Non-scientific poll:

If you were the CEO of Twitter, would you ban Donald Trump off the service?

Are you asking us?

Really wish I could get some sleep.

10 - The movie tries to harken back to the original trilogy by including tons of fan service, with recognizable characters and places that are almost identical to those places in the OT, so much to the point it’s more up in your face than being endearing.

You make it sound like it’s a bad thing; but if a movie set directly before ANH wasn’t like that, it wouldn’t work.

I just saw someone try to justify the prequel characters being flawed because they’re “supposed to be that way.” FML

Some very good ideas here.

He is also frustrated by the incompetence and idiocy of the army-men under his command. One time, after they lose a battle they should have won, he starts to force-choke a lieutenant in anger. Obi-wan is alarmed by this and makes Anakin stop. Anakin apologizes, but he’s still angry.

The only thing I might want to clarify, or—if this isn’t what you meant originally—change slightly; is that Anakin doesn’t force-choke any Clones. He only force-chokes an incompetent Republic lieutenant (not a clone lieutenant), and partly because their poor tactics led to an overwhelming loss of Clones. I like the angle that Anakin, and by extension, Vader; is loyal to and respects his soldiers.

I really hope this smug prick gets voted out of office come the next election.

Since 2012, Rendon has taken in more than $82,000 from business groups and healthcare corporations that are listed in state documents opposed the measure, according to an International Business Times review of data amassed by the National Institute on Money In State Politics. In all, he has received more than $101,000 from pharmaceutical companies and another $50,000 from major health insurers.

In the same time, the California Democratic Party has received more than $1.2 million from the specific groups opposing the bill, and more than $2.2 million from pharmaceutical and health insurance industry donors. That includes a $100,000 infusion of cash from Blue Shield of California in the waning days of the 2016 election — just before state records show the insurer began lobbying against the single-payer bill.

Hahaha! Color me shocked!

Wow, a lot of those new effects look decent, but that Mustafar battle looks excellent. Luckily the uploader seems to be still active on Youtube, so anyone who’s interested could try to contact him and ask how he did it.

As sad as the story is, could a headline be any more perfect (perfect isn’t the right word, but the right word isn’t coming to mind)? It’s an amalgamation of everything wrong with the militarized police. It almost reads like a parody.

Do you honestly think Kathleen Kennedy knows less about making movies than the guys who made 21 Jumpstreet and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs?

22 Jump Street and The Lego Movie, too; all of which were very successful, so I guess I fail to see your point.

probably quit over the film becoming more focused on Lando.

Honestly, I wish that was the case.

3 weeks.

This movie is going to be awful.

As much as I love dogs, I don’t know many breeds. I suppose the obvious choice for Vader would be something big, dark, and intimidating like a Rottweiler, Mastiff or Pitbull. Newfoundland is another possibility, just for their immense size.

I could see Leia as a French bulldog, for obvious reasons;

We need more subtle trolls in the world.

I guess we ignored him so hard that he ceased to exist 😛

Too late.

lol, I noticed. In my defense, my post was made 2 minutes before yours 😛

Every reply just gives the troll more incentive to stick around. Starve them.

Please do not respond to this thread.

Your verdict.

I’m gonna call it a sandwich parody.

I’ll agree to that.

Is a sub a sandwich?

I’m gonna give a very tentative yes.
