Seeing as how I didn’t post this in the proper place I am rehashing my comment ITT:
I hope the person who made censorship a real thing in this Country died a slow, horrifying death and I hope the pain this person felt at the moment he/she passed away extends into death and is everlasting. I hate you.
Oh my ass
Anyone who uses “U” in place of “you” can be automatically ignored.
Well it’s a lucky thing you’re older because even the more inherently ‘tolerable’ people in my age group do that too. It’s going to be hard out here trying to find someone.
How? I don’t like censorship and I’m bitching about the person who made it a thing…whoever that terrible person may have been.

Did they film the interaction between Rey and Poe that was in the novelization? I think it’s a bit strange that they didn’t speak to each other.
You mean the droid-swapping scene?
There’s no way they’d ever include that in a family movie.
I’m frankly shocked it was in the novelization!
I don’t even want to know what that could be.

They didn’t jump to hyperspace
They don’t? Well alright, I retract the last paragraph. Just another plot hole, then.
I suppose so as they could and should have gone anywhere. It doesn’t really matter that they weren’t in immediate danger. Personally I wouldn’t leave my life up to happenstance like that.

That the Falcon zooms away at sublight means it would be easy to track.Do you have anything to substantiate this or just your own musings?
ANH and TESB. If the hyperdrive is working the Falcon can escape. If it isn’t or isn’t used, the Falcon is easy to track and catch. The Empire did it several times. And the First Order can’t do it once? They loose them because they fly away from the planet? Bad writing. And the Falcon just happens to then break down, and Han and Chewy stumble on it (and ask where they got it when if they were that close to Jakku it would be kind of obvious). There is just no tension there after you see the Star Destroyer just sitting in orbit. If the hyperdrive had worked for a few seconds and then quit, the rest of the story would make sense. Without something else, it just stretches things too far. Unless Inspector Clouseau was in charge of finding BB-8. It is that level of bumbling.
The only times that happens is when the Falcon was being chased in ESB and that could have been due to them being seen and not tracked. Also, In SW the Empire put a homing beacon on the Falcon and earlier in the film they were seen leaving the planet whereas in TFA no one exactly saw the Falcon leave Jakku. They were pretty far away from Nima Outpost and the only TIE Fighters that were chasing them died.
Also posting this because it still baffles me how some can see Rey and Finn escaping as being a problem when there were more ships in orbit during the Battle of Hoth that caused Luke no trouble and that’s fine. I really need someone to explain this to me.
Well, I could be wrong here, but the Rebels had multiple ships and were armed, while Finn and Rey were stuck in an old junker that they didn’t even know could run or not.
Also, in general, Star Wars seems to forget that space is in 3D, so like, the Imperial fleet is only facing one side of the planet in that pic…why don’t they just take off from the other side and jump from there?
I didn’t mention anything about the Rebels; I was talking about Luke leaving the planet with contemptuous ease even though there were multiple ships in orbit. At least in TFA’s case it was only one Star Destroyer.

The Empire didn’t have an Interdictor cruiser.
Admittedly I’m lost right now…
Also, shame on you for criticizing The Empire Strikes Back 😉
It’s my favorite film but it’s no where near perfect.

There’s nothing wrong with questioning someone’s logic if they’re making nonsensical statements but not on the basis for just liking something. Now bewilderment at someone liking something is completely different. If someone can’t stomach that then I don’t know what to say man.
I’m fine with that. Just trying to prevent being ganged on by Frink and others. I’ve seen it happen before on this forum, and it usually results in someone getting banned. I want none of that.
That’s why I’ve been trying to distance myself from personal attacks when things get heated. Clinging to the topic at hand for dear life makes things so much simpler.

He failed at every task he was given in the filmSo did Vader in STAR WARS…
No. Vader’s plan to find the hidden Rebel base worked.
Actually you’re right but he failed in his interrogation of Leia and failed to stop the Death Star from being blown up. Also you’re wrong about Kylo failing all of his tasks as he killed his father which is a test that I do not think Vader would pass had he been ordered to kill Luke.
Vader ‘killed’ Ben after a fair duel between the two. Ren murdered his unarmed father after tricking him into standing really close to him and stabbing him in the heart.
Ben…let himself be killed though…Why exactly are you using this in an argument?
Also Kylo killing his father in that manner is beyond sadistic. We never seen Vader do anything that cruel and he’s a fully formed villain.
So how does that make you want to root for Kylo Ren? Two old warriors, an apprentice and a master battled and one in the end ‘died’. Vader being on the opposite side of the coin as Obi-Wan makes him evil but cool. Do a lot of people find unarmed patricide in cold blood ‘cool’?
It’s not really about him as there are tons of people who want to see Rey struggle more in TLJ.
Also I think someone doing anything in his power to achieve his aspirations is ‘cool’. I’m interested in seeing just how far this young man will go.
Season 3 of Daredevil to film later this year
About fucking time they gave us an answer on this. I’m not going to lie though I’m way more excited for The Punisher.
I’d love a series about the fall of Ben Solo, it’d definitely be more dramatic than a book about it.
No, only story execution can dictate that.
It’s entirely possible that using video posters uses less resources than it takes to manufacture and ship a poster from scratch.
Yeah, trees would definitely relish such a development.
I find video posters incredibly wasteful. The local theater chain’s latest location has nothing but video posters. Such a huge waste of electricity.
Even though it’s idle it still serves more of a purpose than many things we waste electricity on. At least when it comes to stationary things and shit we’re not using ATM.
No CGI though…please.
You think there’s a chance for a traditionally animated SW show in this day and age?
Nah, the best we can realistically hope for is for better CGI and animation. It’s going to conflict with the darker tone of this series but I doubt that matters to Disney as we’re already used to the style.
“If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” or something like that
No CGI though…please.
I find the idea of video posters really weird but to each their own.
Video posters can’t rip and in theory would be easier to move around.
It might also feel funny to put your hand through but that benefit is merely hypothetical in nature.
Lol, I was referring to the aforementioned posters for video releases.
Oh
I feel you though because tags for videos aren’t like they are for music…if they even exist at all. It’s not even worth being on the periphery of my vision. Then again I can say the same thing about the posters themselves.
Got a video poster today and…
A what?
A poster for the video release.
Ohhhh
My thought were a hologram like poster I got real excited for a second.
See how it lists the video releases at the bottom? 😉
Hope lives…
