Cool shirt–I bet most people won’t get the reference.

Did you see the Oscars? More Mark than I expected there to be. A highlight in an otherwise boring show.

Two people at the con I was at in January did get it. : )

I’ve been ill and in a zombie like state of existence all weekend and didn’t see the show. I missed the sweet commercial for the Overlook Hotel. I’m sure there will be youtube clips.

If the PT Jedi were depicted as chaste antisexuals, then shouldn’t the Sith have been depicted as polyamorous hedonists?

Isn’t that kinda what they were in Tales of the Jedi? At least Satal & Aleema Keto fits that description.

Also Darth Talon I guess? (I haven’t actually read the Legacy comics.)

Star Wars is Surrealism, not Science Fiction (essay)
Original Trilogy Documentaries/Making-Ofs (YouTube, Vimeo, etc. finds)

I suppose they were in the EU, but I was thinking specifically about the PT Sith.

‘How beloved is Mark Hamill? Throngs of fans take over Hollywood Blvd. to watch the Star Wars icon honored with a star on the Walk of Fame’ (with video in link above)

 

a video (from Variety’s youtube channel) of the event - with Harrison Ford and George Lucas:-

(there’s a touching and poignant moment between the two as Harrison closes his speech)

WOW!!! That is awesome! 😃 Thanks for posting. I had no idea he was getting a star on the walk of fame.
I used to have a newspaper clipping from “Harrigan & Hart” but I lost it. 😦

That GL part was a little awkward. 😄 And the closing “no, I’m out of that”. LOL.

“George Lucas had the idea that all the planets of the Alderaan system were united under one government, with Alderaan serving as the capital.”

That’s a paraphrased bit of trivia I read somewhere, either in this forum or elsewhere. Does anyone recognize the source? I’m dying to find it again.

I think the Old Republic stuff had Alderaan as being a capital of sorts - or lead planet of it’s own system?

https://trello.com/c/d0glqi7g/14-planets-1 & http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=769288 - whether the idea came from George or was in a early draft or an idea he mentioned… I don’t know mate.

Would have been cool for a girl to wear a Star Wars shirt 30 years ago and don’t know why that would have changed. Good on Hamill.

It’s still cool in many places, but you never know when kids are going to act like jerks.

I remember 20 years ago it wasn’t cool even for boys.

Even at 7 years old? I can buy it wasn’t cool at 17. Not that it stopped many of us, amirite?

I’m really glad Ms Tran was part of that. I’ve become a huge fan. Her scenes in TLJ will be what I rewatch the most. I hope she’s a major part of the next film. Also, I’m very surprised that hadn’t happened twenty years ago. I assumed he had one long ago.

Another highlight of the video is Billie Lourd referring to R2-D2 as “my son”.
