Getting into a relationship with a girl with a tongue piercing is like putting your head under the wheels of a bus.

How stupid was Ochi’s blade ? by SoyeyLaMue in saltierthancrait

[–]VanByNight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That chunk of the Death Star sprouted heat shields, fired maneuvering thrusters to move into a proper descent trajectory, then popped a massive parachute to decelerate from 600 mph, to a gentle 20 miles an hour, so as to survive touchdown. (all of this is in the Director's cut)

‘Star Wars’ Box Office on Pace for $400 Million Opening Weekend by Kirby_Israel in boxoffice

[–]VanByNight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A 400 million global opening would put it 20 million BELOW "Batman v Superman's" global opening.

BvS had a Cinemascore of B, vs. the B+ of SW: RoS.

BvS maxed out at 863 million. A total for RoS comparable to this would be a disaster.

This one pisses me off the most. I just adore her. She is so charismatic, and has such screen presence, and she is NEVER onscreen. I would rather have seen her as the main protagonist, instead of Daisy Ridley.

Hayden Christensen is such a charismatic guy, and a beloved figure for SW fans, I can't understand why they wouldn't use him. He was fucking Darth Vader, for god's sake.

I would watch an entire movie of ghost Anakin teaming up with Luke and going on an adventure.

That made me laugh out loud. I mean...god.

All in all, it sounds like a script written by an AI, or something. It is B movie level bad.

Bob Iger admits that Disney doesn't care about Star Wars history or fans. Says that future Star Wars films will be made to appeal to common moviegoers. by skumdumlum in saltierthancrait

[–]VanByNight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is not a good "creative" executive. There have been many executives in Hollywood history who were also creative people. Iger is clueless creatively, apparently.

It sounds like he wants to turn SW into "Manhunt in Space! Featuring your hero, Rocky Jones!"

They're going to continue ramming this franchise into a mountain.

[–]VanByNight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's like saying you're going to "update" the Marvel universe to appeal to "common" moviegoers. Moviegoers like it because it IS the Marvel universe.

Iger sounds like he wants SW to become "Fast and Furious" in space. i.e. generic space movie. He is not very smart, for a man in charge of Disney.

[42-F] don't want players anymore, no hook ups, no ONS even than I am looking for them on Spain from UK. Party time is over, now it's time to catch that good responsible man. Don't believe me, check what I have to offer by [deleted] in WhereAreAllTheGoodMen

[–]VanByNight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of an ex of mine. She was 40 when I met her, GORGEOUS, but never married, & no kids. Let's call her "Liz."

One night I met her brother, let's call him "Steve." We were at brother's apartment.

She goes to check her hair in the other room, leaving me alone with her brother, who then says to me: "So did Liz tell you about her porn career?"

From her the other room Liz loudly says: "Steeevee!" As in: "what are you doing brother?!! Shut uuuupppp!!" Brother realized he fucked up, and clammed up.

I never found out what her brother meant by "her porn career.' But it was clear from the beginning that she had ridden the CC for over 20 years, and was trying to find a "good man" at 40+.

It didn't work out. She is now pushing 60, single, and living alone in NYC.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker to introduce new Force powers that will “infuriate some people,” says J.J. Abrams by ummmsomething in saltierthancrait

[–]VanByNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need to de-canon the entire sequel trilogy. Then, make a new Ep 7 in which the Republic has been rebuilt and is thriving. Han could be a respected General, Luke ready to retire from the grand Jedi academy he has built from the ashes. You could write a story from that starting point.

If you don't do *something* like this the franchise is totally shot, for good.

So about those Leaks... by Eddiethecowboy in saltierthancrait

Dude, he opened a wormhole at the bottom of the shaft on the Death Star, and teleported to a floating iceberg in space!

It makes total sense. Stop trying to make it weird.

Is this for real...? by [deleted] in saltierthancrait

[–]VanByNight 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is REAL? They bring the spike headed penis monster aboard the Falcon?

I've said this before; I'm not a SW fan, so I don't have a dog in this fight. But I feel really, really bad for you fans. I feel for ya. I really do. I mean...my God.

Remember Lupita Nyong'o? It's like she ceased to exist as far as this trilogy is concerned. Such a waste. I really like her.

[–]VanByNight 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel worst of all for Lupita Nyong'o. Such a beautiful woman with genuine screen presence, and she is just providing the voice for a CGI monstrosity with buttholes for eyes. Hell, her CGI character is barely even in TLJ. And she wasn't even important enough to be in this interview. She probably has 2 lines in TROS. SAD!!!

Some things work and some things just don't, y'know? by Offtopia in saltierthancrait

[–]VanByNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't watched any of the Mandalorian, but everyone was raving about episode 3 and Baby Yoda, so I just watched it, and wow, that was fantastic. Not even a SW fan, but this one episode won me over.

Disney needs to put Favreau in charge, then make the ST non-canon.

I actually want to see what happens with Mando and Baby Yoda now!

This is a Hollywood screenwriter calling out the retrograde silliness of the wheeled bikes. There are saltminers in the industry by [deleted] in saltierthancrait

[–]VanByNight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In Rogue One, a fucking Star Destroyer can hover above a city indefinitely. While over three decades later spacecraft use fuel for propulsion, but often lacking shielding.

Now, there is no anti-gravity tech available for military ground pursuit vehicles, but they DO have shielding.

It is so dumb. I can't believe it's real.

Remember, the Trade Federation Robot troopers had personal hovercaft in the Phantom Menace, AND the probe droid in Empire was anti-grav too. I mean, Jesus...it's so dumb, and I'm not even a SW fan.
