Re: The HoSS Cantina

Yeah, I read the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn back in the day and really loved it. It was such a great way to pick up on the events of the universe 10 years later. While I understand Disney's desire to wipe the slate clean so they can tell their own stories without having to reference 50+ books written by different authors that lost track of the narrative themselves, I really wish they would have just kept a select few really good stories cannon and built on them. They were smart enough to see the value of the Thrawn character and have reintroduced him into the cannon via Star Wars Rebels and now a new series of books (also written by Timothy Zahn, the first of which I read and it was also great), so why couldn't they see that they already had better stuff to work with than what was in TFA & TLJ? Captain Phasma has been such a disappointing and forgettable character. I feel they could have mined the books for some better ideas and characters to use than what they came up with on their own. It wouldn't need to be an exact adaptation of any one story, but Marvel has been very successful adapting different story elements from decades of comics into new movies. |

It was better the first time as Firefly. I kept thinking on this is episode ---, oh now it is episode ---. It was OK. Nowhere near Roque One but better than TFA.

Re: The HoSS Cantina
So I've been wanting to come up with my Star Wars movie ranking list but it is a little difficult so I decided to do what I always do: Use the numbers.
I've only done the Phantom Menace so far (chose it first since it's the only Episode movie excluded from Machete Order, and that's how I want to watch the series when I do my rankings), but what I did for this was watch every chapter intensely, analyzing it and giving it a score out of 10. I then multiplied that number by the seconds in that chapter (according to this website). After doing that for every chapter, I totaled them up (excluding the Opening Logos and End Credits) and divided that number by the maximum amount of points that could be earned (time of movie in seconds times 10). Anyways, at the end of the calculations for The Phantom Menace, it earned 50.44% of the maximum points. For comparison, The Phantom Menace earned a 6.5/10 on IMDb, 55% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 51% on Metacritic. The link below is to the Chapter rankings and calculations: The Phantom Menace Ranking |

Re: The HoSS Cantina
Fantasy Flight Games just announced the Clone Wars Legion starter set. I'm not familiar with this era other than seeing the prequels once each when they came out.

Word is that they are going to start making the models out of hard plastic and be on sprues. I've read that there may be some build options for certain models. I guess they are going the route of Games Workshop in that regard, though I don't know if they will be as extensive with optional builds. But the prices look to be the same as the previous releases for comparable products.
