PT RYL: OOM-9s Thread of Battle Droid Greatness - PT Social Thread (RYL Movie Night - Fri 7/26, 9 PM)

Thought the same thing DA. They’ve gotten so much better w/people lol. Bo Peep stood out to me compared to her movements in 1 & 2.

The newest Aladdin trailer Will Smith posted a few days ago looks good too. I’m on the fence about seeing it, but I do love how colorful it looks.

Finished Resistance. The last episode was its best imo. Shockingly I was kinda into the flying stuff, & it wrapped things up good. That said I’m still rooting for the FO. Don’t look if you don’t want spoilers!

Spoiler

Poor Tam! If they hadn’t lied to her all this time she’d have been a great asset in the resistance. I felt for her, & was glad they had her make the choice to leave w/the FO, that they didn’t backtrack & have her stick w/the crew (with no casualties other than Kaz’s unnamed, never seen, barely mentioned family on Hosnian Prime, SOMEone that we actually did care about had to go). I want them to bring her back into the story somehow in S2.

Torra was great, & I want more Synara & the space pirates, reminded me of Capt. Hook & his ship.

So yeah. Overall it was okay. The last few I think were really good; imo the first half of the season had far too many stupid Kaz antics. Apparently it’s coming back this fall; it’ll be interesting to see where they go from here.

 

Greg Lukis gave me the unedited reels of all the films and they're amazing......


......though I must say the scene before Anakin goes to save Palpatine is kinda boring. it's just Anakin and Padme standing in front of a green screen and silently crying

 

Resistance has me feeling similar feels like Rebels did with its first season.

Spoiler

Its starts off as just a 'oh this is kinda fun' series for me but by the middle and end of the first season I'm officially hooked, though this time they didn't really have bigger characters as a hook like with Rebels' Vader and Ahsoka tease. For now I'm just very interested to see what they do with Tam in the first order, the gold stormtrooper guy and how the characters all stay away from the events of TLJ.

 

Ever flush your toilet only to have the contents therein bubble up into your bathtub? It's grrrreat!

That's not the worst part. Here's the worst part: I had to explain to the property management maintenance guy how the main drain line was clogged, how to access such and that unclogging it required a main line auger machine—none of which he seemed to know anything about. I myself have never used an auger but understood the general principles of what had to be done. So we rented one, and I basically had to go through the steps with aforesaid maintenance guy on both how to operate the thing and effectively clear the drain line.

So that was my Monday.

 

Bubble bath from hell...

 

"What an incredible smell you've discovered!"

 

It's always worse when it's someone else's sewage. Even I hate your neighbors.

 

Oh, it's fine now. Everything working (draining) properly. But I quite literally bleached the s ** t outta my tub.

 

That's no rubber duckie!

 

Though I’m assuming there’s more to the story cause it sounds to me like they just made a mistake.

 

What made it official? It's kind of hard to tell. Oh wait I just got that. we are on a roll.

 

Are you saying this is the #2 thread?

 

Back from Aqua Fit, I'd completely forgot I had it today until 5 minutes before we left for it I think I forgot cause the last few weeks I've been out to the job centre on a Tuesday, but this week I didn't have to, so it threw off my rhythm a bit.

The good news is that I came up with two little details to add to my last chapter, nice little character callbacks. I do still have a couple of loose-ends I want to fit in somewhere, as well making the ending not feel rushed, so I still need to do a re-read later

 

So Boba mightve appeared in Solo in a cameo appearance! Never noticed.

 

C'mon, you gotta tell us the story (as long as it's not too personal or something of course).

 

You know what I want?
