    People waiting for the next panel

    I don't think I've gone through the campaign since BO1. That is most definitely not where the value lies. If you aren't playing the multiplayer you aren't getting your money's worth. At all.

    The R2 info is from JJ, and I also believe it's in the book. I chalk up its vagueness to Kasdan, who was pushing JJ pretty hard to quicken the pace of the film and to trust the audience to fill in the blanks. It's why it's never made clear in the film what the relationship between the Resistance, the Republic, and the First Order is. Scenes detailing that information were filmed, but later cut, and we were all left confused until info from the book started getting around.

    I'm not sure how you see Luke's reveal at the end as being shoehorned in. The entire plot is about finding him. The R2 awakening isn't convenient; even in low-power mode, he's alerted to the presence of the map when BB-8 first goes to him, and begins to search through his data banks for the rest of the map. However, I would say that this is not made very clear in the film, and they should have shown some twinkling of life within R2 after BB-8 first interacts with him. As for Starkiller Base, I'm not sure why so many people focus on it. This isn't the original Star Wars; the base is a subplot at best and doesn't drive the main narrative. Even the Resistance sees it as just another battle station to be taken out. It's simply a large piece of military hardware.

    We don't know it's the opposite of the books, War. Rickon is said to be on Skagos, and the Skagosi have no love for the Starks (or anyone else from the mainland, for that matter). Chances are at some point Rickon's fortunes end with him in a similar position. The same goes for the Martell's. Keep in mind that they're essentially trying to squeeze upwards of 2300 pages into season 6. And I think those of us who are book readers can agree that while their execution has not been flawless, GRRM's narrative was in need of some serious trimming.

    I see what you did there

    It looks like it may say Otaku Con. Or perhaps Otakon

    Does anyone here not know how Star Wars ends? Or that Vader is Luke's father? Are those films no longer good? Have you not watched them since they originally were in theaters? Hell, any film based upon historical events already has a pre-determined outcome. The same can be said for films based upon established fiction.

    Wow

    Well, half of House Umber does side with the Boltons in the books. Things are kind of a mess in Last Hearth with the Greatjon being held captive in the Riverlands. The explanation in the show is just lacking, and boils down to "I like killing Wildlings."

    Kind of an underwhelming episode. Felt like it was just kicking the can down the road. Tower of Joy fight was great, but the tease was frustrating. Edit: to paraphrase someone on Twitter: wtf is going on with the Umbers?
  13. Duke Togo
    Uh, yeah, that's not why people complain about the prequels. It's because they suck.

    He was quite good in "Hail, Caesar!"

    They can "shoot around" his height. I doubt we'll even notice. Besides, the new co-Chewie is 4 inches shorter than Peter Mayhew.

    Multiple outlets are reporting that Alden Ehrenreich has been cast as Han Solo.

    No, but I've played every Call of Duty since Modern Warfare. The hit detection issues in AW and BO3 were real.

    Boots on the ground is fun and reliable and less prone falling victim to janky mechanics and netcode. Also, if I wanted to play Halo/Destiny/whatever, I would be.

    They want us to pay $80 for the game we don't want (Infinite War) just so we get the game we do want (Modern Warfare Remasterd)? No, screw these people. They've milked this franchise to death, they make promises and break them, and they abuse their fanbase. I'm done with this nonsense. Plenty of other multiplayer games out there.

    So, a movie with all men in it is ok, but a movie with all women is not? "Conservative" is not the word I would use to describe that stance.
  21. Duke Togo
    Ah, so you're one of those people.

    I have zero interest in plot leaks.

    Confirmed from Daisy Ridley's Instagram, that video of her is not for anything in the movie. She's been nagging her sword trainer to teach some wushu moves, and that's a video is just a little bit of some of what he's shown her.

    I wasn't expecting Roose to die this past weekend. I also thought the first try at resurrecting Jon wouldn't work. Not sure if we talked about it on here or not (I guess I could have looked), but I had started to buy into the idea that Mel would fail at bringing him back, and when they went to burn his body he'd rise out of the flames. And Tyrion with the dragons was just a flat out great scene.

    Also, it's important to keep in mind that while Jon is still dead at this point in the books, there are actually two previous instances of resurrection in the books, as opposed to the show's one. What we know from this is that in both instances the people brought back are changed to varying degrees (Beric more so because he's been brought back six times). Jon will also have to pay this price, but the question is how different will he be? I think what we'll see from the resurrected Jon will be a reflection of what Maester Aemon said to him: "Kill the boy, and let the man be born."
