Unlocking Everything in Battlefront II Requires 4,528 hours or $2100

Oh whoops, I meant Imperial Feast.

Only watched a couple of season 2, they seem a lot better than the first batch. Accidental Allies was fun and surprising for who it co-stars. Also, that voice actor does a pretty decent Han.

Coming up on 10 years in the MCU. What a journey it’s been. Looking forward to seeing what’s on the horizon…

I’m still waiting on seeing a single stinking Rodian in the ST!

For director Rian Johnson, Star Wars: The Last Jedi was just the beginning of his journey in a galaxy far, far away.

Lucasfilm is excited to announce that Johnson will create a brand-new Star Wars trilogy, the first of which he is also set to write and direct, with longtime collaborator Ram Bergman onboard to produce.

As writer-director of The Last Jedi, Johnson conceived and realized a powerful film of which Lucasfilm and Disney are immensely proud. In shepherding this new trilogy, which is separate from the episodic Skywalker saga, Johnson will introduce new characters from a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explored.

“We all loved working with Rian on The Last Jedi,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. “He’s a creative force, and watching him craft The Last Jedi from start to finish was one of the great joys of my career. Rian will do amazing things with the blank canvas of this new trilogy.”

“We had the time of our lives collaborating with Lucasfilm and Disney on The Last Jedi,” Johnson and Bergman said in a joint statement. “Star Wars is the greatest modern mythology and we feel very lucky to have contributed to it. We can’t wait to continue with this new series of films.”

Johnson’s upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives in U.S. theaters on Dec. 15, 2017.

No release dates have been set for the new films, and no porgs were available for comment.

Looks like it’s time for another suggestion. The Wol Cabasshite hanging from the wall next to Jabba. In the wide shots when Threepio is declaring they’re to be thrown into the Pit of Carkoon.
It’s alive, tilting its head and waving its tongue:

But during the close up shot of Threepio it just hangs there dead:

And then resumes living once they cut back to the wide shot. Perhaps at least its tongue could be animated a little to help offset this?

Suffice it to say we have better tools, methods and knowledge regarding translations of ancient Greek than they did back then. And they did not translate the original KJV Bible from scratch, but rather from another translation of the Bible.

The KJV was translated using over 5000 different sources in Hebrew, Greek and Latin; collectively known as the Textus Receptus. In the 1800s two new versions of the New Testament were discovered, written in Coptic Egyptian and known as the Alexandrian Codices. They dated back further than the texts in the Textus Receptus and so were believed to be more accurate. They vary wildly from the Textus Receptus, even omitting entire verses and are what most modern English translations (including the NIV) are based on.

HOWEVER, in the time since there have been over 24,000 fragments and complete texts of the New Testament discovered. Many of which are older than the Alexandrian Codices. They’ve been assembled together collectively as The Majority Text. With all 24,000 pieces available for comparison, they agree over 90% with the original Textus Receptus. The basis of the King James Bible.

And if by “doctrine” you’re referring to the '11 NIV including “brothers and sisters” in places, my understanding is that the wording used in the original source text was considered more gender-neutral back then than to deliberately address only just men.

By doctrine I mean the myriad examples listed in that second link in my post.

Kings James Version? Pfft. New Revised Standard Version or bust.

eh. New International Version or New Living Translation.
2011 NIV is fine. I’m not picky about it being the '84 NIV like some people might be.

New King James Version might be “poetic”, but I imagine that wasn’t the intent of the original authors of the scrolls/books (outside of Psalms and Song of Solomon, obviously). KJV has also been said to be the least accurate translation, but is widely popular because a) there is no copyright; and b) it was the first ever english translation widely available to the public at large.

I don’t know where you get that idea about the KJV. The scholars involved in that translation were very meticulous about being accurate with their translation. So much so that they italicized any word they had to add for clarity in the English language. So that the reader is always clear about what is actually in the text.

The NIV on the other hand is very liberal about changing the scriptures to suit the translators’ doctrine.

The KJV has its own issues but they’re nowhere near as profound as the NIV.

You gotta binge it to winge it.
Wait…

THE ROCKETEER (1991)

Been wanting to revisit this one for some time. Hadn’t seen it in a couple decades, fantastic film! Joe Johnston did a great job of adapting this for the big screen. The film still holds up wonderfully. Lots of action and adventure to spare. It’s a shame we never got a sequel.

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Wow! I knew this was going to be special but I had no idea. Absolutely LOVED IT! I’d have to say this is my favorite Marvel film now. Taika Waititi knocked it out of the park!

They say that you can kinda see Vader’s visage in this poster for The Last Jedi.

They say it’s this…

But it’s actually:

I’d say there are some important differences…

1 makes some sense, which I think is what nuCanon says, but the other two are trying to establish rules that the movies themselves don’t follow.

1 is the old EU explanation. The new canon has turned them into mood rings.

I’d care more if ET was a better movie.

Yeah but you’re an emotionless computer so your opinions on the matter are suspect at best.

The Rocketeer

I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to get around to reading this. Adventure serials are some of my favorite things and this captures their spirit beautifully!

Wonderful art, fun story and dialog.

Welp, looks like Discovery has been “borrowing” from an indie adventure game:

Sorry, it looks like we’ve now moved on but I can’t let this summary of the last few pages I made go to waste:
