Star Wars VII-IX, what do you think?

[Buster's Uncle]

It sounds/looks awesome.

I'll admit to watching a lot of Scott Manley tutorials about it.

'Star Wars' Anakin Skywalker Arrested After Crazy Car Chase
6/21/2015 8:03 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF


EXCLUSIVE




Jake Lloyd, the actor who played the young Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace," was arrested, TMZ has learned, after an insane car chase that ended when Jake plowed into some trees.

Cops say Lloyd was driving in Charleston, South Carolina, when Sheriff's deputies began pursuing him.  The chase was underway and it went on for miles, into another county. 

Deputies say Jake began passing cars on the double yellow line and began driving recklessly, at high speeds.

Cops say eventually Jake lost control of his car, which ran off the road, through a fence and into a wooded area where it struck several trees.

The 26-year-old who also starred in "Jingle All the Way" was arrested for reckless driving, failure to stop, resisting arrest and driving without a license.

He's currently in custody.

Does it occur to anyone else that he grew up to actually look more like Darth Skywalker should than the prettyboy they mistakenly used?  Not the scowl and the sinister little whiskers, either, but hella-lot more like he could grow up to be Luke's dad, and, provided good grooming and a smile, potentially a FAR more convincing hero that Cristiansen's brooding punk?

I merely read them. No emotion comes into play.

I saw, UnO's got some big rockets...

Would be curious as to the learning curve of that game when I get a 'round tuit

Depends on what yer doin, I think.  Haven't tried the actual tutorial in game in ages, but you can install mechjeb (mod) to make it REALLY easy to fly. 

I have never gotten a plane to work, but rockets are fairly simple to do, but difficult to do efficiently. 

Launching to orbit should be easily grasped. 
Landing on the mun can get tricky. 
Obtaining a specific orbit requires an understanding of the mechanics involved.
Docking with a space station can require serious skills and patience.

Yeah, I thought that as soon as I saw the pic before reading your post.

I never understood why geeks hate him so - what was wrong with that movie, including his casting, was not his fault.  LUCAS decided to start way too young.  He just showed up and said his lines...

[Buster's Uncle]

Well, this here's a lot more Darth and less Skywalker...



Still a better look for halfway through Return of the Sith and on.  -And still looks a lot more like he could be Luke's dad...

[Buster's Uncle]

Or Luke's son, come to think of it...

[Geo]

Give him a role on parole, and he might get reduction of his penalty.

[Buster's Uncle]

If there's a Luke's son part, he obviously seems to be going through some personal problems, but seriously, I'd have a look at him - it'd be great stunt casting if he can act and no addiction issues looked likely to cause problems.
