    Star Wars: Ahsoka

    What if Ezra is more than just bait? What if Ezra is already dead.

    If you hear "In The Air Tonight" right before the gun battle at the dock yard, then it's the extended version. Mann wasn't forced to trim the running time at all. He was coming off of Heat and Collateral and Foxx was generating prestige Oscar buzz. There was faith that Mann could pull it...

    Star Wars Saga (OT/PT/ST) Discussion Thread

    There's apparently archive/BTS footage of Porkins in ANH. Actor struggled to get into the only human scale cockpit for the X-Wing. So he ended up, as rumor goes, being helped into it somewhat half clothed and only really having the front of his top uniform duct taped to him. The way practical...

    Was supposed to have another major gun battle that formulated the originally intended ending. But was never completely filmed.

    G.I. Joe: Classified 6" figures

    I stop by my local Target probably once a week or so to get household stuff. You want me to check for you if they have any Grunts? LMK.

    G.I. Joe: Classified 6" figures

    That the guy with the big giant duffle bag? I had that as a kid. The bag split open and I couldn't figure it out ( got it in a loose box of Joe stuff from another kid)

    Finally give Kathleen Kennedy her long awaited "self insert" character into the Star Wars universe?

    Star Wars: Ahsoka

    When Zahn conceived of Thrawn (released in the early 90's but formulated in the late 80s), the timeline back then had Hans Gruber as the new trend in what a main villain/antagonist could be. ( Refined, sophisticated, self deprecating, clever, pragmatic ) It's just porting over Alan Rickman from...

    Star Wars: Ahsoka

    Sabine is in love. Love creates the conditions where logic just sort of falls apart. She would rather be stranded and alone with Ezra, in the middle of nowhere, facing almost constant certain death, than be anywhere else where she would have status, power, legacy and constant external...

    Star Wars: Ahsoka

    Ser Davos is right. Power needs more than magic and clever tricks. You need boots on the ground. Thrawn has an army. Both sides are using each other, while it's necessary and convenient. The witches need boots on the ground to enforce their will and attain resources they can't get otherwise...

    1/6 QORANGE QOTOYS QOM-1035 Vietnam War 101st Airborne Division, Hamburger Hill (1969)

    Legitimate squad builder. Which does not come often for 1/6th VN. It's not perfect but it's a nice solid base to build a squad. Looks like MSRP is 220. If it was me, I'd make the headsculpt Arliss Howard aka Cowboy from Full Metal Jacket instead. Rifle and grenades are a bit odd. Kind of...

    1/6 DID D80168 20th Anniversary Edition WWII German Fallschirmjäger Axel

    Great thing about this hobby is you learn something new all the time. Didn't know the FJ smocks had a built in section for a flare gun ( or maybe something else as well) Doesn't look very comfortable given what one of those flare guns might likely weigh, but it's an interesting option. I...

    Star Wars: Ahsoka

    I actually enjoyed the anime Maul storyline. The stuff with his brother and Sidious trying to tie off loose ends, all that. Also, IIRC, Lucas came out and said he regretted getting rid of Maul so quickly in the PT. It's just that, and this is just me, once you bring back a guy who was cut in...

    Star Wars: Ahsoka

    So I can forgive Lucas for a lot of things. But the Kit Fisto death still bothers me. He's clearly a green tinted gangster of Corellian sized proportions. I wanted to see him slaughter like 50 Palpatine bodyguards first, then do something cool like chop off the old man's leg first. Take an arm...

    Star Wars: Ahsoka

    By the Prequel Trilogy, there was no one left who could or would tell Lucas he was off the mark or had gone too far off the edge. Francis Ford Coppola and Lucas had, in private, a huge falling out, and that removed a very needed peer/critical voice to reign in Lucas at times. The "blockade" from...

    The Marvels

    Would probably help if Captain Marvel had more limits on her powers and that was more clearly defined. In the MCU, Thor, Scarlett Witch and Hulk all had to be sidelined in the writing because they were just too powerful. Well in their comics conception. Vampire can't operate in daylight. Now...

    The Official "Behind The Scenes" TV/Movie Thread (SAG-AFTRA / WGA Strike Over Artificial Intelligence)

    Some thoughts - Bill Maher and Drew Barrymore are right in that this entire mess is far more complicated than what appears on the surface, and there are more than writers, in terms of working class people, who are being hit right now. But the fair question is should they be the ones to say it...
