If I wanted to watch angry nerds rant on about their butthurt on a YouTube video,I'd go to YouTube.





Anyway, I'm way behind on Rebels, but I'm desperately hoping for an Ahsoka vs Vader fight.

It'll happen ... they could make it even more emotional if she discovered the truth about Vaders origins though.

We should talk about Rebels, or the comics ... the comics are good. I especially like the idea of psychotic astromech and protocol droids.

The droid in The Force Unleashed was a bit nuts.
Blue Max from the Han Solo was a bit glitchy too I guess.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Blue_Max

The name of the other main droid in the Han Solo books is a bit unfortunate in the same way Erector or Slag or Sp**tic are as his name is Bollux I suspected Brian Daley was Trolling his edit seeing if he'd catch it and didn't if not for the fact the character is called Zollux in the original UK print run that came out 1st.

To an American ear to Bollux something up is nothing to rude where as the English Bollocks is much coarser which the word sounds like so to change it if it was originally fine make zip sense to me - I wonder how and why that happened.

For a Change of pace how about a Video "Book review" :

Incidentally the points I was looking to discuss and either confirm or debunk were originally from here :

Someone has already had a go at debunking them ...

But it's an interesting mix of points some you can answer with external knowledge and some are actually misunderstandings...

But as I often say that people misunderstand things isn't always their fault if the writing doesn't explain things adequately enough.


Anyway If you have a few minutes to kill check the video out or the above links and see what you think.

As for Rebels - I'd say it likely deserves it's own thread as then there is no worries about spoilers for anyone who has yet to catch up on all the eps.

well.....noone's stopping you from making a Rebels thread

I'm not sure a fight like that would fit into rebels confines, cause we all know only one would walk away from it (the other just might vanish leaving only clothes behind)

Also I don't see the reason for a rebels thread when this thread exists as an all purpose thread.

Though I don't think there's anything left to say about the force awakens that hasn't already been said.

Exactly. Rebels can be discussed here, there's no need for its own thread. It's the current media and Force Awakens has definitely been discussed extensively, so much so it just seems to be about posting videos from some vbloggers giving their opinions of it.

I never did understand why films like star wars get snubbed at the Oscars but then again I don't understand the Oscars half the time anyway. So there's been more talk and speculation about episode 8 from the limited things we've had to go on, including talk about poor Finn's condition at the end of force awakens (my favourite of which is the talk of him getting cybernetic implants to fix the damage on his back and becoming a force user. Go go jedi cyborgs! Not that he'd be the first of course..)

Still, I expect a teaser for 8 before rogue one.

[Shadowman]

I don't understand the Oscars half the time anyway.

It's kind of like the People's Choice Awards, but in this case "people" applies only to actors, directors, writers, etc. etc. That's why it's such a big deal to people who work in film, it's basically all of your peers getting together and say you did the best this year. (Or that you were in the top 5, hence why they say "it's an honor just to be nominated")

[Stuartmaximus]

latest Rebels was really good!

you had Ahsokawho from her vision...now knows Anakin is Vader, Yoda, Vader, The Inquisitors in it

surprised to see Master Inquisitor in this as a kind of good guy, even though he was fighting Kanan.

[RAR]

If Finn was sliced vertically up his back but it missed his spine then the damage would have been limited to partially severed back ribs and a burn on his rear facing organs like say one lung and a kidney.

I don't think Kylo cut him horizontally - but the fights were so choppy I really couldn't tell what the heck was going on half the time anyway.

Frankly they don't have to make a big deal about it just give him a scar and have him cough a couple of times - job done.

There are way more important things to worry about that Finn's injuries. Heck I have a Shopping list of them.

[ZeroWolf]

I could tell what was going on in that fight crystal clear and kylo ren hit him diagonally across his spine.

If they want to turn him into a force sensitive cyborg because of this then more power to them!

[Shadowman]

The fight wasn't choppy at all, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Yes, we know you do.

I'll just leave this here for my fellow Ashoka fans.

[Burn]

That's gonna punch right in the feels.

[Ironhidensh]

Vader is going to kill her. We all know it, but can we accept it?

[ZeroWolf]

I don't know about vader killing her, this is still the rebels cartoon after all unless she dies like obi wan and just leaves her clothes behind and then bugs the rebels crew as a force ghost

[Burn]

Vader is going to kill her. We all know it, but can we accept it?

Not at first. Once I stop crying like a Madeus Prime though I'm sure I'll come to accept it.

[Stuartmaximus]

so............how many times are you gonna be watching The Force Awakens when you get it on either DVD or Blu Ray?

+ it can't be that long now til it's out on those

[ZeroWolf]

It's out on 15th April I hear, or around that date

[Burn]

Yeah ... three weeks (13th in Australia)

[SW's SilverHammer]

I get mine on April 5th

[Stuartmaximus]

could Ewan be making a Ben Kenobi Anthology movie?

Star Wars Rebels ...

So the confrontation many of us have been waiting for finally happened as Ahsoka came face to face with Darth Vader and the truth of who he is.

But not before the return of (Darth) Maul!

Overall it felt like a lacklustre season finale, Kanan is left blinded, Ezra is toying with the dark side, and Maul is presumed dead.

And then there's Ahsoka, her fate, like Mauls, is left open. We see Vader surviving the destruction of the Sith temple (no surprise) but we see no evidence of Ahsoka. Is she dead? Or will she return to confront Vader once more (knowing the truth)?

I hope to see her return, there needs to be one more final confrontation between them. Ahsoka has been a great character and deserves her story to be completed.

I felt pretty much the same. After all the build up, it kinda fell a little short. I have heard, however, that there are some plans to possible bring Ahsoka back in movie 8 or 9 as a fan nod. I kinda hope that doesn't happen.

I also hope it doesn't happen, even as a throw away reference. It's sort of like the rumours about how snoake was going to be mentioned in rebels, giving hints about who he is. How many years is this supposed to be before a new hope? I saw the princess leia ep again and I'm still confused about the timeline...and where they'll claim erza and Kanan were when luke was busy being awesome.
