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.

Those suits first appeared in First Men In the Moon (1964)

^ 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.

Having a look back through The Art Of The Empire Strikes Back book. It mentioned that medical droid 2-1B has a human brain. Awesome.

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…

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.
