A.R.S.E.

It's quite probably bullshit but there's some rumours around that they are intending to basically wipe out the new trilogy, it all happens in some mirror universe that Palpatine transports to prior to dying in the Death Star. Personally I've long felt they need to do something like this, remove these movies from cannon and start again.

The biggest sci-fi script writing cop-out, alternative Universes!!!
If they do this I'm out & won't watch anymore releases...

I just got a free 6 month subscription to Disney+ from my mobile provider. Is Mandelorian worth watching?

I am not a huge fan of the movies, but I enjoyed it Kev.

Yes Kev it is worth the watch.

Added to my watchlist. I'll give it a shot.

Also going to do a full 11 movie Star Wars marathon

The Mandelorian is great. It's gritty compared to the movies and gives hope that there is so much they can do with the stories.

First episode was promising. Some nice little references to the series with characters and robots in the back of shots. I'll try and get the rest watched soon.

mmm second episode was a bit disappointing. He killed some jawa's, killed a rhino and found a furry egg..... and.... er.... that was it!

Keep going Kev, yes the 2nd episode was the worst wrt to the story-line.

Episode4 is The Magnificent 7.... in space.
Poor villages being tormented by rebels who steal their food. He goes to a bar, finds a person to fight with him, they teach them how to fight for themselves and win.
Carbon copy!!!

This seemed the most appropriate place to post this.

Possible small spoiler...

And it looks like they had power convertors in stock!!!

LOL that's awesome.

Er, can someone explain that one for me?

OK I have a question about the Millennium Falcon layout (just watching TFA!).

To get to the gunning placements you have to climb down a ladder. From the gun seat, there is a glass dome in front of you, but that is on the very top or bottom of the MF. So when you get off the ladder you would be standing on that dome for the bottom placement. How you then get yourself in to the seat which clearly has the ladder tunnel going away from you in the background?

Been a while since I was a bone fide star wars nerd but from what I remember, in the EU stuff of old it was explained that the artificial gravity switched in the guns turrets - you'd climb from above and then angle the seat however and gravity would stay seat normal as such.

Thanks Woodsy.

Ah fudged physics... ok

I find it hilarious that some people think George Lucas put this much thought into the films

That's excellent.

This is likely the most anticipated Stars Wars stories / series ever. Wonder if it will live up to the hype?
