Star Wars |OT| I have a very good feeling about this...

Yup. No real point and the pronoun could easily be "it". The problem is protocol droids like C3PO having to have human voices. Otherwise it makes no difference. BB-8 should be whatever you want it to be.

Yeah there is no 'point' however in Star Wars droids always have a 'gender', also Astromechs. Its not something I made up.
The first half of The Force Awakens is Star Wars at its best.
Watching it with my boyfriend now that we are all settled in our new home and everything is just so good. The acting, the score, the cinematography, the reactions between the characters. It kinda drops in quality after Han is introduced but it is still good throughout.

Dunno why it never occurred to me to do this until now:
There's a couple videos that edit both chapters of 2003's Clone Wars into a single video, but they just kinda scotch tape 'em together, and one's upscaled to 720p (doesn't look great) and one's stuck at 360p (lower-res than it should be)
So I edited em together like I did the radio dramas and upped 'em.

There you go.

Nice! Thanks for this, I've been wanting to have a good quality version of Clone Wars to grab clips from whenever I wanted.
Is the video only being playable on the desktop site some YouTube shenanigans at work?

Probably? It's not a box I ticked.
Speaking of which, I had to delete & re-up that video. Link is fixed in the original post.

At least out of the people I know, i'm the person who loves The Force Awakens the most.
It's become my third favorite film in the series.
I love the new characters and their interactions. Rey fighting Kylo Ren in the snowy woods is just a fantastic sequence.
If only they didn't feel the need to give us yet another Death Star (starkiller base, whatevs)

So many lies.
Search your feelings. You know that this is not true.
GAMEPROFF never told you the truth...
He told me enough, he told me Attack of the Clones was the best one.
I would never do this
Hey now, let's not get crazy.
My favorite is Empire Strikes Back, it's a nearly perfect film. It introduces Yoda, develops the Leia / Han romance and Luke's fight with Vader is incredible.
A New Hope is a super close second, not that I think it's actually that great of a film now, but it's so important being the first that it deserves the high spot.
I definitely rank The Force Awakens above Return of the Jedi though, I always thought Jedi felt kinda rushed in spots and tone wise it feels a little off. But I don't hate the Ewoks like many do.
Empire
A New Hope = The Return of the Jedi
TFA
Revenge
Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones.
Dunno, I loved TFA at the first viewing and was really bored by it at the second viewing at home. Maybe that will change when I see it yet another time, but its of course far superior to the Prequels.
Oh ok, apart from the placement of Jedi my ordering is the same.
We can get along, lol. ;D

We're Star Wars fans, we're not supposed to get along. You'd put this film above this one? Madness!
Nope

Poe Dameron #14 was definitely hinting at
in The Last Jedi. Nice to see Leia have a larger role in the book as well.
Poe's move to more of a leadership role
The part where Leia said she'd probably be joining Lu'lo soon hit close to home.

Rucka's Guardians of the Whills is very good. Baze and Chirrut's voices really show in the writing. He nailed both characters.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Lttp finally given around to reading Empire's End. I'm like 100 pages in.
I'm up to chapter 35 in Rebel Rising now and this book is bleak as fuck. LFL has been doing a great job at making the Dark Times, well, dark in canon.
It's okay, I'm sure everything will work out and she will live a long and happy life.

I read a few reviews last week and they said the same. How would you rate it so far?
Let's not do this.
I liked it a lot. Slow start, but it picks up. You really understand Jyn as a character, but it doesn't answer
why Saw thought she was there to kill him.
I finished and man. That plus the Rogue One novel?
MAN.
It's pretty good. In terma of the YA novels, it's better than the Ahsoka novel. I wouldn't place it above Lost Stars, though I haven't finished this yet.
You get a much deeper examination of who Jyn and Saw are as characters and how her life went off the rails. I do think they might have overstepped though in
making Saw a literal admitted terrorist who openly says "Yeah maybe we should adopt terrorism as a tactic"

I took it as a strong foreshadowing of how Lucasfilm will handle Carrie's death: Poe will
take over in Episode 9 (not 8, IMO) as leader of the Resistance and they'll write in Leia's off-screen death.
I'm not even following the comic, though now this is making me want to, however, all this about Poe seems pretty interesting.

I stopped reading around issue 8. Should i continue on with the Poe comics? I see the trade paperback of 8-13 comes out in July, so maybe ill finish of those issues with that.
Poe reads better back to back than waiting, that's for sure.
Just finished Rebel Rising. I think the end was a bit rushed and it doesn't quite synch up with Rogue One as we see it on screen or read it in the novel but overall I'd recommend it. I get the feeling this was written though based on an earlier version of RO for a couple reasons - namely
If you think Jyn is boring, this book will give you an entirely different view of her which is one of absolute pity.

the focus on her necklace, the fact that Jyn's main skill is forgery which never really comes up in the film, and the fact that she enthusiastically embraces the Rebellion at the first meeting on Yavin.

God yes.

Finished Thrawn. Got a little repetitive for my taste near the end but overall was a fun read and worth the time.
Eli Vanto was a fun character and I have a feeling it's not the last we see of him.
If you've read the first couple arcs, why not? May as well. The comic has never gotten great IMO but it's not bad. Perhaps sphagnum is right and the stories read better back to back -- I buy them every month so maybe that affects my opinion.
