Christmas in the stars...
Star Wars christmas album exists, and has warped my brain since childhood!
At first listen, it is horrific, but slowly begins to brainwash you until i can honestly say it is one of my favorites! I own multiple copies. Listen on youtube (alcohol can help) May the force be with you.......merry x-mas to all. |

I haven't seen the new one yet; I just wanted to share this story from when Revenge of the Sith came out:
At the time, I was in fifth grade, and one of my neighbors was the head of the Star Wars division for Hasbro. (Side note: He has one of the largest collectons of Star Wars and GI Joe action figures in the country; if anyone went to the USS Intrepid Museum about ten years ago when they had a GI Joe exhibit, that was part of his collection). Anyways, he was able to get tickets for me and my dad to see Revenge of the Sith about a week before it was released to the public. For a whole week, I was the Dos Equis man at school, because I knew what happened. They printed out special tickets for it, and I'm pretty sure mine is still around somewhere if I can exhume it from my room.

Crash landing on desert planet - check
Droid carrying secret plans - check Plans must be delivered to the rebels - check Stormtroopers torching a homestead - check Escaping on the Falcon - check Cantina scene - check Bad guy in a black mask - check Jedi hermit in hiding - check Rescuing the girl from the bad guys - check Old guy dies - check Death Star with vulnerable flaw - check Flying through Death Star trench - check Death Star minutes away from destroying rebel base - check Death Star exploding - check I think JJ Abrams just watched the original 1977 Star Wars movie and said "Lets remake that and call it a day." |

Knowing JJ Abram's propensity to just rehash and repackage other movies, we can probably predict the plot of the next installment.
Inexperienced Jedi seeks out Jedi master for training. Inexperienced Jedi rushes off to save friends before training is complete. Confronts bad guy in black mask before they are fully ready. Gets hand chopped off. Surprise ending when Jedi finds out she's related to bad guy in black mask. I think if we want an original Star Wars move, the anthology movie series coming out next year might be good. I have high hopes anyway. We'll see. |

I hate that everything is so convenient in the movie how things related to each other..i was waiting on Fin being related to Lando.... isn't it easier to blow up something before they finish making it..you figure they had to know halfway through that something was up....just like the partial death star.. also hate how a former stormtrooper can fight a jedi pretty equal for awhile....took skywalker a lot longer to be that good...

We've seen the movie twice so far (amazing what you pick up the 2nd time around; i.e. dialogue), and seeing it twice helped with the lightsaber flashback/forward sequence with Rey. I thought the film very good. Much better than the prequels, and much better written, directed, and acted. I find it amusing that Lucas is now flaming the movie; with quotes such as "I would not have done it that way" and Disney is a "white slaver." When he was paid billions for the franchise, he walked away from it, and Disney had NO obligation to go with any of his future treatments, ideas, etc. Actually, Episode VII is a much better movie in part BECAUSE Lucas is not part of the equation....

I liked the new one, but to me the most interesting thing happened within the first 10 minutes. The only part of the movie that really left an impression on me was when Fin saw his friend die and decided he couldn't be a storm trooper anymore. To me, there's your movie. What was Fin's life as an anonymous numbered soldier and how did he come to break away from it? What made his experience different that he rebelled?
But of course that movie might have less explosions and no need for a droid. Last edited by packs; 04-08-2016 at 09:39 AM. |

I always loved that show...Dr. Kirk was very witty.
