignment

Being 3 or 4 and seeing the Holocaust episodes of the World at War and realising it happened and that the Victims and the Perpetrators were the same species as my parents.

I would remove all instances of Yavin V being named so should you watch ANH next you might think Leia cracked and gave the name of the base away when she gives Tarkin Dantooine as a vain attempt to spare Alderaan.

(including Vader in his prime)

I have to insist, but the weird guy killing random rebels with a red lightsaber at the end is not Vader: it’s Jason Voorhees wearing a Vader halloween costume (Rogue One is the best Friday the 13th since Jason X !). So yep, you can end up with something far superior by removing the shitty parts: that’s the spirit of fanediting. If you love the film as it is, don’t change it. The slim thing is not even that terrible compared to the lack of good characters…

Vader is Jason anyway. He is an almost impossible to stop semi-supernatural, angry, scarred monster who kills people.

Mola Ram has kidnapped the children from a small village on Jeddha to dig for the kyber crystals. Han Duet (the other Han’s older brother) teams up with a dancing girl to try and rescue them which he does but they all get killed anyway when the Death Star fires on the planet.
French Biggs stabs his panicking rebel spy colleague on the Streets of Knowhere.

Seeing how hands on Vader is in Rogue One the death of Captain Antilles looks a bit hokey. I don’t know if it could be done but if instead of just crushing his neck and throwing him against a wall it might be better if he let go of him and crushed his throat in mid air using the Force. This would make Motti seem a bit ignorant to ruffle the Sith seeing what we would then know was possible. Hopefully the arm of the Vader suit and someone dressed in the Captain’s clobber would be enough to pull off the trick.

I’d much rather see more of SW Vader than R1 Vader. Lifting a guy off the ground by his throat and breaking his neck one handed is much more intimidating, brutal and real than doing the same thing from a distance using magic.

No it isn’t I’ve done both and the magic is much more impressive. His little legs just dangling there and him all scared and everything… it was classic!

I’d be a little sad to see those scenes in a Prequels go only because I’m a big fan of the book Catalyst, which does a good job of tying them together with Rogue One. What about altering the plans in AOTC:R to look more like the ANH plans, something like this:

Yes that works.
The idea of Christopher Lee handing such a thing to Peter Cushing is too sweet to lose. As a Rogue Jedi he would probably know that the crystals in his saber would have other uses.

I’d replace all the music that was trying to evoke the main theme without being it with the main theme.
I would add a crawl.
I would remove all the captions for locations.
Was the bit on Knowhere even necessary?
If possible I would turn Tarkin into a hologram to pull him further out of the uncanny valley.
Drop most of the obvious fan service.
Drop some of the motivational speechy bits.
Try and make Leia look a little less artificial if possible.
If anything I would add even more smashed up Jedi related buildings so the Death Star really can clear out something substantial.

Well, I waited for my niece to come and see it with me but in the end I had to go on my own.
Generally I liked it.
Tarkin should have been a hologram and then he would have looked amazing in fact why did they expand that character and not Vader where JEJ is still around and the body can sort of be played by anyone in a mask (but not quite as we found out in ROTS and to a lesser extent here also)?
The new characters were good.
A few too many easter eggs for my taste.
Walrus man and Mr Squishyface get around a bit don’t they? Did we really need the rebel captain to call for escape pods as Vader is going all Jason Vorhees (that was brilliant… make a Vader, slasher movie the kids will go crazy)?
I know Frink is going to ‘call me out’ or whatever it’s fashionable for young people to say these days but some of this film looks really like our ROTJ mockups. Just like TFA.
There really is no excuse for not putting more John Williams themes in this. Some of the new music just sounds like knock off Star Wars music (like when a fan film is trying to avoid a cease and desist) that didn’t work as didn’t the captions telling me where the characters would later tell me I was going.
Like the TFA the strength of this film is largely with the new characters. Some of the dialogue is a bit too on the nose and sometimes really unnatural sounding and could do with a trim. I say it’s equal with TFA in negatives and positives and I look forward to seeing what the fan edit community do with it.
Hurray for Castle Vader and his funny butler guy at last. Don’t like sand but somehow really digging lava irregardless of the past history with the stuff. I really want to see more of that relationship. Does he make him dress up as Palpatine and bow to him for pervy reasons?

The screaming ab dabs.

And so it is.

There is also the possibility of splitting her work and sharing it across both of the next two movies so she has a presence in the whole trilogy. as we found with Rogue One films are often restructured after shoots and there is a tendency to film more than finally needed. I would just film more stuff with Mark and the new peeps and allow the Leia footage to bridge both films.

Damn, in hindsight I really wish she had a more prominent role in TFA. Rest in peace.

Here’s to hoping she has a stronger role in Episode VIII.

that is not funny.

It wasn’t meant to be funny Warb. She’s in the next movie and he hopes she has a stronger role.

I… I wish I were dead too…

Not something she would appreciate as a response to her passing. If you feel suicidal seek immediate help but don’t attach it to someone who would very much like to be alive and point out these things out to you. Seriously if you want to honour her memory remember her mental health advocacy and get your thoughts checked up.

Hm. I saw the trailers and dreaded watching the episode. I haven’t watched it, but my DVR is supposed to record all new episodes, so maybe I’ll watch tomorrow. Never watched last year’s special because it didn’t record, was it any good?

Last years was part wacky Christmas fluff and part really enjoyable character moments this year was wacky Christmas fluff (mostly ripped straight out of Superman the movie but at least it’s sort of explained in the story) made tolerable by Capaldi doing his usual best to make it work.

Last years is sort of essential viewing for the River Song story arc and the two flow directly into each other.

The effects in ROTJ go from astonishingly beautiful to bloody ugly. I’d imagine ESB:R was more an act if enhancement most of the time than compleat redux. The cut and pasting in the endor battle is atrocious. The set sail barge is amazing. The model at times looks more at home in the serials the films were drawing inspiration from.

It’s his feast and mass day. And after all the feast I have gained some mass too 😄

It’s not beyond hope. People survive cardiac arrest more and more frequently.
