Politics 2: Electric Boogaloo
Time

Ok so I’ve gotten to the very well thought out conclusion that Trump is not a decent man at all. I used to think, back when I was living in Brazil, that much of the criticism directed at him was sensationalized or exaggerated by the media, but apparently I was wrong. The man is basically a jerk. His tweets, for example, don’t even belong in the worst of our threads. Honestly, to think that some Star Wars fans, as insane as we are, discussing passionately about Star Wars can be more civilized than the president of the world’s greatest country is… I don’t even know. Disappointing? I guess. Can’t seem to find a more appropriate word for it. Repulsive?

I’d say politically I’m more leaned towards the left, so I’ve always been “biased” against Trump. I’ve always criticized most of his policies and ideas, but I just thought he was more attacked than usual or more than he deserved. It is sad to see I was wrong.

But trailers are designed to maximise the hype, and presumably this was the best they could do in terms of crowd pleasing sound bites even after all the delays.

Well I haven’t seen it but I’m electing to defend it regardless!

FTFY

You will never see me say that a trailer proves a performance will be bad or “wrong.” I just on principle don’t think it’s a fair indication.

As it should be, frankly.

No one is going to do a bang up impersonation of another actor and still be effective in the role because more times than not it comes off half baked.

I am quite happy to let this movie entertain me…or not but it won’t be due to the title actor not being able to sound like Harrison Ford but whether the movie as a whole is something I like.

Btw does that guy really look like Lando either? Doesn’t to me but that’s OK.

Glover is definitely more Lando than Ehrenreich is Solo.

How do you know that? Glover has like, a few seconds of standing still in the teaser?

Let me rephrase that.

Glover definitely looks more like Lando than Ehrenreich looks like Solo to me.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

In that case: An unmanned kamikaze ship still needs the mass and size of a capital ship, it needs sublight engines and a hyperdrive and it needs an advanced piloting system. It has to stay with the main fleet in case it’s needed, so it costs additional money to operate. Why not buy a regular ship for the same price, which is much more versatile and not limited to one single use? And don’t tell me “it’s just a joke”.

I’m pretty sure a small TIE Fighter could do some damage to the Rebel cruiser.

In Rogue One, we see that the smaller rebel ships didn’t do much damage to the Stardestroyer, when they crashed in hyperspace, so no.

I was talking about the bridge.

I’m pretty sure a small TIE Fighter could do some damage to the Rebel cruiser. And the PT droids, stupid as they were, could fly ships and some of them were actually ships. BB-8 seems to be able to operate a ship. And if the First Order has enough resources to build a planet sized Death Star, I believe they do have the money and infrastructure to maintain a couple of kamikaze droids and ships.

All in all the weaponized hyperspace aspect of the movie didn’t bother me as much because I don’t think an X-Wing would do much against a Star Destroyer for example, but I can see why some people would.

Basically a guy took all the high quality footage from the movie that is officially available and put it in chronological order, as it appears in the movie. Pretty cool. The audio is pretty good too, with the music cues transitions not being too jarring.

I had no idea we had this much footage available.
