The Current Events Thread

I'm not even gonna bother with them. I was forgiving with 1, 2, and 3, but that was because the whole "4, 5, and 6" thing initially suggested those 3 anyway. A trilogy with 7, 8, and 9 just screams that they're milking the shit out of the franchise.

I figure there are going to be "Bruce-Willis-esque die hard fans" but I sincerely hope that a good chunk of the fanbase sees through this and doesn't flock to go see it.

You are not suggesting that you really believe the original trilogy was released NUMBERED 4, 5, and 6, are you?

if you are I might have to kill you.

I'm allowed my level of ignorance when it comes to things, leave me alone.

Also, 7, 8, and 9 were at least on the board ever since 1, 2, and 3 were announced.

It was the way fans coped with the prequels, since someday we MIGHT have gotten a sequel series worth a daisies.

But whoops, Lucas was too old and didn't want to die in the middle of production because he'd have to hand the series over to someone else.

Instead, let's expand on the CLONE WARS for 7 years.

Isn't Disney working on a new movie based on the Día de los Muertos?
Didn't they just acquire LucasArts?

Anyone else hoping against hope for Grim Fandango the movie?

[wordNumber]

I can't take any of these "milking the franchise" comments seriously considering how much Star Wars shit exists.

There's, like, two MMOs. And way to many things with the word "clones" in the title.

Yeah lucas has been milking it tons, this is just the final nail in the coffin.

Fucking obama It's not like a hurricane just swept through the east co- oh wait

[D-vid]

You know, I really hate people like Donald Trump, using charity cheddar as extortion material. If you wanted to donate a few millions to charity, you would just do it, not tie it to some crazy demands fed by your paranoia that Obama is not american or whatever he thinks this is going to achieve.

[Reyo]

And then in a few years, after the Hurricane Sandy shenanigans have fully blown over, Obama releases his college records and it turns out Trump was wrong as shit, and Obama was just focused on fixing the Hurricane. What follows is the world's biggest attempt at playing dumb by an entire political party as they try to say that never made such demands.

Just wait, this is going to happen. It'll also be the same month Fox News has nothing to report on.

[Madican]

Trump reminds me of a howler monkey. He screams at everything whether he's right or wrong. Also how the hell does he have five million dollars to throw around? The guy is so far in debt it'd take Bill Gates to pull him out, every company he's even run has went under, and he's defaulted on many loans without any intention of ever paying them back.

[Syobon]

Lucas will donate the 4 billion he got for Star Wars to charity.
