    Game of Thrones

    Normally I would have had to wait for the series to end before I could have caught up with the rest of you, but friends invited me to watch it with them I wish I hadn't. There were parts of the seventh run when characters started acting in bizarre ways, the most obvious one being the...

    Peter Mayhew, RIP :'(

    Sad, sad, sad news. To loose Peter so soon after Carrie. Tears me up when I see the photos of them together. A dark day indeed. Fare you well, you big walking carpet. RIP Chewie!!!

    Re-make of "Dune"

    Alejandro Jodorowsky's version of Dune was always one of those films I regret was never made. The concept art for that, particularly the work of Chris Foss and Giger just amazed me. The Lynch version was just too bizarre though it had its moments, though I did enjoy the Scifi TV series which...

    Star Trek: Discovery (2017)

    Well, it was a glorious mess there is no doubt about that. Kudos to the VFX crew , but there was just far too much to keep up with going on. That space battle was just everywhere and included, I swear ,the kitchen sink. .

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Pre-release)

    Rewatching the trailer and seeing the Death Star II wreckage at the end I kind of wonder if they are all there to try and scavenge all the remaining Kyber crystals from the laser ?Its probably the easiest way to source them and make more new lightsabres quickly. Thats about the only strong...

    Miniature Spacecraft in The Mandalorian Star Wars TV show

    In certain films models work best, in others the CGI is so exceptional its difficult to tell, many manage to combine the best of both worlds. Watching that on Sunday it seemed what they were really trying to do was make the ship move like the OT ships, rather than the ridiculous manoeuvring we...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Pre-release)

    Its kind of a disappointment to come to this thread and read all this flaming again. I was absolutely blown away by the bootlegged footage of "The Mandalorian". I hoped it would be good, but when I saw just how much attention had been paid to the OT and the concept overall I felt elated. This...

    The Mandalorian (TV series)

    Keep looking on youtube. They've actually dropped a finished scenes teaser trailer after they shutdown the live feed and it feels like I 've just jumped back in time. Is this actually Episode 6.5!!!!! The incinerator trooper! IGGY! The Jawas. The Tie fighter ! I can't believe they...

    The Mandalorian (TV series)

    Heres another, the first I watched has already gone!!! I honestly would not have believed anything could have thrilled me more than this trailer after TLJ left me feeling so down with SW ,but I can feel the fresh blood of fandom flowing through my veins again.

    The Mandalorian (TV series)

    If you look quickly on YouTube you can get to see the BTS reel they wouldn't show on the live stream. When I saw the Mando on the Dewback and then the Sandcrawler shot I honestly had tears in my eyes!!!! And the panel was brilliant!!! Dave and Jon were so great. And Pedro , Gina and Carl just...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Pre-release)

    Well, what ever happens it is the end of the Skywalker stories for a while. Disney Boss Robert Iger Says Star Wars Films Are Going 'On Hiatus' Whether or not this is an effort to drive the Disney streaming service , or they have realise that they need a better more structured approach to...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Pre-release)

    Well, I've slept on it, had a think , and read the posts. A lot seem to have asked why Mark wasn't there? Given the likely speculation over the title , the fact he has "disappeared" at the end of TLJ in such mysterious circumstances and then there was the Palpatine reveal ,it would...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Pre-release)

    I doubt that he's just a bit part. Remember, he's the link from the prequels through to this one, so his appearance is likely to have some strong and deeper meaning to this and across all three trilogies, given the effect he has had on the Skywalker story. Whether he is alive or more likely a...
