Bossk’s outfit is a reused Doctor Who prop. So what? Wasn’t stolen or anything, considering they shot most of Empire in the U.K.

That is pretty cool.
Those suits first appeared in First Men In the Moon (1964)
Where were you in '77?
Having a look back through The Art Of The Empire Strikes Back book. It mentioned that medical droid 2-1B has a human brain. Freaky.
A robot with a human brain and a vintage microphone for a mouth. A strange creature indeed.
^ 2-1B’s mouth always reminded me of a vintage drive in movie speaker

At first I was like “that looks nothing like a drive-in movie speaker.” Then I remembered that the only exposure I’ve had to drive in movie speakers is from the Flinstone’s intro. There’s a drive in active near where I grew up, but they have have short-range FM now.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.

It’s one of these (not the exact model)
^ yeah , that looks even more like what I was thinking of in my mind’s eye .Good find .
The Blu-Rays have been out for almost a decade.
I’m sure there will be a quick cash grab set of the same old masters once the Fox Deal is finalized ahead of Episode IX next year.

Gah, I never made this particular connection until I happened to be tweaking my ROGUE ONE cutlist today! - Just when I’d reached a point where I was finally able to blot out the horror of the ROTJ:SE’s ‘Jedi Rocks’ addition from my memory, I suddenly realised I will always be reminded of it whenever I watch this movie now, lol…
Ha!
Images are coming up broken…

It’s screenshots of the ruins of the giant statue of a Jedi visible on Jeddha in Rogue One.
You know, the Jedi Rocks

haha! I busted some bubbles with that joke when the trailer was released.
Man, here we are in mid November and they haven’t announced anything special for the Christmas season. I was sure we’d get 4K releases of at least TFA and R1 to compensate for the lack of a new movie, but it’s been awfully quiet for awfully long. Could it really be that nothing at all will drop during the holidays?
Releasing the Ewok movies or the Droids/Ewoks cartoons uncut would be sweet, but Disney doesn’t seem to give a rat’s ass about their own back catalog these days.

It was a mistake making lightsabers a technological weapon that anyone with opposable digits can turn on and use.

The only time I know of that happening is when Han slices open the tauntaun and I’m ok with it.
Finn in TFA. But also… Luke in Star Wars

If this doesn’t make you smile today, nothing else will!
