I know we're not to mention other companies, but there's been a big stink on the net lately from one of the newer saber companies seem to have tried stealing blade designs from a popular blade maker. long story short, I know it's not the 1st time this happens in the market but I do think the company does lose face trying a stunt on this level.
again, names not mentioned but most of us know who's who.

Jebus.. I choked on my water.
@ Illy,

Apparently you have risen to join me in the ranks of "choking hazard". Grin

that opinions are.. well you know the saying about every one having one,
And no one wants to hear anyone else's.

I hate the new movies * leaves it at that*  but I like Rey.  She is a good role model for young girls, Sassy, powerful, with a bit of snark and not willing to give into any one of sacrifice what she believes in or how she feels.  Like I mentioned before as long as everyone respects each other I have no issues with who likes what.
My issue with Rey is the contradiction. No one that grows up in those conditions, fending for themselves, ends up giving 2 spits about anyone or anything else. In the real world (of a fictional universe) she'd have beaten Tedo's ass, took the droid, and sold him at the drop of a hat, unless she had a better use. She had all the makings of a second Darth Bane.

Is she perfect, no she has glaring flaws but I find more to like than not.
Not looking for an argument, but I am curious as to what you classify as "glaring flaws".

Maybe I missed out on this on another thread but glad it has been brought up.  I watched TLJ in the movie theater (by myself) and kept looking around as if to see if anyone was as disturbed by what was going on as me but no, everyone around me was into it and laughing.  Felt like I had entered the twilight zone.  Went home complained to anybody that would listen to me.  Went online saw some similar reactions to mine and felt somewhat sane again but also saw some people say it gets better the second time.  So rented and watched blu ray with the parents, it was funny to see them react similarly to me, hear my 78 yr old dad bemoan what they had done to the Luke character and rant on how the original trilogies were better than anything since.  Listened to my 81 yr old mom, complain about Rey's origin, Snoke's death, and how ridiculous the Rose and Finn side story was.  And thought yep these are my parents no doubt about it and beamed with pride.
Honestly, this was the only high point of the movie, and the only thing that remotely came close to making sense.



And I thoroughly enjoyed the audience reaction: absolute silence.

I love all of you oddballs, wierdos, and strangers.


Even you Logos.  Grin

LOL - you're so descriptive Jev.  Love it. Smiley

Way to go on the new machine.

Thanks! The only thing left now is the waiting for the inevitable reporting of that post.

Logos, agreed but I don't understand why she kept that quiet or why that was never done before.  Seems like good way to destroy a death star too but maybe I am just overthinking and should have a few beers before watching for the third time...you know like something that smells and you just have to go back and smell it again to confirm.

Didn't feel like posting a whole new thread to ask this, but it is pretty random so I figured why not here?

Does anybody out there know the history of the Covertec clip, basically the entire Covertec system as a whole? In my exhausting Google searches I've found that it appears "Covertec" is a company name, but haven't been able to locate it. I've also found out that it at least appears that the Covertec system exists in the real world as a way of holding phones and such from your belt and within easy reach but I can't tell if this was pre-Star Wars or not. I'm under the impression they started using them in the Prequel trilogy but even then I'm not sure. Care to help a confused Padawan out if you know?  Grin

Oh yeah, the whole "hyperspace missile" was another great "does it break Star Wars?" debate. I think it did, but it is amusing to watch or read people try to defend that it doesn't, considering the massive amount of power displayed.

“You think you know the depths of corruption that plague the Jedi?” Saso hissed. “I’ve seen it, I’ve experienced it, I even embody it. Every breath I take is an affront to their lofty ideals and idle Force worship… and so they seek to exterminate me.” He looked deep into Barriss Offee’s eyes, “they were not successful in purging me from the galaxy, and neither will you be.”

I do believe the covertec was used for cell phones first then Lucas utilized it for the sabers in the prequels.  Much like the Jedi Communicator was a Razor.  I had no issue with using the ship as a missile...Just that it was Holdo...really I just had a problem with Holdo.  It would have been a great way for Leia or even Ackbar to go out.

I think the resolution was if they were sold a copyright lawsuit would have followed and the saber company is underplaying it. everything was pulled from their page even.
