Jar Jar basically took down an entire division of troops by accident as well. Also you're ignoring R2's role in everything which is criminal

Even as the Chosen One, he still was taken in for training at a young age, much younger than either Luke or Rey. Doesn't strike me as nearly as big of a Mary Sue as Rey in that case. If Rey is "another" Chosen One, you'd think there'd at least be reference to a prophecy or some such regarding...

"Royal" Jedi Bloodline assumes Skywalker or some throwback tie in to Kenobi or something. I'm saying it would be better if she has SOME connection in order for Luke/Anakin's old lightsaber to call to her the way it did, or it's just another Mary Sue plot device that detracts from TFA and the...

No I'll do it, if she literally has no connection to nothing and is just some rando Mary Sue, I'll do the 3 month avatar. It'll just be another sign Episode IX will suck, though.

Hahaha well the whole idea of JJ having Luke/Anakin's old lightsaber "calling" to her in TFA would seem to indicate SOMETHING other than "lol Force sensitive". I'm not saying she had to be a Skywalker, etc...but some sort of link to explain that would be a bit better context. Honestly a lot of...

You're betting that JJ sticks with the "Rey's parents were just junk dealers with zero significance whatsoever and she had zero connections to Skywalker's old training facility or any other bloodline with even slight significance?"

As I noted earlier, I don't buy for a second JJ isn't going to be like "he was just fucking with you Rey, you're bloodline is actually X".

Given we're talking about faster than light travel, turbolasers, etc...a lightsaber really doesn't seem all that crazy. Again you don't see nearly as many complaints about Luke's projecting an image of himself for Kylo to fight halfway across the galaxy...b/c we can at least buy it in the...

Is it though? 7 other movies (8 if you count Vader's brief appearance in R1) with Force users and we've seen nothing remotely similar...but we'll debut it with the one "Jedi" who we're not even sure is actually a Jedi b/c we've seen zero training for her and virtually zero Force use from her...

Ghosts don't really move the needle for me as far as explaining survival in a vacuum. Edit: No I didn't see Solo. TLJ sealed that I wouldn't be seeing that in theaters unless actual reviews on here and elsewhere from people who saw it were out of this world.

I think Darth Maul is getting different treatment now, especially with Clone Wars announcement. Also no amount of head canon work made Leia Poppins work for me.

I liked the fight scene against Snoke's guards with Kylo and Rey working together in that instance. Obviously you could nitpick the fight scene in certain spots (and I think how Snoke was killed was stupid), but for the most part it was fun and helped play with that dynamic of will they work...

That's exactly what you're doing, but in reverse trying to justify it as not bad. Doing so with bad examples, and outright incorrect facts from the Original Trilogy to boot. I even stated in my first response to you it wasn't even nearly the worst thing about the movie, just definitely a...

None of those examples were a lone X wing pilot chilling in front of a major battleship attempting to "troll" the head of the Imperial military. Try again Scream. Major reason why the rest of those examples worked and the Poe/Hux one didn't.

Moving them goal posts fast eh? Now it wasn't about "checking" Dantooine at all. Also when did I say threatening Leia with Alderaan was some "stroke of genius" plan of his? I think you're confusing me with someone else again. All of the admirals and officers getting choked out by Vader in...

Now who didn't watch the movies? Tarkin even notes if the Rebel base was at Dantooine it was far too remote for a proper demonstration, Alderaan was toast the second she said Dantooine (cmon bro).

I never said Tarkin, you're quoting others there. Nor did I come in and say he was a badass. Keep up Scream. None of the comparisons you've tried to make have been apples to apples, and you're smart enough to know that.

Harrison: Belichick far better coach than Tomlin Title slightly misleading, Harrison does say Tomlin is a good coach, just thinks he needs to adapt more of a disciplined style.

Large gray area between respected military on the level of a Thrawn and the guy who got Bart Simpson'd. Come on Scream. Being subordinate to a Sith like Kylo is hardly as bad as he looks at the start of TLJ. This is basic stuff, man.

So basically the entire World of Ruin?

That's who 3PO is, and is supposed to be throughout all the movies. Quite different than General Hux getting turned into Moe from the Simpsons. Sorry man, it just came off different and bad to myself and many others. Again wasn't like that was the worst part of the movie by any stretch. It...

I didn't read to see he had turned it off. Obviously I watched the whole movie, wasn't like the joke itself was a movie killer for me. There was all the bad plot decisions and pointless side quests with bad character development (all my opinion of course) that helped kill it for me. That joke...

Going to have to disagree with you on this one Scream. As others noted, it's one thing for Han to fail trying to act nonchalant to some random peon button pusher, it's quite another when it's Poe and the head hancho of the First Order military running a Bart Simpson prank call gag.

Liverpool seal record deal for goalkeeper Alisson

I think it's been pretty much confirmed since they showed the Hound alive still that first time. Just more hype for no reason. April is a long way away.

Game of Thrones Fans Think The Mountain Just Confirmed the Cleganebowl Will Happen in Season 8

My body is ready.

That's tragic. Thoughts for his family.

Thank goodness.

Not arguing against it as I didn't follow Giroud's career all that closely, but didn't he have assists on two FA Cup winning goals in recent years? Although we might only think of the FA Cup Final as a "big game" for Arsenal.

High-Energy 'Ghost Particle' Traced to Distant Galaxy in Astronomy Breakthrough

France eliminated the King of the Black Arts in Suarez already this tournament. While distasteful, I'll pass them today given that every other team would do the exact same thing. I'm sure had the 1-0 been reversed, we would have seen Hazard and others waste time for every slight touch as well.

Hazard too good for refs to even ref him properly.

I feel bad for him. Unless a miracle happens and it doesn't suck.

Shit my bad you're like serious into it. I was disappointed all we got was the submersible getting gulped and not even a real shot of it, then the teaser at the end of the movie chasing the surfers. Literally just wanted to see Mosa eat some more people. Could care less about continuity of...

Yeah like I said, it ended up literally a throwaway line because all they do is say it, and never follow up b/c some other thing happens forcing the usual "oh shit need to run" which is most of the movie. I'm glad they retconned Mosasaurus lagoon being connected, I just wish we could have seen...

Saw this the other day, it was whatevs. I like that they tried to call the female lead out on basically being a shitty person in the last one, thought that shit was funny, even if it never was resolved it just was a throwaway line. Same with calling out Chris Pratt's character. The movie...

If we can end up with France v. Belgium and Croatia v. England I'm going to be pretty pumped for the semis.

And it's over. Haha.
