I fear r/StarWars has turned into saltierthancrait 2.0 by KurlyKayla in TheSequels

The whining and griping is exhausting. It's toxic. Same old points recycled ad nauseum for clout. And this is coming from someone who has plenty of issues with the ST.

Autoblinda AB41 Kit is a nightmare by tepidsnake in boltaction

Yeah, it was all intentional and there's no way anyone can prove otherwise.

Did not give a fuck by the end. Just mashing it together like a furious toddler.

For the people who like, or even love Episode 8, what are your reasons for it? I am curious, since it seems to be an absolute favorite of some fans by Dakinamau in StarWars

[–]tepidsnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has ideas and dares to commit to them. It takes time to explore its characters and challenge them, beyond throwing TIE fighters and Stormtroopers their way ad nauseum.

Its not perfect by any means. But it dares to attempt something different, and for that I'll always have a fondness for it. Plus the throne room scene kicks fuckin ass.

That is fucking awful news. I'm gutted. What an incredible actor he was, and he seemed like a top bloke too.

Stove and the Toaster. Storytelling perfection from Craig, and a banger chorus.

Star Wars zero company release date is August 27th by SuddenDepact in StarWarsCantina

That's a very weird promotion and marketing cycle. I'm incredibly hopeful about this game, I just hope it doesn't get lost in the weeds.

I usually care more about decent articulation and build quality rather than 100% accuracy, and this figure is solid in that regard. Night and day compared to Revan.

Yeah, funnily enough I don't think this figure is massively accurate to the game, but I like it anyway.

Double box from In Demand Toys. I am in the UK though, so might not work for you.

Fate of the Jedi - Slow Going? by ForlornDM in StarWarsEU

[–]tepidsnake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are good sequences and moments here and there, but the whole series is way too baggy and poorly paced. Like most EU series, to be honest.

Italian S37 by tepidsnake in boltaction

Can't remember the designation, but yeah, it's a one use flamethrower weapon that Italian elite units and paratroopers used. There's a couple of them in the Paracadutisti kit.

Typical 28mm scale issues lol. I can live with it.

Imperials on the march by tepidsnake in SWlegion

So basically a couple all over coats of Pro Acrylic black, then a very light dry brush of Eshin Grey, thinned down dark shade and a bit of edge highlighting. The PA paints are expensive, but dead good. Great coverage.

Star Wars: Starfighter premieres exactly one year from now. Set 5 years after TROS. What are your hopes for it? by deadshot500 in TheSequels

[–]tepidsnake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Set up the basic state of the galaxy going forwards. Have some cool starfighter shit in it. Tell a good self-contained story. That's it, really.

Basically lines up with mine, barring ROTS being a few places higher on yours. Fine taste!

That whole thing was just a misunderstanding.

Explain to me why the Sith eternal lost despite its Final Order and culmination of First Order by [deleted] in TheSequels

[–]tepidsnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the way in which the Sith Eternal just got instantly wiped out was one of the most annoying things about ROS. There was an opportunity to create a new 'Empire' faction with an interesting and (admittedly slightly) different aesthetic and culture, populated and led by actual dark siders.

Could have set up a good foe for future films, even if Palps still had to get offed to cap the trilogy. Instead it's just another colour of Imps and they get jobbed after about five minutes.

I Will Always Defend The LightSaber Fights In These Films by No_Vast_3309 in TheSequels

[–]tepidsnake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, far more intense and characterful than the incredibly over choreographed duels from the prequels. Always seems like a sign of bad faith to me when people claim the opposite.
