USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

If you guys are going to start commenting on audience numbers, it makes it even more bizarre that you'd write out Heir to the Empire's New York Times #1 Bestseller list (that knocked down John Grisham at the time) and the other bestselling books just because they happen to be novels.

You discount novels because they're novels even though they were widely read. Then when film/tv is brought up to you, you discount them because you feel they weren't as widely viewed.

Just choose your points and stick with them.

If books were so meaningless, no one would have watched Fellowship of the Ring when it premiered. Everyone would have been confused on who Bilbo was and who Sauron was. Ignoring the massive SW literary audience to suit arguments flies in the face of reality (as seen in my LOTR example).

I'm saying the majority of people who watch the movies don't give a shit about the books, both LOTR and Star Wars, and Harry Potter for that matter.

All they care about is that it's epic, exciting and fun.
 
Boonta Eve comes from Droids, though in that series Boonta Eve was a landspeeder race and not a Podrace and I don't think the animated race was held on Tatooine.

On that note, those same people don't care about how long ago the last movie came out (which was your whole point that Star Wars needed "saving" because of lack of films). They just care about it being epic, exciting, and fun. A full decade came out between Men in Black movies.
 
I'm saying the Star Wars fan base is inherently more childish and more willing to burn their own house down in a fit.

There.

Everyone's experience is different, but I've been on theforce.net forums for 15 years and on this for less than 2. I've had to block more people on this Trek forum for their behavior than I ever did on 15 years of theforce.net posters (of which only 1 was blocked).

To say I've found Trek fandom more childish than SW's is an understatement. I understand the media amplifies bad characters to their own degree, but I can only speak for my own experience.
 
I didn’t realize this was a thread about Star Wars. I thought it was about the Enterprise in DSC. What a totally misleading thread title.

After 618 pages, thread drift sometimes happens. Not like we aren't to the point of reposting our thoughts on the Enterprise. :shrug:
 
Thread drift only happens if one is not strict about remaining on topic (which in case of a title with insufficient scope would motivate a user to pick a better one for the next thread). The main goal in every thread should be to end it as quickly as possible, to steer a discussion towards an ultimate finale without getting to page 618.

“USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?” Yes, done.

Or we can just go wherever the bullshit takes us. Because this is supposed to be a fun discussion group, not a religious order.
 
Threads evolve naturally. Some end on the same subject where they began. Some end in politics. Others still end in debates over which food is the hottest and why Hot Pockets are of the Devil.

Not that I'd have anything to do with any of those scenarios.
 
Quantum storage reconfiguration everyone. That's why the Enterprise can change looks with a snap of a finger. The tech's all there.
 
I'm done when the Enterprise becomes a Transformer.

Well, simply put, just like the Borg and Locutus in FC looking different than before, sometimes you can't halt the changes in SFX.

Why? Are we under a word limit or something?

I wasn't aware conversations must remain on topic at all times. :shrug:
