I also plan to get Disney+ but only if it comes on Xfinity or LG smart TV as refuse to buy more gear for subscriptions.
Do you have a Roku, Apple TV, or a gaming console?

I don't....I do have Amazon Prime Video, Netflix and Comcast cable - all together it's quite expensive, but I can get into every app easily through the TV or the Comcast 4K box, which is awesome. I heard they were going to wait until the last minute to strike deals with the smart TVs and cable companies....

The place genuinely looks fucking amazing. The falcon cockpit. My heart stopped.

I have to go over to this.
If I get into the falcon cockpit, I promise that I will randomly shout "dime" inside of it :)

That's so great. He's the best.

Also, im actually kind of surprised Mark Hamill never went on to really do any leading man roles. I always thought he was a very handsome man in the late 70's early 80's. he went a different route and was very successful but im also a little surprised.

He guy totally typecast. But wanted to other things. It didn’t go wrong for him exactly but it’s just didn’t work out. Then you look at Harrison Ford. Who was a massive star globally and even before ROTJ came out cos he did Indy at the same time.

They both were absolutely nobody’s doing Star Wars.

Life is weird and cruel sometimes.


That sale hamill has a very comfortable lifestyle and huge house in Malibu even before Disney brought him back for TFA. I’d say his grandkids will be comfortable to life at this point.

He’s been set since Lucas gave him points for the OT. Ford and Fisher, too.

Still debating giving this Glen Hansard guy a listen. With all the chatter going on today I somehow feel like he won't be able to live up to the hype

Saw that when it came out. Don't remember much about it, but I don't think I was a fan

Well it’s a film. The last of nine. It has some work to do but she’ll hold together.


Hold together.
