A few months back (I forgot to mention it) I picked up this bad boy still sealed. "Love Kills" 12" Extended Dance Remix.

Gonna go with The Game. The Miracle and A Kind of Magic are close second/third, then Hot Space and The Works.

Darth Maul has been alive in canon since 2012, before Disney bought Star Wars. He appeared in The Clone Wars and Rebels. He even has a duel with Sidious in one of the last seasons of The Clone Wars. Shit I haven't watched more than the first half of season one of Rebels and I know this shit. Maul eventually tracks down Kenobi and duels him again.

Maul's survival of Episode I pre-dates Disney and was approved by George Lucas who was very involved with The Clone Wars TV show.

I watched a screener of this.

It is fun. It is not without its problems but it is probably better than it has any right to be. I wasn't too keen on the beginning, and actively disliked the ending, but there was a period from circa Chewbacca's entry, up to when they arrived at that desert planet with the cargo, where I was sitting back and enjoying things, and forgetting the baggage that comes with a film such as this. Ending aside, probably the films biggest problem is the story line is so predictable, with every trope recycled such as the,

mentor figure advising a disciple that you ''shouldn't trust anybody'' only for them themselves to betray you cliché, compounded with a love interest betrayal cliché. You see the two betrayals signposted a mile off. 

But it was fun. It flows along in an enjoyable manner. The space ship stuff was fun. It quipped along as Disney films do. Chewbacca was of course enjoyable. The droid was a typical star wars-esque character. It ticked along.

Then the ending,

Darth Maul.

Throwing such a fanboyish easter egg in like that that was far too forced! Is every character in this universe connected? As I said earlier, how small is this bloody galaxy? And unleashing the light saber with ''Duel of Fates'' playing! And I realise Maul apparently survived his death in Phantom Menace and got robot legs or some bollocks but I do not care about any of that expanded universe garbage. For me Liam Neeson chopped him in half. Far too overt and forced. 

 

I think my main complaint is Han seemed less Han and more Star Lord.

I think they tried to make Han too much like Star Lord instead of Han. 

Brian is fucking spot on. Voice and everything. 

It was about as good as I expected  

Nice small mention to some bounty hunters we’ve seen before, Aurra Sing and Bossk. 

This leaker and another both claim this is the last of the trilogy format, but not the end of the Kylo story. A second leaker claims we’ll have Episode IX part 1 & 2 or Episode IX and Episode X, but no X, XI, XII. 

Second leaker claims Kylo is light and Rey is darkness, major twist is Kylo is both villain and hero. 

This all sounds like shit.

Rian’s trilogy is supposedly about the origin of the force, thousands of years before KOTOR. 

Anyone seen the leak for IX? So bad. It’ll make TLJ look like Empire. I’ll put spoilers just in case it’s true. 

I'd put it above TFA just because it has Luke in it and we get a decent lightsaber battle with the Praetorian guards. I'd easily rank the prequels above the sequels.

There’s a button, not sure which one since I’m on mobile, but you can also do [ spoiler ] spoiler and then [ /spoiler ]. 

 

Without the spaces of course.

I think it's pathetic about Sami Zayn not being allowed on that show.

I wonder what Stepanie thought, when she wasn't allowed to dine with the Saudi Royal family with her father, brother, husband and Angle/Taker/Lesnar.

Vile proganda that they facilitated.

I heard it was Sami’s decision not to go. 

WWE apparently got in a bit of trouble for showing videos of the women on the tron.

How do you do the spoiler tag on mobile? I can't figure it out.

I may be jynxing it, but I have a feeling this'll be the best of the Disney SW films thus far.

So far, I think Rogue One is the best Disney SW.

So does Braun just keep the belt? Is it defended? Or does the winner of the next GRR get the title?

Solo's gonna be better than expected.

I walked into this almost completely spoiler free, so I was surprised.

Good movie, I don’t think it’s going to break Avatar though. Some co-workers said it’s obvious it’ll beat Avatar. 

I was joking with a friend that Reigns was going to spear Lesnar through the cage. I can’t believe they did that!

who the hell is Snoke?

That’s the question, innit? People been asking that since TFA. 

Miz should have been about to grab the IC title and then Y2J should have hit the code breaker on him to keep him from tying his record. 

According to the wiki, season 4 starts at day 794 which is 150+ days after TWD season 8 ends.

Who knows? These days the DNA match could have come from Ancestry DNA where you submiy DNA to find heritage and lost relatives, but really that's just a way to get people's DNA for the govt database if you ask me.  

That's exactly how it happened according to the radio show I listened to this morning. They said someone sent in DNA to ancestry.com or something similar and the police were keeping an eye on it.

What did the fucknugget tell you? Just Outta curiosity. 

I think it was along the lines of "Kylo is the big bad, he kills Snoke and Luke".
