    Just as long as she has a red arm...

    He moved away from the industry after the death of his wife in 91, in order to better care for their kids. The last time I heard anything about him was in 2020 when he was assaulted while walking down a street in Manhattan.

    The obsession to remember would be torture, leading to eventual insanity.

    He's almost 100, we jut have to let him know he has nothing to lose by going all-out! He needs to be possessed by his 60 year old self.

    I am one of the ones who liked WW84 just as much as the first one. The only flaw in it for me was having Steve take over someone else's body for some reason.

    Good and bitter news! Will be sad to see it end.

    Dang, I liked Gadot in the roll. Oh well, change and reboots come ever faster and faster in the movie biz.

    Dept Q. on Netflix. Starring Matthew Goode, last seen (by me) in Abigail and A Discovery of Witches. A gruff, hard bitten English inspector in Scotland given charge of a new cold case department. Quirky characters and never-do-wells abound!

    @woodsider Have fun at the show and great looking battroid!

    So far, the only series I did not like was Acolyte with Boba as a close second. I really found myself enjoying Mando, Ahsoka, Skelton Crew and Obi-Wan, in that order. Ahsoka left off at a good cliffhanger an I have good hopes that they'll stick season two as well.

    A little of George Reeves in the face there.

    That's why I wrote a bit of of Andor'esq spice. Mix it up a little but it doesn't need to be a carbon-copy. And making TFA a soft reboot could have worked, if TLJ had been good. But a major problem in the sequel trilogy is that there was no plan. No over-arching plot to connect the three movies with following directors allowed to do their own thing, re Johnson and the Great Chase with a side-hussle to a casino. That's why so much was jammed into TRoS. From what was seen in Ep9, The Last Jedi (Ep8) should have been about the New Republic struggling to overcome the initial attack with Rey and the others chasing down a mysterious threat that could deal the death blow to the headless NR. That mysterious threat being the return of Palpatine, which would then lead into a lighter storyline, not so weighed down with too many plot threads. And it should have been named Rise of Palpatine, with the dual meaning pertaining to Palpatine himself and his granddaughter, Rey. Also, Luke should not have died but stayed as Master to Rey, and Kylo should have stayed evil right to the end and they should have ditched the idiocy of the Knights of Ren (whomever that is) and they should have stayed with the Sith, and Kylo should have been Darth Caedus. And if they are smart, the next movie with Rey should have nothing to do with the Sith or an Imperial Remnant. They should get the Vong front and center.

    Which is a similar problem with the sequel trilogy. Such great actors reduced to wooden performances and simplistic dialogue. "I hate sand." "Somehow Palpatine returned." I'd say though, that the 'simplicity' of the fairy tale could do well with a bit of Andor'esq spice, especially considering the general love Andor is receiving. Considering ANH as a beginning, then showing such an emotional growth and complexity in later movies/shows would be a good thing. TFA didn't do that. It rebooted the story from the 'beginning' rather than really continuing anything. If the next two had grown from it with a concise and planned storyline rather than the willy-nilly-sillyness that JJ/Kennedy went for, the discussions would be entirely different. Such as now, we're expecting them to to just reboot Luke's story post RoTJ, only with Rey now. That's why I'm a proponent of just refilming 7 thru 9 entirely, even knowing that is an impossibility. If I had my druthers, they'd recast Luke, Leia and Han and start filming the EU, even though that mess also has its faults. With neither of that happening, the next trilogy centering on Rey needs to shift entirely from what came before, and following the more dramatic and well-paced vein of Andor is by far the better option. As to newer stories, I really hope the series focusing on the High Republic era, something far too early to be connected, does really well. And that they finally learn from last few shows, the good and the bad.

    Yeah, the writing could have been far better but I'm still up for seeing her in more SW movies. Get a better story arc and better writers (psst, Andor has some) and she'd be great.
  16. Thom
    I think they started undoing the 'happy ending' with the EU books.
  17. Thom
    That is really good! Really evokes the emotions of the scene.

    I'm ready for DS V-III to be the size of a solar system, with every planet holed through and fitted with focusing crystals. Once they all align, the Nu New Newest Newer Republic better watch out!

    Micro Galaxy's Kylo Ren TIE silencer. Cool looking little rig. Good detail for a toy, barring the flip-up canopy with Tiny Kylo and the screws on the bottom. The rear deck even pops off to show the engine details. Neat. No stand or gear to sit on so I'll have to fudge something for that. All in all, since I doubt a kit will be coming, this is a good buy!

    Five years after Ep 9. I wonder what the Far Away Galaxy has been up to since then...
  21. Thom
    Does he have to be white to be White..?

    Oh my, now that is niiiiice!!

    Your wife is a TREASURE,@pengbuzz! She treats you well, so you must be treating her well, and that is wonderful. And hey, if it's missing parts, you still have the other to pick through. Thom
  24. Thom
    Man, that is terrible! WTF is going on?! I will never understand being so angry about someone hardly being any different to go to such extremes. It's monstrous and hope he spends the rest of his life in jail.
