Well I see like this. One can either use their force capacity to augment physical ability of body or use it to produce certain force powers (choke, lightning, telekinetic).
I couldn't care less if it is cold or not. Ice Hockey can be played anywhere. Besides Ice Hockey, there are only a few sports that interest me.
Still Winter Olympics are far better than Summer Olympics, in which I have zero interest (I don't think I watched even a single minute of it when they were held in London).

Chewie died in a book? So what? Should not matter one bit.
I've never liked the furry rebel scum anyway.

Duel of Fates slowed down sounds a bit like Tangerine Dream.
Quite nice. :)

Where? In this thread?
I love Winter Olympics mainly because of Ice Hockey tournament. It is my favourite sport. Especially loved these because our team was present and did amazingly well.
EDIT: Congrats to Canadian ladies for their gold medal btw.

The Force Unleashed. Palpatine and Vader shouldn't ever be defeated before ROTJ and the Empire shouldn't create the Rebellion.
Well The Force Unleashed is hands down the worst Star Wars thing I have seen so far.
Oh, come off it.
It's a fun game with a fun non-canonical story. It's well told and feels more like OT than PT, even if you have to dismiss it as canon.
Well it certainly wasn't fun for me and it felt more like PT to me. I mean you might enjoy it, but I can't stand something that is pissing on OT like that.

As to the scope, they are called the "wars" so I hardly think the word "incident" is fitting. As to what side or in what capacity the clones were involved was never implied.
It is not that Clone Wars were an incident... it just that some cloning incident gave the name to the war. Just because "Clone" is inside the name, it doesn't mean clones had to be combatants. It is like Banana Wars where USA most definitely did not fight against bananas.
Ryan McAvoy said:
expressing the opinion that Hayden was okay as Anakin
That was actually an understatement. Hayden was great as Anakin. He portrayed the character exactly the way it was written, i.e. extremely unlikable, annoying, whiny jerk. He even added a little bonus repulsiveness with his acting.

I hate to be that "negative" guy again... but there is a reason why these (imo bad) designs did not make it past the drawing board.

All i can say is it is the weakest of the 3 scripts on paper. Speaking of the original trilogy of course.
I have always thought the strongest script was Empire.
Empire script was definitely the best. The story offered the best potential and Kasdan wrote some amazing dialogue. But still SW and Jedi script were good too. The difference between the 3 films is that they spent 6 months on filming in Empire while in SW and Jedi only 3 months. I mean obviously this is a difference when it comes to acting. Arguably if you do so many re-takes, the actors could eventually probably figure out the scene themselves or improvise it.

I have no problem with eroticism of any kind in fiction. But it's totally out of place in a cartoon for children.
Now don't be ridiculous. The cartoon is based on and filled with violence scenes. And you complain about robot with breasts (not even naked ones)?
It funny how our society works. They let kids watch films where people are killing each other... but god forbid the kid will see some breasts.

Well, if it's any consolation to everyone who hates TFU, the guy who plays Starkiller dies in The Mist.
It is not actor's fault that they wrote such an abomination.

I think it looked pretty good. Really good to see OT stuff on the screen again. I cannot wait to see it replace all the PT junk we have in stores now.
The crap we are seeing now is definitely not "OT stuff". At least not in my book.
So far this looks far worse than TCW. Aladin, a bad copy of Kyle Katarn, another force user under Vader and Emperor (and alien on top of that), unappealing designs etc.

Obviously Filoni and co have a lot of love for the original trilogy.
Or lack of good creativity...
I mean it is fine to get some inspirations from the OT. But trying to replicate the concepts is kinda dumb.

this was the dumbest fucking scene of all time!
Doesn't come even close to this...
Admittedly, these series could be potentially great. They are not as polluted with the PT as CW series.
But from what we got so far, I hate the main villain because he is another force user and an alien on top of that. They always try to stick some secret apprentices (idiotic Starkiller etc.) and force user minions under Emperor and Vader. I just can't stand that. On other hand, I dislike seemingly the main hero (this Kanan) because it is obviously an awful copy of Katarn and I think he looks dumb too.
In an ideal world, two main villains would be a high-ranking imperial officer and his top operative (sort of an Imperial Agent from SWTOR type of right hand man/woman). While the main hero would be a young rebel with no force sensitivity. But that will never work because the kids want to see the kind of crap they are making now.

Yeah, you can tell an awful lot from just a couple of model sheets and a few fleeting seconds of animatics. ;)
There are things that requires only a glance to know you are not going to like them. I am sure you can think of several examples for yourself. If you can't think of any, please let know and I give will you one. :)

I'll reserve judgement until I actually see a completed episode or two.
Well I have seen enough. I already thought the "Inquisitor" was awful enough not to actually see these series... and now this.

Yet Imperials work with such trash all the time. ;)
Just because the "trash" is being exploited, it doesn't mean they are "one of them".
