I'm so excited for this that I may actually watch Transformers 3 when it airs on basic cable.

Red Letter Media's spoiler heavy review sums up the film well to me (and without going much into technology stuff).
As for wanting to hate? I'm glad there's life left in Star Trek. I wish it were more than a new movie every 4 years, but at least it's something.
Letting our heroes escape with Leia was part of Vader's plan...the homing beacon...they can't escape if they are shot dead, can they?

If you want to call out gaps in realism or probability, I'd bring up things like the crack stormtroopers' inability to hit anyone...

The Prequel Trilogy / Re: Lucas and Kasdan hashing out Anakin's backstory in 1981

I knew that Palpatine was never going to the Emperor's name. It was supposed to be "Richard M. Nixon".

Luke gave into his hatred in ROTJ, and that made him stronger...until he came to his senses. The force was always strong within in him, anyway.

Again, there's maybe 2 good Trek films.
Anakin was great lightsaber fighter....maybe (his only victory was against Dooku)...Vader is quadruple amputee that can barely breathe with life support armor. We only see Vader see battle a martyr-happy old Obi-Wan and an barely trained Luke. NONE OF THE EU MATTERS....it's what we saw on screen. It's not a strecth to say that Yoda or Kenobi, even 20 years after ROTS, could've chopped Vader's cyborg ass into bits and pieces....but Anakin's part of the prophecy had to be fufilled.
. Look at Vader vs. Luke in ROTJ. As far as we were shown, when Luke fights Vader on the Death Star II, this is only the second time he has ever dueled another person. Yet, he kicks the crap out of one of the best lightsaber fighters of all time. Not too logical or realistic especially considering his very limited Jedi training. The only lightsaber training we see is with the remote in ANH.

They should've gotten Tom Cruise.

This is just as good and will be fun to see even more nods to the OT. It is funny how almost all of LFL is gravitating further and further away from the PT and moving more and more towards the cash cow that is the OT. I can't believe Hasbro doesn't seem to follow suit.
Hasbro had the script flipped on them when CW got cancelled and this year's 3D prequel releases were pulled.

« on: May 22, 2013, 12:56 PM »I've never watched the movie... That actually was what got my brother into the series. Is it worth a look to entice one to it?
I took, seriously, a Lord of the Rings class this upcoming semester... I kid you not. Finally leisure reading with a visual end-result too.
You think that's strange? A college near around here offers a degree in Wyrven's Studies.

The Black Series 3.75" Figures / Re: The Future of Star Wars Collecting?

So, it's pretty much like how Toys R Us has been for the past 2 years.

Movie Heroes / Saga Legends '12-? / Re: 2013 "Mission Series" Figure 2-Packs

Couldn't disagree more. If they are only going to make a character once, go all the way.
Anyway, back to the packs. How is Jango blue again? Why are only limited articulation Jango's blue and super articulated ones purple?
Vader's a strange mix of soft good and not. Looking at him, I think his legs may be one solid piece, as in they will not move individually but as one like the old Clash of the Titan's Charon figure (only example I can think of)...oh, or like a Playmobil figure.

Gag. Those appear to be the Saga era Battle Droids, not the MTT/Class 1 set version. Hasbro self sabotages again.
Nice stripe on the 501st trooper's leg....oh, wait, there isn't one.
Triggers guards are gone on clone blasters. They really wanted a retro look!

« on: May 21, 2013, 08:12 AM »Can't get excited for this, mainly because I don't get Disney XD.
If it's as good as the first few seasons of Clone Wars though, I'll snag the DVD/Blu-Ray
I don't get Dizzy XD, either. They put Clone Wars episodes online after they aired...of course that was before the

At least it's not set between Episode 1 and Episode 2.
Maybe Starkiller will appear.
This seems like a natural progression, but CW needed a better ending.
