    I wonder if the opening of this film will have the standard intro crawl.

    If only SDF Macross got this sort of treatment. Would love to see more VF-1s in action during that time period, even if it's about another ace, I'm sure Roy, Max and Hikaru weren't the only aces on board. Even just a smaller story, like Top Gun...more about a battle rather than the whole war. That's why I liked Mac Plus, it was just about two test pilots and prototype variable fighters rather than focusing a lot on the entire conflict from beginning to end. Going out on a limb to say I even enjoyed Top Gun, where it was about pilot school and one incident with the Russians.

    After watching scenes from the Clone Wars, and noting the chemistry between Anikin and Ahsoka, it appears that Anikin's relationship with Ahsoka was a lot closer than his relationship with Obi Wan. I really liked Clone Wars Anikin and found his cartoon representation far better than the live one. After what the two have been through together, I'd expect them to have a lot more to talk about before it came to crossing lightsabers. I can totally imagine the two meeting and Ahsoka saying "WTF Skyguy, what the hell happened to you?" and Anikin sitting down at a Starbucks with Ahsoka telling her what's been going on in his life since she left the order. After a few hours of catching up, the conversation turns to politics, which becomes an arguement, leading to a bit of yelling, and finally someone tosses a table and the lightsabers come out. I guess I just can't imagine wanting to kill one of my closest friends after not seeing them a long time just to find that they are now supporting the Liberal Party instead of the Conservatives. At least not before having a good chat with the person first. I suppose meeting on the battlefield doesn't allow for a chat over a cup of coffee, but still.... Anikin from Clone Wars = Too likeable a character, even when he lost his temper to transition to Vader Akikin from Prequels = Too whiny to be Vader Neither versions of Anikin transitioned well to Darth Vader for me and I'm not sure why I'm struggling to get my head around it. I guess reading books like this aren't helping (Have a 1 year old who likes to look at pictures from these books: Can you imagine Leia skyping with Ahsoka, lol! I guess having a 1 year old kid running around, I can't help but think of wierd scenarios like what if Vader knew about his children and actually tried to raise them:

    Lol! I call them at ats
  11. peter
    I thought they were just referred to as Imperial walkers?

    Lol, I was so quick to post, I didn't even notice, hahahahaha! I guess since they weren't shooting from the hip, I posted before I looked. It's a refreshing change, even though their rifles have no optics or iron sights, lol!

    Nice to see troopers actually look down their sights before shooting:

    Just noticed the star destroyer towers are ever so slightly different. Didn't notice or look for any other differences. Also, looks like a life size ANH X-wing prop....not sure why I'm always obsessed with what happens to these props. BSG sold all their life size mock ups to private collectors rather than trashing them. It would be nice to know that the X-wings and Millenium Falcon from TFA and now new X-wings don't suffer the same fate as the original X-wings, Y-Wings and Falcon.

    The actress playing Mon Mothma is pretty convincing, holy. AT-ATs.....cool

    One of my favourite Vader lines "The force is with you, young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet." Of course, that was Empire. Didn't Yoda say in ROTJ that Luke wasn't a Jedi until he faced Vader? Anyway, semantics. The whole thing is a friggin' mess since the prequels came out..... I'll agree with you on the Padawan thing.....GD I hated that term. Yeah, I also have to try to remember that Rebels is a kid's show, you're right. So far, I'm on the fence about it. To me, it's not horrible, but it's not awesome either. Let's hope it doesn't turn into a steaming pile in season three.

    Yeah, he did say that, but I don’t see why they have to die as long as they don’t have a prominent role in the rebellion against the empire? Maybe I don’t have a proper grasp of how big or how small the Alliance really is, but from what I can understand, Rebels covers just one cell of many in the Alliance, so maybe it’s just this cell that’s leaning heavily on the help of these two/three Jedi? I also note that Kanan isn’t technically a Jedi, and neither is Ezra. They possess skills and weapons commonly associated with Jedi, but they are not technically Jedi. As for Ahsoka, she left the Jedi Order of her own free will. And Obi Wan said himself that he was “once a Jedi”, implying that he is no longer a Jedi as of Ep IV. If the Jedi were modeled after concepts common to the samurai of Japan, I can definitely accept the existence of Kanan, Ezra and Ahsoka after the purge. If for whatever reason a samurai finds himself longer employed and has no boss/master, he is no longer a samurai by title. The Jedi served the republic, and if they republic no longer exists, no more Jedi? Anyway, yeah, a lot of plot holes and retconning still remain and if Filoni's not careful, he'll end up doing what GL did to the Prequels.

    I think they have reaffirmed that sentiment in Rebels when whats-her-nuts says they won’t always be around

    What Wonder Woman should really look like.....you know, being from the Amazon and all:

    Ron Jeremy as Captain Gloval

    If they bring back that fool that played his son, game over.
  23. peter
    Wow, that's some awesome art! Looks like the original concept art did not have split wing X-Wings early on (first image in portfolio)? Split wing was introduced later? Some seriously cool art. Yeah, glad they didn't give Luke a chonmage.

    I finally watched this film.....Not as horrible as people made it out to be. There was a bit of corn in it (airplane chase scene, the corny specialy guns like the double 1911 etc), but probably not the worst Bond film I've seen.
