I'm not thrilled that they're making a new Star Wars movie, what was it, every year?

Why is that an issue? It's not like games, which are made by a single developer.

Yeah, they are having different people work on the movies. Also, J.J Abrams isn't the director of Episode VIII so if he was given another movie, he wouldn't be overloaded.

Let's face it, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamil both looked like shit before they shot for TFA.

Apparently Carrie was bitching about it and saying that it's just Hollywood wanting "good looking women" in their roles.

Spoiler
Even though Hollywood paid for her nutritionist and trainers, and she said it was the best time she's had in a while.
Carrie Fisher isn't gonna be a sex symbol like she was in ROtJ, she can lose a few pounds for her own sake.

And Mark?

Oh, Mark, Jesus...

Jesus Christ I knew he looked bad at a convention a couple of years ago, but he just looks fucking unhealthy in that picture. Glad that being a Jedi made him shed off that fat.

I'm just scared of an over-saturation of Star Wars content. I'm a massive fan, but even I get sick of seeing Star Wars advertisements everywhere.

It'll all be OK as long as they make a Boba Fett spaghetti western, though.

Don't worry, her voice will keep that from ever happening again.

10 DAYS HYPE

Spoiler

technically 9 for midnight release folks

Anonymous (User Deleted) · December 11, 2015, 10:00:08 PM

these goddamn Chinese trailers with their new footage

I'm actually not going to post the latest one because it's borderline spoileriffic. I mean, a lot of it's probably nothing you couldn't piece together from the US trailers, but still, it gives away a bit too much. DO NOT WATCH IT.

There's one REALLY cool shot in space with some mysterious ship that I didn't recognize...? That got me hyped >.>

Derp, I totally forgot to post the major news of the week:

Underworld and 1313 may not be as dead as we thought!

What I got from this is that they'll probably adapt elements of 1313 to something else.

Again, all I want is The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly... But with Boba Fett.

Or House of Cards but with Darth Vader.

Ah, OK. I watched it but I barely remember anything about it, I guess I'll be sure not to do so again.

Mmmmm Napalm · December 11, 2015, 11:42:00 PM

OK so apparently some (relatively final) artwork of Supreme Leader Snoke leaked, so if you wanna be surprised like me, keep a look out.

The temptation to get Battlefront is strong. I know I'm going to get it at some point anyway, and I'm easily satisfied with shooting games...

Mmmmm Napalm · December 12, 2015, 01:26:38 PM

Heads up everybody, KoTOR I & II are $4 each right now on GOG.com!

Mmmmm Napalm · December 14, 2015, 12:31:21 AM

Read this preview of next weeks Darth Vader issue.

My predictions:

King's gonna try and make amends for decreased productivity by offering his daughter Trios as Vader's bride; propose a royal/diplomatic marriage as a show of friendliness between the Empire and Shu-Torin.

Vader's response will be along the lines of "TRIGGERED" or "bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks, stop trying to buy me off with this hoe nigga" at which point a) Vader will force throw his gift at the King's face, and the gift will blow up in his face because it was a bomb, or b) the King will be insulted and attack Vader/declare war against the Empire; see a).

All in all I'm just excited we're getting a different artist, if only for one issue. The usual artist makes everything look hairy by adding "shading" lines to every surface imaginable.

General consensus seems to be that the characters, acting, and emotion are all great, but the story is too similar in structure to the OT films. This is what I expected; I was afraid we'd get "it's like poetry, it rhymes" in regards to the story, but I don't think it'll ruin the movie for me.

All in all, I can't wait to see it.

It hasn't dropped it's rating much, currently 94% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The worst thing about a Star Wars film every year is knowing I'll die before I get to see them all

Jono · December 29, 2015, 05:26:05 AM

I rewatched A New Hope today and I was wondering what happens to Wedge. I know he's in Empire Strikes Back in the Hoth Battle and Return of the Jedi during the space battle, but what does he do after that?

A Cheese Potato · December 29, 2015, 05:50:46 AM

I'm rewatching 1 - 6 with some friends now, up to episode 2, holy shit the lightsaber fights in the prequels look terrible so far. The Maul one was passable, but damn the Dooku vs Anakain and Obiwan, and then Yoda fights looked so stupid. I can't wait for the Ewan Mcgregor vs General Greenscreen fight where it probably wont look like anything is connecting at all.

and then top it off with a sweet trapeze lightsaber fight on mustafar, can't wait
