As is the TFA thread for when that shit pops off again.

In terms of storytelling and character development KOTOR is ahead of SW and ROTJ by a substantial margin. The plot and themes presented in KOTOR II are even deeper and the game is filled with moral ambiguity and things to challenge your perceptions and values. Still install TSLCRM though.

In my mind all of the EU’s failings are rendered null and void due to Kreia.

Only put in 4 hours today but the shit was treacherous…

I posted a link to new footage, and nobody says a thing about it.

Hey I checked out that link, but I really don’t know what to say about 2.5 milliseconds of new footage. 😋

I’m saying lol

I think the Barash Vow is something that should be discussed (even if for but a brief moment) because it could play a significant role in TLJ’s plot. What could be even more significant are the new rules Adam Driver said will be introduced in TLJ. Rehashing old arguments we were having nearly 2 years ago isn’t important in the slightest…I thought most of us would have moved on by now.

It’s as if people on here have a blockage in their brain that refrains them from talking about TLJ in this thread.

Careful, frevious…

Considering I’m being as serious as he always is I won’t take it personally.

This is ad hominem. You must be stopped.

For many reasons that have yet to be revealed. Stay tuned 😄

I think the introduction of the Barash Vow may kill the chance of a new order of Grey Force Wielders being introduced in TLJ though lines like “Light, darkness, the balance” and “It’s so much bigger” along with other things in the canon still makes it a decent possibility. If Rian did go this route he needs to answer when Luke would have gotten back into the fold because I will not accept that Luke is forever abandoning his loved ones to their fate. Whatever they go with I hope these new rules Adam was talking about are absolutely game changing.

Fuck “coolest.” Skyler is just as good a character as the others, better even than some of those.

She is well written but is very unlikable up until Season Five. The circumstances that she was in and her shifting temperament/moral code had me feeling for her at certain moments during that Season.

the ST album is still my favorite, with DD coming in at a close second. Haven’t cared so much for the rest, but each album has had a few good tracks.

I almost forgot they had other albums which is funny considering I heard at least a few songs from their first LP while growing up.

Ooh, you should give it a spin. Not a bad tune on there. Quite different than everything that followed though. Much more eclectic.

The possibilities…

They’ve released instrumental versions of every album so far. I recommend 'em to any and all Gorillaz fans. Plastic Beach is a much more enjoyable album with no vocals.

Personally this would make every song more enjoyable save for Feels Good Inc., Kids With Guns and November Has Come. I can’t imagine demo versions, live performances or even rehearsals coming close to what they recorded for their LP’s. Though let me reiterate that my frame of reference for Gorrilaz is pretty limited.

Star Wars 8 Creates ‘New Rules’ For the Franchise

http://screenrant.com/star-wars-8-rian-johnson-adam-driver/

“Adam Driver says writer and director Rian Johnson has created “new rules” for the franchise in Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi. And in many ways, The Last Jedi is shaping up to be an unintended response to many of the complaints fans and critics had about The Force Awakens, most of which revolved around the overwhelming similarities between its plot and that of A New Hope.”

My biggest fear about this film has now been alleviated, but I hope the new concepts being thrown at us are actually good. Nothing is more disappointing than a concept that could have been something exemplary.

Hannibal Season One - 8.3/10

Hannibal Season Two - 8.7/10

Hannibal Season Three - 8.5/10

After a second viewing I enjoyed damn near every aspect series far more this time around. One of the worse things that can happen is if someone picks up the show for a forth Season as the ending was as perfect as you can get for doing something slightly different.

I can see why it would be illegal on a moral basis but the practical benefits of legalized prostitution are often ignored by people. Not only would the STD rate would drop considerably, if regulated prostitution would bring in a substantial amount of revenue.

Disregarding our vastly different opinions on Aliens I want to agree with you, but I’m hoping Awakening fixes certain problems in a way that makes Covenant look like a substantially better Alien film. I’m not sure how that is going to translate in the long term as it pertains to how this trilogy (quadilogy?) is seen. I just want to Xenomorphs to have been made by the Engineers or some other Alien race and Alan Dean Foster gave Ridley the solution on a silver platter.

Well, if they are going to fire Lord and Miller, why not get rid of that offensive hack Trevorrow while they’re at it?

PLEASE…get that man the fuck away from Star Wars. It baffles me that the same people who thought Rian Johnson was the right creative mind to push the story forward in a meaningful way thought Colin was the suitable person to end such a story.

EDIT:

Rian says otherwise.

Gorillaz - Humanz

How’s the newest album? Does it sound like previous ones?

It’s in the same light but the album has a lot more features and that is the biggest difference between this and Demon Days. Musically at its core it’s still Gorillaz though not as refined and consistent as they once were. Hopefully Humanz grows on me more as I live with the album.

More Ft.'s than Plastic Beach?!

Humanz has 20 tracks and out of that number there are 13 songs with features

Plastic Beach has 16 but only has 10 songs with features

Ratio is about the same from what I can tell in my current state. I didn’t include the Deluxe Edition since all the songs have features besides the interlude.

the ST album is still my favorite, with DD coming in at a close second. Haven’t cared so much for the rest, but each album has had a few good tracks.

I almost forgot they had other albums which is funny considering I heard at least a few songs from their first LP while growing up.

Ridley Scott and Fox seem to be pivoting once again as The Engineers are coming back into the fold in Awakening. The Engineers coming home from seeding other planets to find their civilization destroyed and the planet devoid of all fauna is a solid method of retconning Covenant and serves for pretty good motivation for the Engineers. We have to have to get answers this time…

Also bring back the Neomorph.

Han not being portrayed right is the best of reasons to split but the worse problem the film could have had.

And it took the bosses at Lucasfilm five months to realize this? When the heck did they decide to start watching the footage?

It’s something that should have been noticed before preproduction as the script would have reflected this possibility even more than the footage.
