Was anyone immediately pumped up for the movie after seeing the trailer? I sure was! The effects we have today that were used in the new trailer were incredible and made me want to see the movie even more!

You were probably blown away by the special effects in the prequels as well. I really wouldn't judge it on pretty graphics.

I thought about this too, but they showed Vader's mask while he was saying "my father has it", so it seemed logical to be Luke...

IDK.  The mask looks really strange for one.  Now if Luke's son was talking then the father reference would be Luke and the person he is talking to would be Luke's grandson? And the sister reference is a granddaughter?  Don't know if the time line allows for this.

Actually this makes more sense. Since the story is set about 30 years from the events in RotJ, it seems plausible.

I'm loving the new ship designs and the new Stormtroopers.

 

I'll spoiler tag this, but it looks like the Stormtroopers now fight for

the First Order and the Rebels are now the Resistance

correct me if I'm wrong but according to the book series, Luke is supposed to be or become evil in this installment.

 

I thought they made all the books non cannon as far as the movies are concerned? I'm pretty sure I remember reading that around here at some point.

that's exactly what bums me out. like the jason bourne books were about carlos the jackal, why do they have to diverge?

Question:

 

since the emporer and vader are dead, the empire is dead.. or is it?

But isn't that the same speech (with small changes) that Luke told Leia after the Battle of Endor?

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
