That Jyn/TIE fighter shot looks terrible and ridiculous. I agree with Edwards and the others who decided to cut it from the movie. Good choice.

I have a feeling that shot was created for the trailer.

  1. Tarkin is so close to looking real, it almost throws the whole illusion off

It was amazing what they pulled off with CG Tarkin, but I was always focusing on the CGIness whenever Tarkin was on.

Same here for the first couple of times I saw Tarkin up on the screen - as a bit of a fan of the old Hammer Horror era films with Peter Cushing et al, it somewhat pulled me out of the film to look to see how they did it, how real (or not) he looked, how it worked best (dimly lit shots for me - and I think a really good reflection shot) etc.

Took me a few watches to just watch it for what it was - a pretty good attempt at it, and a near spot-on portrayal from Guy Henry.

I think I’ve said this before, but As a fellow HAMMER fan, I think you might agree;
I couldn’t and don’t believe this being Peter Cushing, but I did and do buy it being the character of Tarkin.

Tarkin Lives!

I wish this was the tag line for ESB! I like that his hubris takes him down with the ship so to speak, but he’s my favorite Star Wars villain and I’d love it if he could have made it through to RotJ.

It sounds like something Marvel would have done back in the day. They did do a storyline between ESB and ROTJ, where Luke and company have a to sabotage a new battle station named The Tarkin before it’s operational. In retrospect, I’m surprised Lucasfilm didn’t object to that, unless they borrowed the idea. 😉

Marvel wanted to do another Death Star, but Lucasfilm obviously rejected the idea. The Tarkin was a back up plan.

It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher

Got a video poster today and put it into my light-up frame, looks good for a PS job:

And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

I find the idea of video posters really weird but to each their own.

Anyone else really surprised by how normal and mellow Forest Whitaker’s speaking voice is on the special features? I don’t think I’ve ever heard him not doing a voice for a character before.

Worthwhile watch of an cinematographic analysis and a look into the behind-the-scenes technical details. (mind the April fools day joke at the beginning.)

Love the lighting techniques utilized in this film, and Interesting how the film has a blanket emulation of the Kodak 5230 film stock applied.

A poster for the video release.

My thought were a hologram like poster I got real excited for a second.

See how it lists the video releases at the bottom? 😉

Hope lives…

Video posters can’t rip and in theory would be easier to move around.

It might also feel funny to put your hand through but that benefit is merely hypothetical in nature.

Lol, I was referring to the aforementioned posters for video releases.

Oh

I feel you though because tags for videos aren’t like they are for music…if they even exist at all. It’s not even worth being on the periphery of my vision. Then again I can say the same thing about the posters themselves.

You mean Forest Whitaker doesn’t sound like his characters from Species and Ghost Dog in real life?

Video rental stores back in the 80’s were often hip deep in them. And the turnover was so high, they would toss a bunch out every few weeks. As they usually were very similar to theatrical posters, it was a way to get a poster from your favorite movie. (If you were a regular customer, and asked nicely.) Some theaters were kind of stingy about giving away posters, claiming they were “studio property” and had to be sent back with the film. (The ones that were real dicks threw them out anyway.) I can’t imagine buying a real movie poster was that easy before Ebay, unless you lived near Hollywood, where memorabilia shops selling such items are common, or went to a convention.

I got a bunch of video posters to cover an ugly blank wall in the editing bay back in college. The room had all the charm of a cell block, and a video poster for the horror flick Prison was my idea of a joke. Was really pissed when someone decided to yank them down, and toss them without even asking me if I wanted them back.

Where were you in '77?

I know, I should have said I find the idea of video posters for current-day movies really weird.

There are still some independent video stores around. Two in my neck of the woods alone. I think I’ve seen video posters inside the entrance at the local Wal Mart as well.

I had a full-sized video poster for LOTR: The Two Towers that I got at the midnight release for the theatrical dvd way back in August of '03. Not sure if it got thrown out or if it’s still rolled up in a cardboard tube, but it had sustained several major rips the last time I saw it.

I have one for Moroder’s Metropolis.

I find video posters incredibly wasteful. The local theater chain’s latest location has nothing but video posters. Such a huge waste of electricity.

Even though it’s idle it still serves more of a purpose than many things we waste electricity on. At least when it comes to stationary things and shit we’re not using ATM.
