Nice demo for classes, it makes a whoosh-oink sound.</p> <p>I've only seen bits, a few youtube clips and I'm vaguely aware of some characters. One of my exes dragged me into one of the films in the late 1990s when they were repeated in the cinemas. Her dream job was working as a vet on a whaling vessel making sure that the whales are dead before being cut up, so it was better not to disagree with her.</p> <p>It was something about a young man from the desert looking for a purpose in life, so a religious sect trained him for a suicide mission against a government property. </p> <p>It didn't really interest me enough to watch the others, and we broke up anyway. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16238&page=3#post-216113 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 21:27:16 +0000 SRD 216113@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>hee hee. just watched the trailer. but the best bit is: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOe0tbBDHQ4&amp;nohtml5=False" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOe0tbBDHQ4&amp;nohtml5=False</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16238&page=3#post-216112 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 20:12:46 +0000 gembo 216112@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Rogue One A Star Wars Story coming our in December is set between the end of the prequel trilogy and the start of the main trilogy.</p> <p>Trailer looks good. Forrest Whitaker in charge, female hero, plenty of AT80 action</p> <p>Many rebels died to get this information </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16238&page=3#post-216087 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 14:41:46 +0000 wingpig 216087@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You could have a television panel-quiz about Star Wars etc. in which the contestants were people who profess to have never seen the films, just to see how much stuff they've picked up. It's hard to not accidentally absorb any information about something in which you have no interest - I have no interest in professional association football but am still unfortunately aware of information concerning it, mostly due to the amount of time other people spend jibbering about it within range of my ears. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16238&page=3#post-216085 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 14:30:07 +0000 gembo 216085@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@paddyirish you could pitch an idea for a show called I've Never Seen Star Wars, get some indie comic like Marcus Brigstoke to present it and he follows people around doing things we have all done but they haven't. E.g. Art critic Brian Sewell goes to fish and chip shops in his slippers and buys a poke of chips.</p> <p>Oh wait, Brian Sewell died, oh wait this programme already exists </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16238&page=3#post-216084 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 14:24:04 +0000 paddyirish 216084@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>:-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16238&page=3#post-216083 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 14:18:02 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 216083@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sorry paddyirish, I'm not sure I follow you?

Hopefully George Lucas was taking note of audience reactions to the ice-cave-homage-scene in Awakens and comparing them to his clunkily-announced Yoda-drawing scene near the end of Clones.</p> <p>Apart from the odd bit of selected-scene story-fleshing I try to steer the oldest child towards the original trilogy. He might need one sweep through them before Rogue One comes out, though it'll hopefully be this-was-before-Episode-IV rather than this-is-between-Sith-and-IV. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16238&page=3#post-216053 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 22:40:03 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 216053@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"That's a bit mean.

Despite all this, I simply do not think 'a new hope' when someone says 'number 4'.</p> <p>And MrSRD says that the whole Darth Vader backstory - and the idea that he is Luke's father was a much later development - it's not mentioned at all until '78. So it's not some grand theme that GL always has at the back of his mind. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16238&page=2#post-216042 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 19:20:31 +0000 Min 216042@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>@Wilmington's Cow it looks you're rebelling against the Empire.
