News Round Up 2017

I've said this before...

The real miscalculation was that everyone wanted to see their heros again and Lucas screwed up by not doing the sequels in 99...the backstory could have been done at any time..

But look up video from circa 2000...particularly fisher...and that was still Princess Leia.

What they put out there now simply was not. They could have done the crossover more effectively then. But george was stupid and wanted to put bad video games on screen.

Now what a mess...prequels that are awful (sorry...I know kids played with those toys...but they are simply bad movies. It's not one of these "personal preference" things)...and this current mess.

We never saw the big three together on screen again! Thanks, JJ...you got one shot and you pooched it.

If the whole point was to "find Luke"...I think you could have worked it a tad better.

Now this fisher mess...and there was all this lamentation when it happened...but when i saw the toxicology, the sympathy declined significantly.

But what have they done with Ep 8? Fisher was supposedly supposed to Be key to 9...how's that working? Terrible - it seems.

And please...dear god...no chump write off for Hamill.

Hamill IS Star Wars...that can't be overstated. Don't Do It!!!

I'm pretty convinced Luke is gonna die off in the December movie. No insider scoop or anything, but just a hunch

Me too...which means the end of Star Wars.

The Ford thing was so telegraphed. JJ Obvious signature move.

Nothing they've introduced is strong enough to carry this boat..

Disney will likely get Johnny depp and Robert Downey jr involved...before they go the way of fisher.

Well, at some point he needs to die and become a force ghost to be with Obi wan and Yoda and Anikan. Could happen in 8 or 9 though

He does? Has to die?

It made sense in the first go around...all the characters were strong.

This group isn't close to that level as it stands. Only really ren...and everyone hates him

I'm hoping that SW:GE pulls from Rebels and Clone Wars. I think one of the reasons Rebels, somewhat with Clone Wars, and even Rogue One work well is that not everything is focused on Skywalkers. Other characters are flushed out with rather compelling stories. And, when they vere away from Skywalkers, they don't have as much baggage to deal with. There is more room to play with the story. They can't do that as much with the main movies. But I'm hoping Last Jedi brings in elements from Rebels and Clone Wars. I'd like to see some of the characters too, but we will see.

This has been my complaint with SW lately. There are way more people in the universe than Skywalkers and Solos and their friends. Why in the world the movies won't go way back and do a big Sith/Jedi war is beyond me. I think that is why I liked Rogue One so much. New characters. I know it's shocking but I don't need Jedi or lightsabers in my SW movies. Hell, I've been arguing for a Rogue Squadron movie/tv series forever (Rogue Squadron after Luke).

I thought it was going to be one of the main three per movie. But now, who knows.

I have been wondering if they will make Luke or Rey the main villain. Unless Snope is really ramped up in this next film there is just no major villain. Don't even try to tell me whiny Kylo is a villain, he can't even best newcomer Rey with a lightsaber. Luke would own him, he is not much of a threat.

I'll move off this thread as requested. Party over on the abrams thread, everybody!

...then we're going streaking...through the quad, into the gymnasium!

Shut your mouth. I LOVE Kylo Ren.

BTW, lol, have you read this bit about ESPN? https://www.newyorker.com/culture/c...in-trumps-rowdy-america?mbid=social_facebook? I don't care about sportsball, but I did read this one, due in large part to the WDW impact.

I read that and my first reaction is that is a ridiculous take - or at least ridiculous that the reason cited is the main downfall of ESPN ... then I just saw another article posted by the Ringer about the topic and at least 50% of the comments were about how what was cited in the New Yorker article is the problem with ESPN, so what do I know :confused3

Personally I think the big problem with ESPN is that 10 years ago you basically had to have it to be in the loop on major sporting news and they had all the experts and that was the only way to hear from them .... now with Twitter and and a bunch of other entities that have experts that are just as good or better that you can hear from directly, you don't need Sportscenter, so no issue not having it when you cut the cord

Plus they started to think they were bigger than the games themselves and that their "starts" were as big as the athletes.
 
I actually think that they are dead on...I never watch espn anymore except for the rare times they have an ACTUAL GAME on that is interesting...I'll look at their website a couple times a week to scan the headlines...

But they are a lighting rod. Their programming has become cheap (due to lost revenue) and is catering to fanbase that's not gaining in popularity in the current environment.

They are often a lighting rod for the Wrong Wing...used as an easy rallying point for the followers. Espn does itself no favors there...for sure...but even sportstalk has spent the last couple years talking about espn politics at least once a week.

We live in the era of misdirection.

I had read pretty positive reviews of the breakfast there, but really wasn't much time as was really only offered from 9am to 10am .... Wonder if they might ever offer a paid early morning hours that included breakfast and access to the rides in the future

Until he posted that...I didn't know the place existed.
