Then there's the Games Workshop "model" (I dunno if it's their actual business model, but a lot of people think it's their model, so it works to illustrate the point): the money sunk by converts you hook and convince to buy your product is more than the money you lost by disillusioning your...

It makes sense if you think you can remove all competition and thus induce people to pour money into your venture.

TIE Fighter. So much gold there. I love me some TIE Defender. Especially in LEGO. That's the beauty of Star Wars themed role playing and tabletop miniatures too. Sky is the limit, and so many great adventures where the imagination of the players comes to the fore.

There's a lot to hate. You pretty much have to be an iconoclast to like The Last Jedi, while The Force Awakens is firmly rooted in the whole Hollywood "nostalgia is solid money, so just recast old stories with new actors and change the lines a bit." Which I absolutely despise. I've been...

He also completely lost it in the light saber fight with Vader, culminating in the last series of vicious slices that cut off Vader's hand. Palpatine chuckling at what Luke did, and exhorting Luke to kill Vader, turn dark, and become Palpatine's apprentice is what snapped Luke out of it. If...

Woke doesn't matter if the storytelling is good. The problem is woke people who can't write, or are so thick they need it blatantly spelled out for them.

Oh, I'm sure that will happen, and then, like everything else, there will be another way to get the signal out. Even if it's samizdat. Yes. You want to take a book away from somebody, you have to brute force it. Bust into their place and torch it. Destroying electronic media is a whole lot...

Seen it happen way too many times in real life to think it implausible. She got called on it, big time. She had a mutiny, and then a shootout, and then the leaders of the mutiny absolutely forgiven by the C-in-C while Holdo got to kamikaze. Hell, to fix Holdo's fuckup, they had to pull the...

Webcomics are booming. Yeah, some are woke as hell, and others very retrograde, and everything in between. It's at the point where some, at least, can be full-time cartoonists, making their living off books, merchandise, and Patreons. So pieces of the industry will survive if the big names...

@Captain-General, you sadly missed some good and bad stuff. I loved the Kylo Ren/Rey lightsaber duel with Snoke's guards, though I admit it's a whole lot better remixed to Britney Spears' Toxic. I liked the whole Luke screwing up and trying to slice and dice lil Benny Solo, and that driving...

If you accept that The Last Jedi is iconoclastic, and our heroes - all of them - are fuckups, most of the issues except the hyperspace ass ram go away. Except Phasma, whose really a waste of Gwendoline Christie. She's a cardboard cutout villain. The problem is that many commenters do not want...
