Kuetsar Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Have to add in a shout out to the Castle of Lions from Voltron as well.

RIPPA Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Reports are that Zoe Kravitz, Naomi Scott and Tessa Thompson are the short list for the female lead in the Han Solo movie All 3 have read for the part Donald Glover remains "in the lead" to play Lando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm getting too much of a CW vibe from this young Han Solo movie, but I'm fully on board with Donald Glover as Lando. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 19 hours ago, Craig H said: Yeah, but compared to Castle Greyskull, it was the shit. The Ghostbusters HQ is still the best. Ghostbusters HQ > GI Joe HQ > Death Star > Castle Greyskull. And while not a "base," I had fond memories of the Millennium Falcon. Where do you stand on Snake Mountain?

Craig H Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I forgot about that. I vaguely remember it. I may or may not have had it. The M.A.S.K. Boulder Hill base is another I had that I have fond memories of. Looking back at all of these makes me think that toys were way fucking cooler when we were kids. Now toys are more expensive and not nearly as cool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome Miller Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Yeah, but now we get all sorts of creepy fandom to compensate, like "Bionicle/Harry Potter dubious consent slash fics" and shit. God, toys really were much better back in the 1980s. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome Miller Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 True story: When "Return of the Jedi" came out, my friends and I were all big fans of Danger Mouse and in that show Colonel K always used the British slang term 'boffin' to refer to scientists, so when "Jedi" came out we all assumed that Mon Mothma had said "boffin" not "Bothan" and thought she meant a bunch of scientists had stolen the plans for the second Death Star. With the EU being declared non-canon, and Shadows of the Empire revealing that Bothans are blue skinned aliens, we still don't know what the hell a Bothan is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 How bad is it that I'm WAAAY more hyped for Rogue One than Episode VIII? Mostly because it looks like the guys doing Rogue One payed more care to the overall story than Episode VII's hamfisted setup to do a love letter to Episode IV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
