Yeah I'm completely sold. Made the mistake of reading the comments section on Facebook after watching it, hoping I would see a lot of geek love on there....

and of course it was full of people trashing the movie because it has a strong female lead character. Arguing that since Rey was the lead in TFA, having two movies back to back with female leads was too much.

Ugh, my bad for reading the Facebook comments section to begin with. I think this has the chance to be a very good SW flick, and I love the fact that we are finally stepping away from the Skywalker/Solo family for a bit. I hope this movie is a bit darker, a bit grittier, and full of kick ass non-Force using heroes. 

And for those who have a problem with a strong female lead, my 4 year old daughter (who is now obsessed with Rey) would like to have a few words with you :P

But are we really stepping away from the Skywalker family? Hmmmm

I agree, there is a lot of comfort in the old school designs. It takes us back to our childhood. Of course, the toy makers are going to exploit the poo out of that this coming Christmas. I'm sure I'm going to be shelling out over $200 for a new AT-AT for my .....um.....daughter. That's right, it's a toy for my little girl (Barbie popup camper be damned)

I honestly hope there isn't a single mention of the name Skywalker or Solo in this movie. SW is large enough now to be able to stand on it's own without those two names being involved.

The Expanded Universe fan in me though REALLY hopes that Kyle Katarn will swoop in with his Bryar pistol and save the day. He is the Chuck Norris of the "Legends" universe.

I am so excited as well!  Looks so amazing, visually.  They are having fun making the films.  A little bit of melodrama is perfectly acceptable in the Star Wars universe!

I don't read many comments because most people are stupid.  "I don't like female leads" person probably has a hard drive full of celeb nudes....

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By TD alt · Posted

      I don't believe it's as easy as saying that anyone believes that Rico had the 10th best day on offense. Grades are done in a vacuum inasmuch as they can be. By their very nature, skill positions are always going to account for more "production" in reference to stats, and RBs perhaps even more than WRs because they touch the ball more. You can't look at PFF's grading system, or any football grading/grading system (like perhaps Football Outsiders or Next Gen Stats), so simplistically. If a player has an excellent day, relative to his position, relative to his assignments, and relative to his number of snaps, then he should be graded highly. It's up to the reader (or the analyst, if you will) to put what you're seeing into context, and that's not only in relation to the grades, but the general situation (like whether a player is playing injured, who they're playing with or against---the general situation). Even the fact that (presumably) PFF or news outlets put out a list of the highest and lowest grades, that doesn't mean that said players were the most impactful of the day, it just means that they did or didn't do their job the best, based upon a certain set of parameters. PFF is a part of life for football analysts, talking heads, execs, coaches, players, and even fans (even if indirectly), all to varying degrees. It is a tool that is used by all 32 teams. Obviously it's not viewed so dismissively by franchises as a whole. Execs obviously don't look at it as a bunch of bozos making sh¡t up on the fly. Fans can berate it or swear by it, but it isn't going anywhere.  The only thing that I can tell you is that perspective and context matters.

      Im not big in to PFF but their guys were raving about his blocking along with our other skill players in the run game. https://youtu.be/D4kL_N97cFQ?si=sJWSZCUA1bj5otyx
