    Sorry, I didn't link them until the later post.

    Hard to say. From a film/design standpoint, I'd absolutely say yes. They even sounded like TIEs in Ep. 3. However, it's hard to pinpoint the canon of it because the ETA and V-Wings were Kaut while the TIE was Sienar and TIEs are supposedly decendants(post prequels) of the V-Wing and who knows what actually remains for their made up manufacturers. The prequels really are just a mess.

    Cool pic that was on reddit.

    Certain point of view I suppose. For starters, the Delta-7 and the ETA-2 (Jedi starfighters)looked more advanced. They're still a decade+ older than the X-Wing. There were also no expenses spared for Jedi/Republic tech because at that time they had the resources of what would become the Empire. Take away all the shades of red on ships, add some more shades of grey and it's still the same shipyards, designers and banks funding the Empire that were funding the Republic. The Alliance was being funded and supported by a select few companies (Incom, who built the X-Wing) and people (the Organas before they got deaded) and they didn't have the money to keep everything looking all pristine and shiny, let alone build them in the numbers the Empire had. It was a near 2 decade long guerilla war before the first Death Star was destroyed. There was also a lot of EU background stuff on the origin of the X-Wing, B-Wing, A-Wings and where they came from which made sense with how they were built and funded. A newer version of the X-Wing was still the primary fighter in the EU 30 years after A New Hope. On the other hand, Lucas didn't have the hind/foresight/care to realize what the prequels were going to look like next to 20+ year old movies. Also, like M'Kyuun points out: in the Star Wars universe gravity is easily overcome with some sort of tech. Well, make sure he knows he can be anything he wants. =P

    Pretty sure it was this too. Seeing himself with a lightsaber on film is waaaaaay different than seeing it on a poster. He probably didn't even get to see it in post. David, can I post the picture from the Vanity Fair article insead? Was more for direct comparison to the costume.

    So yeah, Luke eh? Both are gifs. Click away. ::sorry, but I'm gonna say that 2nd pic's a spoiler, though not really plot-wise:: I would just change it from embedded to a link, but it was attached, so no easy way other than to delete it::

    The new Marvel comics and the books are canon too; Star Wars, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Lando, Chewbacca, C-3PO, Shattered Empire and Kanan for comics. Lords of the Sith, Tarkin, A New Dawn, Dark Disciple, Aftermath, Heir to the Jedi and a bunch of others for books.

    Kicker, what lighting do you have in those?

    The Bat went up for preorder this morning according to my email. Not a bad price considering it comes with Batman and Catwoman.

    Good eye sniper. Definitely looks like a ship to me.

    That's how MW rolls buddy. The general feeling I get is that it's either a shot for shot remake or it's total crap for a lot of people here. There's also a lot of generalized "don't know how everyone likes X movie because I hate it" and when people actually dislike a movie it's "well, it was actually a lot better than what most people are saying." It was a good remake of a movie that wasn't that amazing to begin with.

    I 'borrowed' the hell out of this for my desktop background.

    Destiny has the potential to be a truly amazing game. It's not necessarily a bad game as it is, however the problem is that the things it has don't make up for the things it lacks. There's no variety. There's no story; the grimoires are lazy. They are far too involved with the PVP side of things and blanket fixes/nerfs because of it. They've proven with Iron Banner it doesn't have to be blanketed. They have a switch that toggles power and armor. Stop breaking things in PVE. It's missing no brainer features that have to be gotten from a third party websites(LFG) or an app. Boring characters with dialogue that was pieced together from what remained of the gutting. All intricacies handled on a website. Server stability issues that have graduated into resetting modems/routers/Xbox connectivity. The Taken King is promising a lot of what should have been available at launch and people are pissed and rightly so. Just reading about this expansion makes the game feel more complete. More of what it should have been and what people were expecting at launch. Lastly, they've had to back pedal far too many times whenever Deej or Smith opened their prick mouths. Those aren't the people you want representing your company. I don't care about Activision having their nasty, greedy little hands in it. It's part of the territory. These guys are simply douchebags. I'll continue to play because I mostly have fun and I can pick it up and put it down, but I want more from it and I hope TTK delivers.

    Those Bandai figures are fairly inexspensive for the detail they have. Dang. Edit: Aaaaand they're sold out everytwhere it seems. =O

    Thanks guys. I currently have a V1 Yamato VF-1J and I briefly owned the 1/72 VF-19 and it was garbage compared to this. I didn't do much with it when I opened it, and haven't transformed it yet but it's just so perfect. I can't believe the amouunt of detail it has and the fact that everything on it is printed and not a sticker. It's also huge! It's nuts. So glad I did it.

    With a little help from you guys talking it up and Anubis, I picked one up and man, it's so awesome.

    I enjoyed it. A lot of the nuances of Guy Ritchie (Who I feel doesn't make a bad film, period.) and the trio nailed it. Music and some of the cutaways reminded me of the Ocean's films.

    Thanks Yeti, I appreciate it.

    Perhaps. Finally in a place financially where doing more than talking about buying is an actual thing for me. Thanks for the support! haha Was just looking at your website. Creeper. =P Which adapter would I ​need for the Bandai 19? Will the Arcadia work? Also, which would I need if I just wanted to display it in fighter? Thanks.
