When did the Falcon launch a torpedo?

i think he’s referring to the shot that destroyed the thing that destroyed the death star

i think what annoys me the most when debating gun control is when someone pulls the “gun free zone ‘argument’” and acts like they won the discussion.

i was going to argue about the budget only to realize the only source i had for my claim was wikipedia 😛

Disney is probably going to focus on Episode IX for now. Once Galaxy’s Edge opens in the theme parks they have the perfect opportunity to cross promote or announce new movies.

Funny how Solo has made more money than Ant-man & The Wasp and nobody is calling that a bomb. 😉

Solo didn’t make more money than the new Ant-man and it was 100 million-ish dollars more expensive.

the guy played videogames, and if anyone blames them instead of guns i’m actually going to lose it.

Wasn’t it a football video game? Maybe football should be blamed.

it was a football video game tournament, but the shooter almost certainly played grand theft auto or call of duty or other games that revolve around war or violence or anything like that, so i’m sure that soon enough the NRA or one of the conservatives that protects guns at all costs is going to condemn such games instead of the gun.

yep, i’ve been ready for a while now.

jacksonville… a fucking video game tournament…

is this ‘accurate’?

may he rest in peace.

i never got the racist claims towards the neimoidians in TPM. i think they speak with an accent to differentiate them, since they were the first aliens speaking english in the saga at that point. just because their accents are similar to that of asians, like dre said, there’s nothing particularly asian about them.

regarding jar jar: i really don’t understand the racist claims either. he’s just a silly gungan. how is that racist?

dude that’s awesome, congrats.

ohhh right, i’m thinking about the 2D animated series. there are a couple of scenes in that that really add to what i’m talking about. unfortunately nothing like that is in any of the movies, so my argument is, therefore, invalid. well, that sucks 😛

i wonder if i’ll be next page’d

The theory that Qui-Gon is the only Jedi Anakin ever saw as a “truly good man” is a nice theory, but ultimately just that - a theory. There’s evidence to support it, but at the end of the day nothing like that is ever clearly (or even subtly) communicated in the films.

If he was a figure that Anakin looked up to and Obi-Wan always failed to match him as a teacher then that would be a character thing.

well, he was. isn’t there a scene in AotC where Anakin talks about Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan feels bad for not being as good as he was?

i think i’ve said this before and i’ll say it again - i see Qui-Gon as the perfect jedi, and i’m pretty sure Anakin saw him as the perfect jedi too. and i think that that’s very important to the overall saga.

Qui-Gon was the jedi Anakin really looked up to and wanted to be like, while other jedi in the PT such as Obi-Wan and Windu represented a lot of what was wrong with the order (a factor that ultimately ended up pushing Anakin over to the dark side). i also think that, during RotS, Anakin lost the notion of what was right and wrong (obviously) and ended up painting jedi and sith with the same brush - meaning that in his head both groups were equally bad - and so he chose to join the faction that could save his wife and didn’t condemn passion. and i think that, in the end, Qui-Gon was the only jedi he ever saw as a truly good man.

with that in mind, i think that RotJ Luke is a very similar character to Qui-Gon in TPM in terms of how they act and their moral standards. i think Vader saw that too, and that seeing it made him see hope in the jedi once again, since the only living jedi was, then, as good a man as Qui-Gon, the man he looked up to his whole life. and i think that was one of the main factors that made him save Luke (besides Luke being his son, the most important factor imo), which ultimately means that from my understanding Qui-Gon is a very important character overall.

no

is Jerry the villain of Tom and Jerry?

i don’t get the “obi-wan should never refer to R2 by name”. honestly, it doesn’t change anything, because they’re still in the very same room and Anakin calls him by his name so… it just seems a bit pointless to me.

It’s an effort to reconcile Obi-Wan not “recognizing” R2 in ANH, when his actions in ANH can just as easily be interpreted as either Obi-Wan teasing R2 or just simply not caring about droids all that much.

i get that, i just don’t think it’s that effective in making it believable he wouldn’t remember R2 by Star Wars.

from what i understood, some people prefer TPM because it’s the least offensive one to the OT, and because it’s the one that looks the best.

what about the celsius timeline

Anyway, I’d be more excited for a Han Solo series or something set in the years right after ROTJ. This isn’t moving the needle for me, so far.

The upcoming live action series is set in the years right after ROTJ, I believe.

but due to its live action nature there’s only a 0,1% chance of one of the big three of the OT making an appearance.

I’m hoping this is all from the first episode, though. If not, this show is going to get very bland, very quickly - I want to see some variation in locations and visuals rather than everything being bright, pastel, and on a water planet…

i agree. one of Rebels’ main flaws was how much Lothal there was.

Almost definitely a budget thing. I did like Rebels more focused scope though. The bigger issue was that most of the other planets they visited were often quite boring. Again, though, budgets.

i mean it from a setting point of view. it was almost always the same, and it was quite boring to me.
