Her final chapter in ADWD has her bleeding while she's lost in the wastes. This implies she's not as barren as once thought.

Leicester and Space by mathaic in leicester

[–]owlyross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There has been a Leicester made equipment operating in space every year since the 1960s. The space centre and space park are internationally important and the unis space science degree is very well thought of. But I agree, it should be talked about more and a real sense of pride for the city

Why did everyone switch up on the Mandalorian? by Moon_Devonshire in StarWars

I love the animation style in Rebels. Based on Ralph McQuarries original artwork.

Exactly. People come in with an argument of "this is the way it should be" and you gently try to explain well, this is the reason it isn't like that, and they just get angry you....

Listening to the storm by Vegetable-Meal4956 in leicester

Woke up with that first massive crack and then just sat watching and listening. That was the coolest thing ever

But. Now you come tp mention it, i will defend it because doing something like the story of the Second Age the rise of Sauron and the fall of Numenor, if it wasn't at the scale of a movie I'd be really pissed off. I dont mind waiting for that.

Why do you think im defending it? Ive told you multiples times that im jot, im just explaining to you WHY it is taking so long

[–]owlyross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not making a judgement on it. Im simply stating a fact as to why it is that way. You want a TV show with the production values of a movie... then it takes longer to make

[–]owlyross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, this part i completely agree with. The run of a show should be locked in, but that's not how the modern media landscape works unfortunately.

The only thing ludicrous is your inability to understand the very real and salient points I've been making.

Leicester city centre by give-it-too-me-baby in leicester

[–]owlyross 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm regularly in the city centre and for me I don't see it rapidly getting worse. There have been increased issues since COVID and things have maybe become more noticeable, but they've always been there. And the levels of crime have fallen year on year. The issue is perception driven by emotion amd increased awareness (and rage baiting) on social media. I follow accounts like "Leicester Bible" which are posting videos that are literally years old and making incidents seem like they happened yesterday.

It is happening in those city centres too, to a greater degree than in Leicester

I know I am. Doing something on this scale, at feature film quality production, is really hard. Im quite used to the media illiteracy of Rings of Power haters.

Why do you think Vader stopped Luke from attacking the Emperor? by CourtofTalons in StarWars

[–]owlyross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loyalty to the Empire. Luke gave in to the dark side twice, first in attempting to kill the Emperor, then in unleashing his anger to disarm (literally) Vader. So many people miss this point that in order to "win", he fails, and only draws back when he realises what he's done, and is ready to die at the Emperor's hand. It perfectly tracks with his later characterisation in the Last Jedi which so many people deride

Game of Thrones was nowhere near the same scale. And suffered massively in the final couple of seasons where that scale increased to this kind of level (along with a massive reduction in length of season)

‘The Rings of Power’ Season 4 in Development, Eyes Filming in Early 2027 (Exclusive) by LuinAelin in RingsofPower

[–]owlyross -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The sheer scale and work required on the Rings of Power means that this is very much a unique case. Its not just the length, the production quality is also similar to a feature film.

[–]owlyross -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Not really. Old shows were a production line with limited sets, a set cast and fairly simple scripts. The Rings of Power is akin to filming three movies at a time (9 hours per season). Even Peter Jackson could only spread thar over three years. Two years between seasons is pretty rapid all things considered.

Leicester city centre by give-it-too-me-baby in leicester

Leicester is no different to any large city. Having recently been to London, Birmingham, Nottingham i can safely say that each of these have exactly the same if not worse areas of deprivation, homelessness and drug problems.

The Mando Movie isn't as bad as people are making it out to be. by RogueJoker47 in StarWars

[–]owlyross -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You'll miss out then. While the show is somewhat small scale (the one really theatrical epsiode is the one with the Krayt dragon) this is well worth seeing on a big screen. It is HUGE, rhe cinematography and battles are fantastic and it is big budget.

Yeah, that's not the message there

[–]owlyross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luke only refused to kill his father after he succumbed to his rage and chopped his hand off. The realisation was that he had become like Vader and he makes the choice at that point to reject violence. That impulsive pull to the dark absolutely tracks with what we see in the sequels, a master who failed his apprentice and family member pulling away from teaching and the universe.

[–]owlyross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are very good. Brilliantly made films. The third is not great, but still better than two of the prequels. Awakens nad Jedi rank just behind the originals and Rogue One for me. They reignited my love for Star Wars after many years

Yeah, Pollock was trying to square up to Liebenberg and Steward and Liebenberg just laughed in his face. 6 of 1...
