    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Rogue One is set before ANH. The Bothans stole the plans for the second Death Star not the first. Also if you read the opening crawl of ANH, Rogue one is based off the first paragraph. "It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory...

    Meh. I think the whole starkiller base story line was the worst part of the movie was too much like ANH/ROTJ. Frankly getting tired of round super weapons as the plot point and I think thats partly why ESB was so good, it focused more on characters and the story than big mcguffins that dominated...

    Yeah Im hoping we see the whole Posse in Ep8/9 with lightsabers, having been fully trained by Snoke, and then Luke comes in and creams them all.

    Yeah but somehow he is badass enough to kill all of Lukes Jedi's in training + Stop Blaster bolts mid air with no effort as well and mind read.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Yeah but no way you hire an actor like Adam Driver and not have him reveal his face the entire movie

    Didnt think it was dumb, I actually like Rey beating him down, just thought it didnt make a ton of sense and actually made Kylo less of a badass

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    would have made more sense than Rey fighting off a fully trained dark side user.

    Your wrong it would have been amazing especially if it wasnt super telegraphed.

    Yeah just finished, was great. Could almost be down for a sequel, Emily Blunt is a badass and babe.

    Sure we get that, I think everyone understood she had SOME training but to imply at that point she had learned how to influence minds, Force pull, lightsaber fight etc to the point where she could over power Kylo is a bit of a stretch.

    I liked the movie but hated the whole starkiller thing. How the hell did the withering empire/first order build that planet-sized laser of death? Answer: ??? How the hell does the laser divides itself into smaller lasers that then are redirected by the sphere things (and what are those...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    To be fair, Rey does know what she is doing, same with finn they are both trained and proven to be capable of fighting, even still they should not have beat Ren so easily.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    One thing to keep in mind is that this is the first movie where they used real prop lightsabers like all the cosplayers use from saberforge, ultrasabers (except made by them obvs) etc instead of hilts with green sticks on the end. As a result the Sabers had real lighting effects that actually...

    Rogue One is Dec 2016, Ep 8 is May 2017, so you have to wait about a year and a half.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Yeah just got back, would be 8-8.5/10 for me. Few pacing issues and some story issues, but otherwise great.

    What is your education level?

    I make more than most of my friends with bachelors, and my own degree is collecting dust because my career is unrelated.

    What is your education level?

    Its def a Canadian thing, surprised the USA doesn't have an equivalent to recognize skilled tradespeople. Im sure due to the way you guys run your states each differently, nothing exists nationally.
  19. Khalan

    What is your education level?

    Yep Pretty Much. It's like a degree but for Trades. Info here for my Southern friendsRed Seal Program / Red Seal
  20. Khalan

    What is your education level?

    Not sure what it's called in America, but in Canada it is a designation for trades that is the equivalant of a degree for tradespeople "The Red Seal was established in 1959 and represents a standard of excellence for industry. Through the program, tradespersons are able to obtain a Red Seal...

    What is your education level?

    Curious why no BoX for trade related/red seal level of certification? I have my bachelors but also have my Red Seal in Culinary as im a chef by trade, im sure lots of certified electricians etc here as well. Which puts in on par with a bachelors.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Ok I did a bit more research and Apollo Spending was about 40-50% of the NASA budget from 1962-1970. That is still a massive chunk compared to today and we had way more money in general.
  23. Khalan

    The Astronomy Thread

    Thats exactly my point dude, the Apollo program succeeded in such a short time because they were given more than 4 years of the same program AND they were given WAY more of the budget (around 3-4% of total GDP, compared to 0.5% now). If NASA wants to do shit at the same speed as they did in the...

    SO much this. NASA runs on 4 year cycles due to presidents, sometimes 8. Then it all changes, new congress, etc and the programs get defunded and are forced to re-pitch ideas/start again or change direction due to new leadership. It takes them 20 years from concept to launch of most major...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Im glad you've managed to figure out how to solve the entire space program in a few minutes, Im sure the thousands of hours of NASA engineers have spent on it was a big waste.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Its still fucking peanuts. 20billion is still around 0.6% of the budget, compared to military 17%. spending which is fucking bonkers. Nasa should have at least 1%

    Star Trek Beyond (2016)

    Maybe they have a transporter that can not only transport across the galaxy but across time as well so they beam it in from 1980's earth. Sounds about right.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    So apparently Lucasfilm invited everyone who was waiting in line in to watch the premiere and attend the afterparty. Sounds like most were doing it for a charity cause, so pretty cool if they did.

    New models are nice but $200CDN for Archaon and $100 for 3 knights is completely fucked. They prices have gotten completely out of hand. Its not about not being able to afford it, as much as it is value for the money. Doesn't help the game they made them for sucks balls, I would only buy to use...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I skipped grade 8 school the entire day to camp out and get ready to watch it, spent almost a day and a half in line with a bunch of other nerds. I remember walking out and thinking it was good, but then I watched it again and realized how shit it was. I am hoping this doesn't happen again/

    I wouldn't come to this thread unless you want it spoiled. Too many mouthbreathers who want to ruin the movie for people. I would try and stick to rotten tomatoes/other review sites not full of dickheads.
