He shines (haha!) in ROTJ especially on endor with the ewoks and Han.

But otherwise I want to melt him down for scrap.

Some people seem unable to get over not having Han, Leia and Luke be the main characters of the ST. That doesn't bug me because I never assumed they would be. If we were ever lucky enough to get a sequel trilogy, I never thought they'd be big factors in it.

But I did expect the droids to be. They basically "tell" the story of the OT and that continues in the PT (to a little lesser extent, but it's still there). I always thought when it was said and done that R2 and 3PO would be the one constant through all of it.

Obviously, I love most of what they've done with the ST but that change/diversion has been the most difficult for me.
Good post. :thumbsup:

Same. He's the fuddy duddy of the group.
The people who like him are secretly old aunts.

Context!! dammit Woman!

In fact, she revealed they are working in tandem. “As they finish Game of Thrones, they’re going to segue into Star Wars,” Kennedy said. “They’re working very closely with Rian.”

“I think this is a huge opportunity to step into the galaxy in a little bit different part of the timeline,” Kennedy added.

Please do not discuss any of those minor movies or series here.

This is the official thread of the last chapter of the saga. The important one.

The very talented Bryan Young from Full of Sith is currently in Ireland and visiting all the locations used for filming TLJ and getting lots of cool stories from local people who worked with the production. Well worth a follow. I didn’t know about this for example.
Looks cool.

I didn’t know about that one specifically being used for the cave. No mention of that in the making of.

I am planning to return to skellig this summer though. I’ll get you a little stone and send it to you.

Your weight is stones, your money is pounds. Jesus Christ. What’s next, time in miles?

It’s not the same thing 11 stones is in lbs.

11 stones is 154 lbs
75 kg is 165 lbs

That’s quite a difference.
