I want Imperial Boba to make justice to this epic character... :(

I've said it before i'll say it again modern art sucks bantha poodoo.

Having gotten an art degree, I have studied modern art quite a bit. I will agree that there is a lot of crap out there that is considered "art". Also, though, "modern" is pretty much anything from the 1800's onward. I don't agree that everything made in the last 20-50 years is terrible, though. Is there a lot that is bad? Absolutely. Is it all bad? No.

Don't confuse modern with abstract. Not all abstract is bad, just most of it.

I can never consider someone making a crack in the floor or nailing two eggs to a table art.

I'll agree with that, but I was actually surprised to discover I liked Duchamp's "Urinal" piece after reading about the history of it and why he did it. I hate the rest of his work, but I like that piece.

The dadaists and surealists pushed hard to open the definition of what is "art". That some of it is not to your taste is understandable to say it isn't art though. That is not cool. We are richer as a culture for a broader artistic vision.

someone nicking a bus stop and displaying it is lazy, art takes effort it should inspire thought and feelings a bus stop does not do this and it's not even your work someone else made it.

OK...I don't mean to question whether it's art or not. I do question whether it's good art or not. Anything done with intent can be considered "art". Someone living in a trailer park as a redneck with the intent of it being performance art can be called art, where some redneck just living in a trailer park isn't. That doesn't mean it's good or not. Of course, that is all subjective.

Oh i think the unintentional art is sometimes the best. I'd never try to dictate taste to someone else though.

It only becomes art when someone has the eye for it and declares it. You can have a bus stop sign out there and it's just a bus stop, but as soon as someone declares it "art" does it actually become art. Someone can grab it and put it in a gallery and call it art and it's art, just really bad art in most people's mind. Then again, all it takes is one millionaire to spend too much on it and justify it. There was once a Dutch prince who threw paint through his private jet's turbines to have it splatter on a canvas behind it. That's art, but really bad art in my opinion. Intellectually lazy art, but art.

In the new Boba Fett movie, it will be revealed he actually runs a flower shop by day on Coruscant, and the bounty hunter thing was just some serious cosplay run amok.

Flowers by Fett when you want to brighten their day but don't own a flame thrower.

Back on target.

What do you guys think of Andy Serkis character's name of "Snoke."

At least it's not as eyebrow raising a choice as "Sheev" Palatine.

I like Snoke better than Supreme Commander. That title sounds pretty dumb.

Please, show some respect and use his full name. He is the Emperor, after all. It's "Sheeven". Only his friends can call him "Sheev"

Supreme Commander Talonbane Cobra has a nice ring to it.

Like my contemporary Grand Moff Tarkin and Grand Vizer Pestage, I have been a loyal life long supporter of His Imperial Majesty since the very beginning of his struggle to bring Peace in our time.

His great Vision of a New Order is the only Unifying Force that is the true salvation of our troubled Galaxy.

Modern abstract art was a tool used by the CIA to fight communism.
