Please stop posting in my thread, especially since you have nothing of value to contribute to it other than telling someone he doesn’t have to post in it.

Funny you mention this because the same kinda crap happened in a thread of mine and it got locked while I was away … and guess who was a part of that debacle? Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder.

Isn’t there a rule about unwanted contact after a request to stay away?

How about a batman thread then? 😕

Spuff, if you feel you have an interesting idea for a thread, just create one that is reasonable.

Key word.

I mean, what is there to do at a train station?

I get the impression some of the people in this thread are the same split personality forever battling itself, maybe even agreeing with itself too.

LOL!

P.S.: number 4’s title is hilarious 😄

Ah yes, “The Fart Awakens And Stinks up The Galaxy Far Far Away” is quite the comedic gem.

Reminds me of middle school when there was a partner costume contest and my friend and I went as Holmes and Watson, and there were several other great costume like Doc and Marty from BTTF, but the judge, a coach, gave the award to two kids, one in a yellow shirt, the other with a brown shirt, representing urine and feces. He said they were “original” and “hilarious.”

lol

Coaches…

With the division the PT have caused, my take is to accept the stories, but omit the details. Include the visual, but ignore the dialog. Basically the events happened, those places and species exist, but they shouldn’t refer back to them in any great detail. Coruscant, Naboo, Utapau, could be mentioned or revisitied. The Trade Federation could be a contender again in the ST. Some of those species and places were destroyed by the Empire so you probably want to omit those. Definitely don’t include any Gungans unless they are in the background of a crowd. One thing I was very disappointed in was that The Force Awakens featured so few of the OT or PT aliens. It was great to see new owes, but some of the old ones (other than Nien Nunb and Admiral Ackbar) would have been nice. It was nice to see a different group of Mon Calamari and Ponda Baba in Rogue One. Like in The Last Jedi, if Luke tells Rey what happened during the fall of Anakin and the Republic, it should follow the story of the PT. When you summarize the stories they are pretty good. My kids have the Little Golden Book editions and in those the PT are greatly improved by glossing over things. So at that level, they cease to have the objectionable content (except for Jar Jar - he should never be mentioned again).

+1 this also.

I said his post was pathetic. The rule says to attack the posts, not the user personally.

Could be argued that you already have.

My Star Wars is an orange/green color palette, the crispest 1080p subtitles you’ve ever seen, Yub Nub, ambivalence towards TCW. An unconditional love for Disney and everything they do, the realization that TFA is not only better than the Prequels, but better than the OT, and my discovery of breasts.

The pathetic thing is that this post is no better than the troll’s OP.

I’m truly saddened that you didn’t enjoy my post.

With all due respect to her memory, I think Carrie would appreciate her character getting the end that fit the story.

I guess she might’ve, sure.

I think Leia’s role was to bring back Kylo to the light, in a very conflicting and heartbreaking moment most certainly saved for EP IX.

Ehhh…

I can imagine this scene in my head, in which Luke is dead and Rey defeated - Snoke believing all Jedi now to be extinct, with Rey and Kylo - having tried to overthrow Snoke - both laying wounded on the floor infront of him. And then, in a “what the fuck are you doing here?” reaction from Snoke as Leia suddenly walks into the room from out of nowhere, Leia suddenly wreaks mental force havoc on Snoke, killing him in the most brutal force usage scene we have ever seen on screen, crushing and slamming him from wall to wall until every bone is broken in his twisted, pale body, only for Leia to give the biggest one-liner ever: “I’m not afraid of the Dark Side, Lord Snoke - I relish it in the favor of my son”, crushing Snoke’s head right off with the very swift movement of the Force from her hands, leaving his wretched body more pale and lifeless than ever on the dusty floor.

1. No.
2. That’s not even a one-liner. It really doesn’t even make sense.

I don’t give a shit what you think ❤️

Jeez

I would prefer the prequels be referenced occasionally, though not in a way that would dredge up any of their continuity issues with the original trilogy. For example, no references to Qui-Gon as Obi-Wan’s master, since in the OT it was Yoda who trained him. Featuring Bail Organa as played by Jimmy Smitts is perfectly fine, being a character referenced in the OT and nothing about his prequel portrayal strains this. I’d rather not reference Threepio being built by Anakin.
Y’know, reference and include the prequels to whatever degree is appropriate, but I’d avoid anything that wouldn’t read well if one hadn’t seen them.

Hal 9000 said:

If Hayden is going to feature in TLJ as the ghost of Anakin Skywalker, how would we feel if they portrayed him as an aged man, perhaps not quite as old looking as Shaw was, but much moreso than Hayden in 2005? Made him look not like the Jedi he was when he turned to the dark side, but the wizened figure he may have become if he had continued on as a Jedi.

I’m of the opinion that if George was dead-set on making Hayden the new Anakin ghost, they should’ve aged him to around 50, just without the burns. It might be a little too late to do that now, though, since there would be 3 conflicting versions of Anakin’s force ghost.

I quite like how the prequels were included in Rogue One. There were a few subtle callbacks like the Turbo Tank and Coruscant that didn’t really affect the story, but they were nice to see if you wanted a more cohesive/connected universe, and they were easily ignorable if you hate the prequels. Other callbacks to the era like Saw Gerrera, Bail Organa and so on all made sense within the context of the story.

Wow, Disney took down that other video QUICK.

They sure did, haha. Fortunately I filed a dispute and the link is back up (for now at least).

This is another edited scene featuring music by John Williams and updated SFX.
https://youtu.be/-nrblKWRcbw

I didn’t ever have a problem with Giacchino’s score, in fact I quite liked some of it, but I’ll admit the movie feels a lot more “Star Wars” with Williams’ score. Good work.

Jetrell Fo said:

Yeah, yeah, laugh it up you guys. I’m sure you’re seasoned “I dodged sniper fire in Bosnia” candidate would have really been an upgrade … to Woody Woodpecker maybe.

😉

Again, this is why I said you must’ve not been paying attention to my posts during the election. Last I’ll say on the matter, because it’s clear arguing with you any further is futile.

Hey guys, give trump a break. he is simply learning on the job. would a 5 year old do any better? by the time the next election comes around, i am sure he will have the hang of things.

I’m guessing you guys believe the President or Leader of any country should have comic book super powers and eternal life as well.

If all it takes is a smooth-talking lobbyist or Republican war-hawk to get Trump to completely change his mind about promises he’s made, then we’re in for a hell of a ride.

I don’t believe it’s a simple as this though for those who don’t like him I’m sure it would be nice if it was. It’s politics. This is not a new game. How many Presidents before him have done this but in a far worse capacity?

So it’s alright because other people have done worse?

These types of things are not Trump “exclusive” and they never will be. I’m sure he’s finding the political song and dance far more challenging than he expected it to be.

Oh, well in that case it’s alright. Poor Trump.

Could any of us do better in such a position?

Shouldn’t the president be held to a higher standard than that of the common person? Sure, people make mistakes, but the president can’t afford to make mistakes.

So are you saying that you could do a better job as President or are you just poo-pooing what I wrote because you don’t like Trump?

It’s clear you didn’t understand a word I said.

Actually, I did understand what you said, and most of it was poo-pooing Trump.

Any legitimate criticisms can be shoved away and labelled “poo-pooing” now?

Is the President held to a higher standard, that’s a dumb question, because he is.

Things like this;

Could any of us do better in such a position?

make it seem like you’re not holding him to that higher standard. It seems like you’re saying it’s alright that he messed up because Joe Blow off the streets wouldn’t do any better.

The problem with that higher standard, is that for him it is constantly being changed and challenged,

No, I really don’t think it is. My standards don’t allow for the president to make “mistakes” that threaten the lives of other people. Those standards are consistent no matter which president is in office.

Now, can you do better than him, or can’t you?

I didn’t answer initially because I think it’s a disingenuous line of questioning that’s irrelevant to the overall discussion. If I were to say that I couldn’t, what would that mean? I couldn’t do it so it’s not fair to expect that he can? Because if that’s what you’re saying, then you are holding him to the same standard as the common person.

Of course you cherry picked my entire post to meet your context of the discussion too.

Honestly, I don’t even know what the hell you’re talking about at this point.

The standards you impose on the President of the United States, at least this one, could never be reached by him because they seem to exceed that normal standard due to your dislike of him.

If you read any of my posts in the politics thread during the election, you’d know this isn’t true, but I won’t let that stop you from creating your own facts.

I wish someone could explain to me the appeal of Trump. Why the heck do people (still) like him? It’s like with Sarah Palin… there are people who like her, but WHY?!? I just can’t even.

1. People are tired of the coded language politicians use, Trump has the appearance of being a straight shooter, even though he’s actually not.

2. People are worried about jobs, Trump said he’ll bring back jobs. Just look at this;

3. People are tired of dicking around in other countries, Trump appeared to be more isolationist. Turns out this was utter bullshit, as the recent missile strike proves.

I don’t necessarily agree with your 1st point or the 2nd half of your 3rd point.

1 missile strike does not a globalist make.

Sure, but it sure as hell isn’t isolationist either.

Americans are tired of dicking around in other countries for sure but Trump is human, regardless of whether he is President or not, and he may have been pushed a bit to make a statement to the world.

I’m not sure I’m comfortable having a president that’s so easily convinced to go back on his word. Remember when he met with pharma lobbyists and then totally flipped his position on on drug prices?

You can’t hope to win if you don’t understand why you lost.

Which is why I believe Hillary had no hope. She still doesn’t understand why she lost, but continues to blame it entirely on Comey, Wikileaks, and Russia. Surely Comey, Wikileaks, and Russia had some part to play, but that doesn’t explain her losing so many swing states that Obama won handidly.

As Bernie Sanders has said, to blame Comey is short-sighted. What she (and Democrats) should be looking at is why she wasn’t up by 10 percentage points or more compared to Trump. If the Democrats are content to blame racism or sexism alone, they have no chance of winning.
