  • So the lesson here is come up with your own ideas, and avoid mucking up someone else’s. Unless you’re George, in which case don’t touch your characters either. Don’t do it, man!
  • I’d be down for that. Lucas’ madness is unique, if nothing else.
  • Honestly, Disney just needed to adapt the Thrawn trilogy. Everything was already laid out for them.

  • What you’re observing is the immense size of Star Wars fandom. SP did have its fair share of toxic idiots, which you still see, with the criticisms already leveraged towards Lashanda Lynch’s role and appearance in NTTD, but the size of Bond fandom i…
  • SP is also aided by the fact that is it isolated to Craig’s Bond timeline. It doesn’t have any affect on any of the Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, or Brosnan films, which were entirely disconnected anyway. The entire Sequel Trilogy retroactively r…

  • Everyone wins! :D I read a rumor that there were two cuts of TROS - one by JJ and KK, and another by Lucas who was brought in by Bob Iger. They say Lucas' cut was more postively received by screening audiences, but JJ/KK went forward with their c…

  • No offense, @Zekidk, but I'm losing sight of what point you're actually trying to make here. FRWL is an almost perfect adaptation of the book, which is purely a moody spy drama, with the sole exception of those tacked on action sequences at the end …
  • For anyone who doesn't post here, the DB5 is Bond.
  • All signs point to the events of NTTD honing in on Norway.

  • I've got a fanedit for that as well. :D
  • Of course they are! I don't think anyone would argue they aren't. :)
  • Zekidk wrote: » @Minion That's a poor example, because if I remember correct there are lightsabers in every Star Wars movies. And I do believe in icons. That's why I loved the return of the Millenium Falcon in EP VII. That’s more a sign o…
  • That’s like saying Star Wars isn’t Star Wars if there isn’t a lightsaber. Stories shouldn’t be bound by such surface level iconography. That line of thinking is precisely what compromised TWINE from reaching its full potential.
  • I wouldn’t presume to speak of what led someone else to become a fan of this franchise. Each film needing to follow an unwavering structure and cross off a checklist of cliches is certainly not why I like Bond.
  • Adventure films... that can also be Bond. :)
  • So, rolling back to your original argument, what about NTTD leads you to fear these elements won’t be present?

  • Boy, am I sure glad that Bond and M:I together give me 30 great movies to watch at any given moment, soon to be 33. Toss Bourne in there, and that number jumps to 38. Oh, we can include Jack Ryan and John Wick as well. 46 films! If I keep going a li…
  • I’ve got some really thoughtful fan edits of the prequels that make them quite enjoyable, so no doubt in a decade a similar effort will be made to streamline the ST as well for those who dislike it. Assuming Disney doesn’t try to stamp out that comm…
