Just the pic. It’s 1 3/4".

I’m ready for the new film. I’ll be wearing this when I go see it. Just got it today. The VP of my dept brought it back from Disneyland for me. He’s a huge Star Wars nerd.

If anyone is in a city with an Alamo Drafthouse, they’re doing another collaboration with Mondo for commemorative glasses. They designed the commemorative glasses for Rogue One also. I was a day late on those, they went quickly. Anyway, if you’re a collector of this sort of thing, here’s a link to the pic.

I’m not posting the pic directly because it contains a spoiler we haven’t really discussed here. I know this is a spoiler thread but this is a big one.

Our own CarboniteSolo did some smart work on textless posters (though keeping the main logo) here:-

They really need to turn over one-sheet design to people outside the studio. That may be the best Star Wars one-sheet since the original Tom Jung. I love that it’s a take on McQuarrie’s 1976 The Star Wars.

Fully agree mate - sometimes simplicity is still best 😃

A shame there aren’t a few more retro style/based posters for the new films - a welcome nod for us… erm, older… fans… 😉

There is a studio here in Austin that does just that.

Impossible to go through them all in a post, but they’ve commissioned some spectacular pieces through the years. I’ll try to find some of the Star Wars pieces and update this post.

Don’t know what to say. I guess we had know it wasn’t exactly going look like a traditional Doctor costume…

Traditional? The Doctor’s outfits through the 54 years have been one of the least consistent aspects (which is, I think, a great thing). Cartoonish, leather jacket, understated, fur coat, Victorian, hip - they’ve been all over the spectrum.

To me, Jodie’s outfit looks fantastic. She’s a very beautiful woman and they’ve struck a great balance between mysterious time traveler and feminine style. Those high-waisted pants with a peek of shin, the partially tied boots, the long coat, all of it looks perfect to me.

G - Grand Moff Tarkin

Man, Tarkin is going to be tough to top. Fantastic.

Going to be honest–
Besides X-men, what popular movies/ franchises does 20th century own? This is actually a serious question.

A few more to add to Wook’s list, just from my personal collection:

Patton

Cast Away

Mrs Doubtfire

Home Alone

Great stuff. Looking forward to following and trying to guess each character.

They’re saying the same thing here. On\off

For me, that’s one of the best Rogue One fan-made pieces I’ve seen yet. I don’t mean fan-made as a knock, by the way. I just don’t know how else to quantify the artwork of someone who doesn’t work for Disney directly or who’s work isn’t an official one-sheet. There are some craaazy talented artists out there.

I’m partial to Dan Mumford’s style. I’ll try to find his Rogue One piece.

‘Houston Astros win their first World Series after Game 7 victory over LA Dodgers’…

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/nov/01/houston-astros-win-world-series-los-angeles-dodgers-game-7-baseball

Well in the Astros.

Hell yeah!!!
It’s been a craaaazy stressful post season, but we dispatched the Red Sox, the Yankees, and now the Dodgers - a rival of ours since I was a little kid. What a game. Still hasn’t sunk in yet.

Just saw a trailer during the World Series. Great shot of Luke stepping into the cockpit of the Falcon.

That is awesome!

I’d buy that and wear it proudly.

Just finished it. Really dug it. For me, Jim Lee illustrating a Frank Miller story equals awesome. No spoilers, but it’s Miller’s take on the origin of Bruce and Dick becoming the team we know. Typical of Miller, it’s darker and more adult. There are a handful graphic novels I reread every year or more. This one just joined the list.
2013, 222 pages.

Pretty damn cool. I had no idea high end pinball machines were so expensive.

This is my only ever SW t-shirt:-

That’s a great one. If I don’t get the sweater, I’ll go with two shirts. I’ve seen a couple that I like.

Yes, it totally has a Space Invaders vibe. I’m digging it also. Our company has a Christmas sweater competition day every December, with prizes to the best and/or most garish sweater for each floor. I feel like I’ll be in the running. We have a few nerds in the office. One fellow has a Chewie figure that must be 12 to 18 inches high on his desk. Another guy in Engineering has a one-sheet on his wall. I figure I’ll get their votes for sure.

Thanks! I figured it was well known. Yeah, the shirt is pretty much a given. It will be my first Star Wars shirt ever. I know - late to the party. 😉

I’ve been looking at shirts and sweaters lately and found two I really dig. One is a Christmas sweater (not shown) and the other is this T-shirt. Both have a ship I don’t recognize, at least not as a silhouette. I’m assuming this is due to not having seen Empire or Return in a long time. No doubt, as prominent as it is on both shirts, the board will know right away.

What ship is this?

Christmas sweater detail;

I’m a bit of a fanboy, so I bought it immediately. Digging it.

This is a very interesting podcast taking a deep dive into the score. I thought I’d posted it already, but damn if I can find it. Anyway, very interesting stuff. I suspect I wasn’t the only one who felt\heard the cues back to the 1977 masterpiece of Williams, which I wore out the summer of 77 (and for all the years since). We’ve all heard the 77 score thousands of times probably, so I enjoy hearing analysis of the score. It’s an hour long, with the music examples starting around 15 minutes in.

There are a few rare (and claimed ‘never seen before’) pictures of Carrie Fisher from behind the scenes of Empire Strikes Back here (and a few items for sale at an upcoming auction):-

http://www.thegeektwins.com/2017/10/11-wonderful-things-from-carrie-fisher.html

From the I haven’t watched Empire in 20 years file; I don’t even remember Treat Williams being in the movie. Some nice pictures of Carrie for sure. It’s always nice to be reminded of how beautiful she was. It will be strange watching her last film two months from now.
