So I just watched The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises back to back, and I think that if TLJ treated Luke the same way TDKR treats Batman, TLJ Luke would be much more acceptable to me.

For example, at the end of both TLJ and TDKR, the older hero passes on the torch to the pupil, but while in TDKR Batman wins the war and finally provides peace a second time, Luke… just passes on the torch and says “hey boyos, now that I’ve given you guys hope please clean it up!!”

No.

I actually really liked the idea. Too bad you didn’t. Care to explain?

By the way, I know it’s extremely different because Batman is the protagonist of TDKR while Luke isn’t the protagonist of TLJ, but I think that approach was still viable if they wanted to.

That’s great news possessed! Keep it up. Stay strong.

I really like all of them. The Dark Knight Rises less so than the others mostly because of some unbelievable plot choices or characters, but at the same time it has some of my favorite moments of the trilogy. I liked the movie’s Catwoman, but didn’t like its Thalia or it’s Joseph Gordon-Levitt, for example. “I always knew you were Batman because of your look and because masks and smile” yeah right, gtfo.

Edit: this is not as off-topic since I did rewatch the dark knight trilogy today.

Umbara arc barely has Anakin in it.

I am Tobar. I seek to crush my enemies. See them driven before me. And to hear the lamentations of their women.

I laughed out loud to this one.

A thing on timelines here: The two main storylines in TLJ start at different times. The escape storyline starts a week after the events of TFA; the Ach-To storyline happens immediately after the events of TFA.

The bomber: People complained about how the bomber thing was unrealistic because there’s no gravity in space. That pedantry is inaccurate. The bombs fell due to the gravitational force of the Star Destroyer underneath the bomber. This is the same reason that Star Destroyer falls into the Death Star in ROTJ.

I read in the visual dictionary that the bombs used magnetic tech as well.

Yes, and that is unnecessary. The artificial gravity within the bomber is enough to give the bombs an initial velocity once they are released to propel them towards the target, as Mrebo already pointed it out.

Also, this obviates the need to talk about the gravity of the ship, which cannot be that significant. I wonder if someone at LFL actually saw a plothole here and came up with magnets or if they were just a cool add-on.

Look, there are plenty of plotholes and mistakes in the OT too if you don’t add EU/Wookieepedia explanations. Contrivances or not, whether it matters to you that it doesn’t make sense on its face comes down to your own choice of whether to just sit back and enjoy it.

For example:

In ANH, when the Blockade Runner’s main reactor was hit and their engines shut down, why didn’t that massive explosion on the side of the ship also knock their trajectory off course or send them spinning out of control?

Why did Luke fall sideways into a tunnel when he let go of the platform at the end of ESB?

Why did shooting an AT-AT in the neck blow it up only after it fell forward?

Why did Han and Leia only have face masks on inside the giant space slug when they assumed it was an empty asteroid with no atmosphere? And why was there sufficient gravity to walk normally on when the asteroid was smaller than our Moon?

Why was the arm that Ben Kenobi cut off in the cantina furry and clawed when one man was humanoid and the other had flippers?

Why does Shuttle Tydirium that is supposedly transporting parts and crew (by the rebels) to Endor look identical to the shuttle carrying the Emperor himself?

One can argue the Emperor wouldn’t travel in a fancy shuttle that would be easily identified as his ship. Might as well paint a big target on the side otherwise.

et al.

Someone should tell Snoke that.

Yeah but Luke would have had a terrible growlvoice and no thanks.

I guess the other thread went a bit too far with the Frink case, but I don’t see threads of this nature as harmful to the community. IMO it’s actually good to have this thread, so that it’s clear for the other unbanned members what type of behavior will get you banned.

I’d say it’s different.

Teaching my daughter new things and discovering what she is learning from me or on her own also makes me happy.

I love reading this sort of thing.

He wasn’t justifying, he’s just showing that he didn’t invent it for those who were criticizing him for taking force powers out of his ass.

Wow, it actually looks pretty good.

Neither Leia nor Tarkin bothered me in RO though, so for those who were bothered it’s probably just as bad.

I actually really like it. I think that Aaron Eckhart looks like Ford in this picture.

Is this edit still available?

Be strong, Possessed. We’re all with you, sending as much positive energy we possibly can. Things will get better.

I believe you’re making the right decision, too. Fight on, and show the world you got this. I hope things get better.

Yep, I was talking about the credits.

Pet Sounds - 10/10

Didn’t Hal put his real name?

Great news indeed. Good luck Harmy!

Punctuation and capitalization is not exclusive to a desktop computer though.

Since I almost exclusively browse and post on my phone, I’m going to have to agree that this is not a valid excuse.

I use either my phone or my iPad.

Rewatched Doctor Zhivago - absolutely loved it. The visuals and the cinematography of the movie are honestly superb.

DrDre said:

This film is really a number of great scenes held together by a terrible plot filled with story contrivances.

Dre said it best, even if a little bit hyperbolically.

Let’s see, at least 5 years ago and I don’t remember my old password and it’s attached to an email that I no longer have or use. Very logical.
