Are you sure?

Right then, back to the topic.

Great episode tonight....very appropriate for Halloween.

Next week's episode looks great as well with the return of Hondo Ohnaka.

Yes this will be great. Please writers let them recruit Hondo as a privateer Pretty, pretty please.

Maybe JJ thought we've seen enough space combat in the other trilogies and wanted to shake things up a bit? No one can argue that the scenes from the trailer with the T-70s and Tie/FOs isn't going to be spectacular to watch in the film itself!

If so my respect for his abilities as a director and intellegence will drop and it is already nearing zero.

Well JJ isn't wrong if that's what he thinks. Tell me: Can you think of one atmospheric battle yet in the trilogies?

There ain't any. It'd be a first, honestly. Which is totally cool.

Hoth, albeit atmospheric vs surface.

There was also Bespin, though that was mainly the Millenium Falcon being chased.

Hoth, albeit atmospheric vs surface.

Not much of a dogfight.

No, battles between atmospheric vessels and surface assets tend not to be.

Honestly...I never understood, why, in some of the EU stuff that all of a sudden the writers decided to make the Empire out to be racist xenophobes?

Because the Empire was based on the Nazi party and that's what they were. It also made the Empire look worse, and helped explain why the death star is populated almost completely with white males.

Who effing cares if Finn is "black"?

Has anyone here made a comment about it?

Hoth and Bespin from the OT.

Prequels also had some in Episode 2 and Ep 3 started with a space battle that ended in atmosphere, so the transition was there, and the effects for it were included for the battles conclusion.

There was a hashtag trending on twitter from trolls who were making a big deal about it, the day of the last trailer release. The entire thing was just complete and total nonsense and really isn't worth talking about.

There was apparently a backlash when it was revealed. Honestly I didn't care then, don't care now.

Black Stormtroopers, blonde aryan stormtroopers, female stormtroopers. ALL GOOD.

The entire thing was just complete and total nonsense and really isn't worth talking about.

Then why are we?

Ok...

I mean I knew that the stormtroopers tended to be exclusively human, but never knew they were exclusively white in any sort of canon source.

They wern't

Though for a period they were new zealanders.

Yeah- that's what got people's goat. Problem is, those who complained don't know what time is.

Specifically, half a century.

Nothing changes in THAT short a time...

Are we trying to get this thread locked?

The Death Star was populated by British extras and Shakespearean actors.

Anyway Stormies went from being all clones of one man to being extremely diverse new batch clones and volunteer/conscripts within less than two decades. The only things keeping aliens from being Stormtroopers are fitting in the uniform and being able to use the weapons. And I suppose wanting to join the empire's military in the capacity of a grunt. (Or marine, depending on your view of the stormies.)

You know, you're right. And isn't that a little weird, for a movie series called Air Wars ?

Air Wars.

Humor. I love it!

Any chance of getting back to the Rebels show? I mean, there isn't a shortage of TFA topics.

No. Self-imposing a ban from this thread. Sorry all. Wrong place (er, thread) and all to voice my "angst".

Watched it last night, didn't know there would be another episode this week. That or I didn't get to last weeks until this week...

Enjoyed it, liked how choper came up all "kung fu fighting" when they fixed him. I also like the tension between Rex and Kanan, it's quite fitting. Should be interesting to see the inquisitors go up against him, or better yet Asoka. They're clearly not very powerful dark jedi.

One thing I really like about the show, is how they do Kanan and Hera. It's so subtle, that you have to watch for it, but yet there's no real question they're a couple. It's like it's just incidental to them... I guess they seem like a real couple who's been together for a while. It's nicely done.

Yup. I like how they can be a couple without having to "hug and Kiss" all the time. Star Wars has never been an overly affectionate place, and certainly not a sexual place. The love in Star Wars leans more towards being "Warm" than being mushy.

And for the record, before this show ends, I would LOVE to see an episode where the run across another ship roughly similar to their crew - with Nathan Fillion as the captain, Alan Tudyk as the pilot and all the rest of the crew of Firefly on board and they do a job together. Oh sweet glory that would be gorram amazing.

Such Firefly reference would make me even watch the show.
