I thought there were and they did?

JEDIT:Artoo’s panels are still black in the DS battle, but I always thought they turned black when in outer space for some reason.

And dead Artoo still has black panels when Luke returns to the base, supporting my theory. 😉

There must be a reason the Y-wings don’t have R2 units? Even the Kenner die cast toy has one.

I swear photos I’ve seen of the original models have them, but they could have been added later?

The design of the Y-Wing cockpits would make it impossible to see the R2 units behind the pilot even if they were there.

Not having droids in the backs of the Y-Wings during the Battle of Yavin is of course quite a glaring mistake that I wish wouldn’t have happened in the first place along with R2-D2’s black panels out in space in Star Wars.

is it unreasonable to consider the post-Lucas era of Star Wars fan fiction?

What about 1999 to 2005 was worth keeping?

My birth.

I don’t remember that in the prequels.

It was the standout scene.

MEDICAL DROID: “It’s a boy”
PADME: “I’ll name him Luke.”
DROID: “Sorry, that name is taken.”
PADME: “O, uh… Lucky?”
DROID: “Sorry, that name is taken.”
PADME: “Uh… LuckyGungan2001?”
DROID: “Name is available.”

Would make a good ideas for someone’s ROTS Edit that, mate - ‘she has lost the will to live’ 😉

That bunch of crazy kids working out of a warehouse in Van Nuys pioneering the FX tech that will rule the next two decades on impossible deadlines were only human. 😃
Artoo’s panels were black because the blue ones would have been transparent in front of the blue screen.

I know how awesome FX guys are. 😉 Having said that George Lucas could’ve fixed R2’s panels and the Y-Wings having no droids in the Special Edition of Star Wars and he didn’t. He’s a turd.

Hahaha! I actually got my name from a Lego Star Wars DVD that I used to watch a tonne. It was available, but I screwed up the confirmation email part and had to re-register, adding my birth year.

Argh you weren’t even alive for this.

I was! Barely, but I was.

I wasn’t alive for 9/11 either.

Turd? Shocking language.

…I’d expect something a lot stronger considering this place being dedicated to undoing his juvenile vandalised version of a film series.

dude, your sole purpose here seems to be spreading hatred. why’s that?

I strongly suggest you don’t repeat that again - and consider this a warning.

Unpopular opinion: Despite his unreasonable 0/10 ranking of Rogue One, I find Mala’s opinions to be interesting and fun to read.

I give it 2/10 now ! (don’t ask me why… maybe because I feel no SW should deserve 0… and I like the soundtrack, the visual, and even if it doesn’t make much sense at a story level, the Vader’s big scene is brillant).

Rogue One’s story doesn’t make much sense?!! WHAT THE FUCK! I’m gonna have to leave this forum because of the goddamn stupidity that you assholes spew from your shit-holes!!

Those are a couple of pretty big claims - especially for someone who’s just returned from some time away.

Yeah, I seem to recall him being called a lot worse in the 12 years I’ve been hanging around here. 😉

Does anyone know what “Star Wars Special Edition” is being referred to in this letters-page from Star Wars Weekly #10 in 1978?

Naah, it’s proof that it has always been George’s Original Vision™ to make the SEs and bury the theatrical cuts.
