Rarely does a thread have a soundtrack and yet…

When the first Death Star is destroyed a large section lands on Yavin 4 during the medal giving ceremony killing many Bothans.

Thanks guys. I guess im hoping that people with old Myspace accounts will dust them off and use them. An older Internet vibe before it became fashionsble to hate again.

Strange as it may seem but MySpace isn’t entirely dead.

When Zuckerberg announced his removal of any pretense of moderation on Faceboot I started to look for something else.

I have replaced twitter with bluesky and I feel all the better for it but I couldn’t find anything Facebookesque.

I assumed MySpace was long gone but exists it does. It’s just very empty.

All the music feeds have gone, the people have gone but the site remains.

It might be fun to reactivate or sign up to colonise the space.

I’m using mine as an online art gallery at the moment. I could see it as a fun way of journaling or publishing poetry etc.

If doing the same or similar interests you I recommend you avoid the app. It is run by an ad company and every swipe and every four key entries will trigger an very long unskippable advert for rubbish phone games. Some were so long tgey had mini ads interrupting the maxi ads.

Use a browser with an ad blocker. Brave is a good example I guess. I was pleasantly suprised by the old school charm of it.

My edit has been on the back burner but occasionally game out how to address things I want to address.

Changing the podrace announcer was a dream out of my reach but with AI it would be easy.

This is not perfect (link good for 2 days) but it’s pretty good:

That’s brilliant.

Last night I had one of those classic, ‘dreaming that you wake up’ dreams.
In the dream I wake up and make my bed. I then go downstairs I walk to the far end of the hallway. The electricity is out so I am in pitch darkness. I suddendly bump into a giant but still unseen humanoid form. 7 or 8ft tall. The being shunts me towards the door with its body weight alone, it never lays hands on me. I try to talk to it but get no reply. Just being pushed along. In fear I wake up. Only I still havent really woken up. Im back in a house which is nothing like my real home but using dream logic I know it is my home somehow. I can hear loud electrical sparks from the garden. There is a work bench. A wired device that looks like cylindrical drill or an electrical screwdriver is overloading. I open the sliding glass doors to the garden and carefully switch off the powerpoint from a free standing console. For some reason the previously empty garden is full of covered workbenches and each has somebody working away with a handtool on some project. One guy, a Canadian with wavy white hair and a beard asks if I switched off the malfunctioning power point and explains that he had tried to earlier but he could get close enough. I then wake up with my alarm…or do I?

He might come back. We dont know whats going on in his life. I hope it’s nothing bad.

Is the bluesky account genuine? I noticed its not been used yet. If you needed someone in a B-wing Bingowings seemed an obvious choice😁 maybe I could change my name to Xingowings. Though I do look more like an Ewok at the moment.

Great work as always. The colours really pop.

SSWR has done this before. Maybe he has a lot on his plate. Things happen out of the blue. I hope he is well. I really enjoy our conversations. He has developed his skills greatly over the years. AOTC is the most problematic prequel. Not as disappointing as TPM but narratively much more important. It needs the sort of work SSWR was doing like no other Star Wars film does… And he is a good friend.

Yes I tried sending funds but It won’t let me. To be honest PayPal feels more dodgy these days.

It has been suggested elsewhere but now that we have more material maybe having another try for an edit where there is only one Death Star. It would mean swapping the ROTJ look for the Rogue One look. The attack in ANH only slowing down the construction so Yavin can be evacuated which is finally completed in ROTJ.

Superheaven called.

It’s Jackie Chan not Jackie Han.

Merry Christmas

When the stormtroopers break open the door to the guard post over from the hanger they all knock their heads and pass out allowing Threepio and Artoo to stroll passed their concussed bodies.

I wish they would update the digital actors. Tarkin has dated like Jabba97

Were there any weird cropping of frames in ROTJ releases like those corrected by Ady in ESB:R?

The new one looks more sandy. No wonder Vader stayed on the ship.

I’ve just finished watching and while it isn’t perfect it was clearly tarketed by the AntiWoke brigade. I would remove the established characters completely and go for a more linear approach if I were to turn it into a movie. Some of the younger Jedi give less than stellar performances. I would trim them out. The senator subplot goes nowhere so I’d remove that. Remove all location names. It was so off putting.

btw, great color ady!

Many thanks.

Very vibrant collars.

No worries. Sometimes a pause to think how a difficult idea could be realised generates new thinking.
