Well, the rules are going be enforced as interpreted by Jay and the mods.

I don’t think it’s as simple as that warb but I wish it were.

I believe it’s 100% as simple as that because Jay pays the bills around here.

ahh, but Fo is making a passive aggressive comment suggesting that the enforcement is not fair.

That can’t be right, because his passive aggressive comments go in another thread.

Why Doesn't the Resistance have Tie Fighters in The Fore Awakens?
Time

Sure, let’s judge the entire technological advancement of the Star Wars universe by a single cell of an unsupported faction that has no capital ships and a single wing of fighters and an army that the government doesn’t even believe exists and is designed to specifically evoke the Empire.

Why are we even still talking about this?

It just a dirty rehash. That is the reality.

Oh.

-I have no memory of Obi-Wan & Anakin. I read the first issue when it came out, then didn’t pick up my comics for a couple of months and just never got to the other issues when I finally went and got my giant stack of books. They’re on the shelf and I’m sure I’ll get to them eventually, but I don’t feel any sort of burning need.

It’s got like airships or something? It’s not very good, but there’s some Palpatine/Teen Anakin bits that are interesting.

Trump is also a 70 year old baby.

Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn’t know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a…

Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never “mocked” a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him…

“groveling” when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!

The best part for me was that I had a dozen tweets in my feed immediately after her speech beginning the countdown to Trump calling Streep “overrated”.

Also, “I never mocked him, I showed him groveling BY mocking his handicap.” Just don’t make fun of people and people won’t assume you’re making fun of people.

This is literally every day, folks. The world won’t make it 4 years simply out of people being tired of pointing out the problems every single day.

<strong>STAR WARS: REBELS</strong> (animated tv series) - a general discussion thread
Time

SPOILERS FOR THESE EPISODES OF REBELS AND R1:

Those episodes didn’t end nearly as badly for Saw as I expected, and didn’t show Saw to be as bad a guy as I hoped. At this point he was already extreme enough to abandon Jyn, but not extreme enough to be sent to Geonosis by Rebel leadership. Now if they were doing this rescue mission outside of orders, like Saw had gone on his own and reached out to Rex for help because no one else would answer, maybe that would be a little more understandable. Also, this is the mission that ruins Saw’s lungs requiring his need for his oxygen tank, but he doesn’t seem to spend that much time down there, especially since Click-Clack seems alright and it was designed to hill it. I expected one of the canisters to leak on him or something. However, it’s entirely possible that the reason we don’t see Ezra, Kanan, or Rex in R1 is because they all died of Geonosian insecticide. 😉

Saw has a really rough two years leading into R1, losing his legs, going completely mental…

The shot of Jyn in front of the lights was pretty obviously a glamour shot.

Was it, though?

100% confirmed:

We finished a shot and [Felicity Jones] was just walking to the next shot, which was at the end of the tunnel. And as she walked, someone switched the lights on and the way they turned on they went clickclickclick like this. Someone called her, and she just turned around a little bit and I was like, “Oh my god that looked great.” And I was like “Stop stop stop!” and everyone stopped. “This will take 10 seconds, just roll camera”…Then obviously 10 seconds turned into a half hour, and we probably did 17 takes. So that ended and there’s that feeling of, “Well what was that for?” And I was like, “I don’t know, that just felt good.”
