  1. I will still never understand the rationale behind removing those scenes.
  2. I think people forget that by the time of the Dominion War, Mirandas, Excelsiors and their offshots were already pushing 100 years old and you can only push refits so far before you run up to the limitations of the original design. These designs were based around environments in the Alpha & Beta quadrants and threats like Klingons & Romulans. And by the end of the 24th century, the Federation had already grown beyond those threats.
  3. I suspect episode 1 & 2 were originally storied to be one episode before scripting. Basically a 1-hour pilot episode. Ep 1: 39 min Ep 2: 31 min Ep 3: 37 min
  4. Don't know what the FTC's smack on Youtube has to do with it (FTC fined Google for the whole child porn on Youtube-incident, therefore, Google altered the TOS). Youtube is just changing their TOS...again. Youtube's language is vague so creators are getting nervous again, just like when the Ad-poclypse happened.
  5. It's likely the same species as Yoda & Yaddle. The production crew, unfortunately, gave it the nickname, "Baby Yoda". Fer shizzle. You could almost see "WASTED" plastered on-screen when he goes down.
  6. Yes it's hearsay so it's best to take it with a bottle of salt. I will say they are hell-bent on making Rey a Disney princess or whatever. And considering they are bringing Palps back, that completely negates Anakin's role and everything that stemmed from that (Luke, Leia, hell all of RotJ).
  7. That's a double-edge sword. You can only string your audience for so long before they decide not to take the bait.
  8. One thing I'm not terribly fond of is how Jedi Fallen Order feels like Uncharted with a lightsaber.
  9. Death Stranding feels like a grinding game from the videos I've seen. Lots of walking through the wilderness, spending time alone with your thoughts and killing tar ghosts. Fallout-esk. Jedi Fallen Order looks like I might enjoy that one. Though of the walkthroughs I've watched, saber combat seems like it needs refinement (or the players posting these walkthroughs really suck). Feels like the saber combat from Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight. Coming from Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy, that feels like a step back. And this whole cannot-dismember-people-vs-creatures is garbage. Someone needs to make a mod to allow people dismemberment. And from the gameplay I've watched, I actually want to play Modern Warfare.
  10. I’d call it a copyright violation. I’ll be here all week folks.
  11. I think Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau (mostly...,ok 99%, Filoni) probably gets Star Wars the most. But that's in part because Filoni worked on Clone Wars and Rebels and is a hold over from pre-Disney LucasFilm. This show gives me the same "Ok this feels like Star Wars"-vibe that Rogue One gave me (and that's due to Jon Knoll being another pre-Disney Lucasfilm minion). Maybe it's me but maybe Disney should pull from the pre-Disney Lucasfilm/LucasArts talent pool for Star Wars than the talent they have running it now. As for this episode...it's a pilot episode. Enough to get me interested, but now they gotta sustain that.
  12. It does more to him than it ever will to HG. The incident in question happened well after he worked on RT. Unless this happened while he worked on RT or stemmed from his work then, sure, you could draw a line from that point, but this happened later. And it just cements this guy is a creep and shouldn't work in this field anymore.
  13. Yeah, this has little to do with HG and more with a sexual harassment lawsuit. Meh.
  14. The Gagarin-class looks OK. But it shares a design lineage to the Shepard-class so I'll let that go. The Chimera-class just looks fugly.
  15. At 52 days, there is no more filming unless they magically can get all the actors together. At this point, they should really be finishing up VFX shots and finalizing everything. And yes I have seen the plot leaks on Reddit.
  16. ‘Star Wars’: ‘Game of Thrones’ Creators No Longer Attached to Oversee Trilogy Should probably thank Netflix for this. Apparently they are so tied up with Netflix projects, their status changed from Away to Not Available. Meh.
