Not to mention they had no reason to concretely believe this wasn’t a trap.

I mean, look at RotJ... the Empire purposely leaked information about weakness of a Death Star in order to lure the rebellion into a false sense of security for an attack, only for them to find that the Death Star was completely operational and…

fanboys everywhere are rooting for him (at least, that’s what happened in the theater I saw it in).

Frankly, the move away from Jedi/Republic = good, Sith/Empire = Bad, is the best thing that came out of Rogue One. Seeing the Rebels be selfish dicks, and seeing heroes working to topple the Empire from within is what made the movie, really.

Why did the Rebellion feel the need to kill Galen Erso? Oh I dunno, maybe because he was willing and able to create a superweapon for people who were willing and able to use it? Who knows what they might have made him design next? They had no way of knowing he was working for them reluctantly and even if they did- the…

The best war films are often statements on propaganda. The most successful propaganda not only relates directly to your life, but gives you enough faith in the cause to die for it. It’s interesting that the actual leaders of the Rebellion were so hesitant to steal the plans...yet, their propaganda worked so well that…

I’m sure there’s a cut scene of Vader teabagging all the dead Rebels on the Tantive IV.

Actually, I still don’t think the storm troopers hit anyone. All the heroes either got grenaded or nuked. Except for Alan’s character. He got shot through the chest which is the only way to kill an Alan Tudyk character. Leaf on the wind, he is.

no getting lazed by Vader

When do we receive a weapon that can surpass Metal Gear though? Seriously though, I’ll be buried a happy man if a mech is my pallbearer.

And if they did that, Lionhead would have had to deal with the hugely drawn out legal precedings, the bad press of “big company pressing charges on a kid” and top it all off, the kid would have a criminal record that would go with him for the rest of his life.

This way, they simply and quietly scared the kid…

You laugh, but I think it’d be pretty awesome to see some MiG-29 airframes outfitted with US avionics.

On the bright side: This means Putin isn’t getting daily briefings, either.

So what really happened is that someone in the casting agency put out the notice, someone else altered it further and put it on social media, the casting person was fired and that’s about it?

If Kotaku stopped writing about any gaming personality/company that lied and manipulated people for their own benefit, they wouldn’t have anyone to write about.

“and almost woke up crying”

I guess if you aren’t a Spider-Man fan, it’s hard to see but it is pretty obvious to me. This Spidey is far more accurate in the light hearted, quippy attitude. He’s always the kid cracking jokes and screwing with people. We never got that really in any of the prior movies. We can also be fairly certain no one is…

This is all so true. You know what else is terrible? Kids and their hippity hop “music.” I wish they'd just stay off my lawn.

Usually when I’m in a bookstore, most of the people are looking at the books, not a tablet or phone. This seems like a solution without a problem.

Do you smell that?... yeah it’s the smell of marketing strategy, nothing more.

Where’s my Earthbound 64?
