    Just noticed today that the market has been absolutely flooded with Play Arts Kai knock offs. =/

    That was EU stuff. Gone.

    #3 last night in IMAX. The experience was trash. My local 15 second drive from my house Galaxy has a DFX ATMOS screen with luxury (recliner) seating. We were packed into the IMAX like sardines, it was hot, it sounded like crap, the 3D glasses physically hurt to wear and the food was a joke. That aside, it does look a lot like a gravestone that Luke is standing next to. There's also a ton said without words in that scene. The subtle emotion they both put forth is awesome. She's like "hey bro, you lost this but now it's time to train me with it" and he's like "dang, where'd you get that? I'm not sure if I can do that again. The Force has hurt me bad in the past and I don't know if I can let her do that to me again." Adam Driver really nails it. The more I watch, the more I see from him in that character. I think Carrie is the weakest link of them all. It didn't seem like an issue the first couple of times but watching her again, she's just dragging in her scenes and when Han dies her reaction to feeling it in the Force is meh. I think she could've done a lot better. Still wondering what the significance of the ashes he puts his helmet in is.

    Makes me wonder why obvious plot strengthening scenes that are fully filmed are removed and things that could be cut for time (like Rey making dinner for example) are left.

    Hard to say. Them appearing as ghosts happened before GL went back and added midicrappians and "learning" how to be ghosts.

    I forget the source but it's strongly hinted at or said that Anakin was actually the result of such tinkering by either Plagueis or Palpatine. If Snoke is Plagueis, we don't know how much power he still has since he was "murdered." Muggle-Sith( ) or not, Ren is part of the Skywalker bloodline. That makes him incredibly powerful. It was mentioned previously in the thread, they are genuinely worried Luke will come back. There's a reason. Raw power might be that reason. We have to take into account that Luke Skywalker was in fact the last of the Jedi, regardless of Yoda's "there is another Skywalker" speech. Unlike the EU, Leia didn't do anything with her power. Luke was forged to do one thing: face Vader and destroy Palpatine. Training as a classic Republic Jedi wasn't in the job description. However, there are several parts of the EU that made a lot of sense in countering that after the fact. Kenobi's ghost stays around for awhile after RotJ and helps Luke with training and finding Holocrons if I recall. Hopefully they add something along those lines later on since it would fall in line with the fact that years later, Qui-Gon spoke with Yoda and taught him how to become a force ghost.

    Right? Damn.

    I honestly don't think it would be a terrible idea if they were the same person. It keeps everything together as far as "real" canon goes. That comparison video floating around showing the music tracks for Palpatine sharing his dark side knowledge/story about Plagueis and Snokes first appearance could merely be just John Williams giving us "bad guy/sith/dark side" music. However, I skipped to Mace's death and that scene where Anakin begs for help to keep Padme alive, Palpatine tells him "to cheat death is a power only one has achieved." This is somewhat counter to what he tells him during the opera. During the opera Palpatine makes it seem like Plagueis could only keep those he loved from dying whereas Palpatine makes it seem like Plagueis cheated death himself later on. He even averts his gaze from Anakin when telling him. Now, I'm not one to give George Lucas credit for much anymore, but it's a super interesting thing when watched again in a different context.

    This would have been pretty great for the character in the movie to have done. Anyone else on board with the theory that Snoke might be Plagueis?

    Thank you, Duke.

    I enjoyed it quite thoroughly, going again tonight at 7. Some minor dislikes:

    There are several articlesfrom today and yesterday pointing to this answer when Lin was asked about the events in Into Darkness: "[Co-writers] Simon [Pegg] and Doug [Jung] and I have spent some time on that. [laughs] Star Trek has been around for 50 years, and every filmmaker that comes on has a different point of view, and it’s a universe that can support many points of view and journeys and adventures. I embraced what JJ has brought - without him this whole group wouldn’t be together - so I’m definitely very appreciative of him. At the same time, do we address it? No, but we don’t discount it. We don’t sit there and say it doesn’t exist, it’s part of this universe now." Maybe not a reboot of a reboot, but maybe a minor retcon? Either way, it's interesting.
  13. Chewie
    I guess Lin is going to ignore the happenings of Into Darkness going forward. A reboot of a reboot?
  14. Chewie
    Seems to be the case.

    I wish there was a way to use the AC6 HOTAS set from the 360 in other places. =(

    Some footage of the X-47B refueling.

    I meant it ruined the trailer. Sorry. It looked interesting, curious to know who they're fighting and surprised they already killed the Enterprise(3 movies in) from the look of it.
  18. Chewie
    Beastie Boys throughout the whole thing ruined it for me.

    Our Galaxy does this and is pretty no nonsense with it.

    Guess we better pick him up early before he hits $350+ like Metroplex. That said, I hope they make it more of an original design. It seems Metroplex was just a larger, leaner and cleaner version of the 80s toy.

    The new Battlefront trailer for The Battle of Jakku confirms that the Falcon is

    I really enjoyed the first season of The Seven Deadly Sins.

    Facebook. It was on the Transformers Facebook page all day yesterday.

    Did you guys vote on FB today for the new Titan?

    Holy crap that makes a lot of sense. Skynet is known for its arrogance and its failure to understand how far humanity will go to survive. Dang.
