The “discrepancy” between the show finale and the books is that the show’s finale will be released.

Honestly, I think the odds are even slimmer that he’ll really buckle down and finish the series after his death

He’s actually admitted that certain show performances, like Natalie Tena’s turn as Osha, have inspired him to write more for certain characters than he might have otherwise.

Ditto. They are, by this point, they are totally different animals, which is totally ok, as the show can’t get into everything the books do. Different mediums have different strengths.

Cue 175 “Har har, you think he has pages?!?!” comments from people who have no problem repeating the same dumb comment on every single article about GRRM.

In any other business/industry he would have been fired for attacking/insulting paying customers, It’s really that simple.  

I think Tarkin would have been more effective if he had always been shot from from behind, reflections in windows, etc. His most convincing scenes were the ones where we didn’t see him straight on, I think.

I don’t think Leia looked too bad, Tarkin on the other hand just looked off most of the time.

KIDNEY BEANS ARE THE SUPERIOR LEGUME, FIGHT ME

He changed his story on the genital part of the incident, and toxicologists indicate he was lying about the drugging. Takei denied even meeting him. At this point, I would not assume that a come-on even occured.

What gets me is I agree, you can and SHOULD create a new story that is not intrinsically linked to the old one! Star Wars should be about way more than the Skywalkers and their friends.

Remember when the Internet was evolving in the 90s and everyone said you should never give a website your real information let alone your real payment information? I don’t think Bezos is worth $100 billion because we are giving Amazon fake addresses and credit cards every time we make a purchase.

After listening to 18 months of “Rogue One is going to suck because Gareth Edwards wants to make a gritty war movie and there is no way Disney lets him kill everyone off”, and then actually seeing Rogue One, I’m assigning this article “the hottest take” status.

This isn’t actually that new. Bioware did nearly the exact same thing following Dragon Age 2. They put the franchise on ice for a little bit, got some distance, studied the data and fan reaction and learned. When they came back to it in Inquisition it was a much better game all around. Mass Effect certainly isn’t…

Star Wars’ strongest suit is that it’s been consistently good the entire time

Luck?!?! Are you guys kidding? It’s not like the ball landed right in his hands with nobody around. The amount of fast thinking required to calculate something as unpredictable as this specific play... with three defenders around you, no less... is unbelievable. Jones had some amazing catches, don’t get me wrong, but…

And for one, brief, shining series, that catch was one of the best catches in Super Bowl history.

Love for a daughter and hatred for the Empire

If you made it legal to run a U-Haul storage unit like you run an apartment guess which way apartment quality would head.

Because there are standards in place for safety and building codes and storage units are not made to have people living in them like this from a fire hazard standpoint at least. And there’s no plumbing of any kind so anyone living there has to use the next door gas station for bathroom breaks and showering? And he…
