“Did your men deactivate the hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon?”
“Yessir, we had them unplug an easily accessible wire. They will think its something a lot more complicated, it should take them days to figure it out!”
“Couldn’t you just have removed it completely?”
It’s … tinny? For lack of a better word. The brass isn’t deep enough and the lighter percussion is too loud. The SW logo is too big as well grumble grumble. It all just looks bold or a similar but wider typeface. Maybe I am just insane though.
Edit: or maybe not … https://medium.com/@FixTheCrawl/the-force-awakens-misses-the-mark-on-the-oldest-star-wars-tradition-ccb37f727872#.t5e8vhqrt
That’s just someone complaining about them changing the font back to ANH/ESB.
On a side note I always loved that R2 fixed the hyperdrive given Han’s disposition towards droids
R2 doesn’t even fix it, he basically plugs it in!
Ignore this is Cosmo for some reason:
http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a8878322/trum-racism-question-electoral-college/
Reporter: Since your election campaign, and even after your victory, we’ve seen a sharp rise in anti-semitic incidents across the United States. And I wonder what do you say to those among the Jewish community in the States and in Israel, and maybe around the world, who believe and feel that your administration is playing with xenophobia and maybe racist tones?
Trump: I just want to say that we are very honored by the victory that we had. 306 electoral college votes. We were not supposed to crack 220. [to Netanyahu] You know that, right? There was no way to 221. But then they said there’s no way to 270. And there’s tremendous enthusiasm out there. I will say that we are going to have peace in this country.
He then goes on to babble about how all violence is bad and he knows Jewish people.
Does anyone have any idea on how Adywan and his team will treat the “a lightsaber… a Jedi weapon” dialogue phrase for the Prequels? Is there any way Palpatine will not use a lightsaber but only the Force in his duel against Mace Windu?
I believe neither Yoda nor Palpatine will have lightsabers. Especially not fight one another.
I guess we watch enough shows at night that we could probably get a couple movies in a day… I’m starting to think like my wife, shows are easy because they’re cut into pieces you can stop watching between, but movies are a commitment of a couple hours!
From my understanding, it’s just a bigger Blu-ray disc with a different compression format.
Don’t miss that Russia operates by leaking anti-Russian information to the media, somehow. So now Russia is bad?
So, let’s break this down:
Just another morning in the White House!
The fake news media is going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred. @MSNBC & @CNN are unwatchable. @foxandfriends is great!
This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton’s losing campaign.
Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?).Just like Russia
Thank you to Eli Lake of The Bloomberg View - “The NSA & FBI…should not interfere in our politics…and is” Very serious situation for USA
Crimea was TAKEN by Russia during the Obama Administration. Was Obama too soft on Russia?
The real scandal here is that classified information is illegally given out by “intelligence” like candy. Very un-American!
I used to be able to watch five-to-seven feature-length films every day, one right after the other. I don’t know how I ever managed to accomplish that; these days, I get tired watching two movies in a row.
Ah, to be young again.
I can’t even think of 5-7 movies I’d want to watch in a day.
Probably a stupid question whose answer is already known, but humor me:
In Harmy’s Despecialized Edition of SW 1977, it’s clear that Luke and Obi-Wan’s lightsabers are the same shade of blue. However, for some reason in the GOUT transfer Luke’s blade appears white in the scene on the Millennium Falcon.
Is it possible that some elements from the original in-camera white lightsaber effects (also seen in the 1976 trailer) snuck into the Falcon training scene on the 1990s laserdisc release?
The in-camera effect was just a reflection, like safety vests on construction workers. The outer glow would have been a post-production effect, which the training scene has.
Yes, Warb, amazing.
I can’t find any Legends novels at my library except for a couple of Legacy of the Force, Fate of the Jedi and The Old Republic books, and the Darth Bane trilogy. Also, the Legends stuff I’ve read so far I’ve mostly liked.
The Thrawn trilogy is ok, but I’m not sure you need to read the Legends books before you read the new one. Though it is entirely possible that the new book fits into both canons, judging by its place in the timeline (pre-Rebels). Cause I’m sure Zahn can’t be arsed to care about there being a new canon.
I really, really hope not serious.
Of course he is. Who could have missed that classic?
The TFA theme wasn’t conducted by Williams this go around. He was busy with other parts of the score and entrusted it to a friend of his. Which is why it sounds so off. Here’s an article about it.
Different conductor, different musicians. Very interesting.
Hope that guy likes being reported a dozen times.
The TFA Crawl colours and sound still feel weird to me. Maybe the typeface is slightly wrong?
TFA uses the same title font as A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. Return of the Jedi used a different font that they used throughout the prequels. The R’s are the biggest clues.
The color is fine. The theme recording does sound different.
As it should because it is a new recording unlike 2/3 of the PT crawls.
I haven’t caught this.
John Wick
I know, I’m late the party, but here I am. The story was just deep enough for me to care, while having smooth-shot action that’s been lacking for years now.
7/10
I watched both Wayne’s World films on TV. They’re both good, but I prefer the second one, as it takes more advantage of the fourth wall breaking and general silliness that populates the universe. I’d give them both a seven out of ten.
The second one also has Ralph Brown. I used to have his speech about getting Ozzy brown M&M’s memorized.
Inspired by Empire Magazine actually referencing my images in their “Complete List Of Star Wars Changes”, I started a twitter account to hightlight some of the changes.

Frink also doesn’t write something online and 24.5 million people see it instantly.*
*as far as I know. Jay, what’s the traffic numbers for the site nowadays?
The Millennial Snowflake joke is guaranteed.
Please tell me again, what is to stop people from tunneling under the wall?
The moat full of alligators, that Cuba will pay for for some reason.
I already started guessing the jokes in a FB group:
Ends with a three-way between the Rey, Finn, and Poe analogs.
Old Kirk and New Kirk will fight somehow, while Uhura and Spock make out.
this is going to have someone who looks like Keanu Reeves kick a dog and shoot people in the head at some point, with the other characters yelling “oh shit, it’s John Wick!”
The small person they use in all their movies as Tyrion Lannister screwing a prostitute while drinking and shooting a crossbow.
The Stranger Things gang run into a scene, yell something, then run out.
Kylo Ren fires up his lightsabre and it’s hilariously a three pronged sex toy?
Supreme Leader Snoke on the toilet for sure.
BB-8 is just a soccer ball. But that’s actually kind of funny.
The Maz Kanata analogue is essentially Tyler Perry’s Madea, telling everyone they need Force Jesus.
The cantina band is Lady Gaga held up by wires.
Their Captain Phasma (Colonel Vag-ma, or some such shit) is Carmen Elecktra in a silver bikini and a helmet.
Randy Quaid makes an appearance as The Man in Black from Westworld.
Yes, Jakku is the old west, and it turns out they’re all robots, who could have guessed.
Our leads are hiding out in the Millennial Snowflake, when the true owner walks out, and who is it? But the Fast family and they start talking about family. Then something large falls on them
END OF JOKE
Doubles for all the principal actors begin body-popping.
What pop song is just old enough to include in a scene of Trump and Putin dancing?
“Happy”
I predict Ham Salad, the famous smuggler, will have plenty of things to say about the Millennial Snowflake.
And don’t forget the jokes about Hamilton, and how it’s just School House Rock for hipsters. Or. Something.
Just like a hundred lightsabers-as-dicks jokes
A tree will say I am groot. That’s it.
Also they will take a popular film set to be released around the time and insert something from the trailer in it.
Kylo Ren unmasks and he’s trump. That’s the joke. Oh wait, he mentions the Starkiller Base being yuge, and the rebellion is gonna pay for it.
The next time Kylo unmasks, no mention of the trump thing at all- instead Kylo’s a Shia Labeouf analogue who, after killing Han Solo (or I guess Hung Solow) picks up a fedora and puts it on- cue Indiana Jones theme because that’s still topical? He then says “My franchise now!”
