Yeah the view from there is amazing, all the crazy people trying to sell you various ornaments are very entertaining too

When you grow up, you'll understand.

If you grow a pair, you'd understand.

Did anyone see the 30sec TV spot for Rogue One? Had Vader breathing throughout. Looked epic.

Link?

Cruyff14 are you getting anything for me this christmas?

 

[glenferry23]

Link?

Fairly certain that's Tarkin a few seconds in.

Yes it's magnificent, went at nighttime once and it was a spectacular setting.

I believe it is about to be inherited into WC's ownership.

Just got to a bit in the book where Tarkin and Krennick are essentially trash talking each other which is utterly brilliant to read.

As someone was saying in description of their relationship, Krennick is vying to be commander of the Death Star in place of Tarkin and, judging by the extent of his role in Episode IV, he doesn't succeed.

The power struggle between them is something I'm looking forward to. No surprises though who wins out haha.... but it's interesting to see if shows why/how Vader essentially becomes second fiddle to Tarkin (in terms of the Death Star).

It's interesting because it sounds like Tarkin basically just sits there and lets Krennick have his way to lead the construction, then after all the delays and issues Tarkin can basically turn to the Emperor and say "Look how incompetent this guy is, let me run the show" and he hops in after the plans get stolen. I'm also guessing Vader might kill Krennick for letting the plans get stolen (completely guessing, basing this on nothing). As to why Vader is under his command, that'll be interesting and hope that gets explained/explored as well.

And just on the previous topic about furniture etc, another suggestion is to take a minimalist approach. Not every room has to have stuff in it from the get go.

We've found that's significantly helped reduce clutter etc by learning from previous mistakes. You can always start off minimal and add things you need along the way.

How long until we start up the official bigfooty association football retirement village thread for cruffy and WR?

Exactly what we've done. I've brought cheap/free stuff in and even though it doesn't look amazing, it's functional, and as we need to or have the ability to, we can upgrade/add things that we like. This way we aren't stressed finding things, and we don't spend money straight away.

I think you're essentially right with all of that. I don't think Krennic (or anyone else really) will be around come the end of the movie.

Hoping for an epic choking death scene for him after the plans are stolen under his watch.

If you take your time you'd be surprised about how well you can match out free/cheap stuff too

Yeah I'm really hoping they kill most off and don't cop out because they don't want it being too dark.

I think the furthest I'd stretch and still be satisfied would be having most of them head to Alderaan to find Bail.

Bizarre outburst.

While it may seem bland from the outside, starting a new chapter in my life and moving into a place I have bought is pretty exciting, whether you agree or not.

Kinda like telling someone 'when you grow up'...

Got absolutely nothing against you being excited if that's what excites you. I'll just poke fun at it from time to time

What's been going on around here? I've missed about 2 weeks - trying to catch up on 2 weeks worth of posts is bloody difficult! Haha

Yeah this is good advice IMO. When moving into a new place bring in the bare minimum you need to live or just what you have already and give it a few weeks/months to figure out how much furniture you actually need before buying anything else. Also helps to be able to tape up outlines of furniture you are planning on buying on the floor to see how it will fit in the room etc.

Then have a housewarming party and hope you get heaps of vouchers from furniture stores from your mates as presents

Melbourne looked magnificent this morning. The walk along the river was quite enjoyable.
