I'm just wondering when we are going to get back to #7 or do I need to clean the OT out

I only believe that because you like to support the underdog. The OT gets too much praise and the PT doesnt get any praise so I think you just say you like the PT more because you dont conform to what everyone loves or says.

First Look at Kylo Ren’s Ship as a LEGO Set!!

Star Wars Underworld shared a picture with a LEGO set from the upcoming The Force Awakens series. The set has an item number #75104 which matches with the “Lead Villain Vehicle” from the list of upcoming LEGO releases…

As you can see the ship matches with the one we’ve seen in the second teaser, and one of the leaked concept arts. Also it appears that the ship is flying over a forest planet. The picture doesn’t give a good idea of the scale, but this set will be sold for around $150 so it has to be pretty big.

Have they released any preview toys for this yet? I remember how exciting it was to get the Battle Droid vehicle action figure set and Mace Windu action figure mail-away figure before Phantom Menace came out.

Trying to remain spoiler free but I couldn't resist. Ship looks cool!

I really hope Han and Chewie have some decent screen time

Observation room in Grievous's ship looks like the throne room on the Death Star in ROTJ, Anakin does what Luke would not. Yeah. We get it. EVERYBODY got it. Now people are crowd-sourcing a documentary to explain the obvious. Next up on the news, Dog Chases Tail.

Nobody synthesized it on this level before. And often times, as in the case of Red Letter Media, Lucas' "It's like poetry" explanation has been spun as a bad thing. Not so in this case.

Heck, phantom Menace truly adds nothing to the PT saga. The only important portion of the film is discovering anakin, which could have been done better anyways.

The trilogy should have started with AotC, with the second film taking place during the clone wars.

False. Ring Theory elaborates on the importance of film structure. You can't tell me such an elaborate structure isn't a plus for the Prequels.

Doesn't like what I have to say. Responds with "he's drunk" explanation.

Less than 7 months to go. I think we need a trailer!

Okay, time to quit the PT and focus on Episode VII.

There was a report that a new trailer was shown at a private event a couple of weeks ago. We might see it in July before the final trailer in October.

Synopsis leaked.

[Show spoiler]When a ruthless prince rises to power and threatens galactic peace, a runaway soldier, an uncongenial scavenger, and a hot shot pilot find their fates intertwined as they embark on a journey to find the most powerful warrior in the galaxy.

[Show spoiler]A "prince?"

[Show spoiler]Most likely Kylo Ren, he could be Leia's son? Runaway soldier - Finn, uncongenial scavenger - Rey, hot shot pilot - Poe Dameron and the most powerful warrior in the galaxy - Luke Skywalker.

We have no confirmation if the synopsis is legit though.

[Show spoiler]totally unrelated Prince, there are scenes taking place in a castle. Will there be a King in the story? We did have a Queen before but some might not like that idea.

EBay seller viperskingdom has once again opened auctions for figures not yet released, and in one instance it is a product reveal!

Check out the The Black Series 6-Inch The Force Awakens Stormtrooper. This figure is likely going to be released this summer and may in fact be Hasbro's San Diego Comic-Con exclusive.

Nobody's spent hours of their time stating the obvious? Look, I get SW fans want to fight back against all the years of prequel carping, but this "ring theory" isn't a theory, it's right out in the open. It's like someone doing a 90,000 word essay on why Brody shot the air tank in JAWS. Everybody got it the first time, everybody already gets it, explaining what everybody already knows doesn't do a thing to redeem the myriad problems with the films. If the Prequels are so brilliant on a structural level, explain why Lucas dropped the trail of breadcrumbs imlpying Anakin was created by the Sith, never resolved the whole "Sifo-Diyas" mystery...in his own words, he said he ran out of time. Yeah, the films are genius and we're all too stupid to not connect the dots. No. We got it. Everybody gets it. Lucas fumbled the ball. Love the guy and all he's given to the world. He was the wrong man to write those movies and see them through completion.
