Re: Star Wars: The High Republic (200 years before the Prequ
Originally there was speculation that this High Republic era was going to be set 400 years before the prequels, so fans were speculating a young or middle-aged knight Yoda might be in play. Unlikely - by the time he died Yoda had been a Master for the best part of 800 years, so you'd have to go a l...

Re: Birth of the Republic
There's also the issue that "a thousand years" is a fairly imprecise time period. The statement that "no foreign power has successfully invaded the British Isles for a thousand years" is (if you ignore the Dutch) roughly accurate, even though the precise figure is a bit over 953 ...

Re: The Breaking and Betrayal of Gul Dukat's Character
His behaviour as Prefect of Bajor says otherwise - don't forget that he was Gul Darhe'el's boss, and did absolutely nothing to even rein him in.McAvoy wrote:I also wouldn't say Dukat is evil either until starts messing around with the Pah Wraiths.

Re: James Bond 007 "No Time To Die" Intl. Trailer (Spoilers)
It's certainly an interesting theory - one I've heard before, with the exception of Lazenby and Moore being the same individual. The latter adjustment would certainly explain Moore's Bond reacting the most aggressively when her death is mentioned. The key issues as I see them are a) Leiter's referen...

Re: James Bond 007 "No Time To Die" Intl. Trailer (Spoilers)
Previous Bonds have generally been very standalone movies. Not completely so - you get M and Q and Moneypenny and Blofeld and such, but for the most part any given Bond movie is separate from any other. There have been a few direct references beyond the main central characters - You Only Live Twice...

Re: Carrie Fisher "was going to be the last Jedi"
I'm not sure if I just don't remember, but do we even know who "The Last Jedi" is supposed to be? I mean, shouldn't we know that after the film that has that as the title? But you could argue that it's Luke, or maybe Rey given that they seem not to want to bother with the whole training t...

Re: Funny pics
Well his fanbase literally thinks 'Trump was chosen by God'. Which is ironic considering, that is literally what European kings and queens said to justify their reign. Particularly ironic given that one of those kings ruled the country the USA rebelled against. :lol: * 20 January 2025 * Ladies and ...

Re: Why We Can't Have Grey Jedi
Leia was implied to be an Action!Princess, though we dont get much view of anything really. Other than leaving Han and Luke in charge of rescuing her for all of about ten seconds, and having to be dragged out of the Hoth command centre about ten seconds ahead of the Stormtroopers' arrival after bar...
