Random Thoughts

I too have been going bald for a while. I too heard that your hairline comes from your mother's father, and mine was completely bald by 30. I either have a 3.5 months left with what's left of my hair, or its not entirely accurate. What's interesting is my literal hair line is the same shape as my dad and his dad, and while my grandfather is bald completely on top, my dad has more hair than I do.

Novels to bridge the gap between Episode VI and Episode VII
Time

I hated Truce at Bukura and Crystal Star. I would skip Crystal Star. I know its the one where Han litterally stands there as cultists are about to sacrifice his kid (even has a youngster, I was thinking to myself "There's no way Han wouldn't be shooting"), and I'm pretty sure its the one where Luke disguises himself using the Force. For some reason, I do not like the idea that a Jedi can just change how other people perceive them. It's either way too powerful, and would come in handy way too often for him to only use it that one time.

Remember that Silence will fall at the fall of the Eleventh.

Surely that means silence fell when Tennant left and the Tardis blew up the first time???
If the Doctor dies at Trenzalore and leaves that rip in time, does that mean 12/13 will have to go back there to die? So 11 didn't fall at Trenzalore. Ah, but they turned off the TARDIS gravity so it would "fall" to the memorial. So when the Great Intelligence was defeated was when the Silence fell? And didn't the "Doctor Who?" question have to be answered and THAT's what caused the Silence to fall?

Why is this so needlessly complicated?

One little gag I added in my War of the Stars first fanedit (I don't know if many people understood it well though) is that it is Obi Wan who accidentally starts the converging garbage compressor walls. He does it when he tries to shut the beam tractor down, but obviously he makes a wrong manip.

You could go over the top with this idea, like maybe having Obi Wan pushing the walls to converge (not knowing what he's doing) and R2 trying to stop them. That could go on for ever.
That's the repetitive joke of ARH. love it.

So, ComicCon exclusive trailer. Sounds exciting.

Hurt is definately playing the Eight and Half-th/Time War Doctor. I don't understand why 11 would be denying his existence when 9 pretty much said that he himself pushed the button and 10 had to deal with the consequences too. RETCON!

And does it make any sense to introduce another regeneration when you're months away from yet another? And isn't that all that he gets? Or did River give him additional shots? RETCON!

I'm interested to see the 50th (for Tennant) and maybe the Christmas special just to close the book on 11, but I'm not sure I'm going to watch past that, or at least I won't make an effort to watch it until its on Netflix.

Another idea is that Luke never figures out who Yoda actually is, and keeps asking when they will meet Yoda, even as he is going along with the actual training. This could carry on into Return of the Jedi and Luke would even ask Force Ghost Obi Wan why they can't meet Yoda.
LOL. "WHY CAN'T WE SEE YODA NOW?!", he says to Obi-Wan's force ghost.

Spock being Spock claims to be logical (everyone knows Vulcanians are as logical as humans. Why not discuss your potentially homicidal breeding habits with the chief medical officer or have it common knowledge for that matter and book shore leave for that embarrassing time of the decade???).
Especially since its almost common knowledge on NX-01, but that's more a flaw with Enterprise than anything else.

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

I don't see ANYONE waiting for everyone to get it. As soon as its rumored to be released, this thread will be FLOODED by people who still don't know how to get it. There's no way you're going to wait for them or anyone else. Heck, I'm still not sure how to do newsgroups, you'd have to wait for ME. ;-)

Maybe we can organize a live tweet style commentary once it's been out a month or something (I'm sure I'll get another fan fan edit commentary commentary out through Commentary Track Stars also), but you'll always have people yelling about spoilers. It would be logicistally pretty hard.

Usually after I write a huge thing like this on my phone, Ady says he has an idea, so we'll see. I'm just not sure how it would work.
