    Now that WOULD explain quite a bit.
  2. Dynaman
    I'll just agree to disagree on all points.

    I'm just looking for an enjoyable couple hours in a movie theater. I also pretty much ignore RT till the movie is out for a day or two and it has thousands of data points to work with. I've said it before and I'll say it again - since the deaths of Siskell and Ebert I don't pay attention to critics any longer.

    Episode 7 had slightly modified X-Wings, Slightly modified Tie Fighters, Slightly Modified Star Destroyers, Slightly Modified Rebels, Slightly Modified Empire, Slightly modified Death Star. Only the first of the prequels had a really different look to it and Lucas changed that very quickly.
  5. Dynaman
    True - what is shown on screen is beyond even normal physics. Then again I forgot how fast the X-wings had to be travelling to GET to the Death Star from another moon. They were going mighty slow after that. Which leads back to Star Wars has funky physics (at best) and anything goes as long as it is internally(ish) consistant. > "A space wizard did it" is half of the actual plot of the films. I'd put it closer to 100% after the prequals.

    Ooops - forgot one thing. Not only is SW fantasy it wears it proudly. I just remembered Han, Leia, and Chewie going out into what they thought was vacuum with nothing but a face mask (and not a securely fastened one at that). Just nuts if they were in any universe even near like ours. The Black Hole did try to show gravity but messed it up royally. People were floating around with the engines firing at full power and Earnst Borgnine floating toward the top of the ship with the engines going full power gets funnier the more I see it. (Yeah, I brought The Black Hole into this...) EDIT - The other item I thought about is that SW has pretty good internal consistancy with it's physics. With a couple of major sticking points (hyperspace ramming for instance). So the Proton Torpedoes falling like there is Earth Gravity on the Death Star (which should be more like the moon's) is a natural outgrowth into those B wing things. I thought the first was WAY COOL (but I was 11) while the second was mind boggling dumb (but I was 50 something).

    Anything else is fantasy, not science fiction. Star Wars is Science Fantasy so it doesn't bother me. I freely admit to not reading the rest of your post since if I reject the very premise there is no point. I'll also jump off the merry go round here too.

    They way it shown happening on screen? NO it can not happen no matter how much thrust is coming out those engines. In space if you want to change direction you point you keester in the direction you want to go and then fire off the engines. Anything else is pure fantasy with no ifs ands or buts.

    The bombers were stupid - I'll give you that. But in a universe where fighters in space fly like they are in atmosphere - well they are not quite so stupid.

    Only enough to get it out of Earth's orbit. After that it is pure luck

    When I looked it up and found six entries I was shocked. Although a number of them were TV movies - which is just where it belongs. As for this movie, I had forgotten Vin Diesel was still making movies to be honest.

    Watching a car coming to a stop - an Ed Wood masterpiece! The CGI still looks bad, when actually animated it looks fine though.
  13. Dynaman
    3.0 I think. Didn't they already have a 2.0 that bombed?
  14. Dynaman
    It gave me the proper feels. Looking forward to it.
  15. Dynaman
    I wish them luck with that, it won't do a lick of good but I still wish them luck.
  16. Dynaman
    I guess my "it's just the reboot de-jour" wouldn't be a well received theory?
  17. Dynaman
    I'm fairly certain it was in the macross Facebook page

    Right this minute (8:30pm Florida time) Smugglers run has a 50 minute wait time and Slinky Dog has a 70 minute wait time. Wait time for the Cantina is not listed on my app - when I was there it did not look like it would be too long. For DW top tier rides that is reasonable.
  19. Dynaman
    Just got back from DW. Stopped in Star Wars Land and the theming is impressive. Even with tourists walking around it really feels like you are in the Star Wars universe (perhaps in the middle of a tour group but still). I did not try to ride the Falcon ride (went on Slinky Dog instead - highly recommended). I would not recommend going JUST to go to GE since even when the main ride is ready that is still only two rides in the entire land but it is worth a walk through.

    Klingons - no not that the Klingons destroyed the ship. The ship may not be around for the same reason the Klingons were changed from TOS to the movies, namely that the budget (and CGI) now allows the show to update the ship designs and not be forced to use old models for budgetary reasons.
  21. Dynaman
    Thanks for sharing that. I'll have to give it a watch. I've forgotten nearly all of it.
  22. Dynaman
    It's hard to keep track of them as they go by these days.
  23. Dynaman
    Yes BUT you have to sign up for the CBS All Access package within Amazon. So you pay either way.
  24. Dynaman
    Yes! I think all the seasons are available on Amazon Prime
  25. Dynaman
    Next season of The Expanse starts on December 13th. With Star Wars and Lost in Space also getting released December is looking like a great month for my SciFi fix! (even if Star Wars is only so so). Doe The Expanse have it's own thread? https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/the-expanse-nycc-2019
