Nice! I'm sure that will help! I'd imagine a bunch of Flex's at once would really suck. Especially if you don't have anything shipping out to you that month. Its like you just spent a lot of money and got nothing lol. Thats a good plan you've got there. Lets see how well you stick to it a couple of months from now .

You've got those nice 2 tier Bestas, so if they ever make a Hawkman thats really wide you could always just put him on top of one of those if he won't fit in a PAX. Booster Gold would be cool! I don't really know what I'm hoping for. I'd love to see a Phasma PF. I think if I do more SW I'm going to stick to helmeted characters from this point forward, as their human PFs sculpts can be hit or miss, and the paint they chose for their flesh tones isn't so stellar. Definitely not up to HTs level anyways.

I've got all these shows I gotta watch, I'm just too lazy. I'm literally looking at my PlayStation controller across the room from me, and I just can't bring myself to go and get it, turn it on and fire up Netflix or HBO. Its just too much work LOL.

Sticking with helmeted characters is a good idea, that's exactly what I was going to do if I continued collecting SW PFs. It's funny because people recommend only buying SS 1/6 scale figures that are aliens, droids, or helmeted as well. Pretty sad they charge as much as they do and it's generally advised to stay away from their human sculpts. It's easier with the comic book characters since they don't have one specific look like actors do.

That is an impressive level of laziness, ha ha. Although I have all these movies I need to watch and I'm usually too lazy to get up to put them in so I won't judge.

I feel your pain man. Had that happen to me once. You have some good options at least?

LOL! I used to hang out with a guy who was super negative about everything. The only SW movie ever made, in his opinion, is ESB. No other one exists to him. Needless to say, it was a short lived friendship.

And they look sleek as hell. I'd love to have those for some of my SW stuff, but everything I have is too heavy. They are more made for 1/6 stuff, and those display just awesome floating on a wall.



We watched them around Christmas time IIRC, but I do the Dock Breach scene as a demo all the time.

LOL! I may just skip putting anything on those.



It's called Disney cracking that whip and threatening to take the SW license away from SS if they don't start producing.



I agree! Keep the Stormtrooper!



No, the Stormtroopers outfit is not as cool as Phasmas. Still, the Stormy is an iconic figure.

$495 - $549. Seriously! Just wait!




Watching the extras for TFA, it seems Phasma was added late when Kathleen Kennedy saw the design and said it needed to be in the movie. The fact we got Phasma at all is pretty lucky since it was a design for Kylo Ren that was tossed in favor of his current design. I will say though that it was a missed opportunity by Abrams to have her fight Finn instead of "TR8R."

I ended up signing up at another small gym that just opened near my house. I know the owner, he's a competitive natural bodybuilder and has the biggest legs ever. He was actually told by the judges that he's too bottom heavy, probably the only time I've ever heard that, ha.

Yeah I saw someone on one forum saying they hadn't made a good SW movie since A New Hope originally came out. I can't tell if people online actually believe that or if they are just major trolls.

That's interesting about Phasma, I wasn't aware she was a late addition. Hopefully they have something bigger for her planned, she definitely should be looking for revenge.

Are you going to order the FO Stormtrooper? Is there anything you're hoping for at SDCC this year? A Mace Windu PF is long overdue. I'm hoping eventually Hot Toys decides to visit the prequels. Would love an Obi-Wan, Maul, Windu, Anakin, Dooku, Palpatine, and Padme (preferably in her white outfit) from them. A die cast Grievous would be pretty epic too.

I think Empire is phenomenal, but I also think they are all phenomenal. I couldn't imagine liking only one movie of this entire epic saga, or hating any of them either. I do get fed up with a lot of people online that also refuse to acknowledge the greatness in any of the others other than Empire.

Okay guys, I guess I'll keep the Stormie lol.

I'm betting the F.O. Trooper will be at least $500. Igo chimed in on SF to say there will be an EX. Wonder what it could be. He said it won't be a Finn helmet with a bloody hand print.

I also think a lot of the human characters I would want probably won't be made into PF if they haven't been by now. The Jedi Luke and Anakin PFs are definitely my favorite human SW PFs they've ever done and both of the heads were sculpted by Trevor Grove, who was I think one of SS's best sculptors. He does most of his work for Tweeterhead now and sculpted the TH Catwoman, which is why that looks so good . If SS would ever make a Qui-Gon PF that would be a pretty much automatic buy for me as long as it turned out well, same for a Mace Windu PF. But since they probably won't do those I'll probably just stick to helmeted characters or aliens from this point forward.

If HT does a Maul I might go for that and get one of those little single display case things for it.

Yeah, I agree getting up to put a movie into the player can be a bit too much some days LOL.

I had that Jedi Luke and agree that it looked good. I actually thought the Obi-Wan and Tarkin sculpts were pretty good too. Some of the earlier Lukes, Han, and Leia sculpts kind of looked meh in pictures. I've never seen them in person though.

What do you think of the 1/6 SS Maul? There is something about HTs that are just better for whatever reason. I think it might have something to do with the bodies they use compared to SS.

I forgot about Qui-Gonn! Add him to the list HT needs to do! Actually there are a bunch of aliens that need to be done still too: Ackbar, Nien Nunb, Wicket, heck even Jar-Jar has never gotten the 1/6 treatment.

The Han is definitely not the greatest, but I really like the character so it was a must have. That Tarkin actually looks really good from the pics I've seen. That first Luke is horrible though LOL. And although I like Leia I just don't like either of the 2 PFs they've done of her enough to spend what they go for. Which is fine because 95% of the toys I bought as a kid were dudes anyways as I obviously found myself relating to them more, so with statues its still the same lol.

I don't really see Ray Park in the 1:6 SS. Which is a shame because they've done a good job capturing his likeness in other lines they've done. The price on that thing is ridiculous anyways, it comes with practically nothing, not even the cloak, and not even a stand! I would have expected a HT version of him to cost what the SS version is, but I'd never pay that for a SS 1:6.

I'm a Jar Jar fan, so I'd definitely get a PF of him if they'd ever make him. That will never happen though. Maybe HT will make him one day, but only if they are doing every character as 99% of the planet seems to hate him.

That's funny you mention that about toys when you were a kid. I remember I got a girl GI Joe for a birthday once when I was younger (I think it was Scarlett). My friend and I immediately smashed it with a brick later that day, ha. Did you have any of the original Star Wars toys when you were a kid? I had the Millennium Falcon and a Hoth playset along with a few figures.

The bad thing about these standalone SW movies (toy-wise) is that it will keep diverting Hot Toys' attention away from the OT and PT. It would have been nice to have a year break for them to focus on the older movies. They were releasing OT figures at a crazy rate there for a while, now it's slowed way down to focus on TFA figures.

Ha! Excellent! I got the original Leia and Droids from my older cousin when I was a kid, when she found out I was really into SW. They aren't complete with their accessories, but I thought it was really cool to have some of the original toys. I still have them laying around somewhere.

I haven't paid much attention to everything HT is cranking out with SW because its been way too rapid lol. Have they gotten to characters from Empire and Jedi yet? I know they were going crazy with stuff from ANH before they breached off into TFA. I don't know what they are going to do with all of these upcoming movies because they aren't nearly done with TFA. Can you imagine if they do all the characters from Maz's cantina? That will be a couple grand worth of stuff there at least.

Well technically the Boba is a RotJ version, otherwise they just announced ESB Yoda (and they made that Bespin Luke a few years ago). I could see them just making Lando (and the obvious cash grab Stormie Han) after Yoda and calling it good for the OT. But I've also heard the guy at HT who pushed for the license is a huge SW fan which I think is pretty evident by the extravagant displays they've had at conventions. So maybe they'll make more minor characters from the OT, who knows. Obviously I'm hoping they do as I still have a pretty huge HT wish list plus SW fans are crazy and would buy every character HT put out!

I really don't see them making random characters from Maz's cantina though. I imagine after Poe they may be done with TFA. Luke, Leia, Maz, and Snoke will all be in future movies so they could wait on them. Plus I haven't seen any of the TFA stuff selling out like the OT figures have been.

I'd love to have the income that those people have! I keep forgetting about that Bespin Luke lol. I'm sure they will make quite a lot of the minor OT characters, even SS has, and I've seen quite a few people that are going to completely swap their SS 1:6 SW collection for HTs. This is still really early on for the SW HT license. I'm wondering how long until they hit the prequels. If they wait until after the end of the ST and spinoffs thats really going to suck, although I guess it really doesn't matter for me as I will just be enjoying them through people's pictures lol.

I don't think we're going to see anything Snoke related until after we know for sure who he is. I read that one of the executives from LFL completely debunked the rumor that he's Plagueis. But that could just be them trying to use some misdirection.

So Star Wars Celebration Europe is in less than a couple of months, I hope we get to see another Rogue One trailer.

 

[STARKILLER 1138]

Seriously amazing setup i am sooo jealous lol!

Thanks man. You're too kind.

That's interesting about Phasma, I wasn't aware she was a late addition. Hopefully they have something bigger for her planned, she definitely should be looking for revenge.

Yeah, probably. Not sure from where though. A Mace Windu PF would be sweet, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm more excited to see what XM will do. That's if they ever do it! LOL!

I think they do, actually. I thought I read somewhere that she would have more action scenes.

I read that same comment on FB once. Seems like the go to phrase for haters, LOL!

Right on! LMK his name so I can look him up.

I know alot of collectors stick with a theme like dark side characters, OT characters, helmeted characters, etc. when it comes to collecting statues. For me, from now forward, it'll be a character that adds something to my collection. Not just something I "have to have" because in my mind I have to have'em all! I'm really limiting myself to just one or 2 a year from now on. That's if I even get any more PF's.

I think Empire is phenomenal, but I also think they are all phenomenal. I couldn't imagine liking only one movie of this entire epic saga, or hating any of them either. I do get fed up with a lot of people online that also refuse to acknowledge the greatness in any of the others other than Empire.

NETFLIX! LOL!

Yup! Qui-Gon! Where the hell is he? Mace! Padme! And all those Queen Amidala outfits! FFS!

There will be an EX but not the bloody hand print. Ugh! Fail before they even preview the damn thing! Seriously, what else would there be? The shield and electro staff thingie?

There's just too much to love from all the movies. Sure can nit pick the crap out of any of them, and seriously, I can destroy Empire for the most die hard fan, but why? Why would I or anyone want to try and do that to someone who loves any of the movies? That's the problem with the PT bashers. It's one thing to not like them, but to constantly go in and make trash comments when people who enjoy the PT are discussing it, those are not SW fans.

LMAO on Scarlett. I would have taken her. Yeah, Xmas '77 I got a die cast X-wing, a remote control R2-D2, and some play set. Can't remember which one (I was 5 for heavens sake). LOL!

I saw on The Star Wars Show (on Youtube) where they are having a R1 panel at Celebration Europe, so I imagine a new trailer will be shown during that. BTW, watch that show, and LMK what you think about Pete's comment about this being their first show "EP1." Dude! I got fired up! I wanna punch that f'er in the face!



Disney is really trying to make SW their own. I'm tellin' ya, it could be Ezra. LMAO!

Wasn't sure I'd make it replying tonight/ morning. Spent the day in the mountains with MAUL, and I'm totally spent. I feel like I've been lifting weights all day. I burned more calories riding today than I do in almost a week working out. Crazy! Anyway, took some pics. Might end up making a video this weekend though since I got some decent footage. Not sure though.

MAUL conquers Mt. Rainier...

That looks like it was an AWESOME ride! You've got it so good getting to see the mountains out there every day.

I watched that SW show thing the other day and that comment about "everyone is going to love it by the fourth episode" made by blood boil. Way to go making sure they can piss of a lot of the SW fan community in their first comments! I seriously get a vibe that Disney hates the prequels, and has distaste for Prequel fans.

I know for me I can always say I'm going to stick to a certain plan or whatever, but if a piece or character comes out that either completely blows me away or I just have to have then regardless of what I said earlier, I could totally end up changing my mind once I see something. Like I have no idea whats in store for VIII and IX, there could be a new character that comes out that is the most badass thats ever been in SW. There is no way I could pass that up. If I have to take up every inch of available space to fit more bestas in this room then so be it LOL. I mean how can we possibly pass up on that dude in the wingtips???!!!

If they could pull of the shield and staff on the new Trooper, that would be pretty badass! I'm wondering if it will just be an option to switchout the hands to hold that little sidearm they carry. Or maybe the EX will be an optional shoulder pauldron that you could put on. I'm passing regardless.

I'd love to have the income that those people have! I keep forgetting about that Bespin Luke lol. I'm sure they will make quite a lot of the minor OT characters, even SS has, and I've seen quite a few people that are going to completely swap their SS 1:6 SW collection for HTs. This is still really early on for the SW HT license. I'm wondering how long until they hit the prequels. If they wait until after the end of the ST and spinoffs thats really going to suck, although I guess it really doesn't matter for me as I will just be enjoying them through people's pictures lol.

I don't think we're going to see anything Snoke related until after we know for sure who he is. I read that one of the executives from LFL completely debunked the rumor that he's Plagueis. But that could just be them trying to use some misdirection.

So Star Wars Celebration Europe is in less than a couple of months, I hope we get to see another Rogue One trailer.

I really don't know if or when HT will get to the PTs. I don't think they will delve that deep still (despite my hopes otherwise). They are bad about not finishing lines sometimes, look how long it took them to finally make Drax! I might have to dip into SS if I want certain characters. That Bossk and IG-88 they did are pretty badass. I also think their R5-D4 looks pretty cool.

I saw that SW Celebration is coming up, I also saw tickets for next year in Orlando go on sale in a few weeks. You guys want to go?

Thanks man. You're too kind.



Yeah, probably. Not sure from where though. A Mace Windu PF would be sweet, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm more excited to see what XM will do. That's if they ever do it! LOL!

I think they do, actually. I thought I read somewhere that she would have more action scenes.

I read that same comment on FB once. Seems like the go to phrase for haters, LOL!

Right on! LMK his name so I can look him up.

I know alot of collectors stick with a theme like dark side characters, OT characters, helmeted characters, etc. when it comes to collecting statues. For me, from now forward, it'll be a character that adds something to my collection. Not just something I "have to have" because in my mind I have to have'em all! I'm really limiting myself to just one or 2 a year from now on. That's if I even get any more PF's.



NETFLIX! LOL!

Yup! Qui-Gon! Where the hell is he? Mace! Padme! And all those Queen Amidala outfits! FFS!

There will be an EX but not the bloody hand print. Ugh! Fail before they even preview the damn thing! Seriously, what else would there be? The shield and electro staff thingie?

There's just too much to love from all the movies. Sure can nit pick the crap out of any of them, and seriously, I can destroy Empire for the most die hard fan, but why? Why would I or anyone want to try and do that to someone who loves any of the movies? That's the problem with the PT bashers. It's one thing to not like them, but to constantly go in and make trash comments when people who enjoy the PT are discussing it, those are not SW fans.





LMAO on Scarlett. I would have taken her. Yeah, Xmas '77 I got a die cast X-wing, a remote control R2-D2, and some play set. Can't remember which one (I was 5 for heavens sake). LOL!



I saw on The Star Wars Show (on Youtube) where they are having a R1 panel at Celebration Europe, so I imagine a new trailer will be shown during that. BTW, watch that show, and LMK what you think about Pete's comment about this being their first show "EP1." Dude! I got fired up! I wanna punch that f'er in the face!



Disney is really trying to make SW their own. I'm tellin' ya, it could be Ezra. LMAO!

Wasn't sure I'd make it replying tonight/ morning. Spent the day in the mountains with MAUL, and I'm totally spent. I feel like I've been lifting weights all day. I burned more calories riding today than I do in almost a week working out. Crazy! Anyway, took some pics. Might end up making a video this weekend though since I got some decent footage. Not sure though.

MAUL conquers Mt. Rainier...

Dude those are some beautiful pictures, I bet that was a great day. You should head over to Montana, there are some great views around here. Ever heard of the Going-to-the-Sun Road? Have you ever killed your arms at the gym then struggled to ride your bike home? I remember an article about Arnold when he was younger where he was saying he fell off his bicycle riding home because he just destroyed his arms.

That sounds like an awesome Christmas. I figured you were closer to being of age for the toys than Josh and I were when the movies came out. I only had some because my cousins were older and I got all of their old toys. Did you have any other old SW figures?

I'd really like to see what XM does too. They seem to struggle with human sculpts so it will be interesting. I remember that X-wing Luke they teased didn't really look much like Luke.

Here's the guy that manages my new gym: http://www.nationalgym.com/national-gym-pro-athletes-gallery-athletes/pro-bodybuilding/troberts.html

That looks like it was an AWESOME ride! You've got it so good getting to see the mountains out there every day.

Disney has made it pretty clear they are trying to distance themselves from the prequels. I don't think it would be the end of the world if Jar-Jar or Watoo or someone popped up in these newer movies. Granted I don't know the lifespan of either creature so they may be long gone. Really though, I could argue the prequels had more originality than The Force Awakens if I wanted to so it's not like they have done anything spectacular with the license so far either. I have faith in Rian Johnson doing great things with the next two movies, I'm just saying they shouldn't be so snooty. George Lucas created this universe including the prequels, have some respect. Although he should have never made Greedo shoot first, ha ha. I think we can all agree he shouldn't have tinkered with already beloved movies.

Yeah I have a feeling there will be plenty more characters you think you have to have, ha. Heck those black troopers in Rogue One look pretty badass already!

They really should have done the bloody hand print helmet. That was a missed opportunity. I'm sure the EX will be some swap out piece on the base like a mouse droid or something.

The Freaks board is down again, shocking.

I know I've been trying to get on there for hours now! LOL. Un****ing believable!

I heard there was a conflicting licensing issue with Dave Bautista, WWE, and HT which is why it took so long to get Drax out. Although I have to admit I did hear this from the forums where everyone that posts thinks they are a licensing expert .

I'd love to get an IG-88 PF! That would look so awesome next to my Boba PF.

That new black trooper from Rogue One looks really sweet too. I'm now running into another problem with my SW stuff though, a lot of my pieces are really dark or black. I need to bring some more color into the collection. The one thing I really loved about my DC PFs was the way the colors just burst right off of the pieces.

My sister has a timeshare down in Florida, I'm not sure when she has access to it though. I'm going to ask next time I talk to her.

I definitely think the Prequels had more originality than TFA did. I still love TFA but they were definitely were trying to appease the OT only crowd so much that they followed the basic plot of ANH for TFA. That doesn't bother me at all, but it does when it seems like they almost go out of their way to make sure they continue to distance themselves from PT fans by stuff they say. I can agree about the Greedo thing, but it doesn't nearly bother me as much as it does others. There are actually some changes that I liked, such as adding the Jabba scene back into ANH. I even love that they put Boba into that scene and basically had him break the 4th wall and stare into the camera LOL.

Wingtips = instant buy! LMAO!

As soon as he said it, all the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I've made my distaste for the comment known in the comments on Youtube, and will take to Twitter and FB as well. Others have spoken up about it too. "Star Wars" did make a post saying that it loves everything SW from EPI-EPIX or some crap like that. You can tell Andi is just waiting for Pete to get that line out and move on. Almost like she didn't want it in the episode, and it was all Pete's idea for the snarky comment. I already don't like that guy. Why the F couldn't they get Sam Witwer!

It's about an hour long ride just to get to the base of the mountains, and then it's all up up up, LOL! Kind of a grueling ride, but worth it for the footage and images I got.

I really don't know if or when HT will get to the PTs. I don't think they will delve that deep still (despite my hopes otherwise).

Most tinkering I'm fine with, and some I'm not (Greedo, too much going on in Mos Eisley). Hell, I don't mind the song bit in ROTJ even though I do like Lapti Nek better. In the end, it's his movies to mess with, and I can choose to watch or not. Bitching about it won't change it. If I ever got to that point, I'd move on to something else. Plenty of good stuff out there to get behind.

I keep seeing that comment about Disney distancing themselves from the PT. That would mean that they think the movie they make will not only be better but everyone will love (which obviously didn't happen with TFA). I don't see it that way. I see them more focused on OT characters (Luke, Han, Leia) simply because they are in the new movie(s) and Disney is really trying to make SW their own. Kinda in the same way that every takes the first line in TFA to be a shot at the PT. Again, this would be Abrams assuming he'd make a better movie. Is he really that full of himself to take a shot at Lucas and think his Star Wars movie would be any better? I don't think so. Again, it's just people wanting to stir stuff up. Like the whole midi-chlorians not being in TFA, and the net blew up that JJ was a PT hater. Well, there were no Ewoks either, no Jawas, no "space slug," etc. Again, people being big fat wooden spoons in a pot of crap. For all we know, the fist line in TFA could be a shot at Rebels. Just saying. I do think, however, that there are people at LF/ Disney who don't like the PT, and those who just love all that is SW, and Pete from that show, IMO, was a person who wanted to get his jab in. Little does he know that there are millions of PT fans, and I seriously hope they yank his ass from the show. Get Sam Witwer! LOL!

Yeah, I can see why they would say that about his legs. WOW! How long you have to be off roids though to be considered natural now? Is it still a year?

I hope those human sculpt pics of Luke were just artist interpretations and not what we are actually getting. That would be a huge deal and turn alot of collectors off. Although, there are many who still love what Attakus did, so, who knows, LOL!

I had a few, but can't remember which ones. Too long ago. I was lucky to get what I did though. We were very poor.

Thanks man, I was hoping you guys would like'em. It was a tough ride just to get what I did. I have about 15 more pics from that day, but saving them for the video. Makes it worth it knowing you guys like'em. Not many realize the effort it takes to go out and do something like that. Yesterday, was a lesson for me for sure! I'd love to head to Montana. I hope one day, my ass can take being on the bike for multiple hours at a time, LOL! Haven't heard of that road. Alot of bikes and sport cars take it?

Yeah, I've had my arms cramp up big time riding my bike home from the gym. Same with legs after leg day. One day, I did legs, came home to take a quick shower, and went on an hour ride. When I finally stopped, my legs cramped so bad I couldn't stand. Again, lesson learned, LOL!

I wonder if Mike is going since that is almost in his back yard.

Yeah I keep struggling with what color display case works best for Star Wars. It seems a lot of the characters are either solid white or solid black! Then all the Jedis are in brown robes...so basically no matter what you choose one set of characters will look washed out by the background, ha. Comic book colors definitely pop more, but they are cartoons after all.

See I don't mind that Jabba scene in ANH, but when Han steps on his tail it looks so unnatural. I really don't like the Greedo thing, even the actor who played him recently said he didn't like he change because it makes Greedo look like the worst bounty hunter in the galaxy. I mean he missed from two feet away! I've always kind of wanted a background on Greedo. They should make a comic book for him.

The shoulder pauldron would be a good EX too. I'm sure I'll get it.

Are you talking about Sam Witwer, the actor who was on Smallville? Does he usually do SW related stuff?

I don't disagree that they're his movies to mess with, but I do wish they'd give us the option to own the originals before he made changes. And I don't know about J.J., he did say he wanted to have Jar-Jar's skeleton in the desert and in this article it kinda seems like he's taking a shot at Lucas' creations that weren't well received.: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment...-binks-cut-from-new-film-20151207-glhcva.html.

I have no idea what the steroid rule is, but I don't think that guy has ever taken them. He's just got freakishly strong legs and devotes his life to lifting/eating healthy. I've seen guys at my gym who take steroids, it's obvious when their lifts go up leaps and bounds in a short time.

You have to be careful on leg day! If you sit at all for long period of time afterwards it hurts to stand up! That same thing happened to me this week, I drove across town and when I got out my leg cramped bad. Still wasn't as bad as the time I went to the movies afterwards and I had to brace myself against the wall when I tried to stand up after!

The Sun road is crazy, I've seen tons of different kinds of vehicles on it. Actually people ride their bicycles up it quite often (which is insanity). There's a visitor center at the top and plenty of pull off areas. Here's some pictures:

Thanks man, I was hoping you guys would like'em. It was a tough ride just to get what I did. I have about 15 more pics from that day, but saving them for the video. Makes it worth it knowing you guys like'em. Not many realize the effort it takes to go out and do something like that. Yesterday, was a lesson for me for sure! I'd love to head to Montana. I hope one day, my ass can take being on the bike for multiple hours at a time, LOL! Haven't heard of that road. Alot of bikes and sport cars take it?

Yeah, I've had my arms cramp up big time riding my bike home from the gym. Same with legs after leg day. One day, I did legs, came home to take a quick shower, and went on an hour ride. When I finally stopped, my legs cramped so bad I couldn't stand. Again, lesson learned, LOL!

I wonder if Mike is going since that is almost in his back yard.

Can't wait to see your vid buddy!

They should totally get Sam Witwer! That would be beyond perfect! Sometimes I listen to SW podcasts and they sometimes have him as a guest. He's hilarious and does awesome impressions!

I like Lapti Neck better too, like a lot better lol. But there has never been anything he added where I thought was terrible or ruined the movie for me. Its his movies to do with what he wants, I'll probably love them no matter what.

I guess I'm one of those that is stirring the pot. The first line from TFA just felt like an obvious slam against the Prequels to me. It just felt like they were putting all of this effort into the behind the scenes marketing campaign from TFA to make sure they were really reaching out to the people that didn't like the Prequels, and they'd take little shots at the prequels and prequel characters on talk shows etc, and then they chose to open the movie with that. I would hear them say how great Lucas was and I loved that, but it just felt to me like some don't want to embrace the saga as a whole. I also know that George isn't very happy how the relationship with Disney turned out. But whatever, I liked the way that TFA turned out overall so it really doesn't matter as long as I like the final product. I do think there will be some divide between the studio and some of the fan base pretty much no matter what they do, I just wish they were more embracing of those that love the complete saga.

Yeah I keep struggling with what color display case works best for Star Wars. It seems a lot of the characters are either solid white or solid black! Then all the Jedis are in brown robes...so basically no matter what you choose one set of characters will look washed out by the background, ha. Comic book colors definitely pop more, but they are cartoons after all.

See I don't mind that Jabba scene in ANH, but when Han steps on his tail it looks so unnatural. I really don't like the Greedo thing, even the actor who played him recently said he didn't like he change because it makes Greedo look like the worst bounty hunter in the galaxy. I mean he missed from two feet away! I've always kind of wanted a background on Greedo. They should make a comic book for him.

Are you talking about Sam Witwer, the actor who was on Smallville? Does he usually do SW related stuff?

I don't disagree that they're his movies to mess with, but I do wish they'd give us the option to own the originals before he made changes. And I don't know about J.J., he did say he wanted to have Jar-Jar's skeleton in the desert and in this article it kinda seems like he's taking a shot at Lucas' creations that weren't well received.: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment...-binks-cut-from-new-film-20151207-glhcva.html.

I have no idea what the steroid rule is, but I don't think that guy has ever taken them. He's just got freakishly strong legs and devotes his life to lifting/eating healthy. I've seen guys at my gym who take steroids, it's obvious when their lifts go up leaps and bounds in a short time.

You have to be careful on leg day! If you sit at all for long period of time afterwards it hurts to stand up! That same thing happened to me this week, I drove across town and when I got out my leg cramped bad. Still wasn't as bad as the time I went to the movies afterwards and I had to brace myself against the wall when I tried to stand up after!

The Sun road is crazy, I've seen tons of different kinds of vehicles on it. Actually people ride their bicycles up it quite often (which is insanity). There's a visitor center at the top and plenty of pull off areas. Here's some pictures:

Yeah, there really is nothing that can be done Besta-wise to really make all of those brown colors super exciting lol. I love them because of how accurate they are to the movies, but brown is definitely one of my least favorite colors.

Ha! I never looked at it that way. He totally would be the worst bounty hunter ever.

Yup, he was in Smallville. Wait, isn't that a Superman show without Superman? He also plays Darth Maul in the Clone Wars and Rebels, also he played Starkiller in The Force Unleashed.

I don't know what to make of JJ. I like the guy and I like his movies, for the most part *cough* lens flares *cough*. I have heard him take little shots at the prequels though. I know many don't think he's serious or maybe he's just playing to the crowd, but as an entire Saga fanboy I guess I get pretty defensive. I would have been pretty straight faced when those people were cheering for the lack of Ewoks and Jar Jar. I don't need to see them in a SW movie or anything, but the cheering for them not being there would make my blood boil.

You guys keep talking about how much pain comes from working out. Its looking less and less likely that I'll be exercising enough to get up and go and get that playstation controller thats still across the room.

God, you guys have got such great scenery out there! I do have the lake here which looks great out in the summer, but there is the occasional dead body that goes floating by LOL.

A dead body? I feel like there's a story here.

Oh wow, I didn't realize Witwer did all that voice work. Hey, Smallville has Superman, he just doesn't ever put on the suit or learn to fly until the very end!

Yeah maybe we should stop talking about all this PT-Disney stuff before we get too worked up, ha. I will say I've always loved the Ewoks and felt like they were a huge part of the rebel victory. I mean Palpatine foresaw every move the rebellion made, but he was unable to see a tribal Endor species teaming up with the rebels. And like it or not, Jar-Jar is a huge part of the prequels, you have to wonder if things would have worked out different if Qui-Gon doesn't save him in the opening of TPM. Are you guys at all curious as to what George Lucas' plans were for episodes VII-IX that Disney discarded?

The pain from working out is usually a good pain though! Just got to be careful not to cramp up after leg day!

Don't get too jealous of me, that scenery is all the way on the other side of my state...which is about a 7 hour drive from where I am.

Dear Lord that's beautiful! Yeah, I want to take MAUL on that! Amazing man.

LOL! I can handle sitting for long periods after my leg workouts. On a bike though your legs balance, hold you to the tank/ bike, and of course hold you up at a stop. Muscles are constantly being used. I just didn't know it would be that much! Lesson learned, and thankfully my legs were ok after a few minutes otherwise, I don't know how I would have got the bike home!

I hear ya, you can definitely tell when some one is on a cycle, but there are different kinds of cycles, and everyone blows up like a balloon. I don't know the guy, I had noticed what looked like an injection lump typical of steroid use. They are more common on the Vastus Lateralis but on him I see it on the Rectus Femoris so I assumed. For the record, I have nothing against steroid use, it just cracks me up that so many hide it to be considered "natural" when it is obvious. The bottom line, his legs are fantastic! If I had those I'd rule the world! LOL!

Lucas did give people a chance to own the originals before made changes. There was actually a big campaign about it in '95 IIRC. Actually, found the video:



That was why I went out and bought a bunch of the THX Laserdiscs and VHS copies. Little did I know they would port over the LD's onto DVD's, LOL! You have those? I always took it as JJ just having a little fun. It would be pretty f'n arrogant of him to think he could make a better SW movie than the man who created it all. The article you linked is a perfect example of what I was referring to about people wanting to stir stuff up. No doubt all that is taken out of context. Kinda like the midi-chlorian thing. Again, I'd like to think JJ isn't that arrogant, and he is just the kinda guy wanted to please SW fans rather than make the movie his own.

Yeah, Sam Witwer is Starkiller/ Galen Marek/ Starkiller's Clone from The Force Unleashed games. He also voices Darth Maul in TCW, Rebels, Disney Infinity, plus he voiced other minor characters in TCW like The Son and Mandalorians, and he voiced Palpatine in The Force Unleashed, Battlefront, Disney Infinity, and Rebels. The guys a huge SW nerd! He knows about timelines and all kinds of stuff off the top of his head. I mean, it's pretty amazing. There was an interview with Filoni and crew regarding TCW a while back, and Witwer was in the crowd. Someone had mentioned something about a character, and Filoni agreed, but Witwer stepped in and said how that wouldn't work because yadda yadda yadda, and Filoni was like, "Oh! Oh yeah!" LOL! (Oops, Josh covered it already )

Greedo is kinda the worst Bounty Hunter. There's an episode in TCW where he tries to kidnap a Baron Papanoida's daughters and screws it all up. Even before the SE, I had always had that feeling about Greedo, that he's just not cut out to be a Bounty Hunter.
I don't care much for the Jabba scene, but seeing Boba is pretty cool. Yeah, Han stepping on the tail is weird. I try not to dwell on it though, LMAO!

I feel your struggle man. I saw online somewhere someone with a light grey cabinet that looked good. Neutral.

Can't wait to see your vid buddy!

LMFAO! Can I jump the dead body with my bike? HAHAHA!

LOL! You can exercise and not be in pain like Adam and I.

I hear ya man. It makes my blood boil too. And, you're definitely not one of the **** stirrers I mean. You were offended by the line, not one of those A'holes who takes the line and posts online how happy they are that the PT gets bashed in TFA. Totally different. I don't have any problem with someone who doesn't like a SW movie, the PT, the OT, or the saga altogether. I do have a problem with those who consistently bash them. Kinda like when I was a little nerd in school and the jocks would bash the movies and me. I see both as bullying, and if there is one thing I can't f'n stand is a bully.

A dead body? I feel like there's a story here.

As for Disney, if they think Ezra is a better character than Jar Jar, they are morons!

Well its just a huge lake that connects 4 different states and if someone goes missing sometimes their body turns up in the lake. I know it sounds scary but the good news is most of the time its just someone goes out there and has too much to drink and falls in. Other times though bodies do get dumped in there, especially from some of the high crime rate cities here in the midwest .

Yeah thats true. I hope Gotham will be similar, hopefully it stays on long enough for Bruce to become Batman. It would probably need another 10 seasons though lol.

I'd love to see them put his original vision for the ST into a comic book like they did a couple of years ago for the original Star Wars. If there is demand for it then it could happen.

Dear Lord that's beautiful! Yeah, I want to take MAUL on that! Amazing man.

I love that video! It was on my SW VHS tapes and I at the time I was wondering what it meant by One Last Time. There was no internet back then, or if there was I didn't have it, so I had no way of connecting to massive SW fans to figure out what was going on. And I didn't read SW magazine either, so I had no clue about the Special Edition until advertising started for it.

I could be making more out of the line then is meant by it, but I'm just so used to people ****ing on the prequels, I just assume the worst, and I get overly irritated when someone from the TFA crew takes a jab at them. I've just seen it online so much that I can't take it anymore. They may just be movies, but its the animosity towards people that like them that I can't stand. They really are like bullies, even that Igo ******* from Sideshow.

We are all Team Ewok, Yeah!!!

I guess I didn't think about how much stabilization is required to ride on your bike for long periods. That's probably why all those old guys ride around on cruisers instead, ha ha.

That guy may have taken steroids, I guess I don't know enough about them or how to spot people who have other than seeing them balloon up at the gym. People have asked me if I've taken steroids and I honestly don't even know how people get them! I did take a supply of 1-AD (andro) back in the early 2000s when it was still legal to sell over the counter. My lifts went up a ton in a month and I took the lowest dose, I wish I could get my hands on that again. Have you ever tried supplements outside of the usual protein/creatine stuff?

Man I remember those VHS tapes, I spent pretty much my entire summer watching those after they came out. The space battle over Endor started skipping because I kept rewinding it and watching it so much. I don't have them anymore, they got lost in one of my many moves. Plus I don't own a VCR anymore. Did they release them on DVD a while back? I forget.

I still don't know who this Ezra fellow is, I'm assuming he's the lead on Rebels...is he annoying?

Well its just a huge lake that connects 4 different states and if someone goes missing sometimes their body turns up in the lake. I know it sounds scary but the good news is most of the time its just someone goes out there and has too much to drink and falls in. Other times though bodies do get dumped in there, especially from some of the high crime rate cities here in the midwest .

Yeah thats true. I hope Gotham will be similar, hopefully it stays on long enough for Bruce to become Batman. It would probably need another 10 seasons though lol.

I'd love to see them put his original vision for the ST into a comic book like they did a couple of years ago for the original Star Wars. If there is demand for it then it could happen.



I love that video! It was on my SW VHS tapes and I at the time I was wondering what it meant by One Last Time. There was no internet back then, or if there was I didn't have it, so I had no way of connecting to massive SW fans to figure out what was going on. And I didn't read SW magazine either, so I had no clue about the Special Edition until advertising started for it.

I could be making more out of the line then is meant by it, but I'm just so used to people ****ing on the prequels, I just assume the worst, and I get overly irritated when someone from the TFA crew takes a jab at them. I've just seen it online so much that I can't take it anymore. They may just be movies, but its the animosity towards people that like them that I can't stand. They really are like bullies, even that Igo ******* from Sideshow.

We are all Team Ewok, Yeah!!!

Go Team Ewok! I used to always watch those Ewok movies when I was younger too! I slightly remember when there was an Ewok cartoon on the Saturday morning cartoons back when I had to have been 4 or 5 years old.

How close are you to this lake? We had someone drown here in a pond at the cemetery after a night of drinking, what a weird way to die.

Yeah man. I love that scene in ROTJ when the Ewoks sound their horns and pop up as the music kicks in.

I get it, and I'm totally with you man. I will call anyone out when it comes to bashing the PT. I do it on FB and Twitter all the time, and usually they back off and admit that they like the PT. Then there are the faceless ones. You know, it's almost like a dummy account that someone creates just so they can go into any forum, Twitter, FB, etc and talk all the trash they want.

There was internet, but I didn't have it in '95. I remember the commercials for it though, and how excited I was to get a hold of them remastered in THX.

I would too. I would love to know what Lucas is doing behind the scenes when it comes to SW. You know he's doing something.

I guess I didn't think about how much stabilization is required to ride on your bike for long periods. That's probably why all those old guys ride around on cruisers instead, ha ha.

Ezra? Yeah, annoying is one way to put it. I'm not going to completely trash the character, but in the first Rebels episode/ movie, he was referred to as a "street rat." A STREET RAT!!!!! Not to mention how much he looks like Aladdin.

Yeah, they LF released those same versions on DVD for fans who had missed out on the VHS and LD's. They are non-anamorphic versions FWIW. The LD's with their PCM tracks sound far better though. If you're looking for the U-OT, definitely get the DVD's because I really don't think they will be released on BD, and if they ever are it will probably still be the LD' ports exactly the same way they did on DVD.

I would say it is a safe bet that he has, and that is not taking anything away from how hard you still have to train in order to get a body like that. It takes work regardless. Yeah, I took the Androstenedione and Androstendiol stack on top of creatine back then too. Is the Andro stuff illegal now? I stopped taking them because I had planned on doing my first cycle. The day I was going to pay for it ($500) I was rear ended by a van that ruptured 2 of my discs L4/L5. I ended up not getting the cycle because I could work out due to my back, and eventually just completely forgot about the Andro stuff. When I was able to get back into the gym, it was just to be in shape and nothing more. Now, I feel that the vitamins and more natural stuff are far better than the Andro stuff was way back in the day. Like the pre-workout stuff, damn! When I take that, it's like being a godddamn dragon breathing fire playing an electric guitar on top of a battleship shooting all it's weapons in space going lightspeed! Awesome, it's just awesome! LOL! What are you taking besides protein/ creating?

Yeah, it not only requires upper and lower body strength, but different muscle fibers are constantly being used depending on what you are doing. There was a simulation online that showed how muscles are used by sportbike riders when they hit the twisties, and it is amazing how much work it takes. After a day of riding, I'm frikkin' sore! And, that's coming from someone who lifts!
