No, only saw the movie, but I have read many of Ursula K. Le Guin's books. She is the author credited with coining the word almost two decades before the first version of Ender's Game was written, and the idea of instantaneous communication in sci-fi is even older.

Technically, this is excellent. The fight choreography, the composition of Alec Guinness’s face, the sound editing... its “impressive, most impressive”.

But it wouldn’t feel right in the original movie at all.

It doesn’t have to be quite as “old man vs quad amputee” slow as the original, but this is taking it too far I feel.

Also the “now you will die” is terrible

This holds the Guinness World Record for the most repeated programme ever, some background about it here. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2018/dec/30/dinner-for-one-german-television-new-years-eve

As a child, we found Guinness World Records something interesting.
Today, I find most of these records very trivial.
I feel like anyone can get a Guinness World Record - all you need to do is invent something measurable and do it first.

I will say, though, that for what pretty much amounts to an ad for the stuff, the pours are terrible. As an Irish Guinness drinker what he did to that poor pint around 2:57 made me physically wince.

Now even Guinness is pulling all of Roger's records. Ouch.

I honestly don't know about Lucas.

He COULD be a Tolkien-esque visionary... or he could have taken a bunch of pre-existing elements (Kurosawa, Flash Gordon, the Dam Busters) and meshed them together and lucked out with an insanely talented group of people.

I don't want to write him off (I spent 20 years idolizing him from childhood to when I finally admitted how bad the prequels were).

But I also can't ignore the argument that much of what I love about Star Wars comes not from Lucas, but from Ralph McQuarrie's art, Ben Burtt's sound, John Williams' soundtrack (with a massive nod to Holst as well), Lawrence Kasdan's dialogue and the performances of Ford, Guinness and James Earl Jones.

I've seen Guinness in plenty of other movies (Bridge on the River Kwai is prob his best IMO), but I grew up watching Star Wars as a kid and whenever I hear him speak, I hear Kenobi.

I was, to my infinite surprise, real.
Guinness just certified it.


"Franky Zapata, the French jet ski champion who invented the Flyboard Air, has set a new Guinness World Record for the farthest hoverboard flight. Zapata achieved the feat Saturday morning off the coast of Sausset-les-Pins in the south of France, riding his Flyboard Air hoverboard for a distance of more than 2,252 meters (7,388) feet). That far surpasses the previous record of 275.9 meters (905 feet, 2 inches), set last year by Canadian inventor Catalin Alexandru Duru."

i bought a bag a few years ago and they were quite remarkable. For me lemons were sweet, malt vinegar became sweet like balsamic and most striking of all it mellowed guinness out to be a very smooth drink.

Man, Guinness scored a pretty nice hourly wage acting a ghost.

Um...you mean like this.....
