Where were all the concerned citizens with their concealed carry permits to prevent this? The police did shoot at him before he entered the school but their firearms were ineffective because the bad guy was wearing body armor. So armed citizens would have been useless. That is also ignoring the fac...

I wouldn't assume any specific character is even coming back. Considering that the original still has some of the best space battles in any TV show or movie, I will be very interested to see what they can do with modern CGI and a decent budget. It be a nice wink to the original if the intro went som...

No, see you still don't understand. What you get from the movie is that a Star Destroyer is bigger than the heroes' ships, and it's pointy and mean. That's called good visual narrative communication. The baddie ships are big and threatening. The Executor is even bigger than that, and even pointier!...

It's basically the old "The Executor is only 8km long" nonsense all over again. Anyone that watches the movie can see that is wrong by at least double. (Hence the modern accepted length of 19km.) See here's the thing. "anyone who watches the movie" can see that the Executor is B...

So I watched through the five episodes again with the kids this time. My daughter (12) and son (9) both loved it so they obviously did something right. Of course my kids did have the unfair advantage of having watched through the original cartoon a few years ago. I caught a lot of little things on t...

I am a child of the '80s. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was the cartoon to my 5 year old self. Obviously as an adult I realize the animation was low quality even by the standards of the time. The writing on the other hand (within the limits of what they were allowed to do at the time) holds...

What is truly baffling to me is why most of the negative comments around the internet seem fixated on Teela's new haircut. I wouldn't even waste my time asking anywhere else but I might get an intelligent answer on this forum. Why the hell do so many people think that haircut is a harbinger of doom ...

New story trailer was posted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXdEeRBh9Zk Looks quite epic. The comments are rather hilarious though. I get the impression most of those people never actually watched the original Filmation cartoon or read the mini-comics that came with the figures back in the '80s. Te...

What is really funny is that the CGI black holes from Interstellar were based on the most recent (at the time) physics calculations about how it should look in real life.

Since nobody else has mentioned it. Apparently this series is centered around Teela, who has to rally the shattered Masters of the Universe after He-Man is defeated by Skeletor. So yeah, teasing a He-Man series with a trailer like this and then immediately dispensing with He-Man is going to predict...

Btw is that Mark Hamill voicing Skeletor? Yes it is. In fact the voice cast reads more like a major motion picture. Mark Hamill (Star Wars, Batman: The Animated Series) as Skeletor Lena Headey (Game of Thrones, 300) as Evil-Lyn Chris Wood (Supergirl, The Vampire Diaries) as Prince Adam/He-Man Sarah...

This just dropped today. If you like cheesy '80s nostalgia mixed with modern animation quality this looks fantastic.

This is also the same idiot that insists on an incorrect continuity order for The Clone Wars series. In season 2 the original episode 11 clearly leads into the start of episode 9. So you should watch season 2 episode 11, then 9, then 10. Instead of admitting they screwed up the original air order he...

Well NASA did award Space X the next moon landing contract, which was suspended pending the Government Accountability Office reviewing Blue Origin and Dynetics's complaints. :roll: I mean if Space X actually gets their rocket system "Starship" working the way they expect to in the next yea...

Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed most of the Vader comic. I actually like that the series shows Palpatine constantly testing Vader and maintaining his dominance over him. Much like how the Clone Wars series helps to sell Anikin's fall in Revenge of the Sith , the comic helps to sell Palpatine's ut...

Space X by a wide margin. Why are you excluding the obvious answer?

Seriously though, I expected Disney-Wars to eventually devolve into bad fan-fiction the way Star Trek did. I underestimated just how fast that would happen. They have succeeded in making Dark Empire look well written and sensible. :shock: I think they already have. Yeah that's what I saying in the ...

WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE IDIOTS THINKING? You are assuming they are? Seriously though, I expected Disney-Wars to eventually devolve into bad fan-fiction the way Star Trek did. I underestimated just how fast that would happen. They have succeeded in making Dark Empire look well written and sensible. ...

That's actually an interesting consideration. Could Yoda, and then Luke, only do what they did, because they were on a Force Nexus planet, with a powerful force user nearby? Or, are we just seeing how the living Force users perceived it, but in reality, the ghost influenced them to do it? In other ...

There is also no reason to assume that just because a Jedi ghost can perform a feat in the presence of another living Jedi that they could do the same in the presence of a dark side user. Again remember Clone Wars is canon. The Mortis arc strongly suggests that the "will of the force" is t...

Well in the original movie Obi-Wan does tell Vader: "If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." However in ESB he tells Luke: "If you choose to face Vader you will do it alone, I can not interfere." Ironically the sequels correctly show fo...

Like I said, you want 'perimeter' security. TIE patrols, sensor drones, battlestations, the works. But to have TIEs this close to the actual construction implies they expect that perimeter to already have been breached. What 'perimeter' exactly? This is Star Wars where enemy combatants can appear r...

You also have different sizes of shipyards, and presumably therefore, able to produce different ships. For example, Kuat Drive Yards encircled the planet Kuat as an artificial ring. it was also one of the major, if not the primary ship producer for the Empire. (Depending on Disney vs Pre-Disney Can...

Now that's an interesting story concept. Boba Fett DID survive but is shunned by Mandalorian society because he's the most incompetent Mandalorian that ever was (after his father) IIRC, in the Clone Wars Mandalorian arc, they brought up Jango and the Mandalorian's said he wasn't a true Mando. Don't...
