Perhaps not, but it would be a lot of fun! That's a great looking print too.
So it's ok to sell these things on ebay now? I thought it was "illegal" to own them.

We are looking into some more references. There is a derann 8mm possibility.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but what are you hoping to use this print for? A color reference?
I think this new color palette is going to make these movies a lot less fatiguing on the eyes to watch

The Executor Super Star Destroyer in that picture is 49 inches long!!!

Too bad you didn't stumble across this on the road, it might've helped!

I'm digging these colors.
Me too, they're looking much more natural and less "cartoony" than t he originals. I'd like to see if you can do something to the naboo battle scenes to make the grass look less like a cartoon.
Freakin' awesome. How do you display something that big?
russs15 said:
Wow, it's huge! I had no idea it was so big! Awesome work!
Yeah the site works fine for me too. I'm really enjoying the updates.
I guess I'm a boy, cause I have no clue what this is about! :P
A friend of mine is adding music and sound fx to the audio books of the thrawn trilogy to make it more like a radio drama. I should see if he'll join this forum.
As for your project, it sounds neat, but is it ok legally to release home made audiobooks of those novels?

But my number one must read suggestion would be Dark Times. It was the follow up series to Republic and is set between ROTS and ANH. The inspiration behind it was Obi-wan's line, "Before the dark times, before the Empire..." And believe me, the title does live up to its name. The writing by Randy Stradley and the art by Doug Wheatley is top notch. I honestly regard them as this generation's Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll start with that one. There's so much Star Wars material out there it's kind of hard to know where to start. It's like standing at the bottom of a mountain and trying to figure out how to climb it.
I haven't read a star wars comic since the original marvel series. Any suggestions on some to catch up on?
While we're discussing projectors (sorry to be off topic) but I've always wondered: how do the digital versions get sent to theaters? Are they on harddrives? They must be huge files, right?

It's been speculated Vader prevents Boba from shooting Chewie in ESB because Threepio is on his back, but that's a stretch. A Dark Horse comic does have Vader recognize him, and he gives the order to have the blasted droid put in the cell with Chewie.
I have wondered if Artoo can see Obi Wan's ghost...
Vader is ok with killing younglings, a planet full of people, his old besty Ben and his own son (the last remaining remnant of padme) but he's sympathetic to a droid that he left without hesitation as a kid?? I dunno...
SilverWook said:
The Tusken's reputation is such they are "framed" for the Jawa slaughter in the original film. Why the stormtroopers want to avoid being fingered for local murders when the Empire is blowing up entire planets is anyone's guess. ;)
That's a really good point, I never thought of that before.
I know it's been said a million times but to me the unforgivable inconsistency is the presence of R2 and 3p0. R2 spends a lot of time with Kenobi and he has no memory of him in ep iv? Vader sees 3po later and he doesn't recognize him? It was so unnecessary to bring in Chewbacca, Greedo, Boba, Jabba etc. Where was baby Han and Lando? At least they were spared.

3.5 million for 30 seconds.
They dropped that much for a commercial and they can't afford to fix the originals??? Aaaargh...
The trilogy that chronologically followed the PT (I'm talking about OT, even though it came first of course) only referenced the PT by mentioning that vader used to be a jedi. There's no mention at all of qui gonn or mace or dooku or battle droids or even clones. And that's what, twenty years after? Why would something fifty years after talk about these things?

General Grievous
Nearly any possible potential fear of Grievous is eliminated as soon as he doubles over to begin hacking and wheezing...
Interesting point about that: in the original clone wars cartoon, the mini series one, the end of the series showed Grevious kidnapping Palpatine and it led directly to the beginning of ROTS. In the cartoon one of the Jedi (Mace? Yoda? I can't remember) uses the force to crush Grevious's midsection. I always felt like that was why he was hacking. Otherwise it seems pretty random.
Let's not get angry. Anger leads to hate, or suffering, or something or another.

I think Samuel L. Jackson just didn't get what he was expecting in the PT and is jumping at the chance to be involved in a truly good Star Wars movie;)
Maybe he can return more machine now than man...
I actually don't see how he or Ewan can return unless maybe it's as ghosts, in which case there would a lot of force ghosts running around (we already have 3)

Disney rep:
"Lucasfilm has recently come forward and made the announcement that due to our modest budget and the short notice with which we have had to prepare for the next episode in the continuing adventures of the sprawling Star Wars saga, the new sequel trilogy will be in the comedy genre. This represents an exciting new take on the Star Wars saga and a new, fresh direction for the franchise as a whole."
Makes sense, the prequels were comedies... wait, what? They weren't?!?

You should see what people spend on action figures

If I had the cash I'd be sorely tempted to get that lego falcon too. And the lego death star, it's pretty rockin'.

Oh wow, I am SO going to visit that when it's done. It's not all that far from where I live, a day trip.

Blasphemy!
I totally agree, and in a way I'm sad that all the new Lego lines seem to discourage the kind of play we had as kids (I'd build the police car or whatever but soon after the pieces would all end up in my lego bucket so I could build other things). I don't think kids do that with their star wars legos or their harry potter legos or whatever. So philosophically I agree but practically speaking if someone puts that much time money and effort into building an xwing and they want to handle it they're probably not going to take it apart.
