A lot of Star Wars fan nowadays grew up on the Prequels. I’m not surprised. That said, they haven’t brought up any of the OT people we know will appear.
(I knew not to expect the OUT. I hope for it, but I’m cynical we’ll ever see it)
I heard about Liam Neeson. Apparently his film is shooting where my sister lives.
I’m hoping those scratches are just make-up.
Are a bunch of people logging onto OT to discuss this, now? Site just had a huge hiccup.
Probably. I’m here for that.
While George being here doesn’t really help the OOT, I don’t mind listening to him. I don’t agree with him, but it’s not bad to hear what he was thinking of.
Surprisingly enough, the rings are only about half the game, not the whole game.
Of course, the only person I know doing a let’s play of it is extremely slow on updates.
It was around the time of the Writer’s Guild Strike, and based on a single punchline (Smart cavemen!)
It’s not too surprising nobody remembers it in any detail.
The best source we have for the mono is a 16mm print. A 35mm would sound even better if one ever turns up. The mix itself is not of low quality. Ben Burtt and company spent more time on it than the stereo and 70mm even.
I must’ve been misinformed. What I’ve heard regarding the mono recreation was that Academy mono as a standard was not of the highest quality.
Still, it sounds like what we have regarding the mono is better than what we have for the 70 mm (six track, if I recall?) audio, as all I know about what we have for that is someone’s in theatre recording of it, and a recreation based on the '93 laserdisc as a starting point.
So for the Hell of it, I tried listening to Star Wars’s mono track off a low quality bluetooth mono speaker I have.
I must say it improves the experience of the low quality mono. You don’t really notice that the radio static in the final fight is missing when everything sounds like you’re listening to it over a walkie talkie.
It’s definitely worth the investment for a 4k monitor, if one of my gaming friends is right. TV, I’m not sure about.
The Dungeons & Dragons movie. Either you never watched it, hated it, or only liked it for Jeremy Irons as the villain.
I didn’t know there were any vampires in the Rebellion. 😉
That’s why the door was stuck. They knew Vader was coming, and hoped that he could defeat a vampire. Best case scenario was that they both killed each other, but alas, only one threat to the rebellion could be dealt with this time.
I might just be showing my lack of age, but when I hear Vector Prime, I think “Time Travelling Transformer,” not “The book where they crash a moon onto Chewie.”
When you watch R1 and ANH back to back, it seems like Vader is so pissed off when he boards the Tantive IV because everyone keeps waking him up and making him get out of the tank.
He was trying to have a nap for once in his life, but nooo. That Krennic bastard had to ruin everything. Twice.
So, is there anyone else on this forum excited for StarCraft: Remastered?
I forgot how much I liked Brood War’s Soundtrack.
Well, we did hear Obi-Wan’s voice in TFA, so I assume his ghost is still around in some amount.
The forceback is still rather difficult to fit into this, as I don’t even think the times where the characters get visions of the future really compares well with it. For all we know it could even be a piecemeal construction from the thoughts of a sentient lightsabre (though where it got the information regarding the razing of Luke’s academy is a good question.)
I was originally going to post this in the 4K restoration thread, but I thought it might be more fun to speculate here:
I’m curious as to what the status of the Force ghosts in the new canon is. Do they fade away after some time like in the old EU? Are they still there to talk to Luke and co.? Will we see Luke talking to them without seeing them, leading the rest of the cast to believe he’s gone mad?
Not only that, but the original plan in Empire was for the crystal in Luke’s blade to be what helped guide him to Dagobah.
It really wasn’t tossed into the wayside.
Today is Trans Day of Visibility (damn, I never realized how many I’s are in that word).
Hello, I exist. Is that Visible enough?
Wish it was easier to get those blue pills.
Is that an A-Wing strapped to boosters to make it look like a Y-Wing?
To be honest, neither the Stereo Beru or the Mono Beru sound all that natural to me. Mono Beru felt like she stressed the wrong syllables sometimes.
I didn’t read the full title, so I was taken aback when I saw Wiseau’s face.
I’m surprised that he has a career outside of The Room, nevermind that someone else wanted to direct for him (Is Gary Fong related to the creation of The Room? I can’t remember)
So, no, essentially.
I don’t know why, but the bigger takeaway from that is that it was shot in Kelowna. I wonder if I’ll recognize any buildings there or not (probably not, it’s been a few years since my sister moved out of there so we haven’t had much reason to visit).

I saw a Legends book titled The Last Jedi at my bookstore a few weeks back. I meant to take a picture of it, with some joke about how the script got leaked.
The most colourful VHS I remember having is “Monsters Inc.” but that was because the cassette itself was blue, rather than any fancy art on it.
EDIT: I looked it up, and it seems like the PAL (UK maybe?) release of Monsters Inc. is incidentally an example of a cassette with fancy sticker art on it, while the American release had the standard generic white text on it.
Canada.
As my experience with video games would tell me, it’s harder to get here than you might think.
