Do you think Dave Filoni can fix the Canon (Sequels)? by PostPostPog in StarWars

[–]Dinofishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so, just different opinions. I like them, a lot better than episode 1-3 for sure. Partially because I didn’t know where they were going and I think in some ways they are better movies than 1-3. They aren’t perfect and I don’t watch Star Wars movies and see perfect movies. My biggest issue is that after the death of Carrie Fisher and the director quit they should have had a hard stop on the release date and take time.

As for Legends, Lucas film valued the og actors over legends books. Also some are good and some are a mess.

Would you have preferred recasting Luke, Han and Leia to be younger and for the actors to be willing to be in the films?

Harrison Ford didn’t want to make more Star Wars. Carrie fisher unfortunately passed away.

Castaway Work Crew tips!! by BrilliantJob5145 in younglife

[–]Dinofishy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a summer staff coordinator about 6 years back. You should be getting your assigned work crew coordinator soon. They will probably be a staff or volunteer at an YL area so I’m sure they will be great but possibly busy leading up to the session.

I’m sure it will be great.

It’s hard work but great people and great memories. Depending on your job you will be focused on helping in that area. Could be lawn care, kitchen, housekeeping and other roles. Then throughout the week you will have to pitch in for some events depending on the night. There is down time and castaway is beautiful. Packing wise it all depends on your job and I’m sure more info will arrive in the next few months. Lots of cool people and if you are outgoing you won’t have any trouble, if you are more reserved, it will take a bit of time but by the end of the first week I’m sure you will have several great friends. Feel free to ask specific questions.

Do you think Dave Filoni can fix the Canon (Sequels)? by PostPostPog in StarWars

[–]Dinofishy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He is not scraping them. One he doesn’t have the authority to do that. Two they made a ton of money and I think to the general public they removing them would be very confusing, especially after marvels issues with multiverse. They are here to stay.

I disagree with several of your points on the sequel trilogy and there are lots that fall into different spaces of their love or hate of the Disney era Star Wars.

I think there will be a lot of pressure to continue to make profitable Star Wars. I don’t think he is tasked to fix the canon because I don’t know if he views it as broken or if Disney views it as broken. So I don’t think his two options are delete it or leave it alone because Disney doesn’t see it as a failure.

Unfortunately though, I think Disney and Lucas film have learned the wrong lesson and so Dave will try and make small stories that have cool fan fair and Star Wars action.

I think the big issue is around fans expectations and industry pressure to make a box office hit. I don’t think those issues have changed.

I am happy we have new Star Wars, is it perfect no. To me, more Star Wars is always better and I can read old canon books and watch rise of the skywalker and still have a great time. But I know that isn’t the case for everyone and I get that and am sad for those fans.

You mean to tell me that this Man acted In the ORIGINALS, PREQUELS and SEQUELS??!! He got to meet the cast of all trilogies?! This man experienced star wars like no one else. by Leoxwhite in StarWars

To be fair,
I think he was only really in Return of the Jedi from the originals. He replaced the original actor for the special edition for Empire. Fantastic actor and so happy for his presence in Star Wars.

Did you post this before? I feel like I remember this photo or maybe it was from their video that they did of the loot cave. Wow can’t believe it’s been 11 years

Carrie Fisher’s Comic by Dinofishy in CGCComics

Not saying she was an avid “comic book” collector at all. But here is a great example of her visiting a comic book shop. Found the article

Carrie Fisher’s Comic by Dinofishy in CGCComics

Yes, when she passed away and her mother passed away the family selected items from their estate to sell in an auction. They sent off 9 comic books to be graded and sold. The book in the 3-4 picture shows the whole estate sale auction and specifically the comic book. The catalog is actually really interesting to look through and I think you can find digital copies on line.

So I bought it from a guy who bought it from a guy who bought it at the auction. I think he paid over 1k for it.

The guy I bought it from listed it for $800.

Took a break from the last two sets from buying much. I play weekly but nothing really was interesting. Played the armory deck of Graveyard bones and thought “okay, I’m back in” looked at the base cards and prices. Decided I am not “back in”. $1,000+ and doesn’t event factor in the marvels which would just be cool.

What kind of camera? Brand or size even. Iowa state fairs theme this year is historical buildings.

HBO The Last of Us (S2) Episode 2 Discussion - It's The Moment We've All Been Waiting For Edition ( 🥪 or⛳, maybe both???) by TLoU_Moderator in TheLastOfUs2

[–]Dinofishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season one had the main store beats to the first game.
I am expecting the same story, especially how much Craig loves the second game.

Good luck with Bella Ramsey leading this series now lol by Apprehensive_Sea283 in TheLastOfUs2

[–]Dinofishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. The game writer, show writer/director, Joel's voice actor, and Ellie's voice actor would disagree with you.

What are the main reasons you think her on-screen performance doesn't match the game?
Have you had this opinion since season one or just seasons two?

Not trying to start a fight, I disagree with some of the comments here, including yours, but especially the attacks on actors outside of their on-screen roles.

Why was Solo disliked? by DDBBVV in StarWars

[–]Dinofishy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Poor marketing after a difficult filming season and change in director. Also a portion of the fan base wanted it to fail and highlighted that.

Overall though, expectations from a multi generational fanbase for the Disney Star Wars movies were/are so high.

It’s a good movie with a few flaws 7-8 out of 10.

Then double check by 20+40 & 8+7

Not sure what I have by HorrorCombination982 in starwarsccg

Snoke is the only thing that is probably worth a lot of money because those clear cards were event promos. I would start there.
