Forgot to post this when it actually happened, but I went to a comic con last weekend in Worcester, MA and scored a bunch of Star Wars schwag. The 501st had a charity raffle where I ended up winning a gift basket full of figures and legos and stuff. Also got a Millennium Falcon model kit, the 40th anniversary black series Luke action figure with the 77 packaging, and the coup de grace, a Sebastian Shaw Anakin Skywalker action figure from the 90s.

Awesome man, would you be able to post a picture of the loot?

Sad.

Reminds me of the dodecahedron from The Phantom Tollbooth.

Hehe, I agree, there is a similarity. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the movie.

I should check out the movie, I’ve only read the book.

I’ve got that song “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC stuck in my head and it’s really annoying.

Well thanks for that.

I’m bitchin’

Where are my Random Pictures and Gifs? Three pages of basically no actual images.

I’ve been playing a heap of Fallout 3 recently. I know it gets a lot of hate, but if this is the worst Fallout game, I can’t wait to play the best.

I haven’t seen Wonder Woman yet, but I’ve pretty much despised every single DCEU film so far. What’s even worse is that so many “edgy” kids at my school like to boast about how good Suicide Squad is.

Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith - (2005)

Decided to watch this again, and screw it, I actually like it a lot. This time around I didn’t mind the dialogue or acting, and I adored the music, action scenes, and cinematography. I also really enjoyed watching it. I know I’ll get hounded for this, but I give it a seven out of ten.

Awesomeness. One of my favourite parts of Civil War, I can only hope his solo movie is just as good.

Honestly, this movie is my last go-round with the New Continuity - having been lukewarm about TFA and completely disappointed by Rogue One and any of the new canon novels I’ve read (exception: Lost Stars). If “The Last Jedi” is anything less than amazing, I’m out. I’ll stick with the OT and the 1990s EU stuff that I enjoy.

Yeah, even though I really enjoy The Force Awakens and don’t mind Rogue One, all the current EU stuff I’ve read just hasn’t been as interesting to me as the original EU, which I consider as my personal canon (minus anything pertaining to The Clone Wars 2008 movie or TV show).

I think the Spleen would be the best place too.

A big thanks to everyone who gave Prometheus shit because it tried to do something different with the franchise and tried to tackle questions that fascinate most people on a primal level. I love all of you.

You’re welcome.

And Alien 5 is dead so now we’re both sad.

The proposed Alien 5 would have wiped out Alien 3 and Resurrection, so I’m glad it didn’t happen.

Reading through Thrawn at the moment, and while I enjoy it a hell of a lot better than Aftermath: Life Debt, I think reading it straight after the Thrawn trilogy was a mistake, because those books are so good, yet this new one is a little sloggish. It also doesn’t help that I have the Dark Tide duology waiting for me, which I read a bit of and was very positive about.

I read the Darth Plagueis novel, and didn’t come away thinking of him as an all time great, nor his master. They certainly don’t match up to people like Vader or Revan.

Plagueis was a true Sith; never in his life had he considered betraying the Sith so Vader shouldn’t be in this conversation. Being a Sith is far more than using the Dark Side; it’s being committed to it until the last sliver of life leaves a Sith’s body. As for Revan he has more feats under his belt and may be a slightly more interesting character but Plagueis is superior in terms of his knowledge of the Dark Side (and other esoteric facets of the Force via his midichlorian manipulation) and he did far more for the Sith Order in terms of ensuring their dominance over the Galaxy. There’s not enough of Tenebrous to really even render judgement on him.

Sorry, I thought you were basing your “all time great” thing on them as characters. In that respect, I found both Plagueis and Tenebrous very mediocre.

Just a question, but what colour was Leia’s first lightsaber? I know she got a blue one in the Dark Nest trilogy, but her original one is shown as being red on some book covers, but described as being “green-white” in the Thrawn trilogy. Did she change it?

Spring of 2018 can’t come soon enough.

Spring of 2017 can’t come fast enough. Only three more months.

Meh.

Donald Trump is pretty funny. He may not be the best guy out there but he’s good for a laugh.

Funny, that comment could apply to frevious as well.

Glover’s awesome, but I feel he is too goofy for the role of Lando, which should be excruciatingly suave.

I don’t know how the Revenge of the Sith novelisation would be canon, because it references things like the Battle of Jabiim and Shatterpoints.

Alien: Covenant (2017)

Not a fan of anything in the series since Resurrection

Since?

You liked Resurrection?

I think I’ve made that pretty clear in the “Ranking the Alien films” thread.

I don’t keep track of things like that.

But if you liked it, you’re wrong. :p

Nah, 'tis good stuff.
