    Goats Cheese :D

    I think what woke me laughing was the realisation that Doc Brown was so preoccupied with the robots he didn't realise he was in another universe :D

    Cool dream, I had a one once too.
    I was looking through tinted googles, slaying all the minions before me with my lightsabre as I spouted nonsense about kneeling to the power of the Empire and dark side. Yeah, good times, that was an event day.

    Had a dream last night about the new Star Wars movies. The Force Awakens opened with Han, Chewie, Luke & Doc Brown travelling back in time in the Millennium Falcon (it had a flux capacitor as a new mod) and arriving on Naboo around the time of the prequels. They met Jar Jar and Chewie pulled his arms off for reasons I'm not quite sure of. They met Padme too and Han kept hitting on her just to annoy Luke, saying things like "You're Mom is pretty hot farmboy, if I wasn't already with your sister I might have a chance, from a princess to the queen eh?"

    Also Doc Brown found a way to disable the entire Trade Federation Army.

    I woke up laughing :D

    Really? You can't think of any reasons?

    I think it's pretty clear to everyone what the reason is:
    Jar Jar beat Chewie in a game of Holochess

    They had an argument over who was the best Star Trek captain, and Jar Jar picked "duchess" Archer?

    Very nicely done, but a pity those aren't the new split-engines and pointier noses.

    Trying to avoid any spoilers here. I'm still angry at the Daily Mirror for giving away how Anakin became Darth Vader and ended up all half machine :)

    Any word on a new trailer?

    He crashed a plane near LA onto a golf course.

    The only specifics I've read are they he had non life threatening injuries and walked out of the wreck with some bad gashes and maybe a few broken bones, but the headlines are saying he's in a critical condition, so it's hard to know.

    Abrams' Falcon was "borrowed" by Ford and he crashed it onto a golf course.

    Especially when they're about to appear in next Star Wars film.

    God damn it I could handle the double-ended light sabre wielded by Darth Maul but this new one with the pointless little side blades is just stupid and unnecessary. I skeptical about the whole project now! I'm not the only one apparently!

    People said the same thing about Maul's saber.

    It's kind of idiotic to attribute practical feasability to a weightless laser sword in the first place. If they were real they'd all be lethal to the user.

    I always subscribed to the notion that it took a Jedi, with their force awareness, to wield them safely. And we don't yet know how the new saber will work seen as the movie isn't out yet. And to write off the whole project based on this is nonsense.

    Great idea for a channel.

    This sounds so much like him. Even the phrasing. It's uncanny. And the laugh/chuckle! Lucas is always good humoured in commentaries.

    Someone has compiled a list of characters who will appear in the new Star Wars movie.

    http://makingstarwars.net/2015/04/star-wars-the-force-awakens-complete-character-list/

    Interesting to see a 'Young Luke Skywalker (Flashback)'. I really hope a new trailer will be shown in the coming days... :D

    He looks like some sort of giant bear-man next to the others.

    It's not a Star Wars trilogy until one ship flies inside a bigger ship.

    EDIT: Decided to spoiler it, just in case people are holding off on watching it. Not much spoiler material in there to be honest, at least in my opinion.

    When I saw Han and Chewie I didn't realise I have that many hairs on the back of my neck! Fantastic stuff. Not sure that I want to see much more than that but it's going to be so hard not to watch the next one.

    is the implication that the girl
    thats being handed the lightsaber related to Luke (Leia's kid)?

    Cause I'm getting a fair whiff of herring from it.
