nah , I am feeling more chaotic neutral today , roll 7
how can science and fantasy be compatible though ? one is real and demands demonstrable and empirical evidence and the other is pure fiction .
the title of this edit is bizarre , but interesting .

the blu ray of this movie seems to have flown off the shelves at my local Walmart , they were completely sold out when I went there today and only had a few dvd copies left

I am holding out for a book about a character called Darth Badguy
yes, Duracell, the butthurt is strong with them and I suspect that their loss may be my gain as I picked up about 20 of those books from the 90s in first printings without the legends banner from my local library booksale for .75 cents each .Some of them were good and some of them , well, page turners they were not . Crystal Star being an example , though that one is not in my lot .Would be good to line a bird cage with though .
^ I agree and I don’t really understand it because the books are still on the shelves in most bookstores , it’s not like they don’t exist anymore . I think the ideal situation would be for Disney to put out direct to video /streaming animated adaptations ala the DC animated universe of that material . And being a fan of the original Marvel Star wars comic , I remember a time in the early 90s when those stories were considered an alternate universe . Did not bother me all that much , I just found ways to fit them into my personal head canon . Then of course , they decided those stories had some merit after all and incorporated them into later novels . But the new movies would have had to incorporate hundreds of stories if they had continued the books in the films and the general public would have no idea what the hell was happening .
^looks awesome ! Those are some amazing Iceland landscapes , thank you for sharing

I just remembered that Irvin Kershner called Star Wars a fairy tale while directing The Empire Strikes Back .It is in the Michael Parbot documentary and I think it is a very apt description . Also looking at the titles of the tracks on the OST album such as …The little people work , rescue of the princess,etc .
Threepio is Snoke confirmed. 😛

I can’t recall ever seeing a Burger Chef restaurant back then. My family moved around the country several times over the years in the 70’s.
It’s possible they were operating in regions where there wasn’t a Burger King, and hence could offer the same Coca Cola movie tie-in promotions.
When I lived in New Jersey back in the late 70’s there were no Kentucky Fried Chicken locations to be found. But there was a burger chain called Gino’s that offered KFC food in addition to their own menu. That massively confused me as a kid. 😉

Thank you for the response and info …very interesting
Yeah, seriously. It starts with a reworded version of “Once upon a time;” an evil wizard-knight who’s also a Lord kidnaps a princess while the princess tries to contact a good wizard-knight to help fight evil; the good wizard takes a lowly farmboy yearning for adventure under his wing and starts training him to be a knight; the pair recruit a rogue and his beastly sidekick to help them on their journey; the group infiltrates the evil castle to rescue the princess; the wizard-knights duel with swords…
…yep, no fantasy whatsoever in there.
^ and this
(and Star Wars has no aspects or tropes of fantasy)
Blatantly untrue.
