  1. In Attack of the Clones, he is that bad. In Revenge of the Sith, he's awesome.
  2. Hello! Today, I will do a deluxe list of Star Wars. First off, all the films are good in some way. Just some are more weird than others. 8. Attack of the Clones A lot of fans think that The Phantom Menace is the worst one, but this is not true. The second episode just is terrible. The script is very poorly written, acting feels forced, and Hayden Christensen........GAG. Also, I think less Jar Jar is worse. At least in the first one, you can ignore him. Gosh. But in retrospect, I do like the final battle on Geonosis. The clones are definitely the best part about this movie. 7. The Phantom Menace Okay, yes, this is the next one. But I enjoy this one more than Attack of the Clones. Jar Jar is still horrible to endure, but as I said, you can ignore him. But Jake Lloyd's acting just makes me cringe the whole time. He's so annoying. I didn't appreciate the C-3PO thing either. He's great as comic relief, but as a cameo, no. The best part of this movie is, hands down, the Duel of the Fates. The lightsaber duels are amazing, and the music is equally intense. It's awesome. 6. A New Hope Please don't kill me. Yes, there's probably a fair amount of people that love this one. I do too. It's just that on my "Enjoy-o-meter", it doesn't click as much as the other ones do. Yes, I love the nostalgic feel. Yes, I love the humor. Yes, I love the action. It's just....gah, I can't explain. Hopefully you guys understand. It's still a great movie. 5. The Force Awakens Okay, the new episode is very enjoyable. But my main problem is that it feels like a remake of A New Hope. It feels like we've seen this before, and I don't want it to be that. But I love the acting. Harrison Ford is awesome as ever. Anthony Daniels is hilarious. Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson. They're fantastic. And Daisy Ridley. Whoo. I am not ashamed to admit that she's probably my celebrity crush, besides Jenna Coleman. But the acting is the main reason I love this movie. 4. Return of the Jedi From this point on, it was very difficult to place the remaining films. These next ones are all stupendously amazing and I felt bad wherever I placed them. But alas, it must be done. The final installment of the original trilogy delivers everything we hope for. Luke facing his destiny, Leia in a bikini, Han getting rescued, Lando flying the Millennium Falcon into battle, and Darth Vader restoring balance. This movie definitely triggers my tears of joy. 3. Rogue One I was very eager to watch this film, as it would return to the era of the original trilogy. I love the way they introduce characters, and use them in a way where they don't require that much character development. It is very well done. After I watched it, I had two disappointments. First, there is some much footage in the trailers that are not in the movie. It feels like there was a different cut or something. Second was CGI Leia. That unnerved me. CGI Tarkin was awesome. I love Tarkin. But, CGI Leia looked and felt and sounded fake. Nevertheless, it's a great movie. 2. Revenge of the Sith This obviously is the best film of the prequel trilogy. I love everything about this one, except some of the script. I think Hayden Christensen's acting improved immensely in this one. He accurately portrays a young man torn about what he should believe in. Ewan McGregor is awesome, as always. Other than the script, this is great. 1. The Empire Strikes Back Okay, a lot of you probably saw this coming, but this movie is literally flawless in my opinion. Anyone is welcome to challenge me on that, but I stand firm. I just really believe that this is an outstanding movie. So there it is. I just hope The Last Jedi and the Han Solo movie will be as great as they look.
  3. It was a quiet evening at the Jasmine Dragon. There were very few customers. And for once, Iroh had time to go out to look at the sunset. He sighed deeply. Ah, nephew, he thought. I hope you are watching this. The tranquility was soon broken unfortunately. A messenger came up, bearing the royal crest of the Earth King. Iroh smiled at the man. "Welcome to the Jasmine Dragon. What can I do for you?" The man held out a scroll. "This is an urgent message," the messenger answered. "Please read it immediately." Iroh nodded thanks, taking the scroll. "Would you like a cup of tea before leaving?" he asked. "Free of charge." The messenger opened his mouth, then hesitated. He did like tea. "I thank you for your generosity." he said, bowing to Iroh. "I would love a cup of tea." Iroh beckoned him inside.

  5. Edgedancer is suggested to be read before Oathbringer, as it fixes a continuity error. But it's no big deal if you can't read it immediately. But I would read Edgedancer first. Welcome to the Shard!
  6. @Steeldancer any suggestions on what I should review next?
  7. Dang. I guess Shattered entered the fray at the wrong time then.
  8. I've never been a huge Trekkie. I've always been more of a Star Wars kid. But recently, I had time to watch all of the Star Trek movies, and I've started The Next Generation. So this is my first deluxe rank list, where I rank the movie and give a couple of thoughts. Let's do it! 13. Star Trek: Nemesis Okay, if obviously, if you've seen this movie, you understand why it's at the bottom. Not only was the plot bland and stupid, the characters didn't really stick like they had anymore. The only thing I found remotely interesting was Data, but even that's a stretch. However, this movie does show us Tom Hardy, this movie being one of the first films he did. He's a terrific actor. 12. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier So there's a thing Trekkies like to call the curse, which is that the even films(2, 4, 6, etc) tend to be better than the odd. It stayed true to that, until Nemesis which was the tenth film. This movie definitely fits under the category of LAME. Not only was this movie tasteless, it had none of the charm Star Trek possesses. It's too campy, and every character is wasted. 11. Star Trek: The Motion Picture This movie is a pain to watch. First off, it doesn't feel even remotely like a Star Trek movie. Second, it's SO BORING. About half of the movie comprises of shots of the Enterprise or shots of some random crap, and no dialogue to fill the spaces. Also, what's with the Starfleet uniforms? They're all bland shades of tan, grey, or beige. It's disgusting. 10. Star Trek: Insurrection This movie would be okay if it didn't suffer from the same problem as The Motion Picture. Too slow, plot is bland, characters no longer interesting. 9. Star Trek Generations It's pretty disappointing that all of The Next Generation films are weird, except one of them. But Generations at least gives us enough to make it more interesting. I would've liked the movie more if DeForest Kelley was in it, but nope. Since the plot is saved by having Kirk, Scotty, and Chekov in it, this movie is the start of the movies that are actually good. 8. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock Despite being an odd number, this movie is actually pretty good, even though it seems like a filler episode to keep people excited for The Voyage Home. David Marcus' death isn't particularly sad until the end of the movie. When it actually happens, you're just kind of like, "Wait, what just happened?" Also, casting Christopher Lloyd as the villain was super distracting, because he does not sound at all like what a Klingon should be. 7. Star Trek Into Darkness Before anyone starts bringing out torches and pitchforks, let me explain. This movie is The Wrath of Khan for a new generation. Yes, it has good moments, but once you see The Wrath of Khan, it feels like a cheesy rehash. Kirk's death scene isn't even sad after you see him later after 20 minutes. This movie does not do Star Trek justice. Also, that scene, you know what I'm talking about, just distracted me from the whole rest of the movie. 6. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home This movie is hilarious. To see the crew of the Enterprise stumbling their way through 1980's San Francisco was just wonderful. I have to say my favorite 80's moment was either Spock knocking out that punk, or McCoy in the hospital. The plot is refreshing, the characters lovable, and the ending is awesome. 5. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Yes, now we're in the top 5. The Wrath of Khan is 5 on my list solely because of a grievous continuity error. Chekov never met Khan before, therefore shouldn't recognize each other. Khan made his appearance in the first season of The Original Series, but not Chekov. Walter Koenig joined the crew for its second and third. This bothers me a lot. 4. Star Trek The first "reboot" movie is up. This movie is awesome. The characters are spectacular, the plot, the villain, everything, There is literally nothing negative I have to say. 3. Star Trek: First Contact This movie is obviously the best of The Next Generation movies, and has a deep moral in the sense that everything has a right to live. Every character in here is placed right where they should be and it's awesome. 2. Star Trek Beyond I love this movie for the fact that it feels like a classic movie. This is finally where the new crew feels like the old crew, and that's fantastic. 1. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Surprised? Maybe. But this one is number one because of the message of peace that it sends. It reflects so much about what the countries of the world are doing today. My only complaint about this movie is that in the final shot, Sulu should have been in his seat. There you guys go. You're welcome.
  9. ACDC is the best, y'all! (Blazing intro) Oh woah woah woaah Oh woah woah woaah Oh woah woah woaah Oh woah woah woaah (Thunder!) Oh woah woah woaah (Thunder!) Thunder! Thunder! I was caught, in the middle of a rebel trap! I looked around, and I knew there was no turning back! My mind raced, and I thought “What should I do?” And I knew, there was no help, no help from you! Inquisitors of steel! Beating me to the feel! The thunder of runs! Tore me apart! I’ve been, THUNDERSTRUCK! Rode down to Hathsin, broke the limit, I hit the chains! Went down to pits, yeah pits, and got some scars! Grabbing some atium, gave house lords power and fame! I broke all the rules, I played them like fools! Yeah, yeah, I, I, I blew their minds! And I was shaking at the knees! Soul rent apart! Yeah them beaters were too kind! They were, THUNDERSTRUCK! I was shaking at the knees! Snapping all the way! Thunderstruck, thunderstruck, thunderstruck, thunderstruck It’s alright, we’re doing fine. It’s alright we’re doing fine, fine, fine Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah Thunderstruck, thunderstruck! Thunderstruck, baby, baby Thunderstruck, I’ve been thunderstruck Thunderstruck, thunderstruck I’ve been Thunderstruck.
  10. Well, I guess you Snap now by breaking a toy or something.
  11. We're a Ferring!............ That sounds really anti-climatic.
  12. Many happy returns, gon. Another year closer to death.

  13. I cannot imagine Kelsier with blond hair, neither can I imagine Breeze as chubby. I've always imagined him as a Tom Hiddleston kind of guy.
  14. WHAT IS HAPPENING????
  15. Okay, Blade Runner. As per to @Toaster Retribution's request. Blade Runner, first off, stars Harrison Ford, who not only is awesome in this movie, but just a great actor in general. It's also directed by Ridley Scott, who did The Martian and Gladiator, among others. But, dang. Blade Runner is an awesome movie. It has deep characters, as well as a terrific plot. But it does, at times, feel slower than it should be. Harrison Ford's character, Rick Deckard, is a cop who discovers a rebellion of the Replicants. The Replicants are robots who are human like but are not treated as such. This makes the story complex, giving Deckard a conscience of what he is doing and what consequences might arise. Rutger Hauer shines as Roy Batty, who is the main antagonist with beautiful monologues(Ex. tears in rain). He leads the Replicant rebellion, kills his creator, but in the end changes. In the climax, as Deckard hunts down the Replicants, he then is pursued by Batty. Deckard falls but is saved, by Batty. Batty tells him about the sights he has seen, but that they are gone. Then he dies. His drive was to find a way to extend his lifespan, but when he realized this was not to be, he accepted the inevitable. Another metaphor I really like in this movie is the origami unicorn, which is central to the main message of the film. The other best thing about the movie is the music. Composed by Vangelis, who also did Chariots of Fire, it sets the tone perfectly for this neo-noir film. Now there's a sequel. I wish I could see it now, but I'll have to wait. Critics have been very positive about it. To see a sequel to this just deepens the story. I have seen the three short films that precede the sequel however, and they are sweet. Blade Runner is a cult classic that will always be great.
  16. @Ysondra It's Robert not Jorbert but cool article!
  17. Hello, fellow Sharders. This is for me, Bayle of Captains Domon. Sorry it took so long. 1. Provide a picture (if you are comfortable with that). Rodel will post one if he does it. 2. Provide your real name (if you are comfortable with that). Nope. 3. Which book is your favorite and why? I like the Stormlight Archive for their size, their depth, and how big they are. 4. What have been your main contributions to the community? What are you known for? Mainly the dual personality. 5. What made you join the forum? Peer pressure 6. How many hours do you spend on the shard on a given day? Not enough 7. Describe your fondest Forum experience. I can't choose one. 8. What is one thing that Brandon does really well? Magic systems. I love the magic systems and their simplicity. 9. What is one thing that he could work on? Giving me all the books at once. 10. Which fictional character is the best representation of yourself? I would choose Dalinar, but I'll go with Breeze, because I'm lazy and have people do things for me. (For example, Rodel is typing and I'm giving him answers.) 11. Any additional comments, whether it be about your life outside of the forum, favorite food, your website, or...anything! I really like the online game Town of Salem. Also, Fanta is amazing. My vote for next person goes to either Rodel of @Captains Domon or @FeatherWriter.
  18. He also loses his coat. Pretty sad.
  19. Let's go with Blade Runner. Coming soon!
  20. "Tell me, do YOU want your name spelled wrong in the acknowledgments every time?"
  21. Hey, if there's a movie somebody would like for me to review, please notify me, cause...........my mind has gone blank. So feel free to do so!
  22. I think the traitor maybe Adolin, because he killed Sadeas. Even though everyone hates Sadeas, Dalinar will not let that slide. Also, Adolin as traitor would just be interesting. (or traitor=Jasnah, maybe because she betrays religion?)
