I'm slooooowly warming up to AT-AT In The Mist after initially not taking to it at all (there's probably a level of self-convincing going on, since I'm pretty sure I'm going to wind up buying the Lego set, and I don't want to feel like I'm doing it just for the minifigs) - I feel like it could make quite an impact when we see it in action. (The scout walker, though, just no; I have standards.)
The dreadnought is... okay. I mean from a visual language point of view I kind of like what it (and the whole 'family' of tech) says about the First Order, that they're not here to win the Kuat Yards beauty pageant, they just want a way from getting from A to B and then shooting B with big-ass Exterminatus guns, but my personal preference is still for a bit more class. The Finalizer or whatever it was called managed to retain a certain brutal elegance even as it was obviously going down that path, but this one's just dull.

Re: Upcoming Films
So, do we think Snoke is an alien or just a heavily deformed human?

Re: Upcoming Films
I'm leaning towards heavily deformed human or maybe a very old human.(As in "Was considered middle aged when obi wan was born."
) I hope I'm wrong and he's a alien but I doubt it.

Re: Upcoming Films
Well, at least Andy Serkis would get to play something other than a weird critter for a change.

The Toy set of his lair shows him to be significantly taller than his Praetorian guard.Fuzzy Necromancer wrote:So, do we think Snoke is an alien or just a heavily deformed human?
So he's at least 'Basket Ball' Player height.

Agreed. it would be cool if they had something closer to the sleek awesomeness of the Pellaeon class from Legends.MissKittyFantastico wrote:I'm slooooowly warming up to AT-AT In The Mist after initially not taking to it at all (there's probably a level of self-convincing going on, since I'm pretty sure I'm going to wind up buying the Lego set, and I don't want to feel like I'm doing it just for the minifigs) - I feel like it could make quite an impact when we see it in action.

When it comes to Class, the FO has none. I mean their Supreme Leaders rolls around in a Gold robe....talk about gaudy.

Re: Upcoming Films
It amused me to think of Snoke as teeny tiny, just appearing huge through the holoprojector. But they'll never do it.
