At the risk of kicking off a shitfight again - I was walking today and saw a guy with a tie fighter T-Shirt and then I checked the T-Shirt of the guy next to him, the whole T-Shirt was taken up with "FUCK YOU RIAN JOHNSON".
I cracked up laughing at him and he smiled at me, I assume he assumed I was laughing in support.
Anyway, it was funny, and the two of them were both fatter and shorter (doesn't happen often) than me so I was a happy chappy walking away.
Very sad, i pity them. They clearly have had their childhood destroyed.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't have a go at me and @Rancid-Schnitzel when we're just trying to hang out and have a good time.
It crossed my mind but I think I've heard you both boasting about your height and Adonis bodies so I figured it wasn't you two.
It's the internet. I'm short and pudgy in real life.
Don't sell yourself short to make these dudes feel better.
I am a short arse but it wasn't me because there's no farking way I'll be going to Sydney anytime soon.
I wonder where you get those shirts from....
Solo will be free soon, so will be sure to give my much anticipated review.
You could have really stuck it to them by illegally downloading it.

Yes, but that would require some effort on my behalf.
On another note. Any thoughts on the new animated series with the original characters. Very unsure about that one. Don't like it when they mess around with the OT.

Oh, I haven't heard anything about this - is this for the new Disney streaming service?

Hmm. Saw some clips but can't find any more info. Maybe a fan thing? It looked like a Clone Wars type thing. Timeline between ONH and ESB.
There's also a rumour about them casting the original characters, but that must be bullshit. Then again they remade Star Trek. Why not Star Wars?

There is a rumour floating around that George Lucas is going to direct the Obi Wan film.
As long as he doesn't write it.
-
@tim said in Star Wars VII ****contains spoilers****:
@kirwan :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:
You nerds deserve that and more.
I tried to be as neutral as possible with that sentence. The Last Jedi shows there are worse things than old man Lucas SW films.
In other news, Discovery just got an increased order for more episodes...
-
@kirwan Eh, just one more episode.
Apparently Netflix dropped the price per episode that they'll pay for that awful show, so they've got to squeeze out more money from the fixed costs (sets etc).
In good news:
“It’s an extremely different rhythm than Discovery, Discovery is a bullet. Picard is a very contemplative show. It will find a balance between the speed of Discovery and the nature of what Next Gen was, but I believe it will have its own rhythm.”
“More grounded’ is not the right way to put it, because season 2 of Discovery is also grounded. It will feel more … real world? If that’s the right way to put it.”
Maybe they'll even show problems getting solved, rather than having a "genius" "strong female" character just pull a particularly dumb rabbit out of a hat.

The New Generation was always pulling rabbits out of hat, usually at the last minute. Same on the original series.
How is the new character any different from (shut up) Wesley?
-
@kirwan Nope. We've been through this before, with examples. On the old show the writers would actually work through a problem, not just announce that it had been solved. Of course it was hand wavy, almost all sci-fi was, but it was part of a story.
Wesley wasn't the main character. Another poor attempt to defend a truly awful show.

Any thoughts about the Orville. I thought it was a ST parady but it's just a blatant St rip-off. Seth Macfarlane has had more work done to his appearance than Darth Vader.

Homage is the right word. I like that too, sometimes really felt like TNG with the odd Family Guy type gag.
I enjoyed that too.
