I still don't think there is really any credible explanation for where all the Tarkin/She/Starkiller wave went. I have seen tons of Malgi and INC's by comparison. Unless they only made like 500 of that wave, it just doesn't make sense.

Going back farther, where did the Bastilla and Echo Base Trooper wave go? Overseas? I've more or less written them off for all time.

Carded figures finally appear.

That's the first I've seen of them, if someone has a better link, go for it.

Is he even considered a celeb anymore? Isn't he more of a retired C-list actor?

Tabloids loooove to kick 'em while their down, though. Hell, that's where they get their "best" stuff.

If I were a celeb and I knew that nutcase tabloids followed me around, I'd probably act as digusting as possible, too.

I think acceptance of them helps...  Ignore the crap, enjoy the good.

My gf still laughs her ass off when Padme falls out of a fast moving vehicle in the sky onto a sand dune, and demurely rolls looking like a sleeping angel...  then boom, up and barking orders.

LMAO.

Lucas you tard.

Around that time (before):

Anakin: "SHoot him down!"

Clone Pilot "We're out of rockets, sir!"

Obi-Wan: "Then use your lasers!"

Clone Pilot: "Then the movie would over, sir!"

Anakin: "I don't care!!!"

Hasbro's been self-sabotaging for sometime now....the glut of Phantom Menace product shows that. Did Lucasfilm insist they push it that much, despite, oh, the glut from the original 1999 release that  eventually stalled the SW line back when  more people were buying SW than today.

Going further back and comic packs with subpar molds (for a mostly collector aimed series) and re-reshipping the Marvel comic packs.

Oh, and 3 Geonosian speeder to 1 rebel yavin transport cases.

Probably a lot more. Their refusal to mass release army builder friendly battle packs for the longest time or reissue ones that were wanted.

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.

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

 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?

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

Even gimped, a Sith Lord with full Jedi training and 20+ years under Palpatine can't match a kid with maybe a month's worth of training, with almost zero lightsaber training? 

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. 

Quote from: EdSolo on May 22, 2013, 10:05 PM
.  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.

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.
