What console warriors don’t understand, is that companies are not their friends, and couldn’t care less about them, except their money. So as a business, this is the right move. Console warriors were pretty sure that the move to buy Activision/Blizzard was to asure them a good stream of games, and not to secure assets…

Yeah. Someone deep in Microsoft is doing the same math that Sega did when it finally let the Dreamcast give up its ghost, and the company transitioned to a full third party developer. 

Will these updates be enough to turn fan sentiment around? Well, in a world where Cyberpunk 2077 literally won an award for getting its act together, it’s not entirely implausible.

Sorry it took so long to reply... don’t really know where the time has gone but I have been pretty busy on the computer of late. Regardless...!

This is all fair enough. I guess I just want to immerse myself in this incredible universe/world (same as any other that I’m interested in) and appreciate it for what it is as fiction.

Never saw Star Crash. I see it pop up occasionally in my recommendations.

This is a work of forum art :)

First off: yes this sounds like a fantastic trilogy of movies.

I hadn’t considered the novelty of it for the younger generation. I don’t know anyone of the right age to talk to about that kind of thing, but it would be fascinating to hear their thoughts about analogue media. Whether there’s a kind of retro-cool to it or not. Although to be honest it’s hard to imagine many people…

Also, even going back to Last Crusade, the guy clearly didn’t care about grading papers or keeping his office hours. He gets back from one expedition and then he’s off to find the Holy Grail?! Once he got old and his looks faded, his classes clearly became less popular. Not surprising if he lost that job.

I did wonder about how easy it would’ve been to get out of the country as as a murder suspect in 1969. New York is a busy place, though, and so is JFK, and it’s not like anyone really knew what he looked liked. I guess if it was just a regular ol’ murder case it might’ve been relatively easy to get out the same day,…

This basically sounds like what happened in legends canon, which pretty quickly devolved into Imperial Warlord of the Week.

I bet some of the cut scenes probably dealt with that gap. 

One of the great things about the Will Smith Oscar-Slap was that it killed the sequel to bright.

After his DC movies, I gave up on Snyder’s work. Especially with how annoying his fanboys are. They’re a lot like Elon’s fanboys.

That’s because you’re describing Joseph Campbell’s “hero’s journey,” one of those influences that is core to the George Lucas brand. Master and Apprentice on a quest. Apprentice loses Master at a critical moment and is forced to finish the quest themselves.

Lucasfilm’s problem is that they fail to consistently grasp…

Let’s hope Qanon doesn’t find out about this -- we’ll end up with conspiracy theories about how the Jedi Order are a bunch of groomers ... hey, wait a minute!

The other thing they’re obsessed with? Taking a youngling of some sort somewhere else. The Mandalorian is obvious. But after the Mandalorian, Obi-Wan felt repetitive. But you can see elements of that same story in The Phantom Menace and A New Hope.

I’ve read the books, they were good. An adapter’s job is to tease out what in an original work can translate, ditch what won’t and assemble a final product that works in a different medium.
