Based on how old some cultures are they clearly build to last in that universe. Its funny. I have no problem hand waving away space wizards. But my brain just can’t get around spaceships regularly re-entering atmospheres, handling varied gravities, (and other stresses) and still holding up for centuries even after all…

Despite a lot of fans disliking the Moffat era, I actually think that it had way more hits than misses. There are stretches that I didn’t like — most of the 6th series (where Eleven loses Amy and Rory and then finds Clara) and quite a bit of Twelve’s first season (god, “Kill the Moon” was...blurgh). But Moffat’s first…

One of the massive strengths of the recent Planet of the Apes movies is that they mostly leave the “this is how we got to the Planet of the Apes” stuff to one side to focus on characters and ideological conflicts. The explanations are there if you want them but they’re more interested in Caesar’s journey. I really…

Yeah well, what are your thoughts on sand?

I’ve always wanted to know how Han met Chewie, just as much as I wanted to know who built C-3PO.

Take ownership over a series and attempt to say something new(-ish) with it, or try and adapt a confounding snarl of content that was never seen as anything other than ancillary filler by anyone other than the never-satisfied obsessives. Yeah, it’s not really a difficult decision to make.

Officially, they were considered canon. There were layers of Star Wars canon, though. It was a whole thing.

There were a couple good things about the EU like how the Clone Wars were explained and Thrawn.

Plus they can cherry-pick the good stuff to use in the movies, if they want.

The EU had a lot of big name authors who ended up turning in work well below their typical output.

A moon dropping on Chewi may have provided a definitive reason to drop the EU, but realistically, there was no good reason to retain it for the new movies. For the majority of fans who didn’t read the side stuff, you’re saddled with trying to explain a mountain of utterly batshit exposition, and for the fans who do…

Which is odd, since the original reason stated after Vector Prime released, was they went to Lucas and asked which one they could kill off. Chewie was the only one he allowed.

funny enough. if you read the article you would know that.

It’s the exact reason actually, in fact its in the article so you don’t need to assume:

I can only assume that the main reason they killed off Chewbacca in the books was because it was impossible to write dialogue for him. You can only type “Chewie growled in assent” so many times before you have a Shining moment.

Medusa’s Wig: Is there any truth to the rumors you are currently dating Oliver Queen’s Flashback Wig from ‘Arrow’?

The wig from Bride with White Hair was trained by the Jackie Chan Stunt Team and has over three decades of experience in visual effects and stunt work but was passed over for this role due to ageism.

I want a young Medusa series.... before her hair became so flat and lifeless. [wink]

Whatever. They should have hired Ollie’s Wig from the Arrow flashbacks. That wig works day-in, day-out, on location, with the most ridiculous props actors, and never breaks. He could handle all of these stunts without any of the fancy CGI this hoity toity theater wig needs.

I think Medusa’s Wig should do the show recaps, just as The Dome recapped Under The Dome.
