Sometimes I listen to “Your Father Would be Proud” on repeat.

Glad you’re feeling better!

It sounds like ‘real stuff’ to me. When you’re more able to type, do you know why you’re getting these migraines? I know someone who got them all the time until they cut caffeine out of their diet, and now just gets them when storms roll in.

Guess I’m just more OCD than normal. But I already knew that.

Don’t you just hate it when you decide not to quote someone then your response is shunted to the next page?

Ray, if you need to talk to anyone, please tell us here or send me a PM. I must admit I’m a bit worried right now.

To answer the decade old question, yes, I can disregard Leia as Luke’s sister, for the simple reason that there’s no real proof that they’re related. Ben merely says ‘Your insight serves you well’ in response to Luke’s intuition. He’s already known to lie when it serves his purposes, so he could merely have been allowing Luke to believe that Leia was his sister to make sure that the real twin stayed ‘safely anonymous’.

The hint of Leia’s Force sensitivity only appeared after Luke basically said that she should be terrifyingly powerful with the Force, and this tracks in my mind to how the Force should really work - if you believe in it, you can become strong in it. Even The Force Awakens doesn’t ruin this idea, since she would have had 30 years to develop some real Force ability and Ben junior would have grown up believing that he was destined for greatness.

Glad to hear it’s not entirely bad news!

There are plenty of people who appreciate at least some of the Special Edition changes, so I’d definitely like to see that happen if it didn’t distract from the work on the originals. The SE shots in the official blu-ray are often more degraded (color loss, detail loss) than the unaltered shots for whatever reason, so even if you were to get just the SE shots scanned it would be an important contribution.

If tonight was your last night, is there anything special you would do?

I hope the question is entirely theoretical.

I’d stay up all night outside looking up at the stars and talking to the people I love.

Ha!

Have you ever had a dream that you, um, you had, your, you- you could, you’ll do, you- you wants, you, you could do so, you- you’ll do, you could- you, you want, you want them to do you so much you could do anything?

I can’t believe so many people are so gullible, and by “so many people” I mean “anyone.”

Your haughty rejection of gullible people means that you’re secretly gullible yourself. I, on the other hand, embrace my gullibility.

It’s okay to be looking forward to this edit, Frink.

What a strange website. I found this though.

A good suggestion.

The Ancient Fear was a title which was tossed around for 7 online. I like Shadow of the Empire more than that, but if we’re not doing grand titles then The Starkiller Edit is perfectly serviceable.

No Hitchhiker’s Reference. Even more egregious since the movie came out only two years before.

It means to turn the Borg into ‘a species of furry, non-sentient animals raised for their milk, meat, and hide’.

Failed at #42.

99/100

Fun fact: I watched the pilot for Enterprise for the first time right before watching Discovery.

Both pilots left me with much the same feeling.

I love Enterprise. All of the senior staff are great. Archer, T’Pol, Trip, Reed, Hoshi, and Travis. They all are interesting characters in their own right. And Scott Bakula is a fantastic actor.

The main problem Enterprise has is actually addressed by Archer himself—they keep getting drawn in to the temporal cold war so much that Archer has to straight up tell Daniels to knock it off.

I haven’t seen more than the pilot for Enterprise, but save from the song choices it wasn’t bad. The actors are decent, but I’ve no desire to see the rest of the show. Same with Discovery. I enjoy Michelle Yeoh but the crew interaction doesn’t endear me to them at all.

Why not both?

Have the Emperor simply say ‘An entire legion awaits them’, and also beef up the battle so it looks like a legion of Stormtroopers.

The most enduring aspect of Avatar was its worldwide appeal. Whether or not the sequels do particularly well in the states or Europe is rather beside the point.

Even Luke complained he couldn’t see a thing while wearing one.

That’s because they’re so high-end that they are custom built to correct for any ocular deficiencies, and the trooper Luke killed was extremely nearsighted.

Anything to do with this?
