love these vhs cover creations , I took my dvd copy of force awakens and played it through my old apex dvd player hooked up to an old portable tv/vcr combo and made a vhs copy of it . Might do the same for Rogue one and display with all my other vhs star wars movies.

Why not just put a random VHS in the box? (you don’t actually intend to watch it on tape, do you?)
I totally watched it on tape !

‘Rogue One: The Birth of Hope’…

www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpSb8Y_8hr8 - an 11 minute video at the Storytellers youtube channel

The blurb: ‘This video essay examines how ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ symbolically bridges the tonal divide between ‘Revenge of the Sith’, and A New Hope. In doing so, I uncover the underlying archetypal ascension tale that drives the story towards the original saga.’
 

^ Thought it quite interesting and well worth a watch; some good insights and intriguing interpretations too.

Nice artwork mate 😃

HMV in the UK are doing Rogue One on blu ray for £9.99 - with a new / different sleeve cover than before:-

Well done indeed. Having seen it many times, I thought I’d caught most of the deeper symbolisms. However, one that seems to have gone right over my head is when Chirrut yells to Jyn “The strongest starts have hearts of Kyber”. It hadn’t occurred to me that he was speaking about her as well as to her. I like the idea that he’s attempting to enlighten her with the knowledge of her own inner strength.

I miss many symbolisms in films - I did get a few of the Rogue One’s though - but a decent video like that always helps (me anyway 😃) I also find it adds that little extra to the characters too upon later viewings.
 

I’ll give that Storytellers video channel a watch - seems they’ve been around a while and have covered quite a range of films and tv. I found their Terminator video to be decent and quite insightful too.

Whoever did that did a good job of merging the screencaps.

Nah, sloppy one, as you can see the seams. “I know because it’s me.” Adjusting light levels would take more than a couple of minutes I had to spare…

I have always had plenty of ideas, and groaned that most of SW merchandise is cheap, unimaginative cash grab.

Next: I want an animated screensaver like what they have on that screen:

Kind of TRONish, don’t you agree? I love how most R1 displays are a bit 1980s sci-fi style (read: somewhat dated by todays standards).

Looks like the Walmart exclusive North American cover.

Why are you guys still talking about this movie when everyone knows it’s a terrible movie compared to ROTS and unlike ROTS no one will care about it in the future?

That’s Mala’s opinion mate - and she’s welcome to it - despite seemingly, and somewhat desperately, trying to portray her opinions as some sort of fact.

(as long as Mala doesn’t carry on repeating this across the site, or is baiting / antagonizing / trolling others with it - especially after being asked to stop doing just that - which I am sure she wouldn’t do…)

Oh, dude, come on, be serious 😃 We’re on a forum where some opinions about some movies are considered facts (such as “PT = crap”, “Disney Wars = gold”) and never realy opened for debating. Dare to say that a PT entry is better than any of the new Disney movies and you’ll get a full crowd repeating you “you’re wrong, you cant’ say that, you’re mad, blablabla”.

As I said you’re welcome to any opinion - and that is welcome and encouraged. I would suggest looking deeper into other members’ opinion of the PT, and recent SW releases - you’ll find a mixed bag of differing opinions. Yet, as the title of the site is what it is - many are more fans of the OT. The ‘you’re wrong, you can’t say’ crowd aren’t as vocal these days - and usually state their reason why regardless (and will be asked to explain further, if not).

Your opinion is valued.

and yet you spent a fair bit of time in Rogue One fan edit threads on a film that in your opinion with ‘No story, no characters, no emotion, nothing (emptiness at its best)’ and ‘in a few years from now people won’t really watch R1 anymore…’ and even contributed to…

Yeah, fanediting is fun and I welcome and respect any attempt to make a bad movie something better and watchable, especially in the SW universe. Some people managed that with TPM and AOTC, so it’s possible with R1 as well. Besides I really do like most of the faneditors around here that happen to be very cool and interesting people, so if I want to contribute I believe I do whatever I want. Or is it against this forum policy ? Would it be better for you that everyone on this forum thinks this exact same thing about each SW entry (each time an “non” orthodox ranking is published the exact same members eract immediately the exact same way… every fucking time, like some kind of “Thought Police”) ? I’m wondering 'cause I can’t remember when you called Frink’s and others excessive behaviors on this matter trolling as well… (edit: hum… maybe that one time recently but that all I can remember)

In case you missed the point, it was you spend a fair bit of time in fan edit thread for a film ‘no story, no characters, no emotion, nothing (emptiness at its best)’ - and other negative opinions you have expressed towards it. Though thank you for the fan edit explanation - it seemed to me a little strange that someone who dislikes something a fair bit would spend time in threads about it - yet cool, nice one.

The ‘Thought Police’, preferring everyone be the same? Against forum policy? non orthodox ranking? Frink’s behaviours? -
What on earth are you talking about?

If you have any issues then please let one of the moderators know via PM - as you’ve always been welcome to do.

(as long as Mala doesn’t carry on repeating this across the site, or is baiting / antagonizing / trolling others with it - especially after being asked to stop doing just that - which I am sure she wouldn’t do…)

Last time I checked I was the one being trolled/provoked every f****** time and you know it, but… anyway 😉

I’ve seen members provoke you - yes, and I’ve asked them to stop - in public or via PM. I’ve also seen you do some provoking too. Yet to the point I was making - I’m sure that’s not going to continue, is it? And you can always contact a mod via PM if you this occurs again - or for any other issues/problems.
 

To the overall point of my post - which you seemingly missed in a rush for a post of indignation towards me in your fanediting paragraph… you are welcome to your opinion and it is valued - though try and keep this oft-repeated opinion from appearing across the board, ie AdyWan’s thread. It’s shame when their threads get sidetracked with shite like this - they contribute a lot, and are cool and interesting people, no? (that’s rhetorical - don’t feel the need to answer).

Anyway, back to Rogue One…

^ cheers mate - though I have a feeling you’re about to get a few PMs from others explaining why they feel this is not the case 😃

Probationary period? I thought I had tenure! Doh! 😉

Anyway, back to Rogue One…

^ from the ‘Art Of Rogue One’

Mate - you have nothing to feel bad about in the slightest. My post is a just a reminder that there are many differing opinions and points of view - and somewhat jokingly that 'Val may about to be informed as to some of them 😃

The old saying… ‘you can’t please all the people all of the time’? should be attached to a mod’s screen before the day starts 😃

Though can we get back to Rogue One, please 😃

I noticed last night watching Empire that one snowspeeder pilot’s callsign was Rogue Two, but there was no Rogue One. Maybe there’s a retcon out there in the canon that no one uses that name in honor of the original Rogue One? Just a thought, and probably wrong.

^^ Cool. I like that.
Watched this for the second time last night. I feel about the same about it as I did leaving the theater back in February. It’s cool and fun. First act should be cut down and simplified. Darth Vader lava planet scene is funny for the wrong reasons and should have been left out. Third act is great.
