The “$1000 challenge” is going amazingly well. We are now just over £300 until that total is reached. 😃

Come on guys, I bet if it was a Twilight Fan edit I’d already be out 1,000 bucks.

Damn. That must be one bad love story if the PT beats it.

At least with AOTC, the actors knew why their characters would fall in love with each other.

Ha no. Natalie had no reason to even like Anni. Nor did anyone else.

I rest my case.

? I don’t follow.

The state of Crotch Rockets
Time

I worked at Hot Topic from 2003-2004 while being an assistant manager at KB Toys (best job ever. It was like living Clerks.) in the same mall. I got to blast Misfits, The Smiths, Pixies and Ramones while at work and the rest of the crew loved the music I picked. People constantly face planted on the large windows at the front when trying to enter. I wore home t-shirts I put on to “help sell em!” without paying at least twice a week. Good times.

Did you notice that each major character got the death they deserved?

This is to all the people who say R1 is just nostalgia-exploitation and “ayteeaytees”.

To me they were stock archetypes who weren’t developed and then just got killed off to avoid sequel inconsistencies.

There wouldn’t be any inconsistencies even if they didn’t die.

there’s no real point distinguishing between iTunes and CD because they’re both digital and the quality difference is minute.

That’s not true. Just because it’s digital doesn’t mean it’s of the same quality at all.
Does iTunes still keep it’s MP3s around 120kbps?
And, if so, why does anybody still buy from iTunes?

no where in there do I see or feel anything about growing past the need for his lightsaber and I can’t make any sense of that in context to the scene. It’s not like he thinks upon defeating Vader that he’s ascended to a higher level and could fight the Emp without his saber

He realizes that fighting isn’t the way. If it costs him his life, so be it, but he’s trusting the Force now and not himself. That’s the “leveling up”.
Like many elements of ROTJ, it’s murky and not perfect and not everyone will agree, but that’s my take:
He either tosses it because he’s just ‘moved past it’ so to speak, or he’s just being stupid. 😉

JEDIT- Also, isn’t it maybe more interesting to leave it a bit ambiguous by not seeing the saber on his belt at the end? I dunno.
It’ll be interesting to see if he has it in the ST.

To me, he was saying “I don’t need this anymore.” He’s grown past it.
"You’re weapons, you will not need them."
Otherwise he just threw it to look cool. And that’s silly.

It’s not the biggest deal, and certainly a minor thing in the list of fixes Jedi needs.
Also, this is a fairly simple thing to fix, so if I’m alone on this I can do it for myself I suppose.

It’s why stuff like Spongebob has parodied James Bond and Psycho and other classics that the children watching definitely won’t understand.

I’d say it’s done so that the parents watching have something to laugh at too and can then (at some point) show their children these things that now tie into the shows the kid likes.
It’s quite a handy thing.

Last Album Listened To
Time

Just picked up the 2016 remaster of the Ramones first album, RAMONES and the 2017 remaster of their second album LEAVE HOME. Both are fantastic. My go to copies now for sure.
I have about 10 artists that I call my #1’s. But when the early music of the Ramones is loud in the air, it’s impossible for me to say they’re not my absolute favorite band.
