    Sorry. They need to exhaust “Baby Yoda” merch first. The way this is. Spoken I have.

    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.

    Whenever someone talks about the Empire's money, I'm reminded of this:

    Kids these days probably don't even know what a spaghetti Western is...

    Yeah.....you probably don't want to read the script leaks then. It gets close but yeah....

    Correction:

    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

    Alright...enough about a talking head and Youtube.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    That's a double-edge sword. You can only string your audience for so long before they decide not to take the bait.

    That's because it was. Guess the season will be made up of 30 minute episodes.

    One thing I'm not terribly fond of is how Jedi Fallen Order feels like Uncharted with a lightsaber.
  15. azrael
    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.

    I’d call it a copyright violation. I’ll be here all week folks.

    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.

    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.
  19. azrael
    Yeah, this has little to do with HG and more with a sexual harassment lawsuit. Meh.

    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.
  21. azrael
    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.

    ‘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.
  23. azrael
    Naw...really? And that was the whole point of the design aesthetic of the prequels. They start with more curves then make their way to the boxy-industrial look of the OT. The Republic ships eventually become the Empire so the designers start with curvy art nouveau to the industrial design, much like car designs. But whoever the designers of the sequels are don't understand that. And that's the lacking element from the sequel designs. Nothing has changed. It's basically the McQuarrie concept art. There was no imagination in the sequel designs. Much like car design has brought back curves, the designers could have done the same. Modern car designs have adopted an aerodynamic feel to maximize air flow around the car. The sequel designers could have introduced something along those lines...but no. By the time we get to that point in the story (Episode 1), yes, the Republic was at that point of just maintaining status quo. And that's where Palps saw his opening.
  24. azrael
    So...with all those ships....they gonna light-speed ram all those Star Destroyers? Yeh, I went there.

    Piece of the Death Star landing on another planetary body is possible. In another star system so soon.... Talk about the odds of a planet in the flight path and landing so soon... What about the condition of that wreckage? The exposed parts should have more crispy bits considering it came from space.
