In hindsight I hate this show so much. It's so damn cheap.

Jungle hair is only interesting in an exotic curio or savage kind of way, OP.
Not that I would ever condone miscegenation for those reasons...
I don't know, I'm weird I guess.

Some races can be terrible.
I know, right? A hundred different girls could go by, and they would all look exactly the same.

Earlier, TBlocks and I were discussing the factor of race as it applies to how attractive we find others. I said that, while on average I am mostly attracted to Caucasian women, I find pretty colored women to be extremely attractive, to a greater degree than attractive white women. This is a good example. In my opinion, she's more or less a 9-10/10. I would consider her to be more attractive than her Caucasian counterparts. I don't really know why, I suppose I like the way darker skin tones look. I also think that natural black women's hair (that curly, vaguely afro-shaped look in the above image) can look quite pretty if done well. As for racial categories I find generally less attractive, I have never thought Asian features to be particularly stunning. Tblocks and I were interested as to the rest of Sep7agon's thoughts on the topic. Does race play a part in how attractive you find others? If so, how great of a factor is it? What races, and general racial features, do you find aesthetically appealing? Furthermore, aside from certain distinctive racial features what other physical characteristics do you find to be beautiful, such as eye color, hair color, length, style, etc?

Oh, and this lady, Crystal Clarke, played a resistance dispatch operator in TFA. I remember her cathing my eye when I saw the film.

I can't remember her name but the one girl that starred in the most recent Romeo & Juliet was incredibly cute.
you're not talking about that baz luhrmann film are you
Was that the Leo DiCaprio version?
yes
He could have just said "the awful one" and I would've known exactly which one he was talking about

Just approach her when she's alone and get her number. If she says anything about a boyfriend just say "yeah but are you happy with him ;^)".
How do you pronounce ;^) ?
"Please love me I'm so alone"

Still upset they gave him pupils.
Eh, it would have been really hard for him to emote, given that he was appearing in an animated TV series.

Alright listen here you little shits.
TFU was fucking great and you can all eat a dick.
The gameplay was OK but everything else, especially the story, was utter garbage.

•It ruined TFU
How? They're so unrelated.
Totally fucked over the existence of Galen Marek.
I'll have to watch it again and make exact notes of how and when, been a while since I've seen it.
but Galen Marek is a shitty fanfic protagonist. He's like a well drawn deviantart OC

It was done very poorly in Rogue One and was a lazy attempt to use an already established villain as a crutch.
I disagree, the plot of Rogue One was very closely entangled with Tarkin's grab for power and plot to replace the senate through direct fear.
If he hadn't been in the film, his shadow would've been looming over it so heavily we would only feel like something was missing.
The film itself was, unironically, a mistake. His relevance to the plot changes nothing; we learned nothing in Rogue One that we didn't already know about him from ANH, and the film fails to decide who the villain is. Vader is already established and does almost nothing but give fan service at the end; Tarkin is also established, and has almost no bearing on the plot except to fill that hole that you describe; Krennic neatly fits into the role of Generic Ambitious Bad Guy rendered impotent by the two most significant villains in the series.
Really, it's kind of disappointing how well-received Rogue One was. It had a neat space battle, but it was so full of bad writing, flat characters, and told an utterly pointless story. Jyn could have been an incredibly compelling character, but they literally cut out her entire arc.
I hated Rogue One for many reasons:
•It ruined Rogue Squadron
•It ruined Dark Forces
•It was an obvious cash grab
•It ruined TFU
•It failed to take into account the very canon fact the Death Star plans were complete before the clone wars
•It oversimplified a complicated problem
And others.
It did the things it did well though, even if they did pack too much into too little time.
It was clear to me that the villain was Director Krennic, and while he was under the thumbs of Vader and Tarkin, he was motivated to antagonise our heroes by himself. The fact that there were greater powers than he bearing down on him was simply a plot device to generate sympathy for the villain, and try to fix the fact the this complicated problem had been so oversimplified. In the moment it worked, only in review the flaw comes to light.
Ultimately it's a fun flick, as long as you don't take it too seriously.
The Geonosians had only designed the superstructure, the weapon was only a mere concept.
Basically the Geonosians' contribution was "what if there was a big spherical space station that had some sort of powerful weapon? Let's make a detailed concept schematic."
Then when the republic takes Geonosis, Poggle The Lesser gets the Geonosians to build some of the superstructure (Geonosians will kill each other if they have no tasks to complete), in exchange for some autonomy.
Later the Empire sprays pesticide on Geonosis and kills all the bugs.
Also TFU's story is basically a bad fanfic and I don't understand why people like it.
They didn't explain that in the film, the idea was that the plans were complete.
If there was more exposition on it in a book, then that isn't canon.
Literally all that was shown in AoTC was a hologram of the superstructure. It was explained in a book, Catalyst, which released in November and is canon.

I thought it was incredibly obvious that it was CGI, and I saw it on release day with no idea such a thing would be in the movie. Didn't bother me a huge amount, but still
Basically, to summarize what I am saying, I could definitely tell that it was CGI, but it didn't bother me because I thought the effect was still impressive.

I honestly thought they hopped over the uncanny valley perfectly. He was there; he didn't look "off" at all.
If I cared more, I could take a closer inspection, but why would I do that when I don't closely inspect Tarkin's face normally?
I never found Tarkin's face in R1 to look too off. Maybe it's because I was fully aware it was CGI anyway.
Tarkin in Rogue One looked perfectly fine to me. When I first saw it I actually couldn't tell if it was CG or not. But yeah, no uncanny valley for me.
I'm not saying I thought it was bad or too off, I could just tell it was CGI because I had heard rumors of their resurrection of Tarkin. I thought it was amazingly done, and was very impressed even if it did look slightly odd too me when he spoke a couple times. When he wasn't talking it was almost imperceptible.

Actually a good interview; both people were reasonable. FOX gets a lot of flak (and rightfully so in some cases), primarily for their pundits, but they certainly have their moments of quality reporting. Really, as far as I can tell the main issue is with the pundits, not necessarily the reporting.

Dance would have made a great Tarkin.
I had seen Meta mention that here. He doesn't look bad. Oh well, maybe he can play a new Imperial Officer character in a Star Wars film sometime.

CGI Tarkin was very divisive, I think we can all agree. Personally, I believe we see such a stark divide in opinion because of a specific phenomenon relating to human perception in regards to faces; the Uncanny Valley effect, which I am sure most of you have heard of. I think that because of this phenomenon, a CGI Tarkin never could look perfect, it would always be slightly off. Thus, I wasn't bothered by CGI Tarkin; I could tell it was CGI, and it was "off", but I was nonetheless impressed with it. I've seen some people say that they should have done what they did in RoTS, and had Wayne Pygram with prosthetics portray him. Personally, I think that would have been terrible. Honestly RoTS Tarkin creeps me out more than CGI Tarkin ever could. He looks like a bloated corpse.
