martinmauger 584 Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) No, I have't been at the Chrimbo egg-nog already; that starts tomorrow. I hit the flicks and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, sees our heroes searching for someone to help them give the bad guys another kicking (no spoilers but it's actually to stop the bad guys wiping them out) when they travel to an up-market casino-planet where gambling is the thing and betting on the old space gee-gees is the way. Some action shows said space gee-gees racing around a oval huge track, maybe half a mile long, of loose surface with at least one enormously banked corner which woud be turns 3 & 4 as races were run clockwise. Can't say I noticed turns '1 & 2', but it looked one heck of a track. Meantime "just jump into an X-Wing and blow stuff up", and you all thought I'd just say May The Force Be With You.....

steve roberts 9,242 Posted December 23, 2017 I think that I am only the one at my place of work who isn't interested in the 'Star Wars' franchise...same goes for the 'Harry Potter' films...and I find it bizarre that there's not one but three Harry Potter shops in the ;Shambles' in York!

martinmauger 584 Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) So TWK, where do your loyaties lie: with the Rebellian (not the Somerset version) / Resistance or with the Empire / First Order, Light or Dark Side of the Force ?. Always loved Star Wars, don't mind Star Trek & Indiana Jones, Harry Potter is really for kids I but can't get into Lord Of the Rings. I'm told by Sci-Fi / Fantasy fans, more serious than I they are (!), that the arguments on the Star Trek forums have to be read to be believed. Still, wouldn't life be boring if we all liked everything ?... Edited December 23, 2017 by martinmauger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
