Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Donald Trump, said the White House press secretary gave “alternative facts” when he inaccurately described the inauguration crowd as “the largest ever” during his first appearance before the press this weekend.

Lies are now “alternative facts.”

Thanks!

Sorry, I’ve been in bad mode today. Having an ***hole become the leader of my country does that to me.

I’m sorry you’re in a bad mood but I don’t appreciate being someone’s punching bag. Tear off at Trump, not me, if he makes you so mad. Please.

I think Trumpy voodoo dolls could be quite lucrative. 😉

Vader conceivably could have kept Kenobi’s saber on his person, therefore it survived DS 1 blowing up. After that, who knows?

Well the Kenobi lightsaber prop was re-tooled for Luke’s lightsaber, so now I’m imagining a Rogue One type story between Empire and Jedi where Luke steals Ben’s lightsaber from Vader and improves it, since he lacks the skill to make one himself.

Luke built a new green saber. (It was even a cut scene from the movie.) Vader even referred to it as a sign Luke’s skills were complete.

I’m starting to think that IP55 is slightly more annoying than Mala.

Who’s the troll? I’m a firm believer you are a prick

I called you annoying, not a troll. Perhaps you should invest in some reading comprehension.

That’s funny
…I’ve probably got more letters after my name than your address mo fo

Abbreviated profanity used towards another member is just as bad as using the whole phrase. Strike two!

Now I think you are purposely being annoying.

(If I hadn’t promised to back down, I’d tell you what I think you here.)

There is no need to berate me verbally. Back off please. You have been askedd politely and publicly numerous times by me. This is the last time I will ask. Thank you.

You both need to work harder on ignoring each other. Is it really that hard?

The world is full of assholes, they are certainly not exclusive to Mr. Trump.

Hey Jetrell, here is a new avatar for you to use during the Trump Administration:

I haven’t seen such an outfit since the Bicentennial. 😉

Did that outfit have cat buttons too?

I think they’re tiny smoke bombs. When cornered by the press, yank one off, and vanish in a puff! 😉

It’s actually rather becoming on her.

She’s no Cathy Lee Crosby though. 😉

The only thing that exists on my world is the OT, vader lived on the death star and other ships haha. Not some count ducula castle…cannon,prequels and Wikis are just shite that was created after the event.

What part of previously unused Ralph McQuarrie OT concept do you not get?

None of it, the films are the films.

I have to agree Just because Ralph designed it doesn’t mean we should all accept it as canon.
I dig it though.

It’s something Disney pulled out of their asses.

Ftfy

Kindly bugger off.

Rogue One * <em>Spoilers</em> * Thread
Time

I saw RO in glorious 70mm IMAX last weekend, (twice!) and was definitely worth the plague I caught on my trip. (Still the best sound presentation hands down.) I thought film grain helped the Tarkin scenes a lot. The movie as a whole is growing on me.
There was also a six minute preview of Dunkirk, and the aerial combat scenes were stunning.
Was also tempted to get popcorn just for the sweet Death Star shaped bucket. Did any non IMAX theaters get those?

And still not enough Moroff.

To be fair it was never referenced in any of the films before Rogue One. So if your personal canon is the films only, as mine is, then the question of his home is an open one. Well, at least until Rogue One was released anyway.

But there are multiple things we aren’t told and shown in the OT. Vader slaughtering Rebels is a perfect example.

Somethings should be left alone…

If it doesn’t add anything to the story or characters sure but this isn’t the case.

I enjoyed leaving that to my imagination… Then someone did the unthinkable and wiped out the childhood memories of millions of 40+ folk.

Funny, my childhood memories seem to be fully intact.

Your star wars ones tainted…

Nope! They’re just fine. Sorry!
