Nach einwöchiger Pause geht es weiter mit unserem Besprechungs-Projekts; wie immer habe ich mir hier die Handlung und die Charaktere näher angeschaut, die wichtigsten Szenen aufgezählt, und einen Überblick über positive Aspekte und Kritikpunkte gegeben. Mit Episode VII beginnen wir unsere Besprechungen zur Sequel-Trilogie, und auch wenn diese von allen Star Wars-Filmen am unbeliebtesten ist, bekommen sie eine mindestens genau so mühevolle Besprechung. Tatsächlich mochte ich Episode VII von allen Sequels schon immer am meisten, trotzdem sind mir aber noch mal ein paar neue Dinge aufgefallen (die ich hier natürlich alle erwähnt und besprochen habe) die dafür gesorgt haben, dass ich ihn noch einmal etwas anders wahrgenommen habe. Trotzdem wird aber auch ein bisschen Kritik geäußert.

What is success? What does it mean to be successful? Is it in the milestones, the recognition, the financial gains, the assets? Everyone wants everlasting success but what is also housed in every success story are sacrifices, doubt, failure, and questions. Questions of whether success benefits those around them as well as themselves, whether success would have arrived sooner if chosen another path, or whether the success experienced is even success at all.How would you define success when you are hailed as being one in your community? Is that something to celebrate or reason to feel some guilt because you represent the few and not the many? When you are successful, you willingly donate your expertise, time, and money to friends and loved ones without expecting anything in return, is that a cost or a benefit? Can it be both?Can success extend life expectancies? Does life get any easier? Does it worsen? Is it more tiresome being Black and successful?

We were raised by Star Wars. Many of us were also raised by parents, but to our recollection, it was Star Wars first and foremost. You're probably a lot like us. Maybe you are part of our generation, young enough to approach the films without any cynicism. You were obliged (forced) to improvise a lightsaber to duel with, making your own sounds- The best one we ever came up with was made of a flashlight and some cellophane. You reenacted scenes, you role-played the characters in your backyard before that was a thing you were allowed to do at conventions. You might have even been blown away by finally seeing the letter-boxed editions of the tapes, catching that frog-lizard dude just on the left of the frame on the way to Jabba's palace. Tyler can't remember first watching Star wars, only the feeling of having watched it for the 20th time, over and over on those VHS tapes. Imagine Tyler as a child, still somehow a beardy photographer, tucked away in a cozy cabin in the woods, staring at a tiny department store-brand television, preparing himself to be a Jedi. Rob had some dubs- Illegal Beta dubs, or maybe taped off the TV? Movies took decades to hit the small screen, as far as he remembers. Rob did catch Return of the Jedi in the theatre, already so very familiar with the Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, but too young to realize what was waiting for him on the big screen. Despite graduating film school, and being a supposed cynical artist, Return of the Jedi remains one of his favourite films, a narrative and visual aha moment. For people like us particularly, but for all ages of unabashed fans of the Galaxy Far, Far Away, the news a sequel to Star Wars was coming was secretly what we'd been hoping for all along. The theatrical rerelease of the original trilogy was fun (Technically Han didn't shoot first, because Greedo never shot, so, Han just shot. Bad Han!), and the news of the prequel films was exciting (Rob was not auditioned for Anakin), but not exactly what you'd been wishing for. You'd probably made some foray into the extended universe, role playing games that quantified the speed of the Millennium Falcon and the size of Star Destroyers, endless comics about what Han was doing on a Thursday night between New Hope and Empire (being awesome with Chewie), and trawling the early internet for blog posts about a guy who knew a guy. With huge expectations on Star Wars: The Force Awakens, making the movie would have been daunting. We imagine JJ Abrams pooping his pants a little, as we all collectively, metaphorically, folded our arms and said “Oh yeah?”. This is a movie which was required, in some respects, to win back our trust from “those prequels”, but at the same time fit in with them. We needed to meet old friends, but also meet new heroes to cheer for, and new bad guys to boo at. We wanted to return home, and yet be surprised. The Force Awakens seemed to walk that line. In this podcast, we'll discuss our new heroes, and how quickly we got to like them (pretty quickly). We'll discuss our new villains, and particularly Kylo Ren and all of his fun-to-watch internal conflict, as well as how he compares to Darth Vader. We spend some time talking about potential character development, potential character backgrounds, and possible secrets- as well as which fan theories don't matter (Rob even asserts we don't care if Rey is related to another important Jedi). We break down the mirrored storyline form A New Hope, and its hits and occasional misses (Yeah, okay, it's MUCH bigger than the Death Star, we'll allow it.), as well as the characters in their new roles as echoes of the original trilogy. If you don't have an hour, We're both very satisfied with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It has a familiar feel, both narratively and visually to the original trilogy, it seems to have heart and yet not take itself too dangerously seriously. Then, after recording a whole hour diving into our thoughts on the movie, we had a little more to say about predictions, other reviews and reactions to Episode VII in real life.

In project management, a death march is a project where the members feel it is destined to fail, or requires a stretch of unsustainable overwork. The general feel of the project reflects that of an actual death march because the members of the project are forced to continue the project by their superiors against their better judgment. ~WikipediaWill and BJ discuss the troubles and tribulations of the death march. They are typically characterized by heavy turnover, burnout, and timelines that are too aggressive to actually meet. Death marches usually come about though poor management or a disconnect between developers and other departments like sales. Rapid growth may also lead to a death march. Growth of the team or growth of the company if it is a startup. It is best to avoid working for companies or projects that have death march potential. To do this ask upfront what the expectations are regarding hours, overtime, and comp time during the interview. Remember you are choosing the company as much as they are choosing you.LinksIoT is Over-hypedWikipedia DefinitionUrban DictionaryPortable AppsSpecial NoteExcerpt of The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme) by John Williams used in the discussion about the Episode VII was taken from The Music Of Star Wars: 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition .

The guys start off the day by discussing dumb questions that don't deserve answers. However, seeing dumb questions in retrospect makes Omair and Faisal think differently. Science gets explained in lay men's terms. Even better, super hero science, human tetrachromats (see show notes), outer space, and existentialism has its 15 minutes of fame. We shed light on different techniques to watch all 6 (or 5)of the Star Wars Saga. Just in time for the release of Episode VII in December! Back to the Future's prophetic nature is appreciated and illusions are explored as tricks your mind creates. Play-along section includes. An experiment is presented, get in touch with us about your findings! Rami wants to clarify that Omair made the joke at the end.
