I meant to say at the time. That said, horror games still don't really get to me. The only games to really instill a sense of dread in me since are the Dark Souls games. They do a great job at exploiting the fear of the unknown. But this is the Star Wars thread.

Cnut the Great posted:The visual theme of the scene is black leather and fire, representing temptation and passion. Anakin speaks of being scarred and unable to breathe. The whole thing is obviously prefiguring Mustafar and Anakin's transformation into Vader. Awesome. Its fun on rewatch to see that Padme’s hair and the lighting mirrors their final conversation on Mustafar, and that some of the lines are repeated in an even darker light in ROTS (“you’re going down a path I can’t follow”, “I will do whatever you ask”)

Al Borland Corp. posted:This can't be true, the graphics are perfect already. They added sun-shafts which actually look pretty good and you can change the fog distance; also some of the levels have redesigns in certain parts, nothing major though. The game really holds up well, 2 on the other hand is quite a mess.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2017/12/30/box-office-star-wars-the-last-jedi-has-2nd-best-3rd-friday-drop-ever-for-100m-opener/ I seriously think the Forbes writers are having a proxy fight in their articles. This one has begun making fun of a refrain used by the other article writer and it's basically saying not to jump to conclusions. Anyway, The Last Jedi made a billion dollars. It's going to make more money. And it's actually now experiencing less drops then its predecessors in its third week. Like it, hate it: Disney made a billion dollars with the movie which is better than what they can expect from any of their other properties.

Fans being out of touch isn't at all mutually exclusive with the fact that The Last Jedi is a bad movie.

I walked into this movie a few minutes late due to problems picking up my reserved ticket. Did I miss something that explained why the Resistance ships only left the base with enough fuel for 2 hyperspace "jumps," when fuel limitations have literally never been an issue in any of the previous movies?

Yeah there was a scene where Holdo sat Poe down and explained the writer had to come up with a plot point to explain their predicament but Poe didn't take it very well.

It was a hurried evacuation, and it was explicitly stated that they didn't have time to load everything onto transports. Oh, and this is not the first time limited hyperspace capability has been a plot point. Remember The Phantom Menace? Due to damage, a leaky hyperdrive had shorter range than expected.

Going back further much of Empire Strikes back was Han being chased through an asteroid field because his hyperdrive was a piece of poo poo.

Okay, I stand corrected. In TPM there was a line about the ship only having enough power to get to Tatooine. Still, that was because the hyperdrive had been damaged. Ditto for ESB. In this movie, did they explicitly say at any point that the hyperdrives on all 3 ships were broken, or that they just didn't have enough time to gas up all of their ships?

In TLJ, as far as we know, it was simply a lack of available fuel. Presumably due to the hurried evac, but that is just speculation on my part.

They hosed up what could have been a cool callback moment to this when Luke enters the falcon's cockpit. It lights up and they play it up like it's this special sacred moment. They should have had the lights blink on and off and the sound of an engine trying to rev and dying instead of the holy reverence they tried to give it in this movie.

Well keep in mind that people other than Han and Chewie had the Falcon for much of the intervening time. We found out in TFA that Ducain, Unkar Plutt, and Rey herself had done mechanical work on the Falcon. Maybe someone finally fixed the loose wire under that one panel?

So when they figured out that the bad guys had only the one hyperspace tracker, why didn't the Resistance ships all scatter and jump in different directions, so that all but one would make it? Yeah, they'd probably end up losing the cruiser, since the FO would be most likely to follow that one, but it seemed they'd have had plenty of time to shuttle people to other ships first. Or am I misunderstanding how the tracker works -- like maybe when they all jump the scanner would just say "THIS ship went THERE, THAT ship went THATAWAY" and the FO could just split their own fleet and send a few destroyers after each one. But even so, couldn't they just jump again and be safe? Any chase party that doesn't include Snoke's flagship wouldn't be able to track them again. . I admit it's a really small point, and maybe I missed an explanation that covers it, but it's something to add onto the "Hey, why didn't they just--" pile.

Now that it's been revealed that the Resistance gets it's ships from arms dealers, couldn't they have just gotten a new ship? Surely they could get a good deal with a trade-in of the falcon and get a new ship instead of flying this old piece of poo poo for reasons no one in universe can justify

The beginning of TFA is maybe four days before the end of TLJ, and the Resistance was running for its life for most of that time. They didn't have time to peruse the used spaceship lots and contemplate an upgrade. Besides, the Resistance doesn't own the Falcon. Han did, and I guess now Chewie does.

It'd be funny if Ben inherited the Falcon and he's technically the legal owner and the next movie is about a long legal battle between Ben and Chewie that engulfs the galaxy

I cannot imagine the B.S. that would have occurred if movies from the 70s and 80s came out today. Star Wars would have been obliterated.
