Expendables 3 (2014)

Disposable.

The Survivors (1983)

Candice Paluso: Listen, this is gonna sound like a really stupid question, but, uh, aren't you guys gonna get really bored out here if society doesn't collapse?

Donald Quinelle: I wouldn't worry about that. Wes says society is heading for the big "flush". And we're going to be the ones who are clinging to the rim while everything else goes down.

Candice Paluso: Eeew!

Sonny Paluso: What're you going to do if things get better?

Donald Quinelle: Is the air getting better?

Candice Paluso: That's true.

Donald Quinelle: The economy? The Middle East? Arts, literature, television, US Presidents improving?

Sonny Paluso: Anyone can nitpick.

Donald Quinelle: Sonny, name one thing that's gotten better in the last ten years.

Sonny Paluso: [Sonny is stumped]

Donald Quinelle: See?

Candice Paluso: Video games.

Sonny Paluso: Video games! There you are.

Donald Quinelle: Alright, I acknowledge that.

Well that was certainly something. A film that's surprisingly still relevant.

Even the PT shows this. Queen Amidala has to physically fly to the capital to explain what's going on. They don't just flick to the GoogleNaboo app.  The Trade Federation denies it. 

All this strongly implies that mass communication in the SW universe is difficult, inconvienient, and not generally a priority.

 Amidala had to flee Naboo in order to avoid capture.

Why doesn't she message Coruscant once they've landed on Tatooine? Remember, she receives a message from Governor Bibble urging her to contact him. Qui-Gon tells her to send no reply. Why? Because her reply could be traced back to its point of origin. Same for if she sent a message to Coruscant. So the only safe thing to do was maintain radio silence until they safely made it to their final destination.

You also forget the intergalactic message between Obi-Wan on Kamino and the Jedi Temple in AOTC.

What doesn't make sense is why Obi-Wan can have a live conversation between Coruscant and Kamino which is described as being "beyond the Outer Rim." But then later has to relay a recorded message from Geonosis to Tatooine before it can reach Coruscant.

We know Anakin was a great guy because Alec Guinness can actually act. When he says "and a good friend" it is said with such a glowing genuine warmth and wistful nostalgia, it simply couldn't have been any other way.

Everyone argues with their good friends.

 Once in a while maybe. But not all the bleedin time..

 Devil's advocate:

Video Games - a general discussion thread
Time

The only reason I'd touch an Xbone is for HALO. The Xbox fumble had nothing to do with being released early, the management became complacent and cocky. New people are in charge now and they're making nice headway in making up for their predecessors. But I'm still moving to the PS4 as it's still the better system.

So yes, I will be getting Destiny but it'll be on the PS4. =P
