    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    The whole point of the character of Kylo Ren WAS to show that he is Pee Wee Herman compared to Vader's Lecter.. All I'm saying is there are similarities between the characters, and Vader was not "epic badass" 100% of the time, just like Kylo Ren was not whiny 100% of the time. Characters that...

    Obviously not facial expressions with a mask on, but emotion can be apparent even through a mask depending on other factors, such as body language, head tilt, camera angle, lighting, etc.. Are you telling me Vader looks absolutely the same while he is strangling Admiral Ozzel and when he is...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I'm quite confident we'll see a much more badass Kylo Ren down the line, but I wanted to argue that point about Vader. In my opinion, Vader did not start changing only after he removed his mask. The first changes could be seen already in subtle gestures or his tone even with the helmet/mask...

    If you're going to use the boost, make sure your character is level 60 when you boost so the boost will also boost your professions to 600. If you do it under 60, you'll have to level up professions yourself. As for the panther mounts cost for doing it yourself, the main chunk in the price is...

    Holy shit I hadn't watched the very last second before the ending, after the credits.. that was pretty damn funny.

    Thanks for these recommendations. I just ordered the first book of Play to Live, it's getting raving reviews everywhere I checked so I might as well try it out. Shame it's not very available though, only paperbacks and not even in all countries, I had to order from another country's Amazon!

    This is the transmog I went with for my Sunwalker Paladin. I chose colors that represented both the sunlight and a tribal feel to them (brown, red, and the feathers give a tribal look I think). The shoulders/helm, visor and shield all have glowing yellow lights, and the axe itself glows yellow...

    Yeah I wasn't an alt person, in fact I played only one toon (warrior) from vanilla until cataclysm when they made everything account-wide, because my main problem with alts was having to redo everything on another toon.. Since then I've maxed out a rogue, warlock, monk, hunter, death knight and...

    I do Dragon Soul on 4 characters, and was doing Ulduar on 8 characters until I recently got Mimiron's Head after 272 attempts ;-) I'm only doing Elegon and Throne of Thunder on my main though because my other toons cannot do it yet, I'm not very well geared and cannot be bothered to actually...

    Finally fished up enough Lunarfall Carps and killed enough Lunarfall Cavedwellers to loot my Riding Turtle mount, so that's done. Took 90 attempts if anyone's interested, even though I expected tons more time spent on it because according to my addon 90 was only giving me a 35% chance of...

    I'm sure you'll forget that quickly but it wasn't Coruscant, it was Hosnian Prime. After the New Republic was founded, they decided it was not fair for the Senate to always be established on a capital world, so it moves around every few years, and it was there at that time.

    The Death Star 2 in ROTJ could fire shots every 5 minutes, so it would have taken about 20 minutes to destroy the Hosnian system.

    As terrible as those worms were, they are astoundingly NOT a movie thing only, they are briefly mentionned in passing in the book as "wereworms", but are never part of the Battle of the Five Armies (then again we hardly see the battle in the book). That whole third movie definitely looked like a...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Correct, but Vader was Tarkin's underling at the time, not his equal. He became the Emperor's right-hand only in the sequels. General Hux is the military equivalent to Kylo Ren, Snoke uses both for what they bring him, and probably also plays them against one another. For giggles.

    That's what I got from it too. Right after he stabbed through his father, the look on his face looked like he was thinking "Why don't I feel better? I should be feeling better! I wanted to do this for so long!" but I think it didn't work out the way he thought, and it probably made him more...

    I'm not saying it's what I personnally want the character to be, I'm just saying it's what I expect may happen. Star Wars has been very cyclical so far, and considering this is basically ANH 2.0 (as much as I enjoyed it), I would not be surprised to see Kylo Ren evolve in that direction...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I doubt the big plan over the trilogy is to end up with Kylo Ren being seen as "the villain". Much like Vader did not end up as "the villain" in the classic trilogy, I expect Kylo Ren will go through several trials that I would not be surprised to see end in redemption or self-sacrifice...

    Joking aside, I agree with this paragraph about how showing Kylo Ren's face was a great move. Sure, everyone loves a menacing villain and Driver's face definitely does not make him intimidating, with his glorious Jon Snowesque curls. But the point isn't to make him scary in the movie...

    This opinion comes from the fact that Yoda and the Emperor are both considered the masters of their particular side of the Force, and as such their powers have grown beyond requiring weapons. Look at the poor opinion Palpatine has of lightsabers when he handles Luke's. In fact, I'm pretty sure...

    As far as my memory goes, we saw Yoda's saber fall to the bottom of the senate and he never gets it back before escaping, so I believe it was lost at that moment. Then again, Yoda even using a saber was always a bad decision to me, he should have been only badass powers.

    Uh wrong again. He doesn't introduce BB-8 to Artoo, in fact you can clearly see BB-8 goes to Artoo to check on him, and C3PO goes "Aww BB-8, don't you remember our good friend Artoo is in sleep mode since years ago?" To be fair THAT sentence was exposition for the audience, but apparently it...

    You definitely should. You can get 2 pets and 2 mounts from that (technically the pets can be bought since they're not soulbound though). The waterwalker recolor is cool looking and pretty rare to see, and the turtle is super rare and normally goes for a pretty penny on eBay so it's worth...

    Because BB-8 is Poe's astromech droid, Poe is a prominent member of the Resistance, and as such they've met quite a few times before, possibly for years? You should go see the movie I think.

    I don't get the complaint about "half the infinity stones" being on Earth... In the MCU movies, we have seen the Tesseract was on Earth... The Aether was locked away in one of the Ygdrassil worlds that Natalie Portman got sent into accidently in Thor 2.. so not Earth. The stone from...

    I too prefered that Kylo Ren spoke with an empty helmet. It lets you believe what you want, whether he really saw visions or he is himself delusional. In fact, despite Force Ghosts being officially real in the story, I always thought it would be better if we were certain they aren't really...
