I saw it for the second time today and I noticed that the Arrestor cruiser actually does appear in the film. I can’t remember exactly where, but I know it was in black and white and sat between two Star destroyers so I think it’s in the propaganda/recruitment video right at the start when Han is trying to escape Corellia. Thought it was one of those diplomatic ships from the start of the phantom menace the first time I saw it.
So I guess it’s canon ?

I thought it was brilliant, and all of the actors were great. Alden's Han was really good, not the same as Ford's Han, but that works as he is playing a younger, less mature version. He plays the part well. Donald Glover steals the show in every scene he's in though, absolutely perfect. Harrelson, Bettany and Clarke played great supporting characters, and L3 was the light relief.
Definitely in the top 2 of the new Star Wars (along with Rogue One).
I will be recommending to everyone, star wars fan or not, to go see this film as I want more stuff like this and less like the abysmal Last Jedi.

I have to say I think Grimwalker has been on the attack for no reason, Kaijudo said from the start he wasn't salty.
Kaijudo I think your idea of a jumping off point is fair. It was a big disappointment when FFG stopped producing Warhammer Conquest, but for me, having a complete card pool is nice. If the card pool is just going to continuously expand then you have to set your own limit. With so many awesome new games coming out recently (Thrones 2.0, Arkham LCG, and L5R) I think everyone has to decide where they're going to draw the line on some games, and keep going on others.
Thrones is my main one, so I get everything for that, but whenever I have a bit of extra money I throw it at Arkham or Android (or Destiny in the last week), but as a student I certainly can't necessarily justify £12 a month on a number of different games. Plus, I only started collecting Netrunner during the Mumbad cycle, so for me, who also only plays casually with friends, my 'complete card pool' begins with that cycle. I know I'm missing some cards but its just my own choice to save money. I'll probably judge the next cycle depending on how cool the setting is: it's the Mars setting that has made this cycle the coolest yet, so I don't know if I'll jack out.
But I can definitely see where you're coming from Kaijudo

GoT being multiplayer is what helped me to get my friends addicted to it, as it is I only rarely play Netrunner because the 1v1 format is not so inclusive, particularly if there's an odd number of people. I am hoping there is a multiplayer mechanic for this game.

FFG would get all of my money if it meant I could build up separatist and republic fleets like those in the battle at the start of Revenge of the Sith and in the Clone Wars. Especially Munificent frigates and Recuscant destroyers!

Even though Imperial Guard and Tau are two of my favourites in the GW miniatures, I think for this game the best races for an expansion would be Necrons and Tyranids. Necrons and Tyranids would both have high morale, but Necrons would have fewer units than any other faction, maybe two of each type of ship, same number of infantry as Eldar, but high damage points. Their dominate order could be something like 'spawn one [smallest infantry] in an adjacent system on an uncontrolled world'.
Tyranids could have loads of small infantry, maybe that do less attack dice than other teams, but they could have double unit capacity on worlds and voids to represent swarming? And low damage and attack units but many of them? That way you would have two completely different races in the mix. SoB are too much like SM, Dark Eldar are too much like Eldar and IG are too much like Orks for mass numbers.

I'd just like to be able to have two really cool looking fleets, for the rebels that requires the Liberty. I'd also like to see the MC80a (wingless Liberty) because they are actually my favourite of the Mon Cal designs, but I know that's a way off. GR-75s are a must too.
I would like to see clone wars era ships too, Venators and Acclamators vs Providences, Munificents and Recuscants, and a host of smaller craft

So I thought I'd give you the benefit of the doubt and watch the videos so that I could try to understand where you were coming from...
I couldn't see the relevance of the first one and why you'd shared it, and in the second one, the person that wrote the letter that is quoted has completely misunderstood pansexuality, and therefore many in his audience will have too.
Being a pansexual does not mean 'trees and toasters turn you on' (to paraphrase), but rather that sex and gender do not come into the equation where romantic feelings are concerned.
I've always assumed that Lando was Pansexual, as Captain Kirk must be, and probably Starlord too. If you're sleeping with aliens, even if they look like a female humanoid, chances are their culture does not consider gender in the same way as ours, and their DNA and evolutionary journey is not a direct mirror of ours on Earth, and therefore are not genetically 'male' or 'female'.
And for the record, I hated the Last Jedi, but that was because of poor plot points, a feeling that they treated the characters with very little respect, and humour that works in Marvel films, but not so much in Star Wars films. I actually like Rey, Finn and Poe, I think they're great characters, but the film was terrible.
Boycotting Solo is a bad move in my opinion, simply because this is a good film again, that caters to the fans far more, but if it doesn't do well then Disney will assume the fans do not want more movies that do just so.
