And why didn’t the one chick that Leia was having a lesbian relationship with tell Poe about their plan to evacuate everyone off of the ship? If they did that then Poe wouldn’t have sent Finn and fat asian chick to get captured and have their plan discovered.

‘and fat Asian chick’ has a name - if you can’t be bothered to learn what it is - then it could likely give the impression you didn’t think too much about your post there. Think twice about using that as a description for another person on this site too.

Same for the ‘one chick that Leia was having a lesbian relationship with’.

I’ve been way to hard of Jedi lately. It’s a solid movie. I do still think it’s a big disappointment, but I was watching it earlier and the nostalgia came back and there’s some great stuff in it.

I think it has many flaws - but is still a cool film and enjoyable to watch. Plus…

…NeverarGreat summed it well when he said ‘That moment you realize that the worst OT film has more awesome stuff in it than most other film franchises’.

😃

A nod from Rogue One (30 odd years later - yet still…)

Poor little Frink who feels insecure now 😦 Don’t worry people, he’s going to act as he always does 😄

Really?

Knock it off.

I don’t even care…it’s more that it doesn’t even make sense.

I do care (not about you, so much 😉)

I found this quite an informative review - didn’t agree with all of it (why would I? It’s someone else’s thoughts) - yet the overall gist in there - I do, and some intriguing perspective too:-

‘The Last Jedi’ Doesn’t Care What You Think About ‘Star Wars’ – And That’s Why It’s Great’…

http://www.slashfilm.com/the-last-jedi-defense/ (there is a 2nd page also)

Fair warning there’s some nasty advertising on that page that pops up a lot of crap on my mobile.

Doh! Apologies for that mate - I often forget the pc adblocker filters out this stuff very well.

Also, I didn’t realise Haseo was banned. How come that happened?

He posted a picture which broke the forum rules being a slur on race, ethnicity & religion - whilst also alluding to pedophilia and bestiality too.

In Haseo’s own words the picture was ‘…vile in nature…’.

Horrible though - are the gold dice being set up to connect the dots in the Solo movie…?

Possibly mate - though they have always been there (I never noticed until someone let me know the other week about them):-

Surprised no wise guys have said Gungans appear in the movie. They don’t.

THAT IS A SPOILER! Now I know Gungans don’t appear in the movie. Someone perm ban Silverwook.

^ Agreed. It is the only way…

😃

Edit - doh! Sorry Warbler, turns out there is a Gungan in TLJ, and it’s been known for a while:-

Fear not - it’s only a matter of time before Wook slips up again…

Here mate, in the ‘Star Wars Preservations and Other Fan Projects’ section of the site:-

vlc likely will not play the main feature.

Out of curiosity, what makes you say that? VLC should have absolutely no problem playing a high bitrate x264 file in an m2ts container, in general. If it’s a matter of the hardware not being good enough, I’m not sure that other software will solve the problem, but perhaps it will!

What Bluto said below (or now above 😉) - I also have some experience of vlc player refusing to play the njvc iso files too, whilst the Leawo software plays it well.

(and that’s not knocking the vlc player - which is a superb piece of free kit)

It’s a very different movie, which itself is a strength, the way each OT film felt unique. But it makes it harder to compare them.

This is partly what I like about TLJ - there is a lot to take in from it - yet it is different to what has come before (in my humble opinion) - and will likely require a few more viewings for me 😃

Collipso said:

I just joined too, and so far I’ve been very welcome. Here, from my understanding, you’re treated the way you treat people. Don’t be an asshole, or rude, or annoying to anyone and you’ll be fine.

A bit like real life, eh? 😃

There are many varied and differing opinions on here - some like the Prequels as much as the OT, others like the new films over ROTJ - some loathe R1 & TFA etc - whatever their preferences or viewpoints, they are all welcome.

Of course, members will likely be asked by others as to why they hold an opinion etc - and that’s where I think we can all learn a fair bit. We may still all disagree, but meh… who cares? Our liking, or love, for Star Wars is what brought us here - and our liking for Star Wars is hopefully greater than anything we don’t like about it.
 

and welcome to the site!

Mielr thanks for sharing your posts! It’s nice to see other people who hated this movie and think it sucks as much as me!

Wow, I just signed up on this forum to discuss how much I dislike the new Star Wars movie. But after seeing how new users are treated, I think I will pass. Sorry Jay but this place sucks.

Uh-huh. You just signed up to tell us how bad TLJ was. Right. Then saw how new members were treated. You will now give this place a pass. But you know who Jay is. Oh. And this place sucks. Okay…

Man, you’re insulting the members on here with this - of which you were one, once. Hiding like this does you on favours.

Grow up mate - do or aim for something constructive - get on with your life.

Ok, I’ve downloaded Star Wars 2.7 BD50 so far. I’ve checked the hashes and it’s all verified. I can’t burn the disc yet as I don’t yet have a burner, but I mounted it and opened it in VLC. Everything works except for the main feature which won’t play at all. Could it be a limitation of my laptop (which isn’t the greatest)? I haven’t yet tried it on my main rig yet as I’m still downloading the rest of the ISOs but I do it from work because I have a crazy data cap where I live. I’m going to try it out tonight, but wondering if this is a common issue? My laptop is a 64-bit Lenovo t420i Thinkpad with Windows 10 with 4GB RAM. Intel i3-2350M CPU at 2.3GHz. I’ve mounted the ISO from a 5TB external hard drive (but connected to USB2.0 not USB3.0 as my laptop doesn’t have USB3.0 ports).

vlc likely will not play the main feature.
 

It may be worth giving this a try - the Leawo Blu-ray Player…

It is free, easy to use and does it’s job very well - plus, it’s available for both mac and windows computers. It can be downloaded from:-

http://www.leawo.com/blu-ray-player/
http://www.leawo.org/blu-ray-player/
https://www.videohelp.com/software/Leawo-Blu-ray-Player
http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/leawo_blu_ray_player.html

and likely a fair few other places too. videohelp.com is a great resource - and may have other free alternative players too.

Good luck with it 😃
