majormoron (10/17/2015) [-] 
833,000 years huh?
And where exactly did they get that "fact" from?
I mean correct me if I'm wrong but do they have figures for how many people worked on it? How many hours a day they put into the construction. The skill of the people working on it? If you had enough people you could probably get it constructed way quicker than this. This number is complete ******** and they just pulled it out of their add. Kickass facts, more like_ **** out of our ass_ facts.

majormoron (10/17/2015) [-] Our rate? Why in the world would we use our rate. First of all there's only one planet in our solar system with human life forms and we can only harvest from our planet materials like iron/steel.
On the other hand, the empire has control of way more planets and people
According to Wookiepedia
"The Galactic Empire's territory at its peak consisted of some one and a half million member and conquered worlds, as well as sixty-nine million colonies, protectorates and puppet states spread throughout the entire galaxy, stretching from the borders of the Deep Core to at least Wild Space."
So i guess if you wanted to you should take the number of production we are capable of and multiply it by around at least 60% of what the empire had, trying to take into account the planets that might not have the material to make iron/steel, as well as taking into account the amount of people in the rebellion, which while was vast, was nothing compared to the vast forces of the Empire.
Basing the time it took to make the Death Star on the production rate of ONE planet is like basing the time you should cook a muffin based on a wedding cake.

Pharonix (10/17/2015) [-] The 833k years was the amount of time it would take EARTH to make a death star.
They were using EARTH's rate of production.
it's based off of if EARTH decided to make a Death Star
This is also assuming we live in a universe where the galactic empire doesn't exist

majormoron (10/18/2015) [-] Well then that really needs to be stated. That's what threw me off. I guess when they said this i was thinking of how long it took the Empire and I just had the ******** alarm go off in my head.

Pharonix (10/18/2015) [-] i agree, all they needed to do was say,
"It'd take Earth 833,000 years"
That''d fall on kickassfacts.com to supply the correct context.
It's a boo-boo on their part.

trolololer (10/18/2015) [-] But what if someone actually wants to do a very well-done multi-million dollar kind of reboot?

distortedflare ONLINE (10/18/2015) [-] Then they should watch back to the future their problem solved no need to waste millions making a movie that already exist. I am looking at the new feminists and SJW approved ghost busters.

nigeltheoutlaw (10/18/2015) [-] Mad Max: Fury Road was exactly that. So was Dredd (the 2012 one). It can be done, it just takes a lot of work and luck.
#58 to #50

nigeltheoutlaw (10/18/2015) [-] Mad Max had all different actors and rewrote the story. It was a reboot.
Dredd was all different actors in a different universe than that of the old movie. It was a reboot.
Sequels continue the previous stories with some or all of the previous characters from previous movies. Neither of those are sequels, and red thumbing me won't change that.

nigeltheoutlaw (10/18/2015) [-] A remake doesn't have to have the same story... It literally remakes the movie, which means it may or may not have the same story as it did previously. There's not continuation from the previous Mad Max movies, so how could it possibly be a sequel? There's no continuity aside from the general universe and a man named Max who used to be a cop.
#65 to #64
-
nigeltheoutlaw (10/18/2015) [-] If it's remaking a previous universe, story (max in aussie wasteland), and character, then yeah I would say so. Not sure why this is such a controversial opinion.
#66 to #65

zorach ONLINE (10/18/2015) [-] They didn't remake the Mad Max universe, there are even hints throughout the movie that "Max" is actually the wildling kid from the second movie. Even if that's ******** it's still just another one Max's adventures. If you remake a movie you can't change the movie too much, or it just becomes another movie in the series.
#67 to #66
-
nigeltheoutlaw (10/18/2015) [-] Hmm, that's a fair point I guess; I never picked up that he was supposed to be the wildling kid.

OtisMcWonderful (10/18/2015) [-] Emulators cover most everything up through the 5th gen though N64 emulation is still HLE **** and Saturn emulation has stagnated . With a decent PC, some of the 6th gen becomes available through Dolphin and PCSX2. That's what everyone's using for PS2, right? I don't give two ***** about the PS2, so I'm not entirely sure on that.

Also, look into some cable management.

jrockjesse (10/18/2015) [-] Good on Robert Zemeckis, do you think he will allow a sequel though?
#53 to #49
-
esmebuffay (10/18/2015) [-] Probably not, he doesn't want to do one without Michael J Fox and his Parkinson's prevents him from committing to being a lead character in a movie. Unless he did it with one of his kids and had Marty as a side character, which I don't see happening based on what he's said, for good or ill the three films are all there will ever be so long as Zemeckis lives.
#70 to #53

jrockjesse (10/18/2015) [-] I am all for a sequel, as for J fox's Parkinson's, its not as bad as it used to be due to the experimental drug he is taking, not to mention its crazy to have them say marty has parkinsons in a sequel I just hope they never ever try to remake it, because you and I both know they will remake it with a female because of this stupid ******* trend, I can see them remaking it with martha mcfly .

thatguyontheright ONLINE (10/18/2015) [-] Zemeckis did approve The Game, which is like a Back to the Future 4.
