It's hard to address certain things on these forums. People react very strongly to certain things, and crticism of Rian Johnson (and the weakness of JJ Abrahms to not truly correct those problems, and indeed in some instances, make them worse means there's no redemption in this). Basically...

I don't know...these three films seem to belong together...even though they don't have the same person behind them (two of them have Jim Henson's company though). The Dark Crystal The Neverending Story Labyrinth

I'm a POC. I think Rian Johnson is a Racist...things I can't continue to say here. He did Finn EXTREMELY dirty in TLJ. They could have redeemed it in RoSW, and hinted at it, but didn't have the guts. That said, I don't think that's the main reason a lot of people didn't like TLJ, but...

We will differ on opinions on this. 2 Billion on the first film...to half of that by the third...yeah...I'm going to strongly disagree with you on this one. The reputation of SW in general is trash these days. The more they stick with their current plan, the more they lose. If it was 1/2 by...

Sounds Great! I have the game, but sadly have never gotten to play it. I've been playing too much of D&D and other games (not enough time in the world to play them all).

You know what would be almost a perfect Game of Thrones/Not for Kids/ bring out all the dark aspects of Fantasy in all it's grotesque evil and terrible items type of thing. Dark Sun. Pitting the politics of the Dragon Kings and the darkness that they do would be a perfectly adult series that...

The thing is, they are not going to win those they lost with their current canon. If they get rid of the troublesome trilogy, they may have a chance to. It's like the what they did with 4e in the Forgotten Realms. Did it really happen? Are they still adhering to it. Or did it...

I'd say exactly this. If they had replaced it with something people loved (and normally, when you continue on a characters progression, rather than regressing most of them, people will love it a lot more) rather than what they did, I think people would have loved Star Wars even more than they...

As someone mentioned previously, Black Library seems to have a lot of fiction still published. Of course it is Warhammer Fiction, but it is connected to the series. We've recently had Dragonlance and a novel or two for D&D as well (though some of it was for the film).

Looks better than FF at least. (Maybe thats because I just don't really dig the retrovibe the FF trailer had or something...not sure, but this at least looks better)

Iterative attacks are still in 5e. Like, they can even start at 2nd level for some classes, and are much more of a pain to remember (is it a bonus action or not? Can I use this bonus action for this or this?) than even 3e was! Things that limit movement and square movement also... Still...

Not really. I can show how it's related (and even show how characters, such as Fighters and such have similar bonuses at each level), but BX absolutely did NOT have Bounded Accuracy. Not only did they not say it directly, but nothing was limited in how high your bonuses could go in any...

3e was made to be played super loose, which came to bite the creators of it hard. 3.5 they tried to make far more defined. 5e can't be played as loose as 2e, and how massively limted (+4 point range) they made bounded accuracy kills any chance of playing a lot of it like 2e to even begin to...

It's absolutely there. People just choose not to use it, which they could also choose in 3.X, but it's absolutely there in 5e. Where do you think the Sorlock or other things come from. 5e's advancement is basically the same as 3e (and the rest of WotC's XP) which is either milestone or from...

5e is more similar to 3.5 than 2e, any day of the week. It's far more a successor to 3.5 (and 4e even, where do you think bounded accuracy comes from???) than anything from TSR. Similarities in rules, ideas, and how things work (HP dice keep coming, multiclassing, Feats, etc) are all more...

5e doesn't feel like anything related to 2e at all, to me. The closest one might say would be the sub-classes/archetypes each class gets in 5e, at least in relation to Kits (though Kits were not mandatory in 2e and you could play the game just fine without any kits at all). The very limited...

Funny Story (not so funny at the time). Minus the Social Media, that's almost exactly what happened. 2e took out the Terms of Demon and Devil, Assassins were taken out as well as Half-Orcs, and wild shenanigans happened! It took years for a proper assassin (and the monk) to be released again...

Jeff Bezos may not be that bad, TBH. He may seem to have fallen off the rocker recently, but he got his start because he was really into books (like...really...really into books, think the nerdy kid who reads all the time type of book lover). He also enjoys a good fantasy and likes a lot of...

In a nutshell... It's hard to buy something outright, if it's not for sale outright. Sure, you can buy bits and pieces of it, but buying all of it (or at least a controlling interest)...if no one's selling it, that's going to be a tough thing to buy. That said, I've divested a bit of Hasbro...

Naw, I'd say it's more like making James Bond the good guy (though, in theory, though a fictional character, he actually does far far worse than anything we've seen Section 31 do at times).
