I just watched EP 3 a few hours ago. loving Sheev was stealing the show with his hilarious facial expressions. The whole time, Sheev was loving that poo poo. Too bad the flippy poo poo makes it so stupid. Seeing the last 20 minutes of EP 6 right now because I don't care about the rest of that movie. Sheev at his best right here. loving sitting there with that "lol, you're gonna be evil like your gay dad, Luke!" talk. My conclusion: Sheev did nothing wrong. Killing all the jedi was a good thing.

Sheev is good fun, and singlehandedly makes Ep III almost not unwatchable.Jurgan posted:Also, I'm indecisive on the existence of "a cluster of black holes." On the one hand, I doubt there's any way that could even exist. On the other hand, they say the people in universe don't understand it either. I kind of like the idea that, even in this far-off future, sometimes we still find things that make us say "poo poo, I don't know." Then again, wouldn't everyone in the system be fried by the radiation? Also, how is the Satellite of Love resupplied with consumables?

Jurgan posted:I'm not sure a bunch of stars can all collapse at once in the same place. And don't most black holes give off enormous amounts of radiation? Isn't it impossible for life to exist in the galactic core for that reason. I didn't know this before googling it right now but we've apparently found one such cluster in Andromeda: http://arstechnica.com/science/2013/06/nasa-finds-unprecedented-black-hole-cluster-near-andromedas-central-bulge/

Elukka posted:Stars are often born in groups around the same time from a single gas cloud. If a bunch of them are giant stars, they could all collapse into black holes around the same time. I guess that answers the question which galaxy SW is set in. And given it's distance from the Milky Way, any direct observations would only show events that happened a long time ago. The only question now is where George Lucas managed to hid his giant supertelescope.

he basically admitted long ago he's a poo poo storyteller and just wanted to be a cinematographer. for the OT he surrounded himself with collaborative talent, including his mostly unsung ex-spouse, and the difference shows i mean maybe it's in the hands of a soulless conglomerate and maybe they played it safe, but it's still better than minstrel show cartoon frogs and galactic c-span exposition scenes

I mean Han can be lying about his ship and Lucas can also use the wrong word in the script. Unless you want to think Han is such an idiot that he would try to con someone with "Yeah my truck is fast. It can get you from Philly to New York in twenty miles!"

Probably a bit of both. In the SW universe it might be a really obscure measurement like 'chain' or something. Even in the real world, parsec isn't used much compared to light years.

URoRRuR'R'R was named as a tongue-in-cheek joke by the Decipher card game. There was also URoRRuR'R'R's bantha and URoRRuR'R'R's gaffi stick. My friends and I were in middle school and understood this to be a joke but the 40 year olds who run wookieepedia did not.

My brother and I had fun trying to pronounce them Pro-tip: the famous sniper one is clearly superior to the one that uses the gaffi stick to beat Luke over the head.

TK-42-1 posted:Yeah, but Leia had never met the girl and Rey had no idea who that was. It just seemed kind of odd. In the back of my mind I'm wondering if Leia was who left her behind on Jakku or something, but I hope it's not. They both know the force, duh. That's how Leia knew when Han died. Best part of the movie was the trippy force vision. The movie being 90% a retelling of the original movie was a detriment, but at least the varied locations were pretty, especially that smuggler bar. I caught a warhammer logo among the flags there too.

If that was the Warhammer Ork logo, then that's a Star Wars logo too. It's the Mandalorian logo.
