Glad I could help! 

I was taking a stab at painting the pilot for the cosmo falcon and had to whip them out because I was starting to get cross eyed trying to paint the details.
Sorry, the colors aren't accurate at all and my first real try at painting a mini so it's not great lol.  

quit complaining, it looks FINE!

Abrams expected the next directors to answer his stupid mystery box. He's done the same thing with his shows. "Here's my idea, now you flesh it out." WTF arshole???? Why doesn't he follow it through? He wasn't even planning on coming back to Episode 9 until Episode 8 got flak.

I'm kinda agreeing with the talking head-&-torso video guy. Having Palpatine come back feels like a bad idea. But he came back as a clone in the EU. But he was a clone. I don't remember the story on that but the clone had to be taught that he was a evil prick. The Jedi learned to let go and die, but retain their consciousness. They became immortal. Being a clone means Palpatine couldn't retain his consciousness. But anyways, bringing back Palpatine now just ruins the last 2 movies. Snoak had no reason to be there then. And it cheapens his death in Episode 6.

JJ said there was always plan to bring him back but they couldn’t find a story to do it. BS. If Rian hadn’t killed off Snoak, Palpatine would stay dead. And so, here we are. While we’re at it, let’s bring back Yoda, Luke, and Obi-wan to make sure Palpatine stays dead this time. 

Did he get his effort's worth in merchandising (the main reason he jumped ship from Star Trek, once he realized Paramount lied to him)? 

and then you get this...

Doomcock is typically... unamused...

True about that character in general but the overall truth is canon when it comes to Kawamori works is not as straightforward as you'd think. The answer to which is true, TV or movie events is basically, yes. (this refers both to DYRL and movie versions of Frontier and Delta). 

More recently, and SK has said this also, it has been essentially decided both TV and movie versions are just different interpretations of the same "real" events we never actually saw. Thus differences are just artistic license and viewpoints. DYRL got the extra confusing bit of becoming an in universe movie (though there are hints that version itself might be different than what we saw) since SK did not decide on this overnight. 

So as far as it matters the DYRL song is canon, it happened, even though we don't see it in the show which is for all intents and purposes more accurate in historical depiction. The real history is somewhere in between. 

Sounds like a excuse for a soft or hard reboot... certainly would be a excuse to reprint old toys to support such an endeavor. I would be shocked if, when HG finally loses the license, TPTB declare a DYRL 2.0 coming to theaters near you...

What do millennials have to do with anything? Also, the first Rush Hour came out in 1998, so yeah, obviously we do. I had a two pack of the first two films on VHS. The third was entirely forgettable.

Lets see... Millennials are currently the demographic still in vogue, what Nielson ratings still care about, etc... when you say the words V-H-S, you already certify that you are a AARP card holder (and possibly qualify for Medicaid) as far demographics are concerned. anyway...

I suppose they are making this movie not because they Just want a paycheck but nostalgia? Remaking of decades old films is a thing...

Sure, throw us money, we'll take it.... Why? Does any millennial even know about RH1 & 2? I didn't even know they made a 3rd...

Seems the videos go poof.

Can't we just get a Netflix style reboot instead? 

w...hy? We're waiting on pins & needles just in hope that common sense rules and HG is shown the door in 2021... why would we ever want a reboot of something that arguably should have never been created?

So has there been an actual trailer, or non-fan made poster or anything at all worthy of the constant negativity?

You guys could literally darken the sun with your consistent dark cloud of doom you bring in here. You don't like The Force Awakens after you saw it, fine. You don't like The Last Jedi after you saw it, also fine.

But damn this movie has literally nothing but a few photos on set and yet you bring the same "I hate everything" into this thread. How about you go resurrect the respective threads for TFA and TLJ if you want to bitch about the Directors, Writers, Actors, Scripts and physics of a fictional work of art?

It's exhausting trying to find even a single positive, or constructive comment...

-b.

TFA wasn't bad. They killed off Han in a memorable way... But they could have done much better. What TLJ should have done was kill of Leia, forcing Luke into action. They didn't... it's very, very hard to find goodness in a room full of Chaotic Evil.

A lot of the salt in this thread fills me with life, but this...

...can kindly frakk off. How utterly childish.

is it childish? Seto, on the STD thread explained it CLEARLY why the latest Star Wars movies have had issues. It's completely retarded... utterly. I'm just being honest about it: The current production staff that green lighted TLJ are/were complete morons. You can disagree as is your prerogative, I don't care personally.

All we can hope is someone in the future (and deep pockets) redoing the movie ala 1990's reissue of the movie like it was done for IV, V & VI*... or Jar Jar hits IX out of the park...

*although, as I recall, they did the reissue to fund the prequals as well as proof-of-concept for the CGI they wanted to use. It seems flimsy a idea to reissue a movie because it by itself is flaming poo...

You know what would make this better, is if a capsule pod pops in at the last minute in the last episode and out comes the combined form or Kirk and Spock carrying a katana answering to Sporks.

I was totally Roflcoptering when I read this at work today...

Oh, undoubtedly.  Especially in the context of the movie.  I just want to believe it somehow has a place in the next movie, I guess.

Actually, I'm sort of not caring anymore.  I saw TLJ more than once and really tried to give it a chance each time and just came away so apathetic in the end.  I'm hoping my enthusiasm returns but it may just be that I'm no longer the target age group for these movies or those nostalgia glasses just totally ruined anything "new" from here on.

I don't hate these movies, but I don't really care about them that much either.

it's likely because r*tards now drive the Star Wars bus... and I agree. there's nothing to care about, anymore.

OMG... Thank you.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5T0tXJN5CrMZUEJuz4oovw/community?lb=UgzEUXIz_vIFkjmPwTx4AaABCQ this might be slightly off course for this thread but Nerdrotic has done several videos discussing STD as well as the lawsuit over STD's use of the tartagrade. is someone tying to silence him about that lawsuit?

I thank you. I had completely forgotten about that wonderfully evil web comic, Ensign Sue must die...

Doomcock roasts 'em again...

anyone know why 2202 isn't apparently on CR anymore?

misdirection sounds like something Comstar would do, in it's early TRO's. Perhaps the way they worded was intentionally vague?

so I guess the Aquarians are the Protoculture* race of Yamato (21/22) timeline then. I know someone discussed the origins of the Galatians (and I consider them the Zentradi of Y22) but I suppose if they decide to create a 3rd series, would it be the Aquarians as the protagonists?

* I suppose this a tropes question but is concept of a Older race creating/seeding younger races a common theme in SCI-FI? I know the idea sorta comes from Star Trek TNG (if not TOS)...

I thought it (the CH skit) was gonna be a porno (with her man spread and boobs thrusting over the ropes & all...)

Thank You, Seto. Now I distrust modern business even more, knowing how they avoid responsibility(s)...

I know a lot of people who won’t watch an anime unless it’s dubbed because it’s to difficult to read the subtitles and watch what’s on screen and process the story. 

Not everyone is capable of multi-tasking...

Seto: That advert IS a lie. What I find offensive is that they have to redub the whole effort. What is the official reason why?

someone posted some shacky cam photage… wtf is the Galantis base?

it depends on Disney, really. 21st Century Fox no longer exists... does it?
