Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Lol EU.
Lol indeed.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
What does bleeding a crystal mean anyway?
It means that a Sith takes a living Kyber crystal that has already bonded with a Jedi and forces his will onto it, and “bleeding” it in the process, turning it red. The idea is that all Sith must earn their lightsabers by killing a Jedi and stealing their crystal.
Meh.
If there needs to be a specific reason why Sith use red lightsabers and Jedi use blue/green lightsabers, why can’t it just be tradition? Perhaps in their early past, both orders used a wider variety of lightsaber colours, but they gradually stopped using such colours once they became associated with their trademark hues. Why must everything be so damn convoluted?
Sure, it doesn’t have to be so specific, and it does aesthetically limit the bad guys somewhat, but I guess they felt the colours had become somewhat too arbitrary and purely cosmetic at some point, and when they began the new EU they saw a chance to add some more ‘magic’ into the new lore. I still mostly prefer the old stories, I’m just glad to see that the new ones are putting a lot of emphasis on the fantasy aspects of SW again.

Heh.
Can somebody explain this #rotjpigmen thing to me? I think I missed something.
Multiple pages of argument in the TLJ Review thread over whether or not Luke force-choked the Gamorrean guards at Jabba’s palace.

Well that’s easy.
He did.

Well, using both the script and the movie itself as reference, there’s plenty of convincing arguments that he technically didn’t.
Though I had no idea this had anything to do with a TLJ review. How exactly are those two related?

I think they were arguing Luke’s moral standards, if he’d do bad things, such as choking people at all.
And no, there are no convincing arguments that he didn’t. Adywan quoted the script (or the novelization) and it’s pretty clear that the guards were being choked.

The novel says he chocked them, yes, but the script is much more vague.
“Luke raises his hand and points at the puzzled guards, who immediately lower their spears and fall back.”
There’s also the complete lack of the Force choke sound effect that was used in every choke scene earlier in the OT (and all subsequent film as well).

We need a thread for this.

Nope, it’s definitely still there, and the audio tracks back it up. Specifically looking at the bottom track, which is for the deeper, more bass-y, sounds.
Here’s the clip with only that bottom audio track enabled.

You can even hear what sounds like bones crunching.
Weird. Which version did you use for that video? I checked my copy of both the GOUT and the despecialized version, turned up the sound, and I really can’t hear it in either.
I can sort of hear the “crunching” sound you referred to, but it sounds different, and more like a gargle to me.
EDIT:
We need a thread for this.
Yes.

Question about a book published in 1995, The Illustrated Star Wars Universe (hardcover edition). Is there some kind of autographed/signed issue by both the authors (McQuary & Kevin Anderson) ? I can’t find anything about that.
We need a thread for this.
There already is one my friend…

Lol. Someone, give us a truly random thought to Heimlich this shit.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
So, last night I’m getting ready to go to sleep (take meds, brush teeth, grasp at throat, choke, gurgle, fall against the wall, ect.) and just before I slip into dream time I realize that neither of the songs we hear the Model Nodes play have names.
Or do they? They should.
Cantina Band is a fine title for the first number, but the second one, the one the audience in the movie seems to prefer is Cantina Band #2. That one needs a different title.
As always (?) Wookiepedia has your answer ! Don’t be Mad About Me
Han: Hey Lando! You kept your promise, right? Not a scratch?
Lando: Well, what’s left of her isn’t scratched. All the scratched parts got knocked off along the way.
Han (exasperated): Knocked off?!

That’s neat! But is there no name for the second song?
Have you ever listened to the first one played on a piano? It’s amazing how much it sounds like it came from a bar in the old west.
I dunno that I’d say it’s “amazing” that it sounds that way. I mean, that was the point of it, right?
But, yeah, it’s cool.
Well, I guess you’re right, but I hadn’t noticed it until I heard it on a piano.
The second one’s better even though the first one’s more iconic.
I’d say my favorite moment in the Star Wars saga is from when the score comes back for Luke’s attempt at the trench run until the very end of the movie. I always get the chills during “use the force, Luke” and when the Death Star blows up.
