and that youtube video makes me wonder, why does an audio editor have such a big office?

I thought it was gorgeous, but I'm less discerning than many of our forum colleagues. 

Uwe Boll boxes too. Weird.

I'm dying to dress like a Jedi and take my (by then) seven yeAr old to see it.

Were it not for my lad I'd probably be.a bit less excited, but never blase.

NECROPOST!

So, I gots me a new laptop, with that cursed Windows 8.

It runs like a charm, streams video well, but for some reason Flash games (specifically Avengers Alliance on Facebook, my lil boys favorite) run rather slow and choppy. Everything else I do goes just fine.

Any thoughts why this would be so?

My first experience with that type of thing was in college with a Christian young lady who was saving herself for marriage.

Whether Vader won the fight or not, he was still an emotional wreck, a dark side dilettante, and a willing slave of the Emperor. His trajectory would not have changed very much. Yoda and Bail Organa would have come up with different arrangements for Luke, but that would not have changed Yoda's endgame of training him to assassinate Vader. It probably would've happened sooner, without Obi-Wan's sentimental notions of avuncular rights.

 How would they have gotten Luke? Anakin would have walked back over to Padme, seen her alive, and the kids would be in his hands. 

Ah Columbus. A bad navigator, a bad governor, and a dude who just loved slavery. 

But as long as Italian Americans like to have parades, I guess we're stuck deifying him.

USA! USA! USA!

Obi Wan won because he was the better Jedi. It seems very backward to look at what actually happened in the film, and through some kind of lens say its 'wrong'.

That being said, if Annie had won, its likely he would have been the one to raise Luke and Leia. He would have had a very different life.

Huge display at the bookstore. The OT wins in the long run. Cream rises to the top.

I remember reading that interview a while ago and being really disappointed.  Even the people who made Star Wars have trouble seeing its greatness, it would seem.

 I'm not certain that thinking the character is a not so bright necessarily translates as a slap against the movie.

I am so excited about this.

So which Donna do you hope they will use? The one from the series, or the movie? Andy and Lucy's baby will now be 24 years old. And Josie is still stuck in a dresser knob.

 Lets say Donna moved to Seattle and manages a rental car agency now. 

Andy is now Sherriff, and his son is a deputy.

Harry lives in the woods now, writing erotica in a cabin with no power.

Leo reformed and is now a priest.

As a drummer, when I see the moon & star, I think of Turkish made cymbals.  Nearly every brand (Agop, Mehmet, Zildjian, Byzance, etc) all use that symbol in their logo.  I think every drummer sees that pattern constantly, never associating it with Islam.

Are you claiming cymbal symbols are simple? 

I once heard Jackson specifically asked for a part in the film.

I think he's a fine actor who made a fairly compelling character with what little he had to work with. 

DALE IS STILL TRAPPED!!! 

I really enjoyed it, and my 5 year old just lit up.

I still hate that Sabine wears a helmet and shoulder armor, but bare sleeves. 

I liked Captain Sideburns, and his side-burns helmet.

Ezra and Kanaan? Are they doing a 'Jedi in diaspora' Jewish thing intentionally?

I like that Kanaan and the pilot apparently have an adult mature relationship. Not something you usually see in genre adventures. 

I hope the big monkey guy stays grumpy, I like him.

I remember that Harrison Ford recently said Han was stupid.  I don't think of the character as stupid, but I think Ford may have played him as being stupid in some scenes.  Does this change the way we need to watch the movies?

 Han is plainly not the sharpest vibroblade in the space-drawer. Remember, he's a low level hood in hock to a drug lord. He's full of bluster, but follows Obi-Wan without question, never offers his own ideas, is easily persuaded by promise of reward, and is more than a bit immature.  He can't even sneak up on a scout trooper. 

While awesome, I'd agree Han ain't no genius.

Cooper and Pratt are both too funny. 

Harrison Ford looked, and sounded like a stoic action hero. So whenever Indiana fumbled, or was goofy, it seemed almost out of place. I think therein lied the charm of the character.

I think an actor closed to that mold might be a Jeremy Rener type. 

Again... I personally am opposed to any recasting.

I was an RA and a RA coordinator. Just go over the RAs head to the boss, whoever that is. Frame it that youre troubled about this but also that you have concern for this dudes state of mind. Be honest about why you didn't go to the RA.

Best story to me would be if Leia is married to another man at the beginning of episode 7 but still have to ask Han Solo's help somehow. Maybe they even did not see each other for a long time. That way you can still keep a certain romantic/nostalgic tension between the two characters and write some entertaining dialogue.

Maybe Han Solo could even have to deal with Leia's kids (with that other man). You know: he does not like them at first, but they learn to know each others during the movie, etc... (I know it sounds a bit like Indy 4...even if in that movie Mutt really was Indy's son) Could be a bit tongue in cheek, but could work, if done well. And would be more interesting than if they were his own kids, with children/parents usual problems, blah blah.

 That is the worst idea ever.

Especially since it brings to mind the abysmal Courtship of Princess Leia and it's moronic Leia/Han/Space Fabio love triangle.

 I liked Courtship of Princess Leia.  I wouldn't want to see a movie based on Han losing though.

I would love to see another movie about a character that is SO CLEARLY Indiana Jones, but a different actor with a different name.

Same feel, a new hero theme, slightly different settings, same over the top action bits. 

"In the Spirit of Indiana Jones come... ... BROCK CARMICHAEL, Treasure Hunter!" 

Great news Ray!

Got a "Rebels" kids meal at Subway today.

I just can't get past that lame pink Boba Fett lady with no sleeves.

Just like Asokha in her biker shorts and halter top, in a WAR at 14 years old! The adults had armor, she had a sexy gym suit. And when she got more mature (at 15) they gave her a shirt with a boob window. All the good characterization was undermined every time I looked at her.
