To be truthful, you can hardly complain, standing there with your WP:24 32 (now, you REALLY can't complain) dagger and immunity to everything. Whatever happens, don't let him get hold of one! It'll be the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnd!

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if Disney tramples over a whole lot of EU media in order to make his film. :shrug:

I'm very pleased for you, it must be a wonderful feeling to see it all finished and ready for us folks to watch. I may have to go and see this.

I thought that he was more in the realm of early-twenties. As you know, the trendiest heroes are the 19 year olds. (Especially when they start calling people 'lad')

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMME!

I completely disagree. Without George, the sequels have little chance (in my view) of being anything worth seeing. Yes, he did mess-up the prequels and mess-about with the Special Edition, but it's important to forget that he is the one who wrote the original masterpieces back in '77. Disney NEEDS George to have any hope of doing the films justice, although perhaps he should be kept on a leash just in case. As for Abrams: I'd much prefer it if he isn't given free-reign to make it his film. The best possible result would be to have Georgie and the writers directly involved in the film-making so as to limit the chances of disaster. Bringing Palpatine back would be the lamest "quick-let's-write-a-plot" solution that they come up with. Cloning as a rule is a boring and uninteresting way to re-use characters that the director regrets killing off (although as a scientific principle the clone would share neither the memories or personality of the original by default). It's what Michael Bay did with Transformers, and its why I dislike the second and third films of his trilogy. As I'm sure every fan of G1 Transformers and the recent games is aware: Sideswipe is NOT just a re-worked and re-voiced Jazz with blades. Just because Bay pulled a bad move by eliminating one of the universe's most awesome characters in an illogical fight, doesn't mean that he has to force another Autobot to evolve into him because the movies need more one-liners. Cybertronians transform into different vehicles, not different personalities.Jazz and Sideswipe are supposed to work together, and have very clearly defined attributes. Sideswipe is a professional, Jazz is laid-back and smart-mouthed. THEY ARE DIFFERENT ROBOTS! Whatever next? "How about we remove Shockwave's Spock-esque apathy and have him only say one-word (Optimus...), and then control a giant drilling thing? Oh wait, he's already done that." The only part of Bay's Shockwave that in any way, shape or form resembles the character is that he has one eye.

Very much agreed. I wanted so very much for his series to be prequels rather than an alternate timeline. Although Into Darkness is a mostly excellent film, it felt as though Abrams was trying to re-make Wrath of Khan rather than create an explanation for it. Yes, we all loved the touching hand-touching moment in Star Trek II, but not in every bloody place that a director wants to put it. I was in the cinema with a large audience of young people, few of whom seemed to understand any of the references - meanwhile, I'm trying to hold my tongue from crying out "No! He couldn't!" for most of the film. It'd be like some bloke making a war film and slapping on Ride of the Valkyries. It was cool in Apocalypse Now, but that doesn't mean we want to keep seeing it everywhere! Anyway... back on topic. I hope that Georgie holds some important writing position in the creation of the new trilogy. Although he is the one mostly responsible for Star Wars' downward turn, he also is the genius behind the thing in the first place. If he isn't involved, I sincerely doubt that it will work. As a light-action flick, perhaps, but not as a continuation for the saga.

Well, it's jolly good that there are people who can point out these errors, the job would be twice as hard without you! However this thread is an intentional duplicate. A thread for each area of the forum increases exposure and raises the chances of a member purchase. Remember - every penny earned for the Shipyard goes towards future contest prizes!

Just joking - I'm pretty sure that you can come up with something if you want to make Sarge into a junkie. We've already had the accepted fantasy 'shrooms' come up before, there could be many others if you wish to create them.

Congratulations to the much-deserving winners!

Or, you know, he could accept that it was a team effort and whomever delivered the last hit is pretty much irrelevant. The way Boomingham sometimes talks, one would be forgiven for mistake that quest for his personal adventure.

Fixed.

My apologies, I must have left my tin-foil hat somewhere along the road - my less-than-militant attitude is likely the result of them messing with my brain-waves! Ahhhhhh!

That's really awesome. It's great to have friends who are as accepting as yours seem to be. In other news: my Jedi Starfighter has arrived, and I must say that I am most impressed with it. The ship itself is much larger and more elegant than I had been anticipating.

Why should it? Separating one's character and oneself is pretty much the first step to playing a roleplaying game.

I'm pretty sure that this is the case.

I think that deciding for someone whether or not they should like a set of films is a bit of a stretch. Especially since most of the dislike for the prequels comes from those who saw the proper movies when they were new and are surprised by how much a director can gradually make his great work seem worse. The fair and unbiased thing to do would be to let the watch the original trilogy (because they are mostly good films), then offer them the chance to see the recent three if they are interested in bearing witness to George's mental decay. That's what the prequel series is, really, an obituary to Star Wars as a credible step forward in cinema. And on a general note: if the writing and CGI for this new Disney line of films is anything like what Georgie butchered did to the Special Editions. Messing around with some of the best parts of those movies for the kiddies' first viewing and preventing them from ever seeing the original work should be considered child abuse, quite frankly. ---------- "Oh no! The kids these days are too dumb to cope with a man who has a gun in his face shooting first, I better lean Harrison Ford's skull to one side so that no-one mistakes him for a cold-blooded killer." "Sure, George, go ahead. The fans'll love it! While you're at it, why don't you slap on some dinosaurs and the guy who plays Anakin's smug arrogant face on Sebastian Shaw? Ooh ooh! Maybe a ridiculous and infuriatingly childish song-and-dance routine into the dark and intimidating Jabba's Palace!" ---------- But heck, I say long live the prequels so long as LEGO keeps making sets of them. It's what got us LEGO Star Wars in the first place anyway.

Oh Lord, no... 1960s Robin was camp - but Batman movies have developed since then: and ANY film starring a talentless whiny tween pop idol is not one that I can take seriously. And anyhow, I hope that the director has his tin hat ready to shield himself from the inevitable backlash that comes from such a casting decisions.

It sounds as though you've got your mind pretty set on what you think about these kits - I for one have stood back and thought, ultimately deciding 'What the heck, let Airfix make whatever they want'. I like the company, it's the perfect example of a post-war toy that paved the way for most other modelling mediums. No-one really believes that Airfix is going to be stealing LEGO's share of the market with this product .

Sorry, but when I read your post I couldn't think about anything other than this movie: I'm sure you can see why.
