@HobbitGamer - M’eesa wit you’saa. Rogue was my favorite entry since VI. The midiclorians in the practical effects magic started to wane with the remasters, and was just about gone starting with I. So with it went the force of my love, which is when I began to turn to the dark side. I’ll re watch the last two just ahead of this one releasing on disc, and then I’ll look forward to watching IV, V, and VI with my kids some day.

@bimmy-lee Yeah, Dobbie is definitely my least favorite Star Trek character.

It's one helluva trailer if you ask me. Got me right back in the mood. Those Threepio lines... hold me.

Run time is supposedly only 120 mins, FYI, according to Cineworld's listing for it.

My ticket for a 'The Force Awakens - The Last Jedi - The Rise of Skywalker' triple header on 18/12/19 is already marked and locked in.

@NEStalgia - I’m definitely a Wharf the Hutt guy myself.

@gcunit - Oh man, that did slay me. Heck of a space odyssey those two droids have experienced. R2 is the hero of the entire series.

@HobbitGamer @bimmy-lee Yeah I thought I was alone in thinking Rogue One was one of the best Star Wars movies. The effects were great and the thing moved along so briskly.

So, if I just deleted the bit added for mobile version, since that's what I browse on.... ?

@NotTelevision - I loved getting the backstory to set up one of the coolest events in the series. It did move along nicely too. I’d be happy if they actually did leave the main story alone after IX and gave us Rogue One type side stories to fill out the main series.

Gaaaah...!!
I have fallen asleep again without warning.
I lost my drawing time on my PC today, but i have worked for at least 1 hour from my school when i didn't teach the class.
Oh, well... I have to be careful to not get too tired in a day.

The next big family trip in planning.

Mom wants to fulfill her wish of looking at a real aurora borealis, so we are planing on visiting Canada and/or Alaska in winter.

Hopefully it will take shape, although it's kinda scary to go so far away from a Spanish-talking restaurant.

@HobbitGamer Ah, thanks for that. Finally, some more manly stuff. Away with all this sissy modeling stuff and androgynous stick figures.

The only models I want to see are Victoria's Secrets or Playboy Pets. (or those from that other magazine)

@bimmy-lee Guess we'll find out soon enough, more info is bound to come in. I'm already seeing YouTube channels putting the trailer under the microscope and making half hour long analyses from it...

@gcunit I very much share your opinion. Great trailer, good mood creator, so they've set it up pretty nicely, far as I'm concerned.

@BruceCM Well, that and a little bit more. Basically the first part changed to normal, as in: https://youtube.com, and then removing everything that comes after the video id code, which is the bit that says "v=" with a lot of letters and numbers. Any additional command is added with a "&", so delete that and everything after that, so you just end up with the main address and the video code without additional commands.

@StableInvadeel Why? There's nothing wrong with your English, so you'll do just fine, and the Aurora is truly something to behold, so it's VERY much worth any accompanying inconvenience.

@StableInvadeel - I’ve seen Northern Lights very faint in the sky under perfect conditions a few times in IN. Even dim, it was really cool. Can’t imagine how awe inspiring it would be to be way up north in the midst of them though. Great idea for a family trip.

@ThanosReXXX - I sent the trailer to a friend via YT this morning and saw the same thing happening. I can’t think of too many things that have remained a worldwide phenomenon for my entire life. In fact, Star Wars May be the only thing that has stayed relevant for the entirety of my 40 years.

@StableInvadeel I’m pretty sure y’all will freeze. That’s how that works, right? 😜

Are there any new NSO games coming this month? I might of missed it but i haven't heard of any new Nintendo or Super Nintendo games coming for October.

@CurryPowderKeg79 Not that’s been said. But hey, we have SNES now! That’s all people wanted, right? “Enough with NES, give us SNES!”, “This isn’t worth money until there’s SNES”, rabble rabble 😂

Thanks @HobbitGamer i thought maybe i missed an announcement.

@bimmy-lee Indeed. I still vividly remember going to see the first one in the cinema and having my young mind being totally blown away. Now many years later, I've seen (and largely enjoyed) all of them in the cinema, then bought or streamed them, and from the second trilogy, I own three versions, one of which on VHS, in a gold & black Darth Vader-themed box. The box will ultimately more than likely last longer than the tapes themselves, though...

@CurryPowderKeg79 Might "of"?

@HobbitGamer And now that the "SNES on NSO" plan has succeeded, it's time to fan the flames of "N64 on NSO". Nintendo needs to hurry the f... up already. They're SO far behind the times in that regard, that it really isn't even funny anymore.

@ThanosReXXX doesn't make it any less scary though!

@bimmy-lee @HobbitGamer yeah she wants the whole experience, freezing cold and all. Should be fun!

@StableInvadeel Well, it is kind of an alien experience, from what I've been told. A friend of mine likened it to being in a green screen room after the special effects are applied, so you actually experience them while being there, instead of having to imagine them. But it's also magical.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be one heck of an impressive experience, and one that's probably going to stay with you for the rest of your life. Be sure to film it or make pictures when you go, and I'd love to see you post them here afterwards.

@StableInvadeel Cool, going to Canada in Winter? Nice. I CALL DIBS ON HIS NICE WARM HOME IN SUNNY MEXICO!!!

The locks may or may not be changed when you get back, kthxbai.

@ThanosReXXX I dont' even consider SNES delivered until the darned controllers are actually available for purchase. It's NES Mini all over again.
