I'm pretty sure it's Luke saying those words, maybe having come to the conclusion that Jedi and Sith both have to end and a balanced form of both being necessary to bring true balance to the Force.

Naare.

At this point I can't imagine the new AT-AT not being among the new Lego sets. Also, no surprise people on YouTube already complain about the new AT-AT being "yet another ripoff" of the OT. Fair enough, I get their point and their view, and maybe it is lazy to some extent to (kinda) copy things, but the First Order is after all inspired by and kinda based on the Empire, so I don't have any problem with them reusing ships and vehicles from the OT. As long as the new movies are good, that's all I care about.

Although K2 already won, I'll give my vote to Kordi, the most appealing one imo and she deserves at least one vote

I prefer Vader over Palpatine, but since Rebels Vader won batch 2, I'll vote for Palpatine.

Chirrut Imwe, although he's already won as I believe it's 11 votes now.

Yep, it fits.

I've just placed an order on S@H for the Silent Mary

Interesting idea, it sounds logical enough to be plausible. Didn't think about that yet.

I second agrof and I_Igor, the axle part of those connectors cracks way too easily over time the way they are made.

I too believe I have seen an already existing thread about this topic, but if there is one, I guess they'll be merged eventually. My favorite part among the currently existing ones has to be the pin hole with pin. It's so versatile.

I haven't seen any ship models with such towers either, but I like the artistic touch and uniqueness they add to the Silent Mary. It makes it different than regular ships.

I don't remember if it's been said, but will it also be available from tomorrow only in Lego Stores and at lego.com?

I've read an article that says Starbucks misspell the customer names on the cups on purpose because it generates publicity for them. If it's true, judging by all the pics I've seen from people who have had their names misspelled on Starbucks cups, it works perfectly It would be fun to know if the actual Starbucks employee have watched Rogue One and if he/she realized they may be the source of inspiration for the name of the planet.

A little off-topic perhaps, but I have an interest in checking out new places on Google Maps, and just now I found an island off the south-west coast of Ireland with the name Scariff, as well as a town in in-land Ireland with the name Scarriff. I don't know if anyone's aware of it or if it's been posted before, but thought I'd share it.

I didn't know the Bermuda triangle has been called the Devil's Triangle before, but it makes sense when you consider how many ships have vanished in the area. I've also been thinking that the ghosts seem to be stuck in the state they were in the moment they died, given the way Salazar's hair and details of his jacket move as if he's still under water, and how many of his ghost crew are missing parts of their bodies without appearing to be affected by it. Like the guy who's missing the top half of his head, but still seem to have all his senses intact, including his vision. From what we know at this point, Salazar was merely hunting and killing every pirate he came across, it doesn't really sound logical to me that he would have transported something cursed. Maybe there was a curse within the cave or general area where the ship was destroyed and the crew died, something supernatural that reawakened the souls of the ship and its crew and captain and keeps them alive. Or reawakened Salazar's soul and his hatred for Jack and lust for revenge keeps himself as well as the souls of the ship and the crew alive. It's an interesting subject, and seeing as there will apparently be one more movie, I hope they're doing a two part story like they did with DMC and AWE, introducing the villain and his motives in DMTNT and save the conclusion of the battle for the next one. That's the main mistake I feel they did with OST, introducing Blackbeard and then killing him off in the same movie.

One thing that hit me is, I assume the main mast of the Silent Mary broke in the explosion when the ship was destroyed. Judging by Jack's apparent age in the flashback, it was quite long ago and I suppose the ship and crew were all trapped inside that cave in the Devil's Triangle until some point shortly before the events in the movie. It's pretty much a heavily damaged ghost ship in its current state, and a ghost ship is probably not at all affected by the weather like "real" ships, but nevertheless I would think removing the broken mast instead of having it hanging down over the railing would be a good idea, unless ghost ships always remain how they were when they were destroyed or something. I also wonder, has it been said where the Devil's Triangle is supposed to be? I'm wondering if it could be in the Bermuda triangle, or if it's the same thing in the movie.

I assume the answer is yes, but does the parts of the masts built by round 2x2 bricks have Technic axles through them to add sturdiness?

I wonder if it could have been a good idea for them to make a full Silent Mary in all her glory, with extra parts included (double set of minifigs for Salazar and co.?) to where you could build the original and if desired, transform it to its ghostly, ruined present form. The downside is it most likely would've been more expensive due to the extra parts like hull and sails and more pearl gold pieces and maybe other colors as well for the ghost form unless they went with a compromise and used the current color scheme. I kinda want the Silent Mary, but I'm still contemplating it since it'll most likely end up in pieces anyway since the only parts I really want are the masts, torn sails, ghost crew and ghost sharks It'll probably be far cheaper to wait and see if I can find the ghost figs, sharks and sails in some BrickLink store in addition to the masts. But then, it won't be the same when I won't have a brand new set to open, look through the manual (and this one is more detailed and great too) and, you know But what the heck, you only live once, if you really want it and can afford it, buy it

I don't have any particular need for it, I was just wondering if there was such a piece made by TLG since it, like other specific parts, would be quite useful for certain things.

Maybe they thought the broken mast would look best with the sails hanging down in collapsed state and the best way to do that was to attach it like that despite the mast ending up backwards. From a certain point of view it doesn't really matter, since I assume the mast breaks when the ship explodes inside the cave we see in the latest trailer and always hangs down in the ghost ship state.

I get what you mean. She did get a hold of how to use the Force rather quickly, even for mind tricks, but regarding the duel with Kylo at the end, I think it's important to remember that he was shot with Chewie's bowcaster shortly before, which was demonstrated throughout the movie to be powerful. I also reckon the duel with Finn on beforehand took a bit of his remaining strength as well. This doesn't explain how and why she seemingly got so strong al of a sudden, but it's a part of the reason for Kylo's defeat on his own end. I don't mind Rey the way she was done in TFA, but I do think it would have been a bit more logical if they made her capable of only resisting Kylo and keeping him out of her head and dropped the whole "backfire" thing. Potentially also dropped her defeating him and instead having the fight interrupted by the ground splitting apart, leaving them separated and her unable to get to him and him maybe collapsing due to blood loss from the bowcaster shot. On topic: Was there any talk of a possible MagnaGuard figure, or was that just on peoples' wishlists? I think a MagnaGuard could be cool, complete with a good quality cape (which Grievous lacked).

I haven't found any, so I reckon the answer is no, but does there exist yet a part like the one below, but with axle holes instead of bar holders on the sides? Basically a connector #2 with axle hole in the center instead of pin hole?
