Looks like a sneak peek for Hasegawa’s next subject has snuck out.

 

Oh please, let it be so!

Skeleton Crew is definitely made for the kids! But whether that is in age or just young at heart is subjective to the viewer. I fall hard into the latter category though.

LOL, the same can be said about the last Superman, Henry Cavill, who is also a supernerd and Warhammer 40K.

Who left Superman for Witcher, tried to get back to Superman and was kicked off to Warhammer 40k. On the bright side for Cavill, he was getting too old for Supes, he was unhappy on Witcher and Warhammer is waiting with open arms. Hollywood maybe a Pinball Machine, but all that matters is where you land.

She was at best an empty character and at worst was the kind of person that would take advantage of someone at their emotionally weakest moment by getting them drunk. But really, the reason to celebrate her death was that it symbolized that Jedi weren’t gonna just get lightsabered and survive anymore and that’s a very important thing for Starwars to be somewhat taken seriously. Her death was necessary and has brought one of the few moments of joy to anyone that suffered through that horrible show 

I'd counter and say she was mostly a blank slate with potential to have been a great Jedi - if she had not been led by incompetent fools. As for 'lightsabered' i.e. dead, pretty much all of the central Jedi in this series were killed off. Which happened before (a lot!) in spectacular fashion in the prequel trilogy, so we've seen that the Jedi were not covered with plot armor.

This picture has me laughing since I always focus on the an action in the foreground. But I never really noticed that while Kakizaki is getting the kaki beat out of him that Max and Hikaru are dancing in the background 

That would explain how Breetai got past them!

Have to say I don't understand the harsh feelings about Jekki. but that's okay. She was more Jedi than all the other Jedi there.

JEKKII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty good force-perspective work.

Some folks want to be thorough and not base their whole review just on a first impression.  I can respect that.

It's similar to how I tend to refuse to drop a show partway even if I don't like it because it doesn't feel fair to criticize the work as a whole based on just part of it.

I get that, but if I don't like something, I don't finish it and then watch it again, and still complain that it's not good. As far as I'm concerned, it someone didn't like it the first time but went through it again, they secretly did like it, but don't want to admit it to themselves.😉

I like one of the reviewers saying it was 'so god-awefully terrible,' but they watched it twice anyway... C'mon!

Both are perfectly fine for me, but I do prefer 'newer' theme for this teaser. Now, if they use the OG theme in the full trailer...

I think Hoult can be a pretty good Luthor. He's a good actor.

As for the hair, it's part of the disguise. C'mon, someone is going to be thinking, 'look how 'poofy' it is,' rather than thinking, 'hey, if he just removed the glasses...'

Cautiously optimistic.

Same here. I don't know how I feel about the actor at the moment, but Gunn hasn't let me down yet.

Looks cool! Of course, now we need a movie where Chucky inhabits this toy Terminator. Also, who would win, the Terminator or the Hulk Buster in the background?

He comes out of nowhere, quite possibly literally, to become the big bad because the studio didn't want to have Kylo Ren be irredeemable.

And that's the big problem. There was no set up for it. The entire movie where there should have been foreshadowing for this was TLJ, but our time got wasted at a casino. Literally!

Maybe it'll do better there.

Wait, the Karate Kid is Asian now?!

Yep.....and the next big event in this part of the "Skywalker Saga" is the return of Palpatine.....somehow

I don’t really know why they were surprised he returned in the new trilogy. This basically was the guy that built an entire clone army in the prequels. Another guy from the prequels got chopped in half and fell down a bottomless pit. This kinda thing should seem pretty unsurprising 

If they had built up to it, then it would have really paid off. Instead, having Palpy back (instroduced in the crawl no less!) just came off as a Hail Mary play to try and salvge the story that Rhian unceremonially dumped onto a Dabo Table.

@sketchley Very nice with popping the deets! Looks twice as big.

@Urashiman Those seams line on the canopy bug the heck out of me! Nice work getting rid of it.

Just because it may take no part in the overall Skywalker Saga doesn't mean it would be a 'nothing burger.' Might be a whole Double Quarter Pounder and two Large Fries with a side of Coke - just at the burger joint on the other side of town. There are many stories that can take place in the Star Wars universe that could be a complete arc and never even touch upon the Sacred Trilogy. Ennealogy..?"

Just such a classic movie! Thank you Mr Reeve!

I loved when SE33 was facing off against Lod. He does act all 'the pirate' but when he get's his back up, he's a towering metal intimidator! Then he came back in just to deliver that last 'arh.' LOL!

UPDATE: no ink for decals, no usable decal paper and such, I finally got sick of it and just printed decals for the Callisto on printer paper and glued it on.

(rest of the model is half paper anyways).

No class name as of yet; with that though, I'm calling this one done-

Dorsal and Ventral views:

 

Primary Hull Registry:

 

Warp Nacelle Pennant and Registry:

 

Impulse Engines and Stellar Observatory/ Cartography Dome:

 

Navigational deflector:

 

Secondary Hull rear sensor suite:

 

Bussards in daylight:

 

Stand for the model (no blueprints this time):

See everyone next project!

@pengbuzz That is a great looking model! If they made that in kit-form, I'd buy one!

I don’t know, the new new Rebuplic destroyed just about all the ships of the new order and it seemed like most of theirs were trashed in the process. They kinda had to rely on others to help them out. It seems like independent governments will do better than the united one that seems on the edge of collapse 

A lot of little eggs (governments) rather than one big egg.
