Loved Empire but voted Rogue One as it's still the only film Disney have made that I've actually watched a few times after it left the cinema. As someone above said, the scene at the end of Rogue One of Vaders murderous mayhem is 25 seconds of pure joy. In my "Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy DDP team I've added Rian Johnson this year... more in hope than actually thinking he'll be a hit, after what he did with The Last Jedi. RoS was surprisingly not as shit as I thought it would be. Good nods to nostalgia and the original trilogy which probably bought the support of many my age lol!

But not the worst for all us!

Well nobody can say he's gone to a better place

Deluded fool thinks he's going to win a belt too. Think he might have got boxing confused with Karate.

Not sure he's ready to go just yet. He's getting frail in his old age but still quite active on the fan circuit. He's in Episode VIII and I sort of understand the reasoning behind not being in the Solo movie as it's set in younger days which implies there will be a more physical aspect to filming. He aint gonna be doing much running on that dodgy knee of his!

Star Wars 40th birthday!!!

That's not Prowse. It's Bob Anderson who wore the suits for stunt work. This is Prowse unmasked

Carrie Fisher had always stated her amusement at calling Prowse - Darth Farmer during filming. Prowse always moaned Lucas was covering up a monumental mistake of not casting anyone black in the main roles with his inclusion of James Earl Jones... fact of the matter is Prowse's voice was just not up to the job of lord of the sith and action needed to be taken.

I love the idea of a MotD "goal of the month" style vote on deaths! Just a shame the Lightening Seeds background music wasn't playing while voting!

But why trial a load of nonsense in the first place?

Leave kids alone. If they're gay, lesbian, trans... let them sort it out when they've matured.

Come on Atlanta!! As a Broncos fan it was obviously a case of "anyone but the Patriots" given most of my NFL supporting friends picked New England because:- a - They have "England" in the name b - They do well every season! (bit like when I was a kid in the 80's and ALL my mates were Liverpool fans when we lived in South Yorkshire!) Starts about 2:30 in the morning out here so Monday morning booked off work! (considering i'm up at 05:30 for a 06:30 start, it was a no brainer!) Surprisingly enjoyed it this year without having the stresses of the Broncos progress and wondering it were were going to have another embarrassing superbowl capitulation in SB50! Either way, should be a good game

How do! I'm Mike, long time lurker on here. Exiled Yorkshireman, left the UK in 2007 to work in Germany with an aim to buy a Porsche. Unfortunately, once I'd got enough money to buy said German sports car, I met a girl, got married, had kids and now i've no money or a Porsche... but at least by being born in Germany my kids qualify to play for Deustchland when they grow up! Left Germany in 2015, now working and residing in Cyprus living the dream... and the dream is bloody cold this time of year and less rewarding thanks to that bloody referendum thing last year decimating the exchange rate! I'm a Star Wars fan hence my theme team in DDP, I try to like English football but given I'm a Sheffield Wednesday fan it doesn't work out that way often so I tend to look forward to NFL time and follow the Broncos (used to go to at least one game a year to watch them... but marriage and kids put pay to that!) Anyway, that's me. I'll try not to bother or offend anyone while here...

We have RAF Marham 5 miles up the road and the USAF Bases at Mildenhall and Feltwell within range. No extra activity up here at all. Nothing out of the ordinary around RAF Akrotiri. When that Russian aircraft carrier sailed past a couple of months ago things went ape!

Unfortunately our company "diversity and inclusion" manager is now using a desk in our office while her husband is deployed out here. I was discussing the reports that teachers are being advised not to call pupils "boys and girls" that hit the headlines last year, with a colleague and she interrupted and had her ten pence worth with how its correct and allows children to develop with no bias?? Grips my shit. Leave the kids alone, they can work out their own lives when they're older. When they're children they're boys and girls for gods sake. The bitch also reported me for having a conversation (again with a colleague, not her) for saying while we were on a walk round the mountain one weekend, a bug landed on my 6 year old boys arm and he "screamed like a girl" Apparently this is derogatory to females... even though she was the only female in the room, sat several banks of desks away and wasn't part of the conversation and in fact, his high pitched shriek sounded like it came from a girl!! Rant over.

Rogue One restored a bit of my faith in big screen episodes. Finally got the Vader scene I'd imagined would be in the prequels when they were announced mid 90's. Last few minutes best in the entire franchise for me. Don't let previous disappointments or the Disney milking get in the way of seeing a very good addition to the Star Was story. I'm still not getting excited just yet about The Last Jedi though.... although the addition of more names to be cherry picked for my Star Wars theme team is always welcome.

Miguel Ferrer former Robocop baddie and recently member of NCIS dies. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/2659843/twin-peaks-and-ncis-los-angeles-actor-miguel-ferrer-dies-aged-62-following-cancer-battle/ (edit, now found mentioned in a lower thread. Apologies)

No longer doubtful - Times Obit: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/obituaries/article4722566.ece An inquest into the death of Drewe Henley has heard that he choked to death while eating a fish pie. Shame for the DDP team who picked him, as unnatural death points cannot be awarded retrospectively. http://m.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/star-wars-actor-dies-at-rd-e-after-choking-on-his-lunch/story-30055802-detail/story.html Dammit! Bonus points would have been nice! Still, best year Wretched Hive had with 3 hits.
