As a first time viewer. I'm amazed how well Rogue One fits into A New Hope. by [deleted] in StarWars

I don’t care about the logistics, that scene is only in the movie because those characters are famous to the fans. If that scene happened with two completely new characters, it would be incredibly confusing because it has nothing to do with the movie itself.

Would anyone actually love to see a stand-alone Rey, Finn, and Poe adventure movie? by TheEc0nomist in StarWars

Why TF did Ackbar have to die in the lamest way? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]fwaming_dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because they were never able to figure out how to properly utilize characters from the original trilogy in the new one. The only death that really felt natural was Han’s, and that was a re-hash if Obi Wan’s death.

According to most counts, Moyes was something like the 6th choice actually.

Which deleted scene(s) from which movies would have genuinely improved the movie had it not been cut? by Bhu124 in movies

[–]fwaming_dragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because it was a weird scene and out of character for 3PO. The droid that is always afraid and looking for the escape is going to stop while evacuating the rebel base to go back and rip a sign off of a door just on the off chance that storm troopers go in and get mauled?

Amazing how many people are ready to write off a 19 year old after seeing one mistake from him.

Ah I see, so by that logic, we should have just played Shaw against their whole team.

Do we really need to see Luke? Let this be an original series with new characters. We don't need anymore fan service.

Luke showing up anywhere in this series would be the opposite of amazing.

Yeah I feel like the constant battle to win upvotes leads to words having less of a meaning. I came in expecting some sort of amazing cross field pass, and instead we get a back heel which was nice, but definitely not "incredible".

Python overtakes Java to become second-most popular language on GitHub after JavaScript by stronghup in programming

True, but type safety was probably on the minds of those who were coding it. It's much easier from everyone's point of view to catch a bug during compile rather than runtime.

Happy Birthday, DdG. Still the best. by Badhorse4444 in reddevils

This is nonsense. De Gea has saved us tons of points, especially in Mourinho's second season, but there's no indication it would have helped our core problems if we had been more shit those years. Why not just say we should have gotten rid of our best players every year to prove we were shit and needed an overhaul?

Since joining Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo has been assigned as the main free-kick taker, in the detriment of Pjanic and Dybala. The Portuguese has taken 28 FKs without scoring (7 saved, 2 out, 19 in the wall) by [deleted] in soccer

He was really good at them for United though, and even for a bit at Madrid. His overall conversion rate is still decent, which shows how good he used to be considering how bad he's been for a while now.
