CGI [spoiler]Leia[/spoiler] looked like she was on speed, which is at least accurate, if you've read her biography!  :o

Games / Tanglewood: Megadrive Kickstarter game.

Not usually one to promote such things, but this looks like a worthwhile endeavour.

An experienced coder who has assembled some formidable talent, besides himself, from Ocean Sofrware, from back in the day.

Anyone who loves a bit of retro gaming and loves their Megadrive as much as I do, should consider backing the project.

Hurry though, only just over 24 hours to go before the project's time is up and currently on 96% funded!

Just read #3

Yes, yes, it's brash, loud, doesn't really make a lick of sense, but it is a lot of mindless fun!

It's also an enjoyably easy read and the art is still lovely to mine eyes!

So yeah, chalk that up as a recommendation!

Looks like there's going to be the mother of all bust up in the last issue, as everyone's headed Meg-side!  :D

My main issue with the film is we know the outcome, which negates a lot of the drama-it was the same issue that plagued the prequels

That should never really be an issue or an excuse since - unlike the Prequels - we have no familiarity with the main characters or their fate.

We know the Titanic will sink; the outcome of Vietnam, both World Wars and historical wars in general, yet films based around them have never suffered dramatically from foreknowledge. No reason this shouldn't apply to a Star Wars film.

Well considering none of the characters in this prequel are ever mentioned of again in successive Star Wars movies, it's a pretty forgone conclusion to their fate, I'd argue this renders the drama rather inert.

That's not to say I didn't enjoy aspects of it.

In fact, it was the quieter moments and world building I enjoyed more, rather than the, at times repetitive and somewhat tedious battle sequences.

It did look visually beautiful at times too!

My main issue with the film is we know the outcome, which negates a lot of the drama-it was the same issue that plagued the prequels, but at least in Rogue One the characters appear more human and convincing in their motivations!

[spoiler][spoiler]Kill crazy Vader at the end was a delight though![/spoiler][/spoiler]

Worth a tenner though and the 3D was fairly good after the appalling job on Star Trek Beyond-which rendered everything a murky indistinguishable mess.

Can't say I was convinced by the CGI cameos though.

The only thing bad is music.

Yeah, the score was unmemorable.

By all accounts it was a rush job and it shows in the final result.
