Haven't been around in a while, but I saw an Izzy reunion rumor thread and Russ said Alt Nation isn't allowed to be linked per downzy. I'm not familiar with alt nation, I'm just curious why it's not allowed.

Back in the old canon there were two books written called Book of Jedi and Book of Sith, where the author was writing from the perspectives of various good and evil force users.

That’s probably what it’s from then. Thanks.

Where's that from?

I’m not entirely sure. The thread title says “the last page from the book of sith” with no caps or anything and I’ve never heard that title. Nobody has said for sure, but they did mention it’s Legends and they’re talking about Dark Empire and Luke facing AT-ATs with force projection. And they mentioned Rian Johnson used a Legends book when he came up with Luke using force projection. 

Just please, even if just in passing with one tiny sentence, give some kind of closure on fucking Snoke. I’d even be willing to have Palpatine randomly say that was him fucking around. 

Just found this on reddit, gives more credence to new Jedi being Skywalkers. 

In Thrawn Alliances the term Skywalker is said to be of Chiss origin and is said to mean one uses the Force.

Ok I haven’t heard anyone say anything about this, but the beginning of the trailer bugs me. Kylo is speeding toward Rey in a TIE Fighter, why does she run away from him? If she’s going to flip over him, why not just stand there, why run?

It'd been HTGTH. There was a time before the 2006 tour where an awful lot of people were posting it.

Ah looking at the date T3 was released, I wasn’t even aware Guns still “existed”. I didn't join here until 2005.

One of the actors (Boyega, I think) confirmed that IX takes place one year after TLJ. So 35 ABY.

I didn’t see that, so thanks.

It wouldn't be renaming though.  It would be something completely different from a Jedi.  Jedis were only focused on the light side as a means of balancing out the dark side.  

A Skywalker could be a force-sensitive individual who is able to balance both within themselves.  

Kinda goes with that whole “Grey Jedi” junk. 

I think that’s a cop out. Renaming Jedi to Skywalker. One of my least favorite theories. Up there with her being a clone of Anakin and Luke telling her, “You are my father.”

It must be Luke if nobody else is talking about it. It doesn’t sound like him to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Who is talking at the beginning? I can't place the voice. It's not Luke, is it?

With my bonus this year I finally picked up Breath of the Wild and haven't touched my xbox since! I also picked up New Super Mario Bros Deluxe Switch and I gotta say I'm kinda disappointed with it so far. Granted my first play through was with my kids and my daughter was being a moron and just saying over and over "I have no idea what I'm doing" and kept dying. Mind you she's 15 and my nine year old son was playing better than she was.

Looking forward to Mario Maker 2 and Link's Awakening. I also saw a rumor that Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD are being ported to the Switch. I'll probably finally sell my Wii U if those come to the Switch as I only use it for those two Zelda games and Mario Maker.

I finally picked this up last month with my bonus from work. Best Zelda game I've played.

I still remember forum loonies thinking the first single from Chinese Democracy would be on Terminator 3 soundtrack.

 

I don't remember that with T3, but I remember them saying it with Salvation. At least Salvation had the YCBM callback to T2.

Star Wars movies have never had fast forwards, so I'm not sure how in a two to three hour movie you have Rey and Kylo kiss and makeup then have a kid.  

But the second possibility is really interesting.  Perhaps Ren doesn't call herself a Jedi but instead a Skywalker. I suppose it's just semantics, but would make sense considering where TLJ took us and what the new title indicates.  

Good point on the flash forwards, but they never had flashbacks before TFA either. Maybe instead of Reylo's kid, Rey's new Jedi Order will be Skywalkers. I don't know, I just hope this is better than TLJ.

Yeah, I don't get that. End of a saga, The Rise of Skywalker. I say it points to Reywalker, Reylo's kid being "Skywalker", or as I've seen others say, "Jedi" will become "Skywalker".

Definitely looks better than TLJ and it's using discarded concepts from TFA.

In the thumbnail Rey looks almost like she is based on the animated Rey in Forces of Destiny, rather then the other way around.

Can anyone tell if her lightsaber is Lukes? There was vague talk about Lukes lightsaber in the panel.

I really hope we see a corporeal Luke and that he gets some action scenes.

 

No doubt it's Luke's. Impossible to miss if you watch the trailer.

For a couple of weeks back there I thought I liked Rockin’ All Over the World by Status Quo...I’ve since sort of come back to my senses.

It’s better than Guns’ cover of Sympathy, though.

Haha, well... I figure anyone who thinks its awesome has perfected the dance moves?

No. Maybe I should work on that. 😄

Be honest with yourself the song is fuckin' dreadful and everyone involved in its creation should take a long hard look at themselves.  Even Slash, the perrenial battered wife punching bag came out of the creation of  this abomination like 'nah, fuck this band!'. 

I used to think I liked this song. I randomly listened to it for the first time in years today and realized it's kinda shitty.

He openly referred to himself as a feminist.  'openly', like its something to be ashamed of   You know what I mean!

Yeah, that was gonna be my answer to the question, didn't he call himself a feminist? I guess maybe that's why people call him one?

I just have one cassette, Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Vol.2. My local record shop sells tapes as well, that's where I got that one.
