    But they couldn't even take on the Rebels crew. One half trained Jedi and one with talent and no training. Granted that was the cartoon but even the one they killed was hardly much of a Jedi.

    Inquisitors - I see Vader sitting around in his castle and when one of them reports a Jedi (by dying) he comes out to their last position and hunts the Jedi down.

    The "Wash, Rinse, Repeat" montage just shows that Ben's cover identity has lasted a long time. It in no way explains how he is so badly out of practice. As for Luke, he would need to train him simply to teach Luke how to hide his ability. Though even that is a right mess between the original Star Wars (no signs of ability AT ALL till trained) and later shows making it apparent a person with Luke's potential is going to show obvious signs long before they turn 19.

    I was VERY surprised at how good the first movie was and this one looks like they did the right thing by time travelling them to the present. Getting P+ for a month for the Star Trek series binge anyway so will be watching this too.

    That brought up a thought. Would Roger be used for the Rabbit test if Jessica thought she was pregnant? It does take place in the late forties or early fifties...

    The reason it is divisive is due to the problem introduced when Lucas decided to make Darth Vader the father of Luke. That and making Leia his sister left a massive hole in the exposition and logic. The original movies, not focusing on it, managed to more or less steer clear of the potholes. Doing backstory leaves them no choice but to drive right over them. Personally I find the show decent, though the fight with Vader was pathetic - granted it is ten years since the last fight and Obi is not in the best practice but he can't have gotten THAT bad.

    Latest news is the Grogu, The Mandalorian, and Bobba Fett are coming to Star Wars Land. Good thing there though not confirmed for Florida, only for California so far. The Guardians coaster is a hit (not for me though) and the railroad and Tron are coming along nicely. Personally I hope the RR is back in November when I go back, Roller Coasters are not my thing but if they keep crowds flocking to them for a bit and take some of the crowds away from other rids that is good with me.

    Darn it! Where is that parody someone put together, taking all the footage of the cast (intently) watching the viewscreen with moans and groans from an adult movie playing...

    Here is the shot I'm speaking of. Even an 18" model would have to have been shot at a REALLY long distance to get it this small on screen.

    True, but the Enterprise in those flyby scenes is TINY. It takes up a very small portion of the screen. How far away does the camera have to be to make it that tiny? No apparent use of having used lense tricks (like they did on the Vaseline bridge shots)
  11. Dynaman
    Though the scene has problems none of them are due to the acting.
  12. Dynaman
    An eighteen inch model would still be HUGE unless the camera was really far away. I suppose they filmed things "sideways" (for the top down shots) to allow positioning the camera further away from the props but that would still be many feet.
  13. Dynaman
    The enterprise in those flyby shots was a tiny one. A few inches.
  14. Dynaman
    In any way that counts in regard to military discipline, no Top Gun was not realistic. Not even close. So no need to even speculate on "why" in regards to why Maverick is still around. More so for a guy who had never actually been in combat BEFORE the movie. (since actually having flown a combat mission cuts you "some" slack - but even there not a lot).
  15. Dynaman
    I think the look is fine for the most part. The problem is with the clothing and makeup work on the Inquisitors. THEY look fake. Of course that is a big problem when they are so prominent in the show. I found it decent and fun to watch, not really asking for more than that.
  16. Dynaman
    it still is - that model is only at the very end when the cloud is dispersed near Earth. It is not a retcon as such, they simply ran out of money (and time) to do the FX shots in the original release.
  17. Dynaman
    Oh no, that was confirmed by the Banana Splits slasher film a couple years back.
  18. Dynaman
    I didn't have high hopes for this but that trailer has me interested. If it is as good as it looks then Disney Plus has another winner (and they are already far above every other streaming service in terms of original content already).
  19. Dynaman
    Oh Bother...

    He was a Funny Guy! Way too young, Rest in Peace.

    I saw this on on very near opening day. Had the joy of waiting outside in the freezing or near freezing cold for at least 30 minutes. That opening bit with the Klingons was worth it! The rest of the movie not so much.
  22. Dynaman
    John Travolta is the one that got me - he has a platform so he can park his 727 at his house.
  23. Dynaman
    In The Andromeda Strain that blurry background worked (mainly due to the nature of the movie) but on the Enterprise bridge it was an atrocious idea. It looks like someone smeared Vaseline on the camera. ST2 only a few short years later managed to get it correct. Not to mention the TOS.
  24. Dynaman
    Did the fix up the really really really fuzzy bridge background problems. Camera focus is one thing but the extremely blurry background on many shots on the bridge (not too far in the background either) was really bad.
  25. Dynaman
    But Vger always won. Or do you mean "wins again"? (OK, everybody wins, cept the Klingons - and the poor saps on the listening post)
