I think he's in the wrong universe, unless he has an empire to give away.
I watched the Force Awakens again tonight. The two newest Star Wars films are amazing, in different ways. It's maybe the 5th time I've watched this one ? It's still an excellent film.
It starts out slowly, gently, steadily drawing the viewer back into the universe. You have the pilot, you have the stormtrooper, you have the scavenger. Gotta say I love the character of Rey. The basis of the character had its criticisms (mainly in the minds of backwards people who balk at a girl being able to do all that) but for me she makes sense.
The character is a scavenger, growing up amongst strange machines, unusual equipment and harsh conditions. So she's learned how to make starships work and how to look out for herself.
It's a great character.
Looking forwards to seeing more of the new Star Wars, possibly on Thursday if things work out in town.
One thing about the cinema, it is definitely far more plug n play than home entertainment can be. I may have to look more at upgrading the telly ... I have :
Samsung telly. Bit crude but still does the job with showing the pictures. Bit small though at I think 32", I'd like something bigger.
Panasonic bluray player. A very competent device.
Onkyo AV amplifier connecting them together and doing the sound.
I think the amplifier has had issues since I got it, or it could be the telly confusing the link between the three items. They all hook up via HDMI, which has trust issues ... All those copying pirates led to copy protection going into systems where it doesn't belong and I think the telly confuses that copy protection trust link. Anyway. It had trouble with those trust issues tonight but I fixed it with the simple thing of taking the lead out and putting it back in again.
The amp is happily playing music now that the film is finished. It makes excellent music. Can't remember when I bought it .... years ago ! It has definitely given its money's worth.
May all our devices do that !
