    Just re-watched Dark Frontier yesterday before Saints game. The one that goes into 7of9s backstory and how she was assimilated with her parents; who were studying the Borg. It was pouring rain and nothing better to do.

    Some other things I loved about this movie:


    Warning Spoilers below.


    It completely shreds the haters biggest critique of A New Hope. Oh so the Death Star just happened to have this hole that if struck with a blast from a fighter it explodes. Sure..... Well suck it haters.

    The Darth Vader chemical bath. That part was awesome. We see how Vader survives without the suit.

    The introduction into the movies of the infamous khyber crystals.

    We finally get to see the wars in Star Wars. we basically see insurgency in Jedha, looked like something you would see in Iraq or Afghanistan.

    The main droid in the film isn't a little whiney bitch but is kind of comical.

    There are characters who are pretty deep and flawed and it also shows that Rebels aren't always these saints who can just do no wrong.

    I need to go see it again.

    Completely agree; especially the part about seeing it again. Oh, and I'll also add that I liked this movie about a thousand times better than the Force Unleashed.

    No match for a phaser

    Please. Tell me you're kidding. A light sabre will just redirect the beam back at the person holding the phaser. If both were actual weapons, of course.

    I refuse to get into an arguement with a nerd over which fictional weapon is better.

    Live long and prosper

    On the other hand, Spock could change the frequency of the beam emitter so that it passes right through the lightsaber.
