    YJA is going to be your best option these days

    HG needs to relaunch a Robotech meatpie campaign....

    What exactly is the point of the ST...other than to reboot the franchise and cash in on OT fanboys and grab a bigger piece of the Disney core demographic pie? The PT chronicles Anakin's downfall. The OT depicts his redemption. This was done in 6 movies.....the ST will now do the same in 3? I'm just glad they are doing the SW stories...although so far it seems the stories are centering around events and characters we are familiar with, but don't know the "whole" story....so kinda following the PT formula....we know how it ends....but not how it played out....should be more interesting....at this point maybe Rebels is the most original SW storyline going....although I have not had a chance to see it...

    Wow....can't argue with that reasoning!Anyway....TFA is about as lazy and unimaginative a movie can get....Disney knows the target demographic wouldn't notice the blatant rehashing from the OT...and let's face it....that demographic is the same demographic that made SW what it is today in the late 70's/early 80's.....mainly elementary school age kids....not old fanboys....most in this movie's targeted group may find the OT boring compared to todays faster action requirements for movies....and shorter attention spans....it works for so many older viewers most likely due to pure nostalgia and the return of core characters....if you take off the blinders, this movie is mediocre at best...all hype, little substance....

    Yeah....the music from TFA is the worst of all SW movies so far....actually, it's the only forgettable one thus far.....the rest are great....it's like John Williams found some unused forgettable tracks from his Harry Potter score and repurposed them for TFA...

    If the majority of people approve of something...it doesn't make that something good or right...just popular

    TFA is basically Macross II....same borrowed plots and concepts....just set in the future.....

    Well, there's the Emo Ren rage scenes which ended up being quite comical....how much comic fodder has this idiot character provided? No one will be able to watch him during the next installment and not think of his "twitter" persona....he is a joke...they should have never filmed those scenes of brooding rage....epic fail... Basically, the entire movie was just filler we were forced to sit through so we could stare in awe at Hamill's movie-stealing final scene...and give some fool's hope that something interesting might happen during the next installment... Everything else in TFA is just a giant f'ing commercial to sell action figures and other junk for Disney...

    ^ This would still make billions....and have dorks across the webs declaring it as still better than Lucas' prequels....
  10. jvmacross
    A delay to fix things....or adjust production numbers?

    So is there some physical limitation, as in proximity to the being using/disturbing the Force, that will either allow you to "sense" their utilization/disturbance of the Force or not? This seems to be the case, at least with Vader....as the same thing happens when Luke arrives at Endor durig ROTJ. Additionally, it would explain why Obi-Wan could remain undetected on Tatooine while still using the Force to "learn" from Qui-Gon during the "Dark Times".... However, it seems to be contradicted when Alderaan gets blown up light-years away from Kenobi....similarly how Leia senses Han's death..... I am sure it can all be explained via Midichlorians!

    This may eventually be retconned in the coming movies, books and/or whatever other media Disney will require you to purchase to "get the whole story".... If they come up with some nonsense regarding Luke being able to camouflage Rey's mind/block Rey's memories of being a Jedi-in-training.....then that would also help in explaining why Luke and Leia were able to remain "hidden" from Vader and the Emperor for so long during the "Dark Times"....heck....the Emperor was able to hide in plain sight during the Clone Wars from the most powerful Jedi's of the time....so same concept I guess.....
  14. jvmacross
    7 is what happens when you let Disney take over....
  15. jvmacross
    Well, she knew where Luke was dangling at the end of his father-son reunion....

    Haven't seen Rebels yet but looking forward to binge watching it soon....I really liked the recent teaser that was posted..... Unfortunately, due to Disney wanting to expand the universe "officially" to include all other forms of media beyond the films....you are now limited as to what is "canon" as Disney now clearly wants to have more control of it........with that said, and until proven otherwise, I prefer to think Vader simply did not possess that "skill"...if you want to say that he did, then you'd have to question why he would not have had the same reaction that Kylo did with Rey...meaning it would have been obvious to Vader that Leia was way stronger than "normal" with the Force.....thus tripping warning signs for him and possibly, if he shared his findings, with the Emperor.....I wouldn't surprise me if ANH gets retconned to fit in with the ST in several ways.....they have done away with one EC in exchange for another...except this time we are being told from the start it is "canon"....so purchase as much as you can into it!

    I said it was a "stretch" because I was replying to wether or not Leia gave up any information as a direct result of interrogation....clearly she did not....your second reply seems to agree with that although I still think they would not have succeeded via interrogation of anykind..... However, the only reason they got what they wanted was due to Leai allowing them to track them all the way to Yavin.....they would have had nothing had they killed her as Tarkin wanted...so you are probably right, Tarkin was too quick in "giving up"..... When did they use Force mind reading in Episode 4???? Sounds like you may be wanting to retcon Episode 4 to fit in with Episode 7....LOL You are apparently trapped by only what you see on film and do not have enough of an imagination to envision how RO may end to tie-in with ANH...although maybe you only "inject supposition and hypothesis" it if it suits your argument......Thus, not sure how you cannot imagine a "hand-off" occuring over Tatooine orbit....Are you saying that there is no way a ship could be destroyed on the other side of Tatooine NOT shown during the opening sequence of ANH???? Wow! Apparently, in your mind ships can only rendezvous on one location around a planet's orbit.... And just so you are not confused...it is just speculation.....it does not mean it is going to happen that way....relax
  18. jvmacross
    Kind of a stretch..... And if you are referring to the Falcon being tracked....no info was "extracted" from her during interrogation....again....stretching.... Kinda funny as this whole silly debate started with my speculation regarding the possibility of the RO ship being "tracked" to a potential rendezvous point over Tatooine....LOL!!!
  19. jvmacross
    With your needless comments regarding the PT at each chance you get....I guess you'd know all about trolling, huh?
  20. jvmacross
    They couldn't before...suddenly Leia would crack "this" time? Nope.
  21. jvmacross
    Ummmmm.....it was a bust....lol...Plus, Vader tried getting info from Leia before....didn't end too well for Vader & Co. Additionally, Vader vowed to the Emperor that Luke would join them or die....why would he care if Leia happened to die in his scheme to get at Luke? In fact, he probably would have had her and Chewie executed had his plot actually succeeded....he knew based on previous experience that Leia would have died before giving up any real info..... And not to open up another can of worms....but why didn't Vader utilize the same "interrogation" techniques employed by his future emo grandson?
  22. jvmacross
    Yeah....that would be awful for one of the leaders of the Rebellion to get killed by "accident"... Take off the Star Wars fanboy goggles, dude....lol
  23. jvmacross
    Are you suggesting that Luke, having travelled all the way from Dagobah based on a vision of his friends in trouble, would have arrived on Bespin....seen none of his friends....decide to chalk it up to a boneheaded rookie Jedi mistake....and head back to Dagobah?Not only that, but Vader, in an emo-like fit, much like those of his future grandson....would have let him go because his "plan" did not go exactly like he wanted it to? Uh-huh....
  24. jvmacross
    Yeah....Vader's plan would have completely unraveled if Chewie had been shot and/or killed.... Heck.....that's not the only thing that doesn't apply in Star Wars movies.....logic and commonsense are high up there too....but we love them so it's all good!
  25. jvmacross
    Exactly!
