Aside from Julian's post, this was a nice little treat after a long ass meeting. Man, I'd be kind of psyched for a Greedo voice, regardless of how little I understand of Huttese.

I couldn't decide between the pancake molds or the cookie cutters, so I ordered both.
-
I picked up my order today, and the pancake molds are WAY better than the cookie molds. If you're not willing to go all out on the decorations for the cookies, then you won't likely enjoy them. The pancake molds on the other hand are AWESOME and a lot bigger than I thought.
-
NKOTB and Smackie, I've got a serious question for both of you. Please answer this honestly. Do either of you; or, in your case Smackie, did you; plan to make these pancakes and cookies yourself? Especially the cookies. What I mean is 'you', not the ettes in your household. The pancakes are more believeable because, for some odd reason, men (at least straight ones), tend to not mind making breakfast foods but, unless they have to, will avoid any real cooking, especially baking. Unless they are making pot brownies, of course. Baking cookies is just not something I can easily believe that either of you would do more than maybe once just to try out your new toys.
Now if I'm wrong, hey, more power and respect to you! ;)

Jag, sexist much?
I'm actually a much better baker than I am a cook, and Smackette will be the first to admit that I'm a better baker than she is. I've attemted to improve my cooking skills, but I just don't have the passion that I see from other good cooks - like Venerable for example, who's a damn good cook because he takes it as a challenge.
I make breakfast nearly 100% of the time and make about 30% of our dinners, mostly because of smackette's brutal schedule as a resident. That being said, the impetus for Smackette encouraging the SW pancake molds is for me to make pancakes for dinner, which thus far I have been reluctant to do. We actually did not end up taking home the cookie cutters because the cookies by themsleves (without decorations) are boring and decorating cookies is not my thing. I blame Williams and Sonoma for that because the cookies in their store looked awesome and I could never recreate them.
That being said, I bake a lot of desserts, most recently a strawberry shortcake from scratch that looks something like this (though my cake is much more flaky....):

-
Wow, Smackie. You amaze me! Good for you! I did know that Venerable did some cooking; at least, bakes a lot of apple pies.
Honestly though, most men that I've known just won't cook or bake unless they are living alone and have to. The worst offenders tend to be the older ones, like closer to my age... and even older. Think it was the way they were brought up to believe that it's a woman's place to cook and clean for the man. The generations younger are so much better about that sort of stuff. Think the younger women stood up for themselves and demanded more sharing of the loads.
Believe me, I could tell you lots of stories regarding lots of different men that I've known or known of whom it would kill to even think of helping out with any sort of cooking. In fact, I broke up with one guy whom I was living with, in part, because of that sort of behavior. The closest he ever got to cooking was fixing himself a bowl of cereal!
Rhett cooks too, I think. Seems he's mentioned it a few times.
I love men who cook.
Still waiting for NKOTB to weigh in. :D
(Now be honest, NKOTB. ;) )
-
I lend my hand as much as possible in the kitchen. There are two main roadblocks though:
1) My wife is still generally home with the kid during the day, so she's ready to hand him off to me when I get home at night. I certainly don't mind (it's nice to come home and see his smiling face), but it then ties me up a bit too much from making dinner, since babies and boiling water don't mix.
2) My wife is an absolute control freak in the kitchen by her own admission. Even when it is my night to cook, she tends to make about 75% of the meal because I don't do it right. Not that the food isn't good..it's just she has her ways.
I do have a wheelhouse of meals that I handle solo, and that's always expanding. But I'd be lying if I said my wife didn't handle a good 85% of the cooking.

my wife does most of the cooking because she hates to clean. my question is does jaguar hate doing dishes like every other woman in the whole world? be honest

That's an important part. If my wife cooks, I handle the dishes. When I cook, I handle the dishes. And I'm the clean freak of the two of us. We keep things pretty equal.

I cook 50% of the meals, do my own laundry and ironing, mow the lawn, rake the leaves, trim the bushes and trees, and serve as my soon to be three year old's play buddy. But my wife still does alot more work than me.
Cooking is one of the easiest household chores. Try staining a deck. Now there's a real chore. And my wife is finishing doing that all on her own.
Rhett cooks too, I think. Seems he's mentioned it a few times.

thats why two guys together are so great. we both cook, take turns cooking and cleaning up . . . and sometimes even like to have wild animal sex in the kitchen. yummy.

Strangely enough, I love washing dishes. My very favorite household chore. I've even done them at other people's homes while visiting even though I didn't eat there just because they were there and I had the urge. LOL. It's a water thing. I love playing around in water. Also, I'm one of those cooks who is obsessed with cleaning the dishes as I go along. Hate most of the other chores but I'd gladly do all the dishes whether I did the cooking or not. I like to cook too but not everyday. And as I've learned through experience, when I'm the one expected to always do all of the cooking, my actual cooking will dramatically drop off... unless I'm the only one home.
NKOTB, believe it or not, I haven't the slightest problem with the balance that you and your wife have with the cooking duties. It all comes down to the levels that both people are comfortable with and expectation levels. Obviously, you both have it worked out to what works best for your family. The kind of guys that I was refering to are the ones who refuse to help out in the kitchen and expect females to cater to them. Especially the types who won't even try to balance it out with other sorts of duties. Again, in this day and age, it usually is more of a generational thing but suspect there are still some hold outs. I've got a relative whom I can always tell his relationship status just by observing his fluctuating weight. One of those who would rather starve than dare cook a meal. It's too girly or gay, you know. ::) What this fool can't get through his head is that most of we women tend to love men who cook. (There, I've done it. Exposed one of we ladies' secrets. ;) )
NKOTB, you never did tell us who is going to bake those cookies. ;D

I've discovered you have to spray the molds with Pam (or dip in vegetable oil) with each use:

I'm with Thirsty on this, at least for playback on TV. Storage space is so cheap now that I no longer compress movies.
Depending on what device you use for playback, VOB rip to MPEG2 (single file conversion) for standard DVDs (about 1.5-3GB per movie), .mt2s to 1080p H.264-encoded MP4 for Blu-Ray that comes in around 15GB-40GB depnding on the movie.
-
No compression here either. Pretty happy with it.

That shouldn't be a surprise as I have not hidden my thoughts on tangible media. When there is something I think I should own, I purchase the 1080p digital file, otherwise I stream/rent HD files from various sources.
On the rare occasion, I rip blu-ray movies with a laptop into digital files, usually to replace something I originally owned on standard dvd.
I do not see a reason to buy a blu-ray player when my Xbox/Tivo/HTPC are all capable of doing everything a blu-ray player is capable doing, short of new audio codecs that my stereo doesn't even support anyway...

I just downloaded the trailer this morning. I think if this came out when I was a kid (meaning under 30), I would've gone bonkers for it. Now I feel I'm a little too old...and my son is way too young to justify me getting it "for him."
Funny, the Kinect was the selling point for my wife for us to get an Xbox, and it's the thing I use the least.

-
Maybe "too old" isn't the right word; it's probably "too realistic" in that I know I wouldn't play it much. I'm a pretty fickle gamer...games need to be super involved AND nerdy to catch me and hold me for an extended period of time (see Batman: Arkham Asylum...which is old but absolutely amazing).
That said...I'm still a sucker, and will get this as a gift at some point. Just like my boycott on buying Star Wars on Blu Ray or seeing it in 3-D will go right out the window as soon as they come out.

I was there. It was geeky fun. Wore the shirt I posted below...
It was kinda funny because there were a lot of Star Wars people who knew very little about baseball, then a lot of baseball people who all of a sudden realized they knew very little about Star Wars (all things considered of course...). I would definitely go again as the Giants big screen is amazing and so was the sound.

the hobbit looks "beta-ish", as in rushed out too soon just to have something for people to look at. the scenery and special effects look bad at this stage and sets look like just that . . . like sets.

I was going to ask you how you liked it. I thought I saw you at the show, but realized it's been years since I met you at that Dino Jr show, so I got weirded out about asking a random guy if he was walkonby from the 9:30 forum.
Pretty fun show, I thought...especially that Fugazi cover. The crowd was really weird though. What was with Stone Cold Steve Austin crowd-surfing? And why was I surrounded by couples seemingly on first dates with no interest in the show? I never really expected making out at a DM show...
FYI, Rhett...more attractive women than I would've thought, but also tons of dorks. Oh, and more black dudes than I've seen in the last ten shows I've been to combined. Didn't see that coming.

greatest show of my life.
in love with u street.
area was great.
nice to feel a trip back into time.
loved the two black women in front of me going full on bat shit crazy screaming at anybody daring to slam or push them, and the one guy screaming back . . . "this is punk rock, what the fuck?"
loved the guy who looked like stone cold, though he looked like a real fucking prick in real life.
i wore a shirt that had a kitten with its head cut off, to the side.
i like tall cans of red stripe at the bar. bartenders were hot.
new bass player won my vote . . . and then fucking some. mvp of the night.
opening band kicked serious ass, bought their cd and talked to the poor guy selling merch.
i don't think i've ever listened to zola jesus.
the fugazi cover sounded too creepily like fugazi was actually playing it. bizarre.
best show of my life.
-
Yeah, he was great. Plus, the old school Ween shirt didn't hurt things. I think I had that one from the 12 Golden Country Greats tour...too bad I bought it when I was fat.
Was talking to a guy next to me who had seen them before, and he randomly showed me a text from a friend asking if they would play Stuart. Five minutes later...bam. That ruled.
new bass player won my vote . . . and then fucking some. mvp of the night.

I didn't see it until I was 4 as well, but it was after Close Encounters came out. It was early 1978 and my folks took us all to the Drive-in thinking the kids would just sleep. I was hooked.
I saw the next two on opening Day at Mann's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd with the Characters walking about.
I saw the next three at the Uptown on Conn Ave, front row balcony at the midnight showing because the staff used to come to the P's all the time and they hooked me up.

Unsure if this belongs here, or in "for nkotb"...

That was a great read.
-
My parents walked out of Rouge One because They said it was boring and The scenes were Too dark.
-
My kids thought it was boring and we are all confused by what was going on half the time. Neither kid liked it very much, and I didn't either. But part of it was that I was constantly having to get up and get someone water or take someone to the bathroom or deal with whatever the fuck issue some child was having. I was in charge of 5 kids at the theater so it was a recipe for disaster.
I went to see it again with no kids and liked it quite a bit more. I still don't think it's a very good movie. The way it just stomps all over its own jokes/punchlines is so ham-handed, and I don't find any of the characters interesting in the slightest. But it was pretty neat how it built up and then slotted neatly into 'Star Wars'.
So I went from giving it a 4/10 to a 7/10. Has some great parts, has some stupid parts, story is good, characters are mediocre, kind of how Return of the Jedi exists in my mind.
Meanwhile, I went back and re-watched Force Awakens and that is the far superior movie. There are things about that one I don't love, like the whole "MY SON" thing that Han does, but it's a solid continuation and I *do* like the characters in that one.
-
I am not sure if I am less shocked that young children didn't know what was going on in a movie rated PG-13, or that someone that took 5 young children missed most of the movie.
-

Actually neither of those things seem particular surp-- oh, I see what you did there.
-
Well, to clarify, three of the kids are 12 years old and two are 8 years old, both of whom are younger brothers to the 12 yr olds. So they're all growing up in a Fast & Furious world and are pretty sophisticated when it comes to movies, relative to their age groups.
But I can tell you that when I saw it the first time, I had zero idea how Forest Whitaker fit into any of the plot (I missed that it was him who stuck his head down the hole where the girl was hiding) and I couldn't really figure out how Diego Luna was involved (missed his "I've been fighting in the rebellion since I was 6" speech).
I also thought the blond evil Director guy was two different people because in his outdoor scenes, his face was often twisted and animated and when he was inside talking to his superiors, he was much more calm and stoic. So I thought there were two evil directors, one of which was an outdoorsy loose canon and then his more buttoned-up doppelganger inside.
Also, I really didn't like how in the first 15 minutes, the movie bounces to like a dozen different locations, all getting subtitles. The original trilogy didn't need to do that because it was clean filmmaking.

I miss NKOTB, because when I talk to him about nerdy things I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN THEM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLlu_RpElBs
-
oh, nkotb . . . we don't even really know each other, but if you were here, we would talk about Rouge One, and how I went to see it last night for the first time. It is about to leave all theatres round these parts, so this was a shot at it.
I, well, uhm, I, liked it, not loved it, not "I am having a hard time putting this in the correct position of top 4 best Star Wars films of all time." It is difficult to say why I did not love worship it, like a kid might, like a die hard 'who cares fan' might. Maybe I demand the quality of what happened in the last 30 or so minutes of the film, to be a lot more throughout the Star Wars film. Thrill me from the first 10 minutes to the last. Yes you can have a story line developing, but this movie was too much of a build story to get to that point of "Go Go Go, ooh, are they going to make it" moments. And I did like the few nods to the next film, that popped up here and there.
-
1. Empire
2. Star Wars
3. Force Awakens
4. Return of the Jedi
5. Rogue 1
1,000. all 3 prequels

Hell, I might even put Rogue 1 higher than Return of the Jedi, because ROTJ sucks

when I first got on this board, I met nkotb at a dinosaur jr show at the club. I gave him a ticket for free, because I had an extra. he seemed nice and was quite cute. and he was into ween, when nobody on here was. and he was into star wars.
so I posted this thread with some ween news in the beginning . . . and it transformed into a star wars thread, for a long time after that.
the, end.

just saw it last night, at a pretty good theatre. I usually only see films, at the Alamo, but this place was a great alternative. Wanted to see it at the air and space museum in Dulles, but others were not down for that hassle.
I am not sure what to think yet, fully. I walked out, not even knowing it was 2 and half hours, like a giddy school,nerd . . . glowing in it all and really, really now coming to love kylo ren and the guy who plays him. I never, knew anything about him before force awakens. But, everyone, and I mean all of them, I went with, hated it from start to finish and thought it was the worst film of the entire series. my partner, even said, and I cringe, "give me Jar Jar over this shit."
So again, I am not sure what to really think. I will go see it again, and really pick it apart, and not watch it as a fan only, who had a few wonderful margaritas before they went.
-
It definitely left me walking out thinking. I felt I could have cut about 30-40 minutes of useless attempts at humor scenes out of it and it may have then been the best of the bunch - but it's a Disney movie now.
I also couldn't help but think if they had known about Carrie's death they would have done the whole Laura Dern thing differently (but of course, how could they have known).
I didn't hate it, but only liked, not loved it at this point. I would like to see it a few more times to get a more full impression of it's place in the series.

I liked Solo, and even more surprising so did The Brand. She liked it more than most other Star Wars movies...
It did poorly in the theaters because it's 6 months on the heels of The Last Jedi, rather than the annual Xmas release. Disney has gotten too big and has too much control of large productions. They are trying to spread Marvel/Star Wars/Disney Animated movies out to maximize profits and guessed wrong on Solo. I bet it would have done much better had they waited until December.

i wanted, to see it . . . but it falconed right out the theatre, before I had a chance to shoot first.

Much to my surprise, I quite enjoyed it as well. May be my favorite of the Disney efforts. It was certainly the most fun.
-
I liked Solo the least of all the post-Force Awakens movies. I just found zero connection between the young Solo and what he supposedly grew into for Star Wars, Empire, and Jedi. He was just some generic dude with a cocky smile and brash attitude and I was all, zzzzzzzzz.

I like using the moniker Swinger Jon F instead of Obama's Jon F....since Pod Save it stopped being appropriate.
And yes, Fett survives, but the new live action series will tie in the Mandalorians from Star Wars Rebels and sould be brilliant.

Disney announces dates for three new 'Star Wars' films and four 'Avatar' sequels (https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/07/media/disney-star-wars-avatar-movie-release/index.html)
-
I kind of wish they'd take a little more time between movies, but of course I'm super jazzed. I just hope it's unrelated to anything in the Skywalker saga. No more finding out that like Yoda lived on the same block as Mon Mothma when they were kids or any of that shit. Just do new stuff.
Also, we'll all be long dead before even one Avatar sequel comes out.

Am I the only one who finds three Avatar sequels getting greenlit bizarre? Who is clamoring for this? I get the first one was a mega-hit but that was -- what? -- a decade ago? I've heard exactly no one talk about Avatar in like 8 years. Who wants this? This feels like when Look Who's Talking made $250 million and they quickly decided they needed to make two more and the third one was such a dog they shot it to death in its kennel.
Is there some Avatar fan fiction community that is millions strong I am missing?
-
Someone (can't recall who) brought up the fact that Avatar is the top grossing movie of all time and left zero cultural influence. I agree...who even mentions this movie? I know I saw it, but most of what I recall of it came from some references in a 30 Rock episode. I do know that Disney built a section in their parks for it, but now that they're even further delayed, it just makes it that much funnier.
Also, its FOUR sequels.

True. Solo would have performed so much better had it followed the Christmas release pattern rather than the March release it was given. Now stretch that out to every 2 years.

False. Unfortunately.

FTFY
The technology used to make that scene didn't exist in 1978. That's why George made 4,5,6 and then 1,2,3.

Disney announces dates for three new 'Star Wars' films (https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/07/media/disney-star-wars-avatar-movie-release/index.html)
They have secured David Benioff and D.B. Weiss for the next trilogy.
For the uninitiated, they are the screen writing duo showrunners for Game of Thrones.

Awwww man I thought Rian Johnson was doing the trilogy and these guys were doing a show or something. Thats... not great news imo

so does NKOTB have to go see New Kids on the Block at Cap One on Tuesday?
-
LOL I got stuck with this screen name due to irony and I refuse to change it.
I came on the board after a Murder City Devils show where they cut the night short because someone threw a glass, got kicked out, and they demanded they be let back in. I came to the board to see people's reaction and someone compared the cancellation to being raped (IIRC). I thought the least punk think I could do was argue with that person with this screen name.

sounds like you need to attend this show and give us a blow by blow of the events

There's an extra beer on Smackie if you record and share the conversation with your Mrs about how you're going to see nkotb because your friends on the internet are basically daring you to go on their dime in exchange for live blogging it.

Uh, I don't need to get "cleared" for anything. I DO the clearing (yes, I got permission)

LOL unfortunately I already told her, and while I did get an initial look that screamed "you're a fucking idiot" it quickly turned to jealously when she realized Salt N Pepa and Naughty By Nature were on the bill as well.

We’re opening Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Dec. 5 at Walt Disney World Resort.
When it opens, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will blur the lines between fantasy and reality and will put guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. Guests will be recruited to join Rey and General Organa at a secret base. Along the way, they will be captured by a First Order Star Destroyer. With the help of some heroes of the Resistance, they break out and must escape the Star Destroyer, protect the secret base, and stay one step ahead of Kylo Ren.
As soon as work is completed at Walt Disney World, Imagineers will head back to California to complete their mission at Disneyland Resort where Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will open on Friday, Jan. 17.

interesting trailer # 2 for the new Star Wars. J,J seems to be doing all the right moves, and references back to original material. I do find it interesting, that if basing "excitement" on the number of views of the trailer on YouTube . . . nobody seems, to care. Some rapper picking his ass, is getting 10x move views than it, at this point.

She commented on how large it was, but that is was much cheaper than the Yves San Laurent/Google Jacard Backpack I sent her yesterday.
I immediately followed up with:

Was going to get it for my friend, but felt $99 was a little steep

i'd get one, but the new local brewery that opened a month ago has me covered (https://photos.app.goo.gl/WBcK9kmhtrStxHut6). the secondary theme of the brewery is star wars... they had a contest on their opening day: find the 5 lego star wars figurines hidden in the rafters.

took a little bit to get the free verizon ...but yeah...it is awesome
I"m glad we didn't get the whole series dumped in one day...I really hate binge watching or trying to avoid spoilers
Other than the Nat Geo content, there really wasn't a ton of other stuff I found very interesting being offered (although the pixar shorts are great)
gotta imagine there are a bunch of adults miffed that they were spending $25-50 per DVD and making a 50 disc collection that now is pissed they spent $1500 on these and now have zero resale value (hutch alert, gotta imagine the thrift shops will be flooded with Disney/marvel/pixar stuff on the cheap)
I know this isn't SW related...but His Dark Materials has been an excellent watch so far, the kids love it
-
Yup...dvds go for $1-$3
Same with bluerays
I still like buying certain things like hitchcock, woody Allen, Criterion, kids movies , music concerts
But even I have stopped myself from buying a lot of stuff

Agreed. Really looking forward to Ep 2 tomorrow (which I also have off).
Other than the Nat Geo content, there really wasn't a ton of other stuff I found very interesting being offered (although the pixar shorts are great)
Funny, after I watched the Mandalorian, I switched to the NatGeo stuff just for the views. I did notice a few Star Wars documentaries that I'm also going to watch, and I'm committed to catching up on Clone Wars before the new episodes are released. The Brand and mother-in-law (and presumably the baby at some point) will enjoy all of the rest.

It's not as if I haven't been warning people for years to stop buying tangible media. That being said, I did buy all 8 of the UHD Digital versions of the Skywalker sage before Disney+ was announced, though some were purchased with credits and gift cards. Yeah, kind of bummed about that, but because they are downloadable, there is some flexibility that I can enjoy there. The super low three year subscription price to D+ does help take the sting off.

I'd just like to chime in and say that seeing IG-88 breaking bad with blasters and a crew of Mandalorians flying in and taking out a crew of bounty hunters is the stuff of nkotb's dreams from about the age of 4 until last Friday.
-
IG-88, being a droid, has to return. With the same personality. And maybe a chip on it's soldier?
And staying true to the Mandalorian stories from The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels has been fantastic. It's always been one of my favorite story lines....
-
Yeah, I'd assume it's not the last we see of him, but fingers crossed we get some of the other bounty hunters from ESB.
I'll admit I'm pretty behind on Rebels and Clone Wars. The joy of having kids to watch this stuff with was quickly eclipsed by the fact that they'd wake up before me on weekends and watch several episodes without me. I need to catch up.

along the same lines, i've always been a fan of the Imperial Navy's TIE pilots (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TIE_pilot?file=TIE_Pilot_Sideshow.png). but Death Troopers look even cooler.

I'm back from sabbatical (drinking too many beers) so a few quick notes:
1) The placement of Bernie's mouth is...unfortunate, but I have no doubt my wife would wear that. She's a more toxic Bernie Bro than I am.
2) I would die for Baby Yoda, and since there was no merch for Xmas, my wife crocheted me one. It's fucking adorable.
3) Related, by my mother-in-law got me the space slug pen holder for Xmas. I'm an almost 42 year old man.
4) Rise of Skywalker...no thanks.

Directed by Deborah Chow, responsible for episodes 3 and 7 of The Mandalorian. Looking forward to it. And maybe JarJar dies in Ep 1.

I finally watched the final movie, after watching all other films before it back to back. plus, I have seen most of the cartoon the clone wars. the experience of doing it that way, was a great sensory completeness of fully wrapping it all up and appreciating the entire story. I didn't mind the people who came back in the final movie, the reveals of characters and the story line from start to arc to finish. my one complaint was really the way the emperor looked. I mean come on. Who cares that they didn't explain how he was there; we already know that story line; we needed him to look like the emperor to complete the whole reason he was there. The Snoke reveal was hokey I give it that . . . and my partner absolutely hates the actor who play s Kylo Ren. He is convinced the series would be that much better, with someone else in that role. I like him and feel he fits, fine.
A, not plus or minus, just A. Worst of the whole series is Solo, followed by The Clone Wars. Best of the series, is Empire followed by a tie of Return of the Jedi / Rogue One.
-
Just watched Empire again....this past weekend
Han’s “machismo” has worn thin...it’s just outdated

The Clone Wars are unwatchable IMO
Solo had some good moments, they could have shaved 45 mins and it would have been a better flick

Finally watched the prequel trilogy
The first two sucked
The guy cast to play Anakin in Clones/Sith was awful
Some of the dialogue was so bad
Sith is the better one
It definitely gets better from Phantom Menace on
The romantic scenes between Anakin and Padma (sic) are the worst..so bad
The younger OBI is also pretty awful..like meant to be Han Solo ish but just the stick in the mud part..none of the fun
-
Samuel L Jackson was totally misused in Clones, Sith
Best thing was the Chancellor/Emperor
-
What was the kid's review?...you are a little biased due to how you were introduced
I'm of the same opinion as you, but they were geared for more modern audiences
-
Sam Jackson, ruined everything; one of the only films I know, that he stars, where he brings every scene he is in, crashing down. All three prequels are good, clone wars was the least of the three, but all three had issues. Sith was great but the ending was, meh. Phantom was awesome to be back into the universe, even if the boy and jar jar stole the magic. why was the acting so bad? I just realized I have never seen a single film directed by Lucas, except these three. Is he, just a horrible, director?
Just allow, all 9 films to make up the franchise, and claim the place they are at as the story line from beginning to end with a treasure of characters to always have with you . . . because what choice do you have.
-
I thought the ending of Sith was the high point of the prequels
I mean unbelievable action and when Anakin loses his legs and they explain how Luke and Leia ended up how they ended was cool

There were new chapters in the Star Wars universe coming from a mile away — Disney Plus’ Rogue One prequel series, the Obi-Wan miniseries, the new Clone Wars show Bad Batch, and the rumored Boba Fett spinoff from The Mandalorian — but Lucasfilm loves a surprise, and the company had one for fans on Thursday at Disney’s 2020 Investors Day.
Patty Jenkins, whose next film, Wonder Woman 1984, will land in theaters and HBO Max on Dec. 25, will direct Rogue Squadron. You heard that correctly: The Rebel Alliance squadron founded by Luke Skywalker during the original saga timeline, carved out with plenty of EU over the years, will hit the big screen in a “future era of the galaxy,” according to Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy. The film is due at Christmas 2023.

...then Verizon will take that into account and stop paying for it in the future as it is not a differentiator to much of their client base leading to massive subscription drops for D+ when they do? Yes, that’s my point.

^ that meme covers a lot of ground... love it.

that meme is Star Trek related, and does not belong in this thread.

I mean I get it...but I think you two are the only two who know the dif between the war and the trek
we don't have a trek thread, so this will have to do until NKOTB comes back and challenges me to a duel at dawn to take it down

First episode was really good. The second one, less so. Haven't gone further than that.

Solid.

I loved The Mandalorian! Now I am watching Boba Fett, and somehow it feels rushed and not as polished / awesome as Mando. Two episodes in . . . should I continue to the end?
-
so my opinion is it is not as good as mando
and I liked it less towards he last 1/3 of the season, but I loved the first bunch of episodes
thing that pissed me off was the rainbow scooter gang, would think that would appeal to me on a lot of levels, but just annoyed me as it totally didn't work for me and seemed super cheesy
although Max Rebo and his band making an appearance was worth the price of admission
-
Two episodes in . . . should I continue to the end?
Watch it all the way through if you plan to watch Season 3 of Mando. About two thirds of the way through Boba Fett, it makes a hard pivot to Mando Season 2.5. They are important episodes for you to watch before season 3.

I enjoy this thread, when we talk about Star Wars. Thanks for the advice.
I did quite enjoy the story line of the Sand People, and the train.

Moved to the 27th (back to a Friday release) but we’ll get 2 episodes on the 27th instead of one in the 25th….

new Star Wars movie (ep10) currently being written/ideated. set after "rise of skywalker", but will be a stand-alone storyline and not a continuation of the skywalker saga. no immediate plans for a trilogy (yeah, right...). some old characters may resurface. earliest release date: Dec 2025.
A Secret Writers Room, a Rising Scribe and a Post-‘Skywalker’ Timeline: A Look Inside Damon Lindelof’s ’Star Wars’ Movie (Exclusive) (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/star-wars-inside-damon-lindelofs-movie-1235247453/)
Justin Britt-Gibson is penning the script with Lindelof, with the film potentially bringing back some characters from the 2010s films.
... and predictably enough, twitter ain't having it (https://twitter.com/THR/status/1584690846082793472) (my fav comment so far: "Best idea is that it opens with Luke Skywalker waking up from a bad dream that was the last trilogy and then he goes back to training Jedi.")

I’m not gonna lie
that’s some of the best fanfiction I’ve read

hmm this announcement and NKOTB's return to the board are a highly suspect coincidence
Three New Star Wars Movies Announced, Including the Return of Daisy Ridley’s Rey
I think bringing back Ridley was a smart move

link to the above headline, in case ya want the deets on the three upcoming movies. (https://consequence.net/2023/04/new-star-wars-movies-daisy-ridley-rey/) so the Rey movie = ep10. the prologue about the origin of the force sounds intriguing...

DONT YOU EVER PUT NERD WARS SHIT IN JA!!
(The proper spot is the NKOTB thread.)

Look...I have a Star Wars tattoo. I got picked on in middle school for reading the expanded universe novels (by the same people, mind you, at opening nights of the prequel movies waving lightsabers. I'm not bitter!). I have a closet full of Star Wars merch. And even I wouldn't have stayed at that hotel. What a horrible idea!

so I know that trek stuff isn't supposed to be here...but part of the NKOTB ethos is IDGAF

also still pissed off about this and of all the atrocities Disney did to the franchise...this tops the list for me
