Playing Kingdom Hearts Chi can be a fun time waster, but doesn't show you a whole lot about the Kingdom Hearts lore. That is except for the Tome of Prophecy. (AKA "Foreteller's Script) Now what this is, is a powerful and foreshadowing device that is able to dwell into events of the future of worlds, and examine how things in said world proceed. Basically, it's like a like a magical simulator/editor for worlds. It's full power isn't entirely clear, but it is a very powerful piece of text indeed. The power of the book is used for the gameplay and story usage in Kingdom Hearts Chi, but it is slowly making it's way into the more canon games. So according to Chirishii, before the creator of the book vanished, he bestowed it onto his loyal followers, also known as the "Foretellers." (Seen below, by their bear, snake, unicorn, leopard, and fox motif) They were given knew names and entrusted to read the future that was written in the book. The last page, dictates; ""The war in that place will lead to the defeat and destruction of the Light. The World will be enveloped in eternal Darkness." If you watch the Kingdom Hearts III teaser, Xehanort and Eraqus appear to be having a conversation on said text, So what does this all mean for the series? Well, Xehanort has done his homework since he was very young it seems. Well it seems like along with the 13 Darknesses and 7 Lights battle that approaches, "That place" may perhaps be a special world or field, in which Xehanort must concoct his plan. Not only that, but this little book finds it's way into the recent 2.5 HD Remix. Oh yes, upon viewing the Re:Coded cutscenes, there seems to show the possible connection. The opening scene for Re:Coded shows Jiminy explaining that the book from their first Journey only has one line in it now; "Their hurting will be mended when you return to end it" Spoiler: Re:Coded Opening Script ?????? (narrating): So, now we've taken two journeys. One to stop the darkness from spreading, and the other to put all the lost hearts back where they belong. To tell the truth, neither one was easy, but I sure was glad to be the cricket to write down what happened. Two journeys, both sittin' quiet right here in these two books. (Two small brown books sit on a desk, both emblazoned with a crown seal) Jiminy (narrating): But now, looks like the only thing left in one of 'em is a single line. (The pages of the first book turn to read "Thank Naminé") Jiminy (narrating): Of course, maybe that's because they're the only words this book was meant to hold and it's time to close it for good. But...who exactly is this "Naminé"? (The pages turn to a page near the end of the book, and Jiminy's eyes widen at another message: "Their hurting will be mended when you return to end it". Jiminy puts a hand to his head in confusion. He rushes to the Library of Disney Castle with book in hand. King Mickey sits at his desk as Jiminy explains everything to him) Mickey: A mysterious message? Jiminy: Uh-huh. I certainly didn't write it. And you know I never once let the journal out of my sight. I don't know when anybody woulda had a chance to... Mickey: Hmm... "Their hurting will be mended"? Gosh, Jiminy. Sound like somebody needs help and doesn't know what to do. Let's get to the bottom of this. Jiminy: Of course, but how? All of the other pages are completely blank. Mickey: Sure, the words you wrote are gone, but that doesn't mean the journal is empty. As you progress through the game/cutscne movie, you find that more and more messages begin to pop up everytime a world in the journal is repaired like "There's a road for the taking if you end our world's aching." amd "Their torment has been lessened." In the end, it's revealed that Namine with the help of Diz most likely, crafted a data version of herself to pass along that message so they could understand her message of "Thank Namine" from Chain of Memories.. Now while that doesn't really connect anything, it's shown just how dangerous and useful Data can be. About 2 hours in the movie, you'll find that Maleficent and Pete discuss the possibilities of Data in relation to the Tome of Prophecy. The Link below shows a scene between the two, discussing the various uses they need from the Journal in Coded. TIMED LINK Spoiler: English Translation Maleficent: I see... Pete: What is it? Maleficent: I didn't quite understand it when I heard "Data World". The Tome of Prophecy. Once, there was a book by that name. It described the worlds of the future as thoough its writer had seen them. Pete: Ohh, if that thing existed you could do whatever you wanted with the worlds, right? Maleficent: Reproducing those worlds of the future from that Tome of Prophecy, they say you could bring about the dwellers and powers that exist in the future. Pete: What? Bring them with a book? I can only believe it is a book from a fairy tale. I shouldn't have built my hopes up. Maleficent: Indeed, from a fairy tale... However, isn't the "Data World" something similar? That Journal they used to record their trip might have a connection with the Tome of Prophecy that supposedly existed in the past. Pete: This is getting interesting, Maleficent. Maleficent: This which is called "Data", we have to get our hands on it. Watched it? Good. So as you can see, the non Angelina Jolie Maleficent has managed to alter her route in the domination game by using the Data in the Jpurnal as her own personal Tome of Prophecy. And so she continues that route in Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance when she holds Minnie ransom for the Journal. So what are your thoughts on it?
Spoiler I found my Muse
Would anyone be interested in that? I'm currently just doing anniversary event quests, but I thought it might be fun to show people the gist of everything for those who don't play.
Still have hopes for the localized Japanese browser game? So does Square Enix. After some words with Siliconera, it seems that they are still shopping around to get Kingdom Hearts chi out to the English speaking public. News discovery accredited to @metanoia Do you have hopes for the localization? How appealing does the game look to you?
Yup! Disney almost released what many thought would be an anime, with Seth Kearsley as director and writer. Disney pulled back on the series, but Kearsley has released a storyboard his Deviantart page on what would have been part of the pilot episode from back in 2002. Also found are some words on his experience with the series, as well as an interview with KHUnion. News find courtesy of @Gexln

One of my Roleplays uses stats for a turn based RPG mechanic during powerfl bosses and I was curious if anyone ever considered/tried using such a thing. For fantasy or adventure means, people will have many special abilities and maneuvers they can perform throughout the story. But my question is, how limited can they be? Yes, it involves a certain amount of writing knowledge to know when your character has probably reached their limit, but I'm curious if anyone ever considered putting in a level system to help balance things out. Say I have a character who controls electricity. That kind of power can be immensely shocking against an opponent (Pun intended) If they are inexperienced, it would be pretty hard to do a "May god strike him down" move if he's still becoming accustomed to his powers. This is where I think the stat/level based mechanics can prove very useful. As roleplayers, we have a certain respect for growth that our characters go through, which is why I find the RPG level up system comes in really handy. You can't do something you haven't gained through increased attributes. You're limited to the potential your character gains with each level. I also think this can help the roleplay last longer. People can become more invested to see their character reach their maximum potential (Of course an interesting story is a real help to this) To watch as you bud from a small newbie to an almighty threat is one of the many things that attract me to the RPG genre. So what about it? Ever considered it?
Thinking of using frienship levels for certain limits. So having the maximum power for a limit could depend on both CG and Friendship Level (FL). Below is a list of all active players. Feel free to rate them from 1-10 (10 being BFFs) in terms of how well you think your characters get along. If you have not yet interacted with the character, you can not give them a ranking.

Weirdos and gamers of the forums; I come to you with a chance to show off your useless Kingdom Hearts knowledge! (I only say useless because it has no adaptable usefulness outside the series itself.. yet) What is the Trivia Tournament? The Trivia tournament is a special event, where site members face off one another to compete for a special prize. Entrants will be tested on their Kingdom Hearts Trivia knowledge. Many of the details can be listed from last year's thread , but the fun has been double in terms of format and trivia. New improvements have been made since then including a live soundtrack, custom buzzers, and a host that will bait and crush your spirits! How will it work? Contenders will compete by answering Short answer and multiple choice answer questions. Short answer going to the fastest buzzer, and multiple choice to individual players. Each game will consist of 3 players with 25 questions total. The task is simple; Get the most points in the game to guarantee a spot in the next round. Each game leading up to the final round will follow a typical routine. ➨ Introduction A small introduction to each of the players with some small chatter to help liven things up. ➨ Speed Round Players will compete in a reflex face off, where the faster finger gets to answer first. Each correct answer will give the player 1 point. There are only 10 questions with 10 seconds to answer. ➨ Intermission A small break for players to relax and brace themselves for the more difficult questions. ➨ Multiple Choice This is where the difficulty rises. Each player will be asked 5 multiple choice questions in a rotating order. (Starting first with the player in last place) Choosing from four possible answers, the player must answer within 15 seconds. If they take too long, or their answer is incorrect, the question can be passed to another player, who will then gain 1 point if answered correctly. Last year we had a total of 9 contestants, and we're hoping to do better this year! I'm willing to up the prize ante depending on the amount of people who enter. How do I sign-up?

Will try to make this short. So in the past 5 years, I've had 3 relationships in which I felt very strongly for the other. All three of these relationships have more or less ended up in the same way. Relationship One Around the time of my senior year in high school, I asked out a girl from my drama class in the first semester. To my shock, she said yes, and we went on for nearly a month with until the end of the semester. This is one of the more typical ones that I didn't feel as strong about, but she was still my first and only high school girlfriend. We laughed, we went out, typical teen things. The one that really got me here is how it ended. She asked if she could talk to me one day after school, so my being the paranoid person I am, met her at the place she wanted. Firs thing I asked here was "So who's the other guy?" I said it in a sort of joking way, but what she said next was far too ironic. "Actually, you kind of are the other guy..." I just stared blankly for literally a minute, and asked for the whole explanation. Turns out she was really only dating me because her boyfriend never listened to her. (I didn't even realize we weren't a public thing since I liked how we were so private all the time) To make things even weirder. the guy was on my football team. I never told him about it, and according to facebook, they are still together. Yay them? Relationship Two After high school, I thought it best to sort of steer clear of any girl who looked like she could cause me high school sitcom drama. Damn, did I mess that up. I met this girl through a friend of mine who said she just went through a break-up. I talked to her with my similar situation and after some talking, we found out we had things in common and just generally thought alike. This was a cool person. I would have been fine being friends until she asked me if I wanted to go on a date. (First time a girl asked me, so I didn't really want to turn it down) We watched a movie, took a walk, and before the date ended she asked that if we continued, if we wouldn't get too serious. I like to treat a girl right and show her I care, but I respected this. After my last relationship I thought it would be good to keep things a little casual. About every other weekend or so, we'd do something fun or just chat online. Simply ritual that went along for 2 months or so. Entering the third month while just laying on the grass, discussing life, she said that she wanted to get more serious. And we did... for about 2 more weeks. On breakup day, she thanked me for helping her adjust into better relationships since her previous boyfriend said she would get back together with her if she could learn to stop fooling around with people. It made me feel like the whole thing was just a test to her. When I confronted her on if it was, she just bluntly replied; "Well, not like a test, but like, proving I could be with some one for a long time. And you helped me pass!" She hugged me, and that was pretty much the end of that. To this day, I still can't believe that was the end result. I really wish I made this one up. Relationship Three I really had high hopes for this one. We met on a bus stop, (Not exactly a place to hook up, but whatever) while I was looking for work and took buses to new jobs. I found some temporary work and for the first four trips, she was always there, listening to music and/or reading a book. This was just a year after the last relationship ( Winter 2011 now) and she was so beautiful, I could just sing about it. (I didn't of course...) And she looked like the booksmart, shy type, which was different from my last two, and to be frank, I think that just made her more attractive to me. Since it takes me forever to muster up courage to talk to a pretty girl, I eventually just tapped her on the shoulder and stroke up conversation since we usually sat there for about 20 minutes before the bus came. It took about 3 or 4 rides before I actually asked her out. I know I was trying to stay off girls because of the first two, but she just had so much I liked about her. She played videogames, loved Disney, (KH included) she was funny, a talented singer with a soothing voice, and had such soft skin and big brown eyes. We hung out and that blossomed into something serous after 2 months in the spring. This was something I wanted to work since it was the first time it felt like I was getting just as much out of it as she was. She actually got me into writing again, helped me gain confidence, showed me the wonderous world of books. (I already read books, but she increased my library by a ton load) My favorite memories were when we just cuddled and watched Netflix. I didn't want this to end. I wouldn't let this end. Every time I saw her, I would show my appreciation in little, subtle ways, and always go out of my way to show her how much she meant to me. I would find ways to make her smile, and vice versa. This made the ending all the more heartbreaking. Before we could enter a fourth month, she called me over to her apartment. She didn't mention the talk part, but I just took any chance I had to see her. I go in and she tells me all about he camping trip she had with her friends. Her room mate, whom I never paid any mind to as he always was in his room when I was there, proposed to her before they got back home. She showed me the ring and just cried and smiled at me. The words she spoke still burn in my head. "I thought he'd never propose. All these feelings he had for me were still there. I couldn't say no." Her face had a mixture of "tears of joy" and "sorry man." I didn't know how to respond so I just walked away. I didn't reply or talk to her ever again. I was done. Maybe if I listened or asked then I might have gotten a little closure, but for that whole month I didn't want to anything. I gave up on the thought of being in a happy relationship. So as you can see all the story endings seem to have a central theme. While typing this up, I was trying not to make this as an affirmation thread, but more of a "What am I doing wrong?" thread. I've come up with my own theories, such as maybe putting too much, too early, but I'd like to hear other opinions. I feel like I'm the emotional band-aid a girl uses to feel better before I'm ripped off and tossed away when I've served my purpose. Maybe I'm bad at picking them, or just feel too much, but this has really put a strain on my mind lately. I'd like to say these are learning experiences, but it's really shot down my confidence and turned me away from trying to find a significant other. I want to be happy and move on from them, but they're like little ghosts that keep reminding me that I will only be in that state of love filled bliss for the sole reason of the girl's benefit in being with some one else. The really sad thing is I can never recall any of them saying I was their boyfriend. I was just always, "friend" or "insertrealnamehere," when introduced to people. Either way, it was good to cleanse this out of my system.
KHV's Top 10 ~Most Wanted KH3 Disney Worlds~ Since Disney's first animated film of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves in 1937, Disney and it's side companies have released hundreds of animated and live action films. With 14 submissions sent in this month, KHV members have sent in their most wanted picks that can be read below. ~Honorable Mentions~ #15) The Incredibles #14) The Jungle Book #13) The Princess and the Frog #12) Monsters Inc. #11) The Emperor's New Groove Spoiler #10) Pirates of the Caribbean Votes: 5 Average Ranking: 5.00 Appearing first in Kingdom Hearts II, Port Royal is the only world on this list to have been introduced into the series so far. While the animation may not have blended well with the cartoon styles of Donald and Goofy, the film series was popular enough to warrant desire from fans to continue the stories of Jack Sparrow. To date there have been four released films, with a fifth one to come in 2016, but when it comes to which story they prefer, submissions sent in were particularly interested in the Davy Jones story from the second film; Dead Man's Chest. #9)The Black Cauldron Votes: 5 Average Ranking: 3.80 Released in 1985, The Black Cauldron was the first Disney animated film for many things. First animated film to be rated PG, have computer graphics, and feature absolutely no songs! (Sorry kids, no sing-alongs here) , One of Disney's most darkest films, it had to be re-edited and revised to ensure it didn't go past the PG-13 rating due to graphic or violent scenes. Looking at the plot, is is based on the Chronicles of Prydain book series. It centers around a pigkeeping boy named Taran and his quest to find and destroy the black cauldron. It wasn't a huge box office success since it earned only half it's budget, making it one of the more least likely films to be introduced into the series do to Disney's stance on darker stories and putting the more popular films first. This film even had a princess that wasn't introduced into the Disney Princess line-up for the sole reason of it's poor theatrical performance! #8) Atlantis: The Lost Empire Votes: 6 Average Ranking: 5.83 Following the exploits of a devoted researcher named Milo, the story revolves around him, and a cast of highly trained crew members to find the lost city of Atlantis. Well look at that, some one who wants to see another world. Wonder how that would fit in... The film shows a lot of new environmental possibilities, going deep underground through caverns and breath-taking scenery of water falls and what life on land would look like under the ocean. This sci-fi film also features the voice of Master Xehanort himself; Leonard Nimoy. #7) Brave Votes: 6 Average Ranking: 5.33 Pixar's first film that took place in the far distant past, Brave centers around Merida; a princess who wants constant adventure outside her royal duties... Well, at least she has the archery going for her. The film's script and producers were shifted around a bit, causing the film to have some bumps before the final product released. All in all, it's a nice mother/daughter story with the right amount of heart and humor to it. The villain, being a bear, could always be modified as perhaps some sort of heartless, I guess, with some bow and arrow action from Merida as a party member. Seriously though, we could use some more Disney female party members. (The only two being Ariel and Mulan) And speaking of female party members... #6) Pocahontas Votes: 6 Average Ranking: 4.83 Seeing the perspective of new cultures can be either intimidating or welcoming. Most of this film focuses around the peace and war behind two different kinds of people. The one who live off the land, and the one who make money off it. Integration was never a huge theme in the series as Sora usually got along with most of the people he met, never feeling the need to actually question some of the styles or customs. Heck most of the time, he would just say it's weird and just move on. Darkness could easily be found in the hearts of the men who have hatred towards the other side, allowing the player and main protagonists Pocahontas and John smith, to play peacemaker. I don't know why, but I would just like to see Pocahontas herself as a party member. Fighting with the spirits of nature and all the colors of the wind. ALL OF THEM. #5) Tangled Votes: 6 Average Ranking: 4.50 A name change from the classic story of Rapunzel, Tangled re-invents the story to explain many aspects not included in the original tale. It also includes a cast of funny new characters, including Flynn Rider (A charming, narcissistic thief) Pascal, (the mute chameleon who shows emotion through facial expression) Maximus, (The horse who takes his royal guard job very seriously) and a tavern full of thugs with dreams. One of the more popular CGI films from Disney, Tangled marked the 50th film from the Walt Disney Animation company and would make a lovely addition to the Kingdom Hearts franchise. (Though I do feel sorry to the game animator responsible for Rapunzel's hair) #4) Wreck-it Ralph Votes: 8 Average Ranking: 3.00 A wonderful possibility for minigames in my opinion. Wreck-it Ralph takes place in an arcade, featuring a cascade of games. The three main ones from the film being Sugar Rush, Fix it Felix Jr, and Hero's Duty. (Hehe, Duty) It would also be nice for Sora to find a villain who isn't filled with darkness, but is just an honest guy doing his job to keep the game running. Also, would he need a costume change? I mean, I know he's already a video game character, but he isn't aware of that. If this film ends up being introduced into the franchise, I sincerely hope for the moment of sweet irony when a character asks which "Game" Sora's from. #3) Toy Story Votes: 9 Average Ranking: 5.77 Not going to lie. I kind of want to see Sora in this world as some kind of ken doll. All plastic, with rubber limbs, I wouldn't be able to stop laughing as I played him. And for Donal, maybe being a rubber duck? Goofy a toy soldier? For those who don't know, Toy Story is a Pixar franchise featuring the many trials and thoughts in the world of the toys. The three films perfectly captured what toys can mean to a child and show that they do care for their owner and enjoy being played with. Seeing as how Kingdom Hearts just loves that theme of the heart so much, Toy Story could always be a possibility. In fact, if you look in the Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix coding, you'll find unfinished models of Woody and Buzz Lightyear, who were meant to be summons. #2) Treasure Planet Votes: 9 Average Ranking: 4.66 Treasure Planet is a sci-fi adaptation of the classic novel; "Treasure Island." Plenty of ship sailing and starry scenery, Treasure Planet takes place in the distant future, where space travel and technology make for steampunk cyborgs and aliens galore. The main character; Jim Hawkins, finds a map to the fabled Tresure Planet, which is believed to have a planet full of riches. So how could this fit into Kingdom Hearts? Well, upon re-watching the film, I thought of some possibilities. For one, Jim is known to be a talented solar surfer. (It' like rocket powered windsurfing off the ground) Seeing as how Birth by Sleep introduced keyblade gliders, this world could perhaps feature a few fun little obstacle courses for some skillful maneuvering. Another is that most of the ship is meant to be full of criminals and the like. Similar to Hook's ship, the ship could be crawling with heartless, or some other form of enemy that the ship's captain doesn't know about. When it comes to the story, Jim's father left when he was little, and since his journey began Jim and Long John Silver grow a bit of a father/son bond, changing the course in certain plans for the treasure. Whatever the plausible idea, this film has proven to be underrated in Disney's film lineup, since many of it's fans can't wait to see a world based off it. #1) Frozen Votes: 12 Average Ranking: 3.83 The most recent Disney film, the frontrunner for the new KH3 Disney hopeful has been crowned. Frozen has been all the rage since it's release for it's animation story, and songs that you can't help but sing along to. But that's not why it seems to be ahead of the pack in this list. (Well those songs are pretty catchy...) Frozen unifies itself with the message Kingdom Hearts spreads in it's games about opening your heart to those you meet with and that closing it off will only bring the person's own ruin. The film itself focuses on two sisters; Anna and Elsa. Elsa is gifted with magical power to create and control ice and snow, which she used to accidentally create a blizzard over their kingdom. She then runs to the mountains for fear of what she might do to others and what they might do to her, isolating herself. From there, her sister Anna, accompanied by Olaf the snowman, Sven the reindeer, and some useless guy named Kristoff, go out to find her sister and bring her back to stop the blizzard. New environments and a nice soundtrack to tune with, Frozen offers just what the series delivers in all it's games. So for those who love the film, I hope your happy with the list, and to those who hate it; "Let it go". Want to have your say in the next Top 10? Click here!
So, I've been using my Rock Band mic for a long time now and decided to do a bit of an upgrade to a really good quality sounding mic for voice acting, podcasting, or other personal uses. Thought I would ask here first and see if any singers/voice actors had any good recommendations for excellent vocal recorders. Price range I'd like to go for is anywhere around $100, with the ability to record clear, crisp sound.

KHV's Top 10 ~Most Wanted KH3 Disney Worlds~Disney has offered us many selections to choose when it comes to possibilities for Kingdom Hearts worlds. From the early 1900s to today, Tetsuya Nomura is able to pick and choose between 100 years of history along with the ever growing franchise that Disney continues to buy. Below are the top 10 choices your community has mustered up for you! Spoiler #10) Frozen Votes: 4 Average Ranking: 7.0 Haha, very funny guys. This one is probably the least likely on the list, having no real value in the Kingdom Hearts universe. What's Sora meant to do here anyways, build a snowman? Luckily the rest of the list has better possibilities. #9) Howard the Duck Votes: 4 Average Ranking: 6.3 With Disney's purchase of the Marvel universe, many new possibilities came into play. One such franchise is the ever so popular "Howard the Duck." Why bother with tightly clad superheros when you have a duck filled world with social satire around every corner. We haven't seen a lot of him since his 1986 film, but Kingdom Hearts could be just what this character needs to get back out there. #8) The Mighty Ducks Votes: 4 Average Ranking: 3.0 A heartwarming classic about a out of work lawyer who has to teach some zany kids about the fundamentals of hockey. The possibilities are endless as Sora and company can join up with Coach Bombay and help the Mighty Ducks achieve hockey greatness! In my opinion, it's a way better choice than Frozen. Seriously guys, does Frozen even have Emilio Esteves? #7) Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 Votes: 5 Average Ranking: 4.0 The sequel to one of the greatest Disney films of all time, Papi and Chloe now have 5 new pups, where nothing is proving easy. With plenty of romance, laughter and even a bank heist, there is plenty to explore and many family lessons to learn. #6) Planes Votes: 6 Average Ranking: 6.5 Dane Cook as a plane. Endless possibilities! The above is possible concept art for what Donald Duck could look like as a plane. I don't know about you guys, but I'm sold! #5) Beverly Hills Chihuahua Votes: 6 Average Ranking: 5.5 Many BHC fans I see. This classic tale surrounds Chloe; a pampered dog who gets kidnapped and must escape the many dangers of Mexico to get back to her owner. A simple plot, but the journey alone is worth the watch. It may not fit into the story as well as it's sequels, but it's a nice story nonetheless. #4)Dog with a Blog Votes: 6 Average Ranking: 5.2 Disney Channel has had a lot of stinkers in the past with Gravity Falls and Phineas and Ferb, but Dog with a Blog, helps bring it back. Never before has such involving plot and well written scripts kept the viewer interested in what happens next! A talking dog story may sound old hat, but Stan knows whats what. A dog with the ability of speech, the humor never ends. Not being much of a good battle partner, he could perhaps make a good summon, distracting lower enemies with his amazing ability of being able to talk. #3) Mars Needs Moms Votes: 7 Average Ranking: 5.6 An unfortunate box office flop, this motion capture film bankrupted the studio, but not without touching a few hearts though. Mars needs Moms follows Milo; a boy sick of his own mother. Wishing she would go away, he gets his wish when Martians try to abduct her. Tagging along for the ride, he has to get her back to Earth for fear of what they could do to her. Plenty of new environments to explore, it's a shock Kingdom Hearts hasn't already incorporated it. #2) The Star Wars Holiday Special Votes: 8 Average Ranking: 5.9 Nothing says its the holiday season like Star Wars. While we haven't seen much of the franchise in Kingdom Hearts, plenty of characters have been inspired by it. Heck, the keyblade is practically a lightsaber equivalent. But the Christmas special would be the best storyline to incorporate here. Han Solo and Chewbacca plan to celebrate Life Day on Chewy's home planet of Kashyyyk, but getting home in time for the holidays proves to be a bigger task than expected. Plenty of space battles, this could be the best chance for Sora to use the keyglider and fight alongside the millennium falcon! Praised very intently by @Misty #1) Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3 Votes: 11 Average Ranking: 4.8 Was there ever any doubt? The sequel that surpassed the first two, there should be no excuse for this film not to be next in the series! With triple the action and family fun from the first, I don't even need to explain why this needs to happen. I mean let's be honest, I'm pretty sure everyone on earth has seen this film. And by everyone, I mean probably very little. I have never seen any of the films and didn't even bother searching up detailed premises, so I hope you enjoyed this little April's Fools countdown because it hurt so much writing it. Look forward to the actual list later on this week! Want to have your say in the next Top 10? Click here!
