The big carrot that is dangling is the possibility Finn will find out Poe killed his friend. It’s possible however unlikely that could bring him back to the First Order or set him on a completely new path.

It seems as though Rey will go through some type of emotional and/or physical trauma in Episode VIII based on this interview.
Hopefully it’s both as it would make for nice character building but I hope they do something new if they’re going to physically injure her. Preferably something like her getting stabbed as that hasn’t happened to the other main protagonists yet.
EDIT:
When I say main protagonists I mean Luke and Anakin.
Really good news. Last question of the interview about love makes it clear that Finn and Rey’s friendship holds steadfast throughout ep. 8.
It had better though I doubt they’ll meet until the 3rd act of the film. It’s probably going to be the Poe - Finn Bromance for the first 2/3 of it and I’m completely fine with that. The only problem I have is that I want Finn and Rey to get together in XI so the more screen time with them the better.
And it undermines Luke being buff in ESB which was a physical example of his progression.
To me the only dated about Star Wars is some of it’s acting.
He’s addicted to this website. Post anything anywhere on this site. 5-10 minutes later, he’ll have responded. This happens at any time of day or night.
It would be funny if his family staged an intervention about his addiction to the site. But seriously if he does have a job or goes to school this has to be affecting his performance in those areas.
I’m a complete post whore and he’s posted at 2x my frequency!
Looks like the mini Frink is looking to overtake the master Frink 😉
I just looked at his profile and good God almighty he has a lot of posts! I mean I have been here for 3 years and somehow has passed me in terms of how often he posts.

…because Bane wasn’t portrayed in a similar way. Vader didn’t cry about Palpatine like Bane cried about Talia. Vader actually wanted to rule the galaxy. Bane didn’t actually have any goals for himself, he only cared about Talia. The entire film built up Bane: the self-righteous agent of judgement, and the finale gave us Bane: he-likes-a girl-and-that’s-his-entire-character.
There’s nothing that suggests that he didn’t believe in the tenets of the League of Shadows. People can do things for multiple reasons you know…
…but I think they did a great job at developing the Bruce/Selina Kyle relationship.
Lol. There was hardly a relationship at all.
Whatever you say man. Just please don’t tell me that Vicky Vale and Bruce’s relationship in Batman 89 is better. I don’t want to hear that shit lol
That’s not what I was saying. Though at least a romantic relationship was existent in the story in '89.
I wouldn’t call it romantic at all. Bruce fucks Vicky while she’s drunk and then after he stands her up she starts stalking him. Aside from the horrible premise for this “romance” Vicky and Bruce had absolutely no chemistry. At least Bruce and Selina could do a nice back and forth.
Like I said before, I’m not saying what you’re implying I said. In the story (whether it was well developed or not), there was a romantic relationship present.
Fair enough but the chemistry between Bruce and Selina in TDKR makes them getting together at the end of the film make sense. Whereas in Batman 89 it’s the exact opposite where they get together early in the film even though there is little to no chemistry. This made Alfred letting her into the Batcave look even worse than it initially seems.
And I wouldn’t say he just did her while she was drunk. That’s not what was implied in the film at all. They had a date, they liked each other, and they slept together/had sex.
Watch the scene again and you’ll see Vicky was drunk. Maybe she wasn’t absolutely smashed but she definitely was drunk.
Here’s a whole plate of cookies.
The better kind.
You guys are adorable

In TDKR it just seemed like they pretty much said:
“Oh, yeah, if you didn’t notice, they have a relationship goin’ on outside of just speaking with each other. Y’know, because Batman and Catwoman have to be involved with each other, regardless of whether or not it was properly written into the story.”
And however you want to compare it with '89, I don’t care. In my head I was actually comparing it to the relationship between the same two characters in Batman Returns, which also actually existed, and made sense as a part of the story and character development.
All I can say is a disagree. You’re not really giving me anything besides “I don’t like it because reasons”

I felt it gave Bane an instant humanization and a heap more depth as a character. Once that whole flashback scenes ends you go from looking at Bane as a back breaking beast to a dedicated and selfless guy. I don’t think it undermined his character but added to it.
The decision to have Bane care about someone other than himself and the teachings of the League of Shadows doesn’t add to his character…it makes him into a character. Up until that point he’s a one dimensional bad guy but we see with that scene he isn’t completely a monster and endured a lot both in the present and past for someone he cared about. I guess depending on the story people don’t want villains with depth whether it is a bit of depth like in Bane’s case or someone who is more substantially layered like Kylo Ren.
Don’t worry I didn’t take it as a jab even before I read your JEDIT 😄
And to your point filtering undesirable stuff out your mind is a good idea so long as it doesn’t effect the grand scheme of things. I have effectively retconned several aspects of the PT and things are fine in terms of how the overall narrative of the Star Wars Saga flows.

Vader didn’t love Palpatine. Vader had plans to usurp Palpatine.
Bane loved Miranda/Talia. Bane cried for her. Bane didn’t have any plans for himself, he only cared about her.
The specifics don’t matter when the argument always is that she undermines him simply because she’s his boss. As to what you’re saying what is wrong with a villain having depth. Darth Vader, one of if not the greatest villain in cinematic history was shown to have a lot brimming under the surface so why is it a no-no for Bane to be portrayed in a similar way? Also how does this affect his accolades as a villain?
Barely. He still broke the Bat and he still planned literally every phase of the plan even down to the time in which the bomb was going to explode. That’s like saying Vader is totally undermined by Palpatine. Just because both take orders from someone else doesn’t negate their accomplishments.

I have a lot of quibbles like “why did he sleep with Miranda Tate?”
Well I can answer that right now. He had no money at the time and that was probably the hottest chick he would fuck for a while. I wish that would have developed their relationship a bit more but I think they did a great job at developing the Bruce/Selina Kyle relationship.

I’m just not a fan of how it was presented in the PT and old EU because they did that thing where they shoehorned and retconned stuff to make it fit.
I would like to see some examples of this retconning if you don’t mind.
I don’t mind different Jedi having different swordplay styles. I do mind the rigid Form I, Form II, etc. brouhaha, though, and the Jedi-centric portrayal of it all.
If it makes you feel better a decent percentage of Force sensitives make minor tweaks to their specialized form and even use multiple forms but the beings who do this are adept-master Force Wielders.
I wish they did. I can ignore bad vocals in songs like I can disregard sub-par dialogue or acting in a film or bad gameplay in a video game so it’s not that big of an issue for me.
According to this fellow here they are. Nice try though.
Oh, well that’s news to me actually. Thanks for the link. I never liked the lightsaber forms because they all just reeked of the Prequels and EU shoehorning to me. I’m not surprised to learn that they originated in the PT novelizations.
Not sure why it’s a “nice try,” I’m just running off the assumption that everything old is still non-canon. A lot of people haven’t realized that quite yet.
So you assumed that every Jedi and Sith were taught exactly the same way in terms of lightsaber dueling? You do know that in real life there different sword fighting techniques so lightsaber forms are pretty much the same shit. I hate the PT as much as the next guy but Christ man…
Vocals are garbage but the music is impeccable. Different strokes though 😄
According to this fellow here they are. Nice try though.
Once you’ve listened to Cryptopsy there’s no going back…

But the Flying Battery Zone / Goldeneye 007 one was way too metal for me.
What?
It’s just funny getting an outside perspective because in my view the cover could actually be more metal oriented and heavier. That’s probably because I only delve into the more brutal forms of metal these days as opposed to my younger self who used to listen to Metallica all of the time and thought they were super heavy.
What about Shredder being a ninja and the rest of his soldiers being robots, or some guys with guns? You don’t have to be the same as the people under you to lead.
Shredder didn’t rule a galaxy or a planet. I get what you’re trying to say but it’s apples and oranges.

How about this: the former has a better design, but a shitty execution.
Now I’m a wee bit less sad
