Just thinking, this is the fourth Star Wars prequel and the first that doesn’t manage to totally fuck up any aspect of the continuity.

I noticed one thing that messed a bit with the continuity for me; what happened to Vader? How did he go from throwing people up into ceilings and cutting them in half to the “old men hitting each other with sticks” that we saw in A New Hope. I was never one of those idiots that hated their fight because it was “boring” or there weren’t enough flips, but it does seem a little out-of-character now that we have precedent for Vader being a badass only days before.

On a separate note, I loved the Rebels reference that I caught (and am hopeful to find that other two that I’ve heard of on my next viewing). I really want the show to do some sort of crossover. There could easily be a way to work in an episode with Saw and his band on Jedha, or something with Cassian, Blue Leader, Raddus, or any of the other Rebels featured in the film. I’m also think it’d be really cool if the show lead right into Rogue One, and maybe even showed the Ghost’s perspective during the final battle (although I guess that might sort of depend on the fates of the crew up to that point).

The only one I noticed was the Ghost appearing among the rebel fleet. What were the others?

Aalenfae's PREQUEL TRILOGY (Heavily delayed - computer exploded)
Time

Sad to see all those dead Vimeo links. Is this edit still in the works? It was shaping up to be my definitive version of the prequels, and I’d hate to see it go forever unfinished. I totally understand, though. I can’t count the number of times I’ve either lost the motivation to finish editing a video or just didn’t have the time to do so.

I didn’t think Brendan was that old. 😉

lol

I’ve heard conflicting reports about which movie this one’s based on; I’ve heard that it’s a reboot of the 1932 Boris Karloff Mummy, but I’ve also heard that it’s a reboot of the 1999 Stephen Sommers Mummy.

If Wikipedia’s to be believed, the 1999 Mummy was already a remake of the 1932 Mummy. So this new one may be a reboot of both.

J. Cole - False Prophets

Holy shit dude

Not impressed with the instrumental, but Cole’s delivery and lyrics are great as always.

It doesn’t match the menace he brings in the form of his lyrics but in general it’s a dope beat. I wonder how Ye and Drake is going to this. Did you hear “Everybody Gotta Die” as well?

I have. I like it a lot more than False Prophets, not that I dislike False Prophets. I’m definitely gonna get his album when it comes out. My only problem with the song is his rhyming of the word “hipster” with “pitchfork”. I’m not a writer, but I’m sure there was another way he could convey that point and have it rhyme;

“Chosen by the white man, bought-and-paid-for rappers”

or really anything else.

Everyone,

I’m concerned with the tone and direction of the forum as a whole. All communities change over time as members come and go, but I don’t like the way people are speaking to one another, treating new members, and letting personal disagreements that start in Off Topic bleed into the rest of the forum.

I spoke privately with some members about the situation. I apologize for any resulting confusion if you weren’t in that group. Please stop fighting with each other. Don’t attack other members, insult them, or accuse them of things you can’t prove. If someone attacks you, please report it to a moderator (a PM including SilverWook, Anchorhead, Moth3r, and me will do). Do not respond in kind. Don’t act as a moderator if you see something you don’t like; report it if necessary.

The mods are discussing the overall forum situation and what to do about it. There will likely be some changes soon. Please be civil in the meantime.

– Jay

I will obey. I hope whatever the changes are, they take care of problems like Dinkins.

Dinkins is a good cat and is innocent of whatever crimes he’s being accused of.
