Speaking of overrated shows, I just started watching the first episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Most of the jokes are silly rather than funny. I just don’t get surreal humour. To me it feels like it goes into r/iamveryrandom territory. I much prefer Fawlty Towers as its humour is more “structured” if you catch my drift.

It’s very English and very half a century old. If you’re not into non-sensical humour, you won’t get it I think.

Cool bike girl only makes me more interested in this series. Plus I feel George Lucas would probably really approve of her bike.

(She’s played by Sophie Thatcher by the way)

So, as it seems we already saw Black Krrsantan, is this girl Dr. Aphra? Or does it not fit with the timeline? (I haven’t read the comics)

(Jedit: checking with Wookieepedia, Aphra would be 33 at the time Boba was Daimyo. Or it’s a flashback, and it’s why she looks so young)

I’ve got a bad feeling about this!

I wonder who this is in the new trailer above?

The speeder bike looking like a scooter, especially a Mods inspired one, with all the mirrors, could turn rather ridiculous…

And the gift is an awful entry level turntable? Yikes.

I see them on Amazon (without the Lucasfilm logo) for around $70. I dig it. Wish they’s send me one.

The case may be cool but the mechanical part (the actual turntable) is utter plastic crap. (as seen on the Techmoan YouTube channel)

And the gift is an awful entry level turntable? Yikes.

Directors that made a movie named Monster(s) should have a Star Wars movie whose name starts with Rogue!

What’s wrong with Quantic Dream?

Workplace harassment charges

(Besides I’ve played their latest game and hated it: boring and pretentious. Maybe they’ll have a better writer for this one)

I think they are from the Ewoks movies?

It’s not my video. It’s from Todd Vaziri who is a VFX artist and has worked on numerous blockbusters! There’s always a lot of interesting things on his twitter.

ILM Reused Ship Path Animation in “The Empire Strikes Back”

Official site databank entry for Boba Fett’s Starship

Announcement is still up on the official site. If it had been cancelled this would have been deleted I think.

Zendaya confirmed in an interview that Sharon Duncan-Brewster told her that she plays her mother.

Oops. Thanks Z6PO. If only I could remember anything from GCSE French…

It’s OK, I have no merit: I’m French! (But this kind of typo ruffles me the wrong way, I have to correct it, sorry)

I loved Liet Kynes played by Sharon Duncan-Brewster in Villeneuve’s Dune. My favorite character from the movie!

And by the way, Sharon Duncan-Brewster was in Rogue One:

Guys, it’s spelled Villeneuve ! The e is (almost) always before the u in French.

Eastern influences are here from the beginning: Darth Vader suit is clearly inspired by Samurai armor. But Star Wars isn’t basically a remake of The Hidden Fortress. These two films have a lot in common, but they are also very different, I think.

This remake thing keeps repeated, and it’s bothering me! I’m wondering if it’s been somewhat blown out of proportion to undermine Lucas achievements? Like he’s not that a good movie director, he just copied Akira Kurosawa.

They are both clearly inspired by the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird.

The trailer is here !

The expendable design makes more sense, and is in line with the philosophy of the Empire military! I had always found the hyperdrive ring on the Jedi fighter kinda stupid: if it gets destroyed after you leave it behind, you become stranded and have to call for help…
