And that brings up a totally separate problem…why are the eye lenses for the Storm Trooper helmet designed to be so restricted? Luke said he couldn’t see a thing in it and this picture here:
shows as to why that is. It seems weird that The Empire would have such faulty equipment.
Let’s stop kidding ourselves. They made it simply because they wanted to make some new crap for the marketing purpose (despite being logically redundant).
Well, you could make that same argument for a lot of the OT Stormtrooper variants.
I mean if a regular Stormtrooper with a few add-ons could function in the desert, then why did we get a completely new type of trooper for forests?
It’s a lot easier to sell one of these rather than just changing the regular Stormtrooper a little bit like they did in the first movie before they knew it would sell ridiculously well.
It’s going to be interesting to see impscum try to use his OT fanboy powers to explain this away.

But seriously if he does have a job or goes to school this has to be affecting his performance in those areas.I’ve asked several times how he has the amount of time he dedicates to this website. He’s addicted.
I think he is in the point in his life in which he is between jobs or semesters so he has a lot of time on his hands and that’s why he posts on here so much.
I agree that Fallout 3 has a better atmosphere and the map is more densely populated with things to explore as far as I can tell thus far but the plot and side quests are what make these type of games to me. New Vegas is definitely outshining Fallout 3 in that department thus far
What’s sad is the studio was planning that even as H20 was being shot.
I have no words. Hopefully Carpenter can bring the series back to glory when he releases the new Halloween flick next year. Regardless of how good the film is III-Resurrection getting shitcanned is more than worth it even if we get a subpar film.
None of us are Jesus.
Speak for yourself…
The retcon of Michael’s death is enough to skip Resurrection.
No one has said or alluded to ESB being perfect…Ironic that you should say that.
Best response gif ever! What movie is that from?
It’s actually from Game of Thrones

There is an inadequate use of synthetic (and annoying) sounds. Not a big fan of how Williams composed (and orchestrated) this short sequence.
I concur. The synth sounds are a little bit too “80s theremin” to me. It sounds dated, and doesn’t really make an impact.
It’s a weird spot in a mostly excellent soundtrack.
Frink would not approve of this opinion…
Care to share with the group?
I think you’re going to get a snarky comment from the bigger Frink.
I have no idea what you’re talking about man…

I’m saying. The music cues in that scene are timeless and really invoke panic and claustraphobia. Even the “Force Theme” seems to have a different aura about it.

Luke’s training was arguably the best part of ESB.No.
For me it easily is. My favorite scene in Star Wars is the entire sequence (beginning to end) of Yoda explaining the force, Luke doubts it, Yoda lifts the X-Wing, “I don’t believe it!” “That is why you fail”.
Favorite scene from my favorite movie of all time. The music, the scenery, the dialogue, the acting, the execution. It’s a wondereous showcase of the force, far superior to any midiclohrian crap.
+1
I would +2 if it were possible.
Aside from the updates that Obsidian put out after the launch of New Vegas there are unofficial patches that fix a myriad of bugs in the game…for those of us fortunate who play on PC that is 😉
Looks beautiful man! I thought I got the ENB to work until I got to a wide open section of the desert and discovered how wrong I was. Luckily my game doesn’t look that bad without the ENB.
As it pertains to the game itself holy mother of Jesus is it deeper than Fallout 3. I’m perplexed as to what road I should travel. I decided to take over New Vegas and bring the House down but now I don’t know exactly to deal with the Caesars. I’m not sure if I should still tag along with Caesar and destroy him at the dam or just do away with him now. Anyway deciding who to side with, what to do with Benny (I decided to crucify him) and exacly how to do everything I have done in the short 5 HOURS I have played the game has surpassed anything in Fallout 3 in spades. I can’t really give a full assessment on if it’s better or not as I have just scratched the surface but I am enjoying the game a lot more than I did Fallout 3
This picture seems dead on.
The twist definitely paled in comparison.
Especially since the actual killer was barely in the film.
Exactly. The means any thoughts about “who dunnit” is not as interesting when the actual killer is revealed. Thinking about who could be the killer and having elements conflict with each other is what made the mystery fun. I didn’t even think it was possible for there to be two killers.
You ALL have a niece who is African-American? What a strange coincidence.
I don’t have any nieces yet but everyone on my Dad’s side of the family is Black say for a few white guys who married into the family.

I didn’t say it was definitively the best part but I can see how someone can think so. There is oodles of character development even before Yoda accepts his training. From Luke being frustrated at the X-Wing crashing to swamp to him being impatient to get to Yoda…all of that develops his character. And when the training starts we learn more about Luke, the Dark Side and the Light and life itself. It doesn’t matter that Luke’s training was mostly just working out and lifting stones because those scenes lead to character growth that cemented his transformation from a whiny farm boy to a serene, confident and mature Jedi Knight. Lastly, his fundamental struggles occur during this time as well which also adds to his character arc in the OT.
As for the placement of the training being mostly in the 1st act it won’t matter because there can be exciting moments in there as well. Rey sparring with Luke, Kylo sparring with is Knights and in Kylo’s case he should have a final test before he is anointed by Snoke as someone worthy of continuing the Dark Side’s imperative. Sprinkle in an action scene with the Resistance and the set up for their story line and you have a really good 1st act and then you have the rest of film be more focused on the story lines instead of the training.
The twist definitely paled in comparison.

The first 1/3 of the movie should be centered around Rey and Kylo’s trainingI hope not. This would be boring as hell and already seen, with a “Rocky 4” vibe that would be ridiculous. EpVIII should be centered around new stuff. LFL is aware of the main criticism against TFA, I highly doubt they are going for another rehash movie.
Well for one it would be boring depending on how the training plays out. Though slower in pace than what was going on with the rest of the trio trying to stay one step ahead of The Empire Luke’s training was arguably the best part of ESB. Secondly, someone being trained in the ways of The Dark Side is new. And lastly people being trained isn’t a rehash of anything because training in of itself is a common plot point not only films but stories in general.
edit: by the way is it a “spoiler thread” or a “write your own EpVIII thread” ? Because I don’t see much actual spoilers here…
We’re having discussions based on thing said in interviews which can be considered spoilers.
I would really like to see Rey and Poe together while Rey and Finn have a sibling sort of relationship. But I’m still down for a Poe/Finn bromance. I know people might freak out about this idea (“rehash blah blah UGH!”) but I’d like to see Rey/Luke most of the movie together with the rest of the team going their seperate ways (Poe+Finn Together) but instead of an early battle (ESB, Walker Assault), the finale of the second act could be a space battle.
I agree with this. The first 1/3 of the movie should be centered around Rey and Kylo’s training, giving us information about the status of the New Republic after the destruction of the Hosnian System and developing the Finn/Poe bromance. This is the time where they need to be developing our new characters as well as setting up whatever story the Resistance members will have.
EDIT:
Regarding Phasma she wasn’t a waste as she was barely in the trailers but the marketing made her out to be something more. The only villain that was ever hyped in the trailer and by JJ was Kylo Ren and all he said is that he wasn’t a mustache twirling villain…which he wasn’t. I don’t remember him saying anything like Phasma had much screen time or was badass.
I think Kathleen says Phasma is going to be badass in this one so I hate that they live up to that promise because both her and Kylo need to get their reprisals. I have a feeling Phasma may end up killing Poe.

Yeah. Perhaps Poe is curious as to how the First Order operates and that we can get some insight into what Finn was feeling during his time growing up and when he was actually a full fledged trooper. This could also give a couple of more reasons as to why he defected…it’s not necessary but wanted.
