    R2 has been robotic from the start with Kenny Baker only in there when they needed it to bounce around or walk on 2 legs.

    EX-Gear without the exo-skeleton features. Basically a jetpack and drone interface.

    Thank god it's not a shipping-war. Can't wait to see Kaname or Reina getting pulled in.

    If we're learning how Han became a smuggler, then it's an origin story. Just as much as the prequels are Anakin's origin and the OT are Luke's origin. It doesn't matter who is writing it.

    But that's what the fanboys want. They have to know cradle-to-grave details.

    This thought I could go with. Snoke would have gone after Rey if he knew she was the more powerful of the 2. But since Ben was the only known Skywalker-decendent, he corrupted Ben. I'm inclined to believe Luke never knew he had a child till she showed up with his lightsaber.

    Focus on the episode. If you want to talk about marketing data, do so elsewhere.

    That's been debunked.

    4. Judging by the missing character profile, I don't think we need concern ourselves with Herman for too much longer. And I swear you guys are influencing the writers. Makina...."Music is hope." Definitely giving off some hopes and dreams there guys...

    Well, it was called "Mission 0.89" for a reason. Practically says, "We're not done yet".

    Something I noticed on the Sv-262s...If they folded in, where are the fold boosters?

    Interesting. Ikenai Overdrive is definitely a catchy tune. The VF-31 isn't that bad. Still not a fan of the forward-swept wings (There are other kinds of wing designs, Kawamori) but it's nice to see they kept the YF-30's multi-purpose container-unit-thingy.

    George Lucas Criticizes Latest ‘Star Wars’ Installment Yes, boo hoo. But it's nice to know even the creator noticed this movie's storytelling shortcomings that many of us picked up on.

    You forget; Hollywood isn't creative anymore. It's all about reboots and continuations of franchises.

    Bingo. The Netflix-suit, below the neck, is fine and tolerable. It could be a more vibrant red, but otherwise fine. It's the cowl which looks terrible and ruins the rest of the suit.
  16. azrael
    Spoil'd for size. I still hate the cowl but now it looks worst in daylight.

    Unless...

    Avidemux? AVS Video Editor? VirtualDub? However, VirtualDub requires a bit of advance knowledge. Personally, I won't want to re-encode over network. All the layers of transmission (PC->PC NIC->Router->NAS NIC->NAS hardware->NAS HD) would slow down the encoding. Give the free video editors a try.

    Cuz life isn't fair. You'll get to scream like a little girl before the rest of us so you'll just have to wait for the rest of us.

    Watched it. It's OK. Acting was better than the prequels. Better dialogue probably helped there. I liked Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, and Oscar Issac. John Boyega? He was OK (I'll get to his character in a bit). Action was OK. Some parts of the dogfights were kinda nauseating. I don't like converted to 3D, but that was the earliest showing and I had other stuff to do. It was a good movie, but the story didn't feel great (I'll be covering lots of it under spoiler tags further down). It could have taken some risks but choose to play it safe and stay close to ANH. There could have been more story and less paying homage. John Williams score? Didn't even notice it. There was no bit of music that stuck in my head which makes me question why they even called him in. Captain Phasma? Again, what was the point of her character with so little screen time? Some story elements felt a little too convenient. Reminds me of something Qui-Gon said in TPM about luck and the Force. Parts of the story (which I'll get to under spoilers) felt just a bit too convenient while a few didn't really need to be there. Some of the scenes they cut from the trailers actually would probably have been better left in the movie. At the same time, this movie leaves a bit too much open for the following movies. TL;DR, I enjoyed my time spent it but it didn't feel memorable or mind-blowing.

    You should read Dr. Tyson's tweets. In other words, stop thinking that hard.

    Haven't even watched this yet (next week, after the weekend rush) and it feels like backstory needs to be inserted to make some sense. I'll find out next week.
