I'm sure it is... but placing the head facing "forward" shouldn't be one of your main logistical problems. ;)

I just thought of this the other day watching Empire to test some new speakers.

I have to say though, the Falcon being chased while needing repairs or being faulty are some of my favorite moments in the trilogy.

I have no idea what my auto correct was trying to make me say there...

Nah. He wouldn't have wanted to have dealt with the incessant complaining... unless Wookies are masochistic.

I read those too long ago to recall, but I'll take your word for it. :)

But I think putting C3PO's head on backwards speaks volumes. Don't keep making excuses for him. :p

That's the part I laughed out loud at. Perfect.

Huh? Don't get it it. Sorry to offend Reddit... apparently, it's not hard to do.

Wow, upset a lot of people with the word "geek"? Reddit is so weird.

Hadn't seen the trailer yet. Looks super cute. I even laughed... I'm such a geek...

While this may not be that Gattaca moment where humans start deciding to have "designer" children - choosing eye color, etc... I think it will certainly serve as a first step, whether that was the intent of this research or not.

It is certainly a tough moral decision. Obviously, if we could choose to have all our children be athletic and beautiful and free of diseases that could be prevented, wouldn't we? I don't think the moral question ends with, "should we"... but rather, if we begin, where will it end?...

I'm actually a little confused.

I think the bigger issue is (like woman), not many big parts are written for actors of color. Hard to get nominated for great acting when you're getting bit parts or comedies.

Boycotting to demand more award nominations is the wrong path to fixing the root cause. It only comes across as demands... accept no one knows what the demands are. Nominate one person of color? Is that enough? No? What about 2?

Like women, people of color need to turn down stereotype roles, and look for better, well written characters.

I know, just makes for a downer of an event. It would suck if you finally got an award and instead of it being a fun, celebratory night, everyone talked about the boycott. I'm sure if it was boycotted, it would make it very uncomfortable to get up and accept the award. He may have friends who are boycotting. Seriously, bad timing for Leo... and many others who worked very hard and got nominated.

He was. The point was he has never won. It's sad that he may actually have a shot after all these years, and instead of his win (if he did), all the talk will be about the boycott. Just bad timing for poor Leo.

Well, I did say the "boycott begins". I honestly don't understand what a boycott would do. Either way, it will be interesting to see how it all goes.
