From Donald Trump:
“North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!”

From the Twitter Rules:
“You may not make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people.”

Open and shut case.

Robotic forklift?

Robot Chicken did it first.

I’d be interested in this as well.

Yeah, people need to remember that these are just fantasy movies in space and enjoy them without feeling the need to explain every nitpick and fix every continuity error and improve every shoddy, unconvincing effect. I mean, who spends years of their life doing that?!

😉

And we complained about Han robbing the cradle. Sheesh.

And their donors have basically said that the Republicans had better give them their tax cuts or face re-election without their help.

Or just further distort Kylo’s voice so that you can’t understand anything he says.

I like this.

JEDIT: Probably better for TLRJ since he doesn’t have the helmet on long.

Spoiler Warning for Frink

Didn’t this basically happen in the original TLJ anyway?

The coins are dumb too. I’ll have to watch the scene again but I’d like to remove that bit if possible, which would also allow the removal of the dumb CGI alien that feeds the coins into him in the first place. I liked most of the humor in TLJ but that bit didn’t work for me.

you wouldn’t have the sound of coins jangling inside of him later, which I found really funny.

Same.

I assume that BB-8 is mostly storage space based on this scene.

My preferred Episode 9 would be Chewie dying with the Falcon, Finn dying, Hux trying to overthrow Kylo, Luke haunting Kylo, and I have no idea what they should do with Rey.

Overall, I’m not super excited since TLJ tied up so many plot threads.

The thing is, it seems like Rey’s arc is over to me. She seems to be in the same place Luke was at the end of ROTJ.

This is why I’m hopeful for 9, since Rian turned ROTJ into the end of the middle chapter of the saga, complete with a philosophical quandary. How can a person become a Jedi and return hope to the galaxy while also knowing that the Jedi as a religious institution must end? Either she becomes a Jedi and goes against Luke’s wishes (and perhaps dooms the galaxy in the process), or she goes her own way and fails to inspire hope (for the galaxy is still in love with the Jedi).

As long as this trilogy continues to be a meta-commentary on Star Wars fandom itself, I’ll be satisfied.

This…except for the part about how my parents had a Dave Barry book which I read in my impressionable youth (I thought it was hilarious), and now whenever I bring it up I get strange looks from my peers.

It’s like we’re identical twins, separated at birth.

If we’d gotten even a minute of broom boy in the Casino Bight scenes his ending would be much more defensible.

Um… what?

I’m saying that his part in the movie was rushed, just like the rest of Casino Bight. Just because it’s essential to the theme of the movie to place a character with little plot significance into strong focus in the final shot doesn’t mean that he shouldn’t have an arc. For example, when we are first introduced to him tending the animals, his abusive master could have knocked him to the ground and broken the Luke Skywalker toy, where he abandons it in shame. Then we would have all of the pieces of his arc in place after Rose and Finn restore his faith in the Resistance and the Jedi, and we’d see the repaired figure at the end. It doesn’t take much.

If we’d gotten even a minute of broom boy in the Casino Bight scenes his ending would be much more defensible.

Well I’ve only made that mistake about twice.

The article just proves that 2017 has made it a whole lot harder to write something more absurd than current events.

Stumbled across this. Kinda weird, but less cluttered and more painterly than the original.

Ok but that wasn’t clear because you didn’t say so.

Kylo Puts a Shirt On

Ha!

Although I suppose this could be considered an extraordinarily mild spoiler.

That’s why I only linked to it.

Kylo Puts a Shirt On (Extremely Mild Spoiler For Frink) 😃

Kylo tells her in the red room.

The Maz scene was the only truly offensive thing in this movie. I imagine that this was the intent though, since Rian has no qualms with destroying the stupid aspects of The Force Awakens in the most savage way possible. What better way to tell JJ that Maz is a videogame NPC than by literally putting her in one?

A well-conceived plan. However I would leave the Jakku joke, it really worked for me.

Have plans for editing the Hobbit already been described somewhere I can reference? I find that interesting.

https://forums.fanedit.org/showthread.php?tid=15702

The main goal would be to make a three-in-one edit that is around 2 hours 30 minutes and recaptures the magical adventure angle that I feel has been missing from both the original movies and all of the edits so far. One idea for this that I haven’t seen anywhere else is that I’m planning on cutting Rivendell entirely and keeping quite a bit from the Mirkwood elves.

Thanks, I’ll let you know in a few years when TFA and the Hobbit edit are done 😉
