Other Collectibles / Re: HasLab Reva FX Elite Lightsabers
« on: July 12, 2022, 07:42 PM »
I plan to buy all and only 3.75 Haslab. That being said if every Haslab SW offering going forward were to be 3.75 I may have to skip some things for sake of space and my wife's wrath. I don't know if Hasbro has been trying to play to different groups of collectors (of course there's overlap) but I appreciate it. That being said that only works if they make better choices on front end.

I got my Lando from EE today. Makes me happy anytime I get something Donald Glover related.

I feel the jocks are totally an 80s thing. They also played a big roll in Lucas's development this season. I also got the Frank Herbert Paul Atreides look how dangerous a smooth talking good looking leader can be vibe.

I also have learned I watch TV much differently than other people. I don't know if I just don't care about small plot devices or if I'm not smart/observant enough to catch them. Never even crossed my mind what Robin did to get to Nancy and Steve's conversation.

I really liked the closure I felt Eleven and Brenner got in E8. I guess I should say closure Eleven got in leaving Brenner without any.

I could have done without the jocks but I also think they served their purpose well.

They've already announced that season 5 will have a significant time leap.

I thought this season was brilliant. Probably better than S1 but I'll always like S1 most as it's 1. Kinda like ANH over ESB.

I was super impressed with so many of the actors this season

You'll clearly note I stated Disney Star Wars because of course you love pre Disney Star Wars or you wouldn't be here to post at all.

You can use your "I can't take any criticism" nonsense if you like. I'm more than happy to criticize too. There's plenty of criticism in this thread from everyone but youll notice i only felt the urge to say something as douchey as this to good old Diddly. If i think someone's criticism is without merit I'll say something. IE Dave's comment about lightsaber wounds, the idea that because in ep2 obi wan got destroyed by Vader it nullified vaders words on death star, etc but not with the (probably uncalled for) vitriol as my response to you. But when 95% of your posts are about how today's Star Wars sucks then that's my trigger. Or my lesser annoyance is the I'll only share my 50% dislike and never what I do like.

I wish Disney and Hasbro were doing a better job. But they aren't as terrible as you want them to be. The person ie you who loves the old stuff and only wants to hate the new stuff is the only thing that takes my joy from Star Wars so you and I will never get along. I don't need you to agree with me. But when I see Diddly posted something new and know it's gonna be about why this sucks or why it ruined Star Wars then yep I will always have a problem with that person.

I will agree with you that I am a crappy internet poster. It's so much easier to have a civil debate in person. My posts suck because they typically disagree with someone, but that's not the same as not being able to criticize or handle someone else's criticism.

I'm going to let this go as it's derailed this thread that's had some really good positive and negative thoughts today by a group of people who only ask for a low bar Star Wars show  (sorry the last part was me being an a$* again)

We should also all know that's how SW fans determine what's good and what sucks. Whether it fits our expectations. I think I would have been very bored with your version Diddly.

That’s all fine with me, man. Frankly I was pretty underwhelmed by what we got with this series, and I’m pretty disappointed in how it ruins a lot of lore of the OT. Maybe by voicing my displeasure, one day the bar for good Star Wars content will be raised. Maybe not. We’ll see.

Yes the if I tell everyone how much it all sucks Disney will stop sucking reasoning for hating it all and telling us all how much you hate it. Your OWK take wouldn't bother me if you ever liked anything Star Wars. And again with the hyperbole. It was a six episode mini series. It didn't ruin any OT lore.

I apparently am too dumb to see how low the Star Wars bar you mention is

I'm then typically told I love everything Disney because I don't hate everything Disney.

Off the top of my head the timeline for Reva to get from Vader leaving her to Tatooine was as terrible as it gets, but I liked her arc so whatever. Though that's risky by Obi-Wan to assume she won't have another change of heart.

"You couldn't gather the strength to watch episodes 4 and 5?" Jesus Christ. Again so much hyperbole and drama.

I loved the finale. I'll give the show a B overall. The show was exactly what I expected. We should also all know that's how SW fans determine what's good and what sucks. Whether it fits our expectations. I think I would have been very bored with your version Diddly.

Wouldn't being run through with a lightsaber be just like taking a bullet? Depends on what it hits on way through? I agree therefore after 1st "stab" you should go in for 2nd, 5ths, Xths.

Still never thought it was 4lom post the episode

Never said it was, Nick.  Being a bit argumentative today?

Nope just seldomly agree with you Steve

I guess I was just piggybacking off my response to McMetal that 99% of people thought it was 4LOM.

I'm not sure it was predictable as much as they hint/told us it was going to happen.

But didn't he get shot? Seemed obvious it wasn't 4-LOM I thought.
