I get why Lucas didn’t want to kill off Han. It makes sense 30 years on, but killing one of the big three would have been a huge downer. Star Wars is essentially a fairy tale and good always triumphs over evil in those.

Well, this plan also included a very different sequel trilogy, with VII coming out not terribly long after ROTJ. It wouldn’t have been the ending.

hey man anime can be fucking cool dont hate

edit: Most of it is garbage to be fair. Or I’m just trash enough to enjoy some of it.

Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Evangelion if you’re in the mood to be depressed for about a month afterward…

Yeah, that’s about all I can come up with when it comes to anime I’ve enjoyed. (TV I mean, I’m not counting films.)

It wasn’t supposed to be a Netflix movie. There was a fight with the two producers, one of which wanted to edit the movie to be more accessible, the other wanted to keep it as is. The compromise was keep it as is, but sell international distribution rights to Netflix to guarantee a return on investment.

So it’s theatrical in the US, but Netflix a week later everywhere else.

25 fatal school shootings since Columbine. How did each shooting come to an end? A thread. (1/x) https://www.aol.com/article/news/2018/02/15/fox-news-anchor-shepard-smith-lists-all-25-fatal-school-shootings-since-columbine/23362465/#slide=ad%23fullscreen

Some of the common themes:
-many shootings happened quickly and ended in suicide
-unarmed school staff de-escalated or subdued shooter in many cases
-in many of these cases school police were on campus. None stopped the shooting

I hate that I’m surprised at the number of school shootings since Columbine.

25 seems low.

Aw man, Conquest is totally a 3/4! I agree with you on the others though.

Except Nacho Libre.

Star Wars Episode II: The Approaching Storm (Released)

Dude. No need to spam all three threads. Send a private message to HAL, he’ll help you out. But like I said in the other thread, he’s working on version 5 right now, which should be out before too long, so you should probably wait for that instead of getting version 4.2 or earlier.

And I’m sure there will be an announcement in all three threads when version 5 of each is finished.

Having said that, the previous versions have all been stellar (they’re my preferred PT edits by a wide margin), so it’s not like getting v4.2 will be a poor quality product or anything, but I’m sure version 5 will be the best possible iteration and well worth the brief wait.
