QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 11:53 AM) Although he says "My father HAS it..." His father is dead. Anakin's force ghost was supposedly going to show up in this. Then we all decided no Hayden Christensen.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 26, 2015 -> 10:29 PM) Loved it, don't care what JJ or anyone says, that movie was influenced by the old EU. No doubt in my mind Rey is a Skywalker and I think she is Bens twin. Could be Lukes daughter though, wouldn't surprise me. Edit: just read the age difference on Kylo and Rey, so definitively not twins but still could be siblings But JJ said it might take from the old EU...

Oh boy. This could be pretty ugly.

Mark Jackson still bitter.

Kyrie and Derrick Rose are basically made from the same glass.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 23, 2015 -> 09:22 PM) I was referring to the Danks/Dunn/LaRoche deals. Though they were under $100 million, they still blew up in our faces. I just hope this wouldn't be the same if they did throw that much money at him. None of those deals are remotely like a huge Gordon contract. If the only thing is "deal blew up in their face" look to the Mariners, Rangers, Cubs, Angels, Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, Padres, the list goes on.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 23, 2015 -> 12:50 PM) What happens when Eaton needs a break in CF if Shuck isn't there? Avi Garcia, your time is now.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 23, 2015 -> 12:40 PM) Everyone STFU and watch Straight Outta Compton already. *several months ago* But yeah, Straight Outta Compton was fantastic.

Great stuff from Kim, as usual.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 10:28 AM) Sure they can. To quote the great Jake Taylor, "Just win the whole f***ing thing". Do that 2 or 3 times, then you might steal the city. I feel like it'd have to be 4 or 5 in a row.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 07:26 PM) Yeah, having Maul make it through a couple movies and replacing Dooku would have added a badass factor to the prequels that were missing once Maul was killed. We did get a lot of great Darth Maul characterization in The Clone Wars. Since that remains canon, that's why I'd love to see a death match (that we of course know the outcome) between Darth Maul and Obi-Wan, who have basically lost it all. Also there's a new theory out there that Snoke is Darth Plagueis, which would make him a lot better to me and explain how he has power with the dark side.

Jo has so much more energy lately.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 05:21 PM) Mirotic starting for Snell, and Portis will get minutes per KC Johnson Well this will be interesting.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) The 1080 one isn't orange... I was unaware there was a higher def / not orange one. Thanks Steve, I'll go give it a watch some time.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 03:16 PM) The prequel edit on youtube is so much better because it takes out half of the CGI bulls***. The Phantom Edit would be a lot better if it weren't just so. f***ing. orange.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 02:21 PM) I'm surprised by this. I can't even look at screen shots of that movie without cringing at the costumes/lighting. McGregor was basically the only good part of the prequels. Give me a film on Tatooine where Maul comes to settle the score once and for all.

I want an Obi-Wan film with McGregor back so badly.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Dec 20, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) This is the right take on Kylo Ren. I thought he was great, not every villain has to be an invincible robotic killing machine, and Ren's instability served to make him more frightening anyway, because you weren't quite sure what he'd do. Like the cold-blooded murder of Han. And someone remarked that Ren could barely fight off Finn, but he'd been shot by Chewy and actually took Finn out with ease. Snoke, OTOH, was pretty dumb. Look, a 40-foot-tall hologram with a messed-up face. I almost laughed when they revealed him. I don't think Rey is Luke's daughter, it's just too obvious. Unless we're supposed to think it's so obvious that it throws us off the scent that way, and she's Luke's daughter. Plus, if Kylo Ren kept his mask on we don't get the heart-breaking and gut wrenching moment where Han dies lovingly caressing his son's face. trying to appeal to his humanity in one last moment before he died. Snoke, yeah, not a fan of Snoke's look. Or the name Snoke.

QUOTE (HuskyCaucasian @ Dec 20, 2015 -> 08:22 AM) I really hope Captain Phamsa comes back in E8, otherwise it was a completely waisted character. THey gave the character a unique suit, hired Gwendoline Christie (who never showed her face), then used it as a background part and one "minor" scene. There has to be more coming with that character. Yeah, it's been confirmed. Also Benicio del Toro as a villain? SPECULATE! And for Kylo Ren taking off his mask - Kylo Ren was basically everything Anakin was supposed to be in the prequels. Powerful, confused, torn between good and bad. Had no issues with removing the mask

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 20, 2015 -> 09:43 AM) Sure they hit homers...but not with swing and miss low obp sluggers, fawned over hereon. Sox had players across the board who who could hit. They also played impeccable defense and dumped a slugger at a steep discount to shore up his and other positions. They were 24th in OBP that season at .322. Pods had the highest average at .290, Konerko was the only other was above .280. Counter point was none of the starters were beneath .250 And it wasn't a steep discount - Pods was two years removed from finishing runner up as ROY and swiped 70 bags the previous year.

I'd say Poe is the new Han, Rey is a Luke-Leia hybrid and Finn is supposed to represent someone being freshly inserted into the SW universe.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 19, 2015 -> 05:51 PM) Makes more sense when you consider she likely had some sword training from Luke before. But she didn't even know he was real? QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 19, 2015 -> 05:52 PM) Daisy Ridley loks like a mix of Kiera Knightley and Jorja Fox from CSI Las Vegas. Do the name drops ever end!?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 19, 2015 -> 02:05 PM) Hamill lost a ton of weight for the role fyi. As did Carrie Fisher, but their pre-film weights wouldn't have matched those of a Jedi master and general that are both fairly active.

What?

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 08:29 PM) Nice break down of the FA market https://t.co/tT86crIf2R I'll never understand how De Aza went from a well above average CF to a suddenly dumb baseball player
