Star Wars 7 shit talk

I wonder if I can think of any differences between the Star Wars franchise and John Carter of Mars hmmmmm let me ponder

so it's 'Deep Water' in space.

xp

(Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer

lol

this is basically "The Net in space" which means it's going to be hilarious

Did anyone here other than me see Wreck-It Ralph?

god, Matthew Vaughan would be such an uninspiring choice

In the Wreck It Ralph thread I note that I have seen Wreck It Ralph.

you know i really like Hamill, especially in Empire.. he's called onto to do a lot of different stuff emotionally and pretty much the entire thing is carried by him. he's the star and hero of the best loved set of movies ever and i'm baffled why he doesn't get more credit. i'm sure this has been discussed at length elsewhere. maybe everyone else likes him too?

I always considered him a total - and wonderful - ham in Empire. Even as a kid, I laughed by ass off at "that's not true, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!". That said, I genuinely believe his voice work on Batman/Justice League is top quality.

I can't find the direct quote, but Sam Fuller directed Hamill in Big Red One and said that Star Wars ruined the dude, in terms of wasting what Hamill could do vs what he was pigeon-holed into

His Joker gets a lifetime pass from me.

Listened to Hamill on that Batman podcast that Kevin Smith is doing (by far the best thing Smith has ever done). He's really a pro, very much a technician when it comes to performance.

In terms of a script, there has to be gold somewhere in the hundreds of SW universe novels.

you'd think that

Bring in the rabbit dude from the comics.

Responding to something Shakey said upthread, you can make compelling stories in this universe(I've given three examples at least), but the more important thing game-wise is that it will never, ever NOT be fun to force-throw a stormtrooper dude off a gangplank to his screaming death

I wonder how the purchase will affect Star Wars 1313, still in development.

Hamill never bothered me much, except the timbre of his yelling voice. Also he had a bad traffic accident between the first 2 films, couldn't have been an easy time.

Pretty sure you mean a wampa accident.

Not familiar with the comics. Was it one of these little guys that Chewie's rescuing?

nah, it was this dude

if you want to go down the rabbit-hole, so to speak

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jaxxon

Oh man, that's so much worse! I had really been looking forward to a fourth Star Wars movie with Hoojibs in it. I've never budged on my love for Ewoks either. But that rabbit...lord, almighty.

Leporidist.

I've never budged on my love for Ewoks

I've always liked Ewoks too. The bit where one is shaking his dead mate to see if he'll wake up always gets to me.

The Ewoks are cool. I mean even some of the crappier CGI creations in the prequels might have been tolerable if they were actual puppets or whatever

Jaxxon was a quick-witted Lepi smuggler from Coachelle Prime. The most rambunctious of his family's thirteen children, he left his homeworld at an early age, after stealing an unprotected freighter. He made his way to Nar Shaddaa, where he began to perform odd jobs, quickly becoming familiar with the important elements of fringe culture.

hipster bunnies?

Coachelle Prime.

I've never budged on my love for Ewoks either.

I never in my life thought I'd see this sentence

Jaxxon in the comics was hilarious/awesome. accompanied by big-tittied human sidekick iirc

AMAIZA FOXTRAIN

I know it's long past time for this but: Whiney OTM

yes because god forbid on a website dedicated to obsessing over the minutia of popular culture we start drawings lines around which are acceptable

"my nerdery is more acceptale than your nerdery"

wtf is wrong with my keyboard

I really don't understand why you react to vague non-serious teasing as if it was a personal attack

also: "Amaiza Foxtrain" <--- I mean come on

I don't think she's been confirmed for the new movie yet but we can dream

lol i'm so not taking it personally, i'd say the same thing in any other thread where someone decided to equate nerding out over something to people wanting to fuck cartoon ponies

if you'd said "lol star wars nerds" i'd be okay, but you were otming Whiney's trolling post

bronies vs. star wars nerds is the new trekkies vs. whovians

not really, at all. unless the whovians actually produced daleks that they could fuck.

Jon, I take offence to your notion that being a brony is all about the fuckin'.

... I don't see how that joke was inappropriate, coming as it did after the reveal of big-titted human sidekick Amaiza Foxtrain

tbh I am glad we are having this conversation because just typing "Amaiza Foxtrain" is cracking me up

ps: Amaiza Foxtrain

xp: you haven't seen the picture of 70s companion Jo Grant nude and draped over a Dalek, I take it

built for lovin

lol, that i have not seen. and no, i'm not defending the kookier/crepeier corners of star wars nerdery either.

i know i really shouldn't be surprised, but the level of detail in every article on wookieepedia, it's mindblowing.

^^^ Merdeyeux otm

funny, even as a star wars stan i had never spent much time on that before it was brought up itt

i mostly just like when it reminds me of the old comics i haven't read in 20+ years

ftr I love Star Wars and Doctor Who and Star Trek

My Little Pony can fuck off though, unless it's that cracked-out "call upon the Sea Ponies" video

"This bounty hunter is my kind of scum - fearless and inventive."

i rewatched this tonight at home with my kids who hadn’t seen it since it came out in the cinema i.e. many lifetimes ago. they both remembered and dreaded the scene where han dies.

at one point my younger son (8) goes “why are they called the first order now?” and in reply his brother (10) says matter-of-factly “they changed the name when disney bought it”.

otm

just the sheer ballsiness of this one almost makes me want to get it

I would wear that, fuck the haters.

yeah that’s kinda great tbh

i don't like being "meta" in my clothing, so i'm passing but i would certainly appreciate it if i saw it out and about

oh well i noticed this was up for sale just now too as part of their new drop:

reader, i got both. i am a consumer lump.

It just occurred to me that I can no longer remember anything about the plot of this movie. I remember a few moments in it -- Rei walking on walls or something, a basement scene with a diminutive creature and some kind of magical memory awakening, images of middle-aged leia and han, Adam Driver yelling, John Boyega breathing a lot, Oscar Isaac maybe crashed? Or was that John Boyega?

awkward co-parenting scenes with Han and Leia

I'll give you a hint about the plot: it was exactly the same as A New Hope

Oscar Isaac and John Boyega stole a tie fighter, which was the best part of the movie imo

That and the magic bread-puff

this movies biggest/only legacy in my household is the line "ONE QUARTER PORTION""

Magic bread puff was actually a practical effect I think! They inflated it from below.
