So you suggest "Star Wars The Real Episode I, That Other One Isn't Canon Anymore"?

Remaking the prequels is ridiculous. They're done, some people like them, some people hate them.

Remakes happen all the time in Hollywood. The Star Wars prequels don't deserve some kind of golden calf status.

And I think you are being very generous by saying some people liked them, some people hated them.

They were critically panned. Taking the fanbase at large they are more hated than liked. If it wasn't for the fact that the fans were starved of new content and had invested so much in the story of Vader's fall then the trilogy would have probably flopped commercially too.

And get actors that actually have chemistry together

Anakin and Kenobi are supposed to be "good friends". Hayden and McGregor were awful in that regard.

Anakin and Padme (shitcan her awful name too) - Zero chemistry. You know a film is awful when it can't even make a romance with Natalie Portman believable.

Revenge of the Sith should have at least half of the movie showing Vader in the suit hunting down and kicking the shit out of the jedi.

No midichlorian bullshit.

Luke has no memory of his mother. Explain why. Leia does. Explain why. The prequels couldn't even get this right.

Yoda should not have met Chewbacca. Just pointless making these kind of connections. The universe is not that small. Same with Anakin building C3PO. Total nonsense. Also Kenobi should never have crossed paths with R2D2.

Fucking hell did Lucas not even watch the originals before making the prequel nonsense?

I don't even know what to say. Just horrific.

Michael Jackson wanted to play Jar Jar Binks.

Can we please stop talking about the prequels. I know I'm guilty of it myself but let's try and keep this about The Force Awakens

JJ Abrams has confirmed in an interview with Empire magazine that Kylo Ren is not a Sith

“Kylo Ren is not a Sith,” confirms JJ Abrams in the new issue of Empire. “He works under Supreme Leader Snoke, who is a powerful figure on the Dark Side of the Force.”

Also some new images

You shot at Axl's house? I hope the neighbours aren't upset

Team Brazil can still be Axl's management and hand over the management of a tour to a firm used to dealing with massive reunions.

As long as they get their money and Axl doesn't lose any power it will go ahead.

I don't think Slash and Duff care enough to start arguing over the name issue again. That ship has sailed.

It would be a nice touch if the guys did maybe three songs from the sideprojects. Kind of a mutual acknowledgement of each others efforts.

One song from CD (Street of Dreams)

One song from Contraband (Slither/You Got No Right)

One song from Duff/Izzy solo stuff

All a bit far fetched at this stage though. I'd settle for just seeing Slash and Axl together in public these days, maybe present an award together or something, that would be nice.

In bed going at it like rabbits, some random playlist on spotify playing away in the background, just as your about to blow your load you become aware of the chorus in the background...and you burst out laughing

What are you guys' opinions on surnames after marriage? As in should the girl take the guy's name, should he take hers, should you combine...?

The old fart in me always thinks double barrelled names are poncey as hell.

I used to think that. Only the royals or The Royle Family types had double barrels. I found the transition to my married name difficult, so use both on Facebook, but only my maiden name for work (as much of my job is built on reputation) and my married name for legal stuff. Keeping it complicated

It's really a personal decision and I found publicly changing my surname weird. I was worried people would think "she's so traditional, she gave up her identity for her husband". I just happen to like my new surname even though nobody seems to know how to pronounce it!

Do what's right for you ARQ

Are you serious

Wonder how things might be if the likes of Perla and Beta had never entered the picture.

i understand the doubt, and I wouldn't count on axl to stick with any decision, but come on guys.

nuGNR is essentially vacant, awaiting replacements

Slash got divorced from the woman who sued axl and was essentially his handler and supposedly replaced his tattoo of her name with a gun

Slash says he's on friendly terms with axl all of a sudden

official GNR twitter accounts suddenly getting nostalgic

Axl sitting on a ton of material he can't find a way to release

This is the first time in about 18 years where the reunion is truly plausible and if Axl wasn't Axl I would say we were over 50% at this point.

Perla sued Axl? What?

Can a mod please change the thread title?

Either get rid of the rumour part or change it to "Slash and Axl on speaking terms again."

Thanks

Perhaps we are waiting for independent confirmation? That could be just sayin

Sorry but that is ridiculous. Do you seriously think Slash is going to make those comments if there is no truth to it?

There is no need to step on eggshells here. It is what it is.

Can a mod please change the thread title?

Meeting my girlfriend's family for the second time this weekend. I obviously shake her father's hand, but do I hug her mother and sisters?

How much pressure to apply to the handshake with her dad.

Too weak and he will think your a pusswad who can't look after his daughter. Too firm and he will think this new cocky young gunslinger wants to be top dogg.

Kiss the father, high five the mother, grab the sisters tits.

Fuckin lol certain people are already claiming they knew about this for some time

Yeah, it's obvious that:

Axl and Slash are talking

They're right now on good terms

Reunion is either being worked on top secret, or hasn't really been discussed yet.

It is obvious eh?

a few hours ago we didn't know shit.

In fact we still don't know shit. All we know is they have put the negative stuff behind them. We don't know if they have even met face to face.

This is really good! It may not mean that GN'R will reunite but there's a higher probability of at least guest appearances by Slash with nuGN'R and Axl with SMKC!

And if not then it's great that two old friends talk again!

I hope Slash has more self-respect than to grace NuGNR with his presence.

Might as well remove the rumour tag Russ.

Even Palpatine in Revenge of the Sith was all wrong.

In the original trilogy he was the very embodiment of evil. Cold, calculating and with an air of danger that even Vader seemed nervous around him. His WORDS alone carried enough threat that he didn't even have to fight or use the force, not until the very end. It was perfect.

In Revenge of the Sith he was portrayed as a cackling lunatic. An over the top buffoon to be honest. The only part that seemed consistent with Palpatine of old was when Windu came to his office.

Everything after his transformation was just hammy bullshit.

I haven't seen Cavill in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. yet but judging from the trailer he does have the look.

However his previous roles have left me with the opinion that he has no charisma.
