    And This Is Why I Hate Toxic "Fan" Boys and Their Bitching!

    AFAIK it's being reported by the 'mainsteam' sites such as Collider, but nothing official from Lucasfilm/Disney. I imagine there's some shred of truth. No smoke without fire etc. On a side note, what's the view on this RemakeLastJedi campaign? I'm no fan of the film, but I can't see this...

    And This Is Why I Hate Toxic "Fan" Boys and Their Bitching!

    Great, well balanced post Snaketibe. Don't think it deserved that response from Savory100. And on that note...... Exactly. I hate TLJ with an absolute passion, but respect that fellow fans enjoyed it. The least you can ask for, is that respect is reciprocated.

    And This Is Why I Hate Toxic "Fan" Boys and Their Bitching!

    Yeah, you're probably right regarding the fanbase. Time will tell. I think the acid test will be the reaction to Episode IX. The divisiveness of TLJ may have diluted by then. If not, who knows..... TBH, I thought it was the other way round. Probably misremembering, but isn't there something...

    And This Is Why I Hate Toxic "Fan" Boys and Their Bitching!

    Oooo.....controversial. Have you considered a career in the diplomatic service? :lol: Whatever your views on the Disney tenure, even the most ardent supporters surely can't disagree that Lucasfilms management of the franchise leaves a lot to be desired. Somehow, they seem to be on the verge...

    12 Backs on a BUDGET discussion

    Thanks for the info Ian. Willing to look at any condition examples TBH, but will more than likely start off with lower end items and ease my way in. Probably try and track down a few of my childhood figures to kick off with (DSC, Vader, Stormtrooper). Have you got any of those to let go? :D Jon

    Stormy in the wild

    OXY-10 zit cream is used in the vintage Action Man community to remove staining from AM heads, with some success. May be worth a go in this instance.

    12 Backs on a BUDGET discussion

    Looking to get into some Palitoy sliced/reseal action. There's been a few 12 back examples on Ebay recently with a £300 BIN. Decent condition, some with footers. I'm assuming these were way overpriced. Not really sure what constitutes a reasonable price. Would the £100 range be more of a...

    Please delete thread

    They really didn't help themselves by shoehorning in their Hollywood leftie politics into TLJ. The whole rich people are bad/animal rights/feminist bollocks was just laughable. As for the Lando 'pansexual' thing...it beggars belief. Keep politics out of it. SW is supposed to be an escapist...

    We'll have to see if it changes anything. Personally, I think Kennedy and her cronies are on borrowed time. Money talks and the Solo film has been handled dreadfully. A real shame as I liked the movie. I suspect Johnsons proposed new trilogy will be quietly shelved as well. Unfortunately, this...

    So what did you think about Solo: A Star Wars Story ??? SPOILERS

    Great, thank you :D . If its the guy from Rebels, that'll be Sam Witwer. Loved how they left that scene. Is Qi'ra a Sith? Didn't she say to Han that she'd "done things" to survive.........hopefully we'll find out in a sequel. Jon

    So what did you think about Solo: A Star Wars Story ??? SPOILERS

    Just got back from seeing it and have to say I enjoyed it overall. Not the unmitigated disaster that was predicted. A good but not great addition to the franchise. I'd go for a solid 7 out of 10 on first viewing. Enjoyed the majority of the film, especially the introductions of the major...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story Solo SPOILERS pre-embargo reactions

    My local Vue has more than halved the amount of midnight screenings (from 12 to 5). Is SW fatigue setting in, or are other factors having an impact (fan boycott etc.)? I'm still interested in seeing it (despite the reviews), but I've thought all along that having a film a year was a big...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story Solo SPOILERS pre-embargo reactions

    Couldn't agree more. If the likes of Collider, Jeremy Jahns and John Campea are giving it so-so reviews, then there's a good chance I'm going to love it. Looks like the fan backlash boycott might just be happening, though. Just checked my local Vue (Cribbs Causeway Bristol) and the midnight...

    bubbles ?

    Top one is a Power Droid ROTJ card bubble, judging by the small sliver of character image you can see. Don't think it's an Ugnaught, as the bubble seems to be more dumpy than the Ugnaught one.

    i believe that R1 will be a future cult classic

    Can't argue with that. Unfortunately, that walk had more mince than John Inman's homemade Cottage Pie.... And I'll have nothing said about the Bristolian accent. Alright my babber! :D I thought Tarkin was the dogs wotsits. I defy anybody who didn't know Peter Cushing was dead, to spot that...

    i believe that R1 will be a future cult classic

    Love Rogue One. Best of the new films by a long way. Apart from a few niggles, it's very Star Warsy and has more emotional impact than TFA and TLJ put together. I think it's reputation will grow over the years. Would love to see Gareth Edwards original cut, before Tony Gilroy was brought...

    Is The Last Jedi better than Caravan of Courage?

    I've never seen Caravan of Courage or Battle for Endor (and never felt the urge to), but surely to God they can't be any worse than that cringe-inducing, SJW wank-fest, franchise killing parody of a SW movie.....................IMHO, of course :wink: .

    Solo: A Star Wars Story Solo SPOILERS pre-embargo reactions

    I should know better, but I'm cautiously optimistic about Solo. Hopefully, it will prove the doubters wrong. After the Last Jedi, I need a palette cleanser. A good, fun Star Wars romp, is all I ask. After the increasingly expanding clusterfuck of the Sequel Trilogy, the standalone films seem...
