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?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
