I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

We know. But they're all dead!

Why cap it at five when there are so many wonderful members here? Anyways, with help from the lovely JW Fan social extension that is the the Discord I've become good friends with a number of folks.

Nobody hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans

I dunno, with the OT, you at least had a sense of time passing. We never felt that Luke didn't earn it or that the force was handed to him on a silver platter.

Which one is Neutral Good?

The Ten Commandments is on ABC, like it is every Saturday night before Easter. Someone needs to do a supercut of every time Charlton Heston says the word "bondage."

This has probably been done before, but I wanted to re-create the Original Trilogy's vinyl covers.

I imagine it and Avatar will get UHD releases when Avatar 2 comes out next year.

You’re alright.

Paging Williams for the appropriate and neccesary concert suite: Jey's Theme.

I'd say they are!

I'm waiting on an EMU Proteus 2000, and I'm really excited! I'm seeing a lot of people say it's dated and geared towards hip-hop, but I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of stuff I can wrangle out of it in a very different context.

Y'all just need to stop whining and wait for the 35th anniversary rerelease. I guarantee you they'll find previously undiscovered sources, and Schindler's List will sound better than ever!

It was of course Lucas' plan all along. Really, when everything else does?

The thing is, Rey seems so unusually powerful, it seems highly unlikely that the force never manifested in her before. I think it's only common sense to question that.

I'm 100% positive they will change the story in Ep9 to make her that yes. And I will laugh. So her personality traits are she's too nice? She believes her parents care about her because she's so nice and forgiving. She believes Kylo can be good because she's so nice and forgiving, which is utterly pathetic because about a day before that, she witnessed him murder his own father, brutally wound her friend Finn, and she even fought him in a lightsaber duel... Even what people describe as her faults are actually positives. She's too nice...

Two distinctions: one, it was in his second film: Rey pulled off a similar thing in her first film. Two, unlike The Last Jedi which starts in medias res right after The Force Awakens, in The Empire Strikes Back its been a few years and I believe the text crawl states quite clearly that Luke served with the Rebels throughout. Without trying to write the films for the filmmakers, you naturally expect him to pick up a few things between entries. Besides, even if that were true, two wrongs don't make a right.

There's no doubt Rey is overpowered for a heroine. I don't think anyone would disagree there. The question of how much one is bothered by it depends on the individual.

What is an unarmed old man who cut himself off from the Force supposed to do against a lightsaber? STOP. WRITING. THE. MOVIE. AGAINST. THEM.

Well Luke barely had any training.

Yeah, sometimes it's better to just read the textbooks rather than following some boring lectures. I'm surprised she didn't just get the ebooks, though.

Hey! That’s my line!

I understood that reference!

So to you, if a film is two hours long, the story has to take place during two hours in the world of the film? There cannot be any jumps in time?

Ah, Hagrid the Phoenix!

The immersion would be much greater if nobody was walking around in modern Muggle clothes in HPLand. Put robes over everyone who enters and take it back when they exit or something! Maybe they could even purchase it to keep. People who bring their own get 10% off the ticket. Same with SWLand, give everyone an immersive poncho!

Wow. And these are hard to make. They look professional and top quality. nice work!

This will suffice, for now.

Quite good indeed. Really dig how they make the transition between the established chill guitar based mood to the synth driven second half.

This is a perfect song. I completely forgot how much I loved this song 10 years ago. It blindsided me in a random shuffle. At 2:14 the world melts away.

How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World and Solo: A Star Wars Story Karol

Chen, if you're gonna tell a dude to lighten up, don't get engaged with them in a debate on the nuances of multi-part narrative fifteen minutes later.

Definitely this season, and whilst I didn't like the skynet plot, I thought their mission and sacrifice to protect the sphere data by sending it into the future was a little nod to thinking about more than warships and and phaser fights. In TNG each episode was a little parable where both the crew and the people they encounter are run through moral dilemmas and questions of ethics whereas Discovery is this long season arc that works in it's own way. I feel like the end of this season should allow the next one to allow Discovery to explore the future, and kind of adopt that familiar Trek vibe of entering a new scenario or focusing on each of the characters. So, in time I think it can shape up to become a good Trek series although I should add that everyone's going to take away different aspects of the show that they associate with Trek and won't accept some of Discovery's questionable antics.

He's just surviving, Mr. Justin, just surviving.

The scene they have in The Last Jedi portrays them as brother and sister way better than any of the other movies. It's like John Williams wrote the theme for it three decades beforehand!

It never felt natural or logical to me.

Its dumb!

Oh man, this is really good! Thanks!

Good lord, these are good. You really should show your work to the studios (or whoever they hire); this is truly stellar stuff.

I've changed the original post above for the updated covers with the original poster logos And, here's another fun cover for Return/Revenge of the Jedi:

Its easy to be disenchanted with the Star Wars franchise because Star Wars is beyond great. ESB is also great. Half of Jedi is good, there are interesting parts in the mostly bad Phantom Menace, aotc is a recipe for garbage and rots is film diarrhea. TFA is a nostalgic love song and TLJ is half terrific and half aotc/rots bad. Rian (its Ryan you tard) Johnson surprises no one in his mediocrity as a filmmaker. I will give him props for a great ending bleak and somber. People commit suicide for less.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! Saving all these!

I didn't proofread this one. I don't know who did.
