Film & TV / Re: Star Wars Episode 7 and Disney buy Lucas Film

Adrian, slight editorial slip with the first line in the second spoiler, should be Finn instead of Poe. Yeah, that's a lot when you sum them up like that!

Agreeing with a lot of the review posts, Alright to watch, but so much regurgitating of the previous films, a few problems with pacing. The final dogfight didn't feel as tense as A New Hope or Return of the Jedi for me.

Radiator just pipped me in a post about Rey there, how is she so handy with a lightsaber unless she had some training under Luke?

Looking like my most anticipated sci-fi film of next year so far, ahead of a a Denis Villeneuve adaptation of The Story of Your Life.

Eden: It's An Endless World! & No. 5 , two of my favourite manga series I have ever read, they didn't even get finished in English.

Even if you didn't like manga, they were worth a look, the European and American influences on No. 5 make it stand out a million miles from other manga.

'Hokey religions and ancient weapons'

I always wondered about the age difference between Luke and Han - would Han have been old enough to remember the Clone Wars and Jedi everywhere with force powers and lightsabers?

Got a taste of 7 Wonders today, zipped along pretty quick and that game included two of us who had it never played it before.

How many of you played?  There's a (pretty rubbish) two-person variant, but I think it works best with four or five players.

Just three. They have a version for two players now called 7 Wonders: Duel.

Netherlands? Singapore? Bangladesh? Japan? Israel? Don't think the UK as a whole is even in the Top 50 Countries in the Worst Position To Survive a Nuclear War, never mind Britain.  It is however high in the Top 18 Countries Who Could Actively Participate in A Nuclear War.

Wouldn't a nuclear strike on The Netherlands go for the dykes and just submerge the whole country?
