Time to get the Star Wars toys out again

Anpu · « **Reply #1 on:** February 05, 2018, 08:28:51 AM »

Never had a chance to put them away. Soon (TM) I must start my own Star wars thread...

Well they've got enough unsold Rose toys at my local TK Max to make an army of Roses if you want.

Going forward, I'm afraid Star Wars is a "wait until it comes on the telly" franchise for me now.

Understandable given the direction Disney seem to betaking them but this does have the feel of rogue One,which is no bad thing in my book

Maybe. I was pleasantly surprised by Wonder Woman, though. I was expecting two hours of ham-fisted propaganda for the Culture Wars, instead I got a really cool superhero movie. Probably my favourite superhero movie yet. And Fury Road is actually (possibly heretical to say this) now my favourite Mad Max picture. So there still are some people out there who can make good genre films.

Fury Road was three years ago. I suppose that is a long time ago to some people. Feels like yesterday to me.

Okay... remember when we used to laugh at Alf Garnett/Archie Bunker/Alfred Tetzlaff (whichever works in your part of the world) and his rants about how the world wasn't like it used to be... that's where this thread is going.

I thought this was going to be about the forthcoming Solo film, not Pop culture and Fury road

Can't we keep it on track with the OP?

Personally, I'm looking forward to it - didn't like TLJ that much, but really liked Rogue One. Let's hope Solo is another good spin off.

Thank you Mark

I did see a new Tie fighter variant so hopefully Bandai will come up trumps again

Disney has explicitly and proudly positioned Star Wars as a political franchise so I don't think you can really avoid discussion of it.

Of course we can, we just focus on the film's entertainment value and gaming potential and avoid falling into the political/religious discussion trap. We're all adults here, so not really that difficult.

I'm sure X-wing will get a new wave of ships too!

A lot of being an adult seems to involve politely pretending not to notice the elephant in the room.

Not too sure about the monorail thingy but I suppose it depends on the context

How about politely staying on topic and stop bringing your personal agenda into it... Again...

I hated Rogue one and liked The last Jedi.

This looks decent enough. I hope we get to see Solo do the Kessel run.

Captain Blood · « **Reply #14 on:** February 05, 2018, 02:31:38 PM »

Please keep it on topic, and try not to turn it into a big issue. If you hate Star Wars / Disney / Lucas / whatever so much, you don’t need to take part in a thread about the wargaming or modelling potential of the movies. Thank you.
