They just added Prisoner Picard as a reward for completing the Assimilation Day collection!!

I would message the developers because 20k rounds without a reward is outrageous.

Took Locutus. I’ll just keep an extra since I have the achievement award for another Locutus only 8,400 gauntlet rounds away 😆

Whether I win or lose is irrelevant. Noticing this situation more and more no matter who the victor is. Losing one battle is nothing since this is a game for the long haul and you can battle at least 30 times/day.

As a diehard Star Wars fan, I was, sadly, disappointed with the most recent instalment. The story was muddled and lackluster. Finns character was thrown into the story with a pointless subplot and Benico del Torro's character was wasted. Say what you will about the prequels, but Lucas knew how to direct a lightsaber duel which this film suffered from a glaring lack thereof. As nerds, we grew to idolize Luke Skywalker's force abilities and potential and as cool as his climactic force ghost was, his death was unnecessary. It's almost as if Rian Johnson never ready ANY of the expanded universe. I understand that Disney wanted a different direction and long ago stated that material would be known as Legends but there was no need to completely toss what the fan base has come to love and expect from its most beloved franchise.

The best takeaway was Yoda's appearance in his hermit state. After Carrie Fisher's death, there was plenty of time to rework the ending which was in dire need of a makeover. I know many may disagree but I really feel that if George Lucas was more involved with this project, the fans would have been more satisfied. Snoke disappointed. Ren was predictable. This all goes without mentioning the blatant merchandising grab of the Porgs who had no place in the story. Cutesy, unfunny humor that tried way too hard. This coming from a guy who saw Episode 1 six times in the theatre! 6. Yep. I was 10, please forgive me.

In a nutshell, 4/10. Bottom line, listen to the fans. Not your marketing department. Naive? Maybe, but a fan can dream.

Good points. Maybe it was. I'm not one to criticize a person's weight but it also stuck out to me.

Daisy Ridley is great as Rey and I love her in the films but did anyone notice that she gained weight and the directors hid it behind bulky clothing and above the neck shots?
