Walsingham Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Yes, I must be gay because I called Ryan Reynolds and Gosling handsome.

Walsingham Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Female TIE pilot, all-around badass, character confirmed.

Malcador Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Female TIE pilot, all-around badass, character confirmed. The lady TIE Bomber pilot in this vid (at 4:10) did make me feel kinda funny in my chair: I couldn't take that seriously with the TIE Bomber being so agile and with that Macross Missile Massacre (but yes, he was aiming to make an anime intro). Still impressive work by that guy to make that by hand. Female TIE pilot, all-around badass, character confirmed. That blaster rifle seems a bit too short for her grip on it. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

Agiel Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) the style reminds me of the 80s version of Area 88 (there was a remake in 2004 or 05 but it was toned down on the violent details like pilots getting shredded by 20mm shells) Fantastic series and surprisingly spot on with some technical details (for instance, yes, it was possible, if not optimal, for an F-8 Crusader to take off with the wings still folded in. Unfolding them in flight? Different story). I couldn't take that seriously with the TIE Bomber being so agile and with that Macross Missile Massacre (but yes, he was aiming to make an anime intro). Still impressive work by that guy to make that by hand. Well there was the one mission in TIE Fighter where you had to fly the TIE Fighter that was "specially modified" with concussion missile launchers to stand a chance against the A-Wings. Edited May 6, 2015 by Agiel Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling

teknoman2 Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 apparently the black dude is the jedi. in some shots he seems to be having the lightsaber The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did. Modern democracy is: the sheep voting for which dog will be the shepherd's right hand.
ManifestedISO Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Technically Han Solo is seen wielding a lightsaber in Empire, gutting the tauntaun-sleeping bag for Luke ... but I can't say whether either, or both, new characters are Jedi.

teknoman2 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 in that case though, Han took it from Luke and used it. in the trailer you can see the black guy having it on his belt, meaning it's his and didnt just picked it up The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.

Blarghagh Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Regarding the lightsaber, possible minor spoilers: If I remember correctly the plot synopsis given at some con was that Luke's lightsaber is found on Tatooine by Boyega's character and he goes on a search to find him, so that would explain why he's carrying a lightsaber. Doesn't mean he's a Jedi.

BruceVC Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) How cool is this but I have just noticed that the DSTV subscription I have is offering a dedicated Stars Wars channel in anticipation of the launch of the new movie. So all 6 previous movies will be shown plus any Stars Wars related interviews, cartoons and documentaries. It starts on the 31 August http://www.dstv.com/en-ng/news/star-wars-movies-channel-20150810 Now that's commitment to the franchise Edited August 13, 2015 by BruceVC "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
