Also keep in mind, Force Ghosts have only been in universe for about 50 years...Qui-Gon Jinn is the one who figured out how to do it. Meanwhile, Yoda was also presented as the strongest Force user ever (before Anakin), so it stands to reason if a “lesser” Jedi figured out how to become a ghost, a stronger Jedi could…

I too am worried about that, but above all else, Disney is a company. Hopefully they see the fact that Deadpool was the highest grossing R-rated movie ever as a reason to stick with what works.

Are you referring to Universal Studios? I think they likely have an exclusivity contract similar to the Marvel area of Islands of Adventure. I don’t know how long those contracts are in place, but it would be in Disney’s best interest to keep those deals, because they get to double-dip and make money off theme parks…

People got along just fine for quite a large number of years without answering machines. You don’t NEED to always be available. Just have people call back if you don’t answer.

It’s been a while since I read that issue, but if I recall correctly he was actually listing off all the things he’s never done and will never be able to do...go to college, backpack around and yes, have sex with his girlfriend. I don’t remember it being crass, just an honest assessment of his situation. As for…

So far, Discovery feels like a totally different show with Star Trek terminology tacked on, like a movie script that’s been sitting around for ages that someone decides to produce using an unrelated trademark name in order to keep a licensing deal...or meet an anniversary deadline. It has none of the hallmarks of Trek…

At least there was a semi-reasonable reason for him to know Han, being that they were both in Jabba’s employ. I hate to say it, but the background story of a skull seen on screen for 4 seconds sounds better thought out than most EU stories.

Luna Park doesn’t want the Disney competition.

LEGO Saturn V, NES Classic and Pepsi Perfect...rinse and repeat. Combine limited quantities of a product with an obsessive fan base and you get a social media clusterfuck.

So you basically want Robot Jox?

I loved that game, still have it somewhere! I wonder if I could get it running in VirtualBox.

I believe the “names” were supposed to be designations, like OB-1, OB-2, etc. And in fact, they sort of did that with the Clone Wars cartoon. All of the clones has numeric designations, but often took on nicknames. TK5555 was called Fives for example, but most adopted “normal” names like Cody and Rex.

I’ve always maintained that Funko Pops are the Beanie Babies of this generation.

Not to mention places where video is blocked.

So the Klingons are descended from the Goa’uld from Stargate?

I noted it elsewhere but I think the 80's comedy aesthetic is now the default for all Marvel Cosmic movies. Makes me curious what direction they’ll go with Captain Marvel.

Whether this was intentional on Marvel’s part or purely Waititi’s doing, I don’t know, but it seems like they have firmly established an 80's theme with higher comedy content for the Cosmic side of the MCU...and I’m totally OK with that.

I was about to castigate you for impugning the illustrious Stephen R. Donaldson when I realized I was confusing him with Peter F. Hamilton and rescinded my accusations. These guys do love their initials, don’t they?

Every so often they run a deal where they only cost $0.99, but they still honor the $4.99 credit for first use, so it essentially becomes a $4 coupon. Once you use them once and get the credit, you can hack them into something if not more useful, then at least more fun. http://www.dashbuttondudes.com/blog/2015/12/11/…

OK, so I haven’t seen it and am not likely to in the theater, but from the trailers I remember some kind of robot bartender. Sure, it was on a track of some sort, but the “human” portion seemed fully functional. Couldn’t they have a team of humanoid robots available to “re-hibernate” someone if there is a…
