My PC has a BluRay burner that can handle the dual layer discs. Very easy to burn. I have no experience with 4K so I would assume a USB drive would work. Plug into newer TVs and it should play the movie.

You can compress 4k to 20-25 gb without losing any quality (at least as far as I can't tell). Evey at 15 gb you get really good quality.

This again?
Is it really so hard to distinguish the suspension of disbelief necessary to accept the premises of any speculative fiction from judgments about whether the presence or absence of things like internal logical consistency or relatable character motivations add up to compelling story telling?

I mean sure that’s true. Thing is Disney took over the franchise and decided to release sequels films nearly the decades later. They had a choice to make. Either bring back the same actors in their beloved rolls, recast them or start completely fresh. They made the best choice and brought the actors back.

So where did that leave them? They were forced to jump decades into the future to more closely match the actors ages. Otherwise they would have been happy to start closer to the end of ROTJ and not have had complaining fans wondering what the hell happened during those “missing” thirty years.

I guess they could have started our TFA with a montage of what’s been going on all those years or had a character spell all the little details out in an extended exposition scene. Personally I’m glad they put trust in their fans to understand that the holes in the backstory will be filled in over time. Via books, games, shows and comics. Just like the old EU was often used for.

Been around for a little while, but really blowing up with the youths right now.

Personally, I think it is pretty funny when used well...but well on track for being massively overused to the point of meaninglessness.

I nice reflection back on a demeaning "ok kiddo," perfect for someone who is not quite old enough for an "ok grandpa." Burgeoned by a few boomers getting their panties in a fit over it.

Ok boomer.

Wow, the mandalorian sucked. One lazy ripoff of the original movies after another after another. The lead can't keep up his boba fett impression for more than 10 minutes before he starts cracking wise and talking to himself like Harrison Ford. And the plot is about as bland and cliched as you could imagine.

Haven't seen Mandalorian yet, i'll check if friends of my uncle Skidrow have it.

LOL it's just bad writing like respawning Dothraki, quite clearly for sake of new republic being underdogs again like rebels were.

I understand it doesn't bother you much and that's very fine, but cmon stop defending error in writing and pretend its actually very smart. This is like listening to Trump "the conversation was perfect" :rolleyes2:

Well I mean, it's not really fair attacking Star Wars as derivative since the very first one was just a remake of Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress anyway.
