  1. I loved the episode, it had so much absolutely gorgeous animation, but that transition was so dumb. Were they trying to fake out the audience? How did they not know the rebel armada was about to warp in?
  2. Can I just say the recent controversy over Beauty and the Beast is so so dumb. First people complain its to similar to the original then they put a spin on one of the characters and people get up in arms. Can we as a society just sit back and let people tell stories? So what LeFou is gay in the live action film. First off even before I know much about these things as a little kid I ALWAYS thought it was really strange Lefou always followed Gaston and put up with their abusive relationship. Only someone truly enamored would do that.
  3. He very well may but as far as we know its from an episode.
  4. I was looking at my recently bought Thrawn figure today and while i've gotten over the rank discrepancy I did notice something odd. The alternate face is exactly the one Thrawn makes in an episode of Rebels which means most likely they had stills to work with if not video clips. So how did they still screw up the rank pips?
  5. Does anyone have the Harley Quinn Nurse dual molded legs with red boots? I'm such a dingus for not thinking of this sooner but what would they look like on an Imperial Shock Trooper?
  6. I still dont like the ewoks To be fair I dont hate the concept behind the ewoks I just find the execution extremely poor. If they were going for the massive numbers of warriors on homeground overwhelming an arrogant and outnumbered force angle they still needed to show the ewoks paying a hefty price. If not killing ewoks on camera show the Empire burning villages and stuff.
  7. Also I love how this episode actually explains why Thrawn was always letting the Rebels go the first half of the season. He was tracking their hyperspace routes which makes a LOT of sense. Why take the Ghost and kill everyone on board, which would scatter the rest of the rebel cell, when you can get them all at once.
  8. Has anyone read Empire's End? I haven't yet but I hear it finally reveals what happened at the Battle of Jakku,
  9. What an absolutely amazing episode, possibly my favorite of any Star Wars show. Thrawn is superbly written as he always has been and Yularen was a great addition. This is just further proof we need more episodes that heavily show the Imperial perspective because honestly I have always found them far more interesting then the rebels.
  10. EIGHTY? Sorry for the all caps but that's absurd. Its a cool set from what i've seen but at that cost you would have to really like the A-Wing.
  11. I know in the US it was in that packaging originally for $500. What its worth now I could not say but I do know that its sold for ridiculous sums of money. I myself am not good with mathematics or economics so I couldn't tell you what its worth with inflation. If you have plans of selling it just keep in mind there are rumors that there is a new updated UCS Millennium Falcon coming out this year which means desire for the old version may plummet upon an announcement. That however is rumor and speculation. If you want advice solely for selling on the aftermarket there are plenty on this forum i'm sure who would give you advice but if so I would ask in this forum.

  12. Thrawn is following the writing style of Timothy Zahn which consists of plenty of foreshadowing and set up. Dave Filoni LOVES Thrawn so i'm convinced if any character has an awesome and well done arc in this series its going to be Thrawn. The finale should therefore be incredible. The important question is whether this season is intended to be the end of Thrawn's story with the intention of flushing his life out in reverse such as with the upcoming Thrawn novel, or if they will leave his fate open to future books or even make him a two season villain. Honestly Thrawn is a character I would really enjoy seeing as a two season villain. Primarily so we get another mini figure with an accurate rank plaque but also because he is the most fascinating villain on this show so far. Tarkin is always fantastic but he's not mysterious as we know him. Darth Vader is the same as Tarkin. Governor Pryce and Konstantine are all straight Imperials. Kallus is interesting but i'm convinced he's not long for this universe. Thrawn though is not of the Imperial mold as even his accent is outside of the typical British and American range we hear in this franchise, and for me has made season three, even the subpar episodes, absolutely fantastic. New Clip: A certain character we all know is back!
  13. The Tie Boarding Craft, the only Tie in the current canon seen carrying regular Stormtroopers, looks almost identical to a Tie Bomber.
  14. Wow I am so unimpressed and dissapointed by these Rathtars. I wouldve much rathered (no pun intended ) a smaller set (Did we need the tan office?) And a single molded Rathtar with slots to add tentacles. I mean they barely look like their film counterparts. Instead of an angry ball these look like weird squid Aquazone abominations that never made production. Bump the set up to a hundred price tag and I wouldve bought it if they had a molded Rathtar. The set is about the Rathars, its in the title. How did they boggle this up?
  15. -Molds for more Alien Species or color variation for what we have. Give us brown Ithorians, yellowish Bith, white Mon Calamari. -Belts for stormtroopers and other Imperials like the Batman Movie version.
  16. Its not too small at all, its perfectly sized with the actual EU vehicle. As an owner of the old model trust me the scale down is a good thing. I guess it makes sense to differentiate between trilogy and anthology maybe, but a lot is riding on the name. Solo Friday is going to be potentially befuddling.
  17. Yes but its going to be the third time we have this kind of event. I didnt realize it was called Rogue Friday last year though...thats bizarre.
  18. I am really bothered its called Force Friday II when this is the third time around. Am I crazy?
  19. If you live in the US check your local Lego store. Winter wave may be there. My local store had all sets.
  20. Captain America: Civil War - I liked it, I liked it quite a bit. As someone who didnt much like either of the Avengers movies I have to say the Captain America movies are solid.
  21. Isn't Rian Johnson directing the final two movies? WHAT? I just saw that Colin Trevorrow is...I don't know if i'm happy with that. Safety Not Guaranteed was great but Jurassic World was so tepid...I'm a huge Rian Johnson fan so to hear he's only doing one now is very disappointing. The Original Trilogy had three different directors so I don't see that as a big problem.
  22. I thought I heard that the series is going to follow American Horror Story's format where each season is a different story. Maybe we'll get another timeline? To be fair to Enterprise they did do some super cool things such as develop and flesh out concepts and races never brought up in the Original Series touched by the other series such as the Andorians and Tellurites and early Vulcans. Some people hate the latter but I actually like that the Vulcans were different, it adds to the sense of realism in the universe's history by showing evolving societies. I completely agree though that i'm tired of prequels. I would love to see a series set a hundred years after Voyager in the far future.
  23. I really dig the 2X2 circle tiles on the ankles.
  24. WOW! I'm honestly completely taken aback at how absolutely gorgeous the UCS Snowspeeder model is. The designer hit it out of the park!
