    Biggest drawback for me for the first one was that found footage, handicam crap. I have a really hard time with movies like that. I really liked Chronicle but man, same thing.

    Anakin/Vader hated Tatooine. There was no reason for him to go back. His mother was buried there. It was the last place he ever would have gone which is why it was the perfect hiding spot. The Lars were only his "family" by marriage and I am sure he never really gave a single damn about that.

    Shocking.

    Around here they're all hard to find. 3 Targets, TRU and the one Wal-Mart I dare step into have had all the same stock for months. That is to say, none at all. One Target has one Constable Zuvio with TORE UP packaging. Same Target had something like 30 Slave Leias that were all clearance awhile back.

    Has anyone officially confirmed his race post Legends? That, and what is there to stop them from changing their whole pace and going from "developing a female character" to "make it Plagueis?" I like the theory. That's all. =P

    Barnyard Camberditch wasn't Kahn either.

    Dolby ATMOS > the IMAX we attended last night by leagues.

    I am guessing this IMAX was top notch before my local Galaxy got renovated. Galaxy is now assigned recliners in all theaters and the DFX ATMOS screen is massive and sounds amazing. They upgraded their menu too. They are in the middle of adding an IMAX screen that management is promising to be better than the DFX screen. Won't be open until February though. We'll see.

    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.
  13. Chewie
    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?
  18. Chewie
    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.
  21. Chewie
    I guess Lin is going to ignore the happenings of Into Darkness going forward. A reboot of a reboot?
  22. Chewie
    Seems to be the case.
  23. Chewie
    I wish there was a way to use the AC6 HOTAS set from the 360 in other places. =(
  24. Chewie
    Some footage of the X-47B refueling.
  25. Chewie
    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.
