    Only way.

    Great looking ride for Millia! I always love her planes. Now on my table for the B-17 GB on Britmodeller is...

    C'mon Japan, hurry up!

    It would have been, if there had been a way for them to sit on the reason why they turned to dust before IW came out. I could easily imagine a leak happening before the IW premier and people knowing they were going to lose before even sitting down.

    That look super-fine, Arbit! And your eldest should be grounded for that low number!

    I just hope they are better than Phasma! And I hope if they bring her back she is a totally burned bitch who comes back as the devil incarnate!

    Quick, everyone buy as many 1/72 fighters as you can!

    Which is why they really needed to show some extra scenes featuring Leia at least using some Force power. All we had was her 'sensing' that Luke was her brother in RoTJ after he told her. It's entirely possible a scene like that was filmed but left out, like her conversations with the young woman we see on Hosnian Prime just before the beam hit. Even a small scene with her moving some object would have been good, but without that her doing a 'Mary Poppins' comes as more of a surprise than it should have.

    I haven't noticed any real fan-service at all in 2202, but then I've probably only seen half(?) as yet. I think it is all in the merchandising. Right Mel?

    I'm really hoping Sif shows up again - and not just to be killed off.

    It was a little over-long but I'm liking it. And the OG colors at the end! I'm assuming this is after JL?

    I like it. Thank your daughter for the 'dirt.'

    Dang triple posty!!!

    Dang double posty!

    Wow, Harbour is looking good as Hellboy! Really hoping a lot of that isn't rubber 'muscle' but movies are all about fantasy anyway. Was really hoping this was a continuation, but if they are trying to distance themselves from the previous movies then we're in reboot-land.

    That MilF is looking good.

    Okay, February. February is good. If they need to sharpen some things up or just leave some extra time for marketing, I'm down!

    Maybe short notice but Reynolds and Co have my trust in this. Even if it is only half as good as the first two, it would still be awesome!

    To be fair, the Resistance had lost so many people at that point they were throwing everyone at the bad guys!

    Geez! That one Andie had two Dreadnoughts strapped to its sides! Gawd!

    ^^^ THIS ^^^ 'Oh, Han is dead, huh? Killed by my nephew, his son, you say? And Leia is in danger? And the entire Resistance? And the entire galaxy, huh? Wait a second while I drink some blue milk..." Glug glug glug glug glug...

    Yeah, someone actually taking a hold of their life and turning themselves around is not something to be derided for. RDJ has a bad history of substance abuse and that's pretty much it, with a stresser on history. His history. What he did in the past mainly hurt himself and so I consider that a personal issue that no one else has the right to comment on.

    That was real cool. I'd watch that! As to them taking more than a year to bring out a movie, judging by recent examples, I'm all for it! And this is someone who likes TFA despite its flaws. And yeah, Solo as well... The only real good SW movie in recent years was Rogue One (and that's despite scary Leia at the end...) TLJ was just 'okay' and that's because of how they had Luke end up, the two hour chase sequence that just treaded space, and the side adventure that went no where. Which, being realistic, happens a lot! A lot of times people try something that just doesn't work out. I think it still could have been survivable though if at the end, 1) Luke didn't die of exhaustion!! and, 2) if the Resistance had actually been saved at the end by the forces Leia was hoping would show up. Even if it had just been a small relief fleet that blunted the First Orders attack, it would have given more hope to the ending and allowed more of the Resistance to survive. And if Luke hadn't died!!!!! But hey, he'll be a Force ghost in the next one, hurray...woohoo... This third installment has a LOT to overcome. The bread crumbs left at the end of TFA - and simply ignored in TLJ - need to be picked up and threaded back into the narrative, which is not going to be an easy thing to do. And I don't know if JJ has the chops for it, especially as most of what he has done has been paying homage to beloved franchises by rebooting and recycling the old movies. And even if he is able to throw a Hail Mary play and come out with a winner, I don't know if the audiences is going to be there to even see it. Look at Star Trek Beyond. That was a good damn movie, but people were still salty about Into Darkness that they didn't go to see the next one. TLJ was that level of Fail, partly because they started treating it like an assembly line (which is only good for churning out the exact same thing) and because they put it into the hands of a director who apparently had no idea what the fans wanted to see... I'd say that the mistakes really started when they tossed out the EU in its entirety. The fans had become invested in those books and their expanded story lines. Now no, not all of them were good either, but they were a treasure trove of characters and plots that, in the end, were ultimately ignored for a retread.

    I could never figure how these technological wonders never could fix a voice box. Unless by mistake - and then inexplicably break it again... I'm really liking the G1 designs being brought back. I just hope they are still refining them and that they are somethings that will be carried over into the following movies.

    I see you chose the one from Aliens 3, 'the movie that never happened...' Had thoughts of doing that. Good luck and show plenty of pics! As for me, no longer on the bench and no longer under it either, it the UNCF Murasame 707. She was started as the Yunagi, but my color blue of choice was too light to match the box art, so decals from the Kirishima boxing were used to name her after a heavy cruiser lost during the First Battle of Pluto.
