    Please, don't let Leslye Headland write any more for this show, or direct for that matter. This was definitely a better episode for that. It was nice to see what at least part of the back story is, and I'm sure we'll start to see the other side of what happened in the following episodes. Anyway, better episode this time. EDIT - checking the Wiki page, Headland is not shown in the writer/director's chair for the remainder of the episodes, so yay right there.

    Pretty meh about this. Underwhelmed for the most part. I won't quibble and say I was not watching for CAM (Carrie-Ann Moss) but I was... ...and then she was gone in under ten minutes... What an all-out waste of an actress! The one playing the green Jedi Masters should have been there and CAM should have had her role. And then there are the easy-out McGuffins. For me, this show (so far) ranks way bellow the Boba and Obi-Wan series. It has some great sets and costumes, great FX and such, but it needs better writers and directors - and to stop allowing obvious short-cuts to just to push the scenes. Was really hoping for more.

    @pengbuzz So that's what happened to Conan!? Some very good mods to that figure, Peng

    Unfortunately, that looked like it was just a running series of gag jokes. Does not make me want to watch it...

    The astronaut who took the iconic Earthrise picture passed away in a plane crash off the San Juan islands. https://apnews.com/article/plane-crash-san-juan-islands-washington-6d3800130ef4e67d761f96b328f7c263 Fair winds, bright stars and God's speed, good sir!

    I do hope we see more of Wolverine's mask in the movie than on the posters.

    Sweet collection of models!

    Finally watched the first season of 3 Body Problem, and it was pretty good. Very well done characters and scenes, including some really heartbreaking ones, and a compelling story. My only problem is I think they made the aliens too advanced... Maybe there'll be an explanation for it? Still, I liked it a lot and look forward to next season.

    Nice homage! Definitely keeps its lineage, but with bells and whistles!
  12. Thom
    Agree in the hinges. Take another Bravo!

    Someone got really imaginative with the TOS shuttle model! Awesome stuff!
  14. Thom
    That's really cool/cute!

    Wow, @SteveTheFish nicely done! Those eyes are great!

    Darn, I was hoping this was a sequel to the Vikander movie.
  17. Thom
    Ha! I was looking for the one with Kylo!
  18. Thom
    That.. works! Unify the paint scheme and it would look even better. And a nice up-armored VF-O!

    Is it me, or do most of his characters all have long hair and beards..?

    Thom replied to seti88's topic in Model kits

    I would like to see that one too. Though, if you have Luca's RVF-25 then you can kitbash.
  21. Thom
    About what I'd be able to do too! It's a good felling having a model getting finished.
  22. Thom
    I'm in! Fun and adventure, what more do you need!?

    I like her. Rogue One is definitely not a kid's movie! A similar approach could be said to have been done with the Harry Potter movies, as the first one is more for kids, and in that way serves as a good intro before they start getting old. I've only seen the Phantom Menace twice (if that) and it keeps getting worse every time I see it! Those are more of what you'd put on the back of a toy box. Hopefully, they'll have far more depth than that! Though that does remind me of Rebel Moon II and how the backstory of all the heroes is pretty much the same. Great Granddaddy Han is sure to make an appearance!

    There were apparently Jedi temples all over the place, according to EU, comics and books, and the follow-up trilogy with Luke having retreated to the very first Jedi Temple. Sure they would, I'm just saying they probably shouldn't have depicted it, for stated reasons above. As to the Phantom Menace, I think they should have gone with an older Anakin (and not just because for the whole May/December thing with Padme.) They should have had Qui-Gon meet an older, more rebellious Anakin who was already pushing at the extremes of his power, but the Phantom Menace is basically a kid's movie, so... I would assume that Leia's influence, powered a lot by her death, was momentary. And that influence, I think, was just the awareness of his mother dying. Recall, he had the chance to do it himself and even urged Rey to 'kill' her past, but he couldn't do it himself. I would have to suppose that he was recalling killing Han and realized, after the fact, that patricide really isn't all it is cracked up to be. I'll have to find the hand book. It's in the Dark Side of the closet.

    Oh, undoubtedly. Mocking, sarcastic and derisive, but it was there. And let's not forget, the Jedi had 'temples' all over the galaxy, which also tends to the view of a religion. I don't disagree that they would have looked for, and found ways, to measure and catalogue the Force, I just think that the decision to make that something they could do was a mistake. The Force was far better as a mystical mystery. Again, just IMO. I denounce midichlorins! Yes, Ben did die as well, but he was able to make more choices and perform more chosen tasks than Vader had been able to after he killed the Emperor. Truly, all Ben had to do was stand back and let Palpatine kill Rey. He made the choice however to fight with her, and even as she had died while using all of her life force to attack Palpy, Ben still chose self sacrifice in order to bring her back. If he had still been bad/evil, all he had to do was look into her dying eyes and 'thank you,' then walk away as the most powerful player left standing. To me, that signified a significant break from the Dark Side.* *A caveat being, of course, was Ben really a Sith, or just a fan-boi Ren? And what the heck is a Ren? Yet another thing to not like about the recent trilogy, the move away from historical nomenclature, such as Sith. They kept Jedi after all!
