Really? I don’t think you’ve met my friend Laserdisc. The 1993 THX LD mix can even give a modern home theater system a workout.

I was just going to say that—I think the '95 Faces LDs (same sound as '93 LDs) sound fantastic, in all respects (including the score).

This is pretty interesting. I was aware of the fact that Luke was Starkiller in the shooting script, but I had no idea they actually shot scenes with it.

I wish this would be released, I’d love to see it.

I guess Mark’s memory is selective–he didn’t seem to recall shooting the lightsaber construction scene for ROTJ. 😉

To be fair, that scene isn’t really him constructing it anyway, he’s making a small tweak at most. He might have been assuming people were talking about a scene where he builds it all from scratch.

🎵HAL and Dom polishing eeeedits!🎶

And here I was getting a hankering for a thin crust spinach and feta from Domino’s…

Picked up a 12hr night shift for some extra OT

You can’t post unless you’re at work? :p

That was posted the night before, when I was trying to stay up to at least 6am to get in gear for a 6pm-6am shift the next night.

But I do mostly post while I’m at work, come to think of it.

Not sure if missed joke or ignored it.

Completely missed. Not my finest moment.

“Play it again, 5am.”

Sorry for your sleeping troubles, but this is a high-quality post.

I try now and then.

Not only does everyone else reading this post know this is wrong, deep down you do too. Sorry chap.

You’re embarrassing yourself.

you ok my friend?

No, I’m not. But what does that have to do with anything? I also don’t appreciate being called a “friend.”

I’m not your friend, buddy!

I’ve never seen it, therefore it does not, in fact, exist.

KILL IT WITH FIRE

Yes, Erso was only involved in the superlaser. Specifically in getting the Kyber crystals to provide enough power for the laser to work, as his life’s work was in Kyber research.

 ![](image link goes here)

In canon, I don’t think Wookiees were used as slave labor for the first Death Star.

It goes like this:

1. Geonosians had the design, which they may or may not have created (at the very least they modified it).
2. The Republic stole the designs during the Battle of Geonosians.
3. A secret Republic war council authorized building it because they were convinced Count Dooku was building his own with another copy of the designs.
4. Orson Krennic was assigned to oversee the project (at least eventually).
5. Krennic knows that they need a Kyber expert to make it work and recruits Galen Erso, his old college buddy. Erso is not told of the nature of the work, just that it’s about providing more efficient energy for the Galaxy.
6. The Empire happens, and work continues. Geonosians are used as slave labor. They rebel and their world is sterilized in retaliation.
7. Erso figures out what’s really going on and escapes with his wife and daughter with the help of Saw Gererra.
8. Work stalls, Tarkin is assigned to oversee the project. Krennic is still in charge of the engineering aspect, Tarkin is basically his supervisor.
9. Rogue One happens.

I think that’s it, but it’s been a while since I read Catalyst, so I may have gotten a couple things wrong. Might check Wookieepedia later and make some corrections.

Catalyst goes into the Death Star origins a bit. The Republic stole the design from the Geonosians during the Clone Wars, and then used them as slave labor to build it. I don’t remember for certain, but I think it’s implied that the Geonosians got the design from someone else and claimed it was theirs. And it was mostly completed shortly after the war, but they couldn’t get the superlaser to work, hence Galen Erso’s work on Kyber crystals being so important to the project.

People have been saying it’s gorgeous up in the review thread. I won’t be able to pick it up until next week, unfortunately.

Honestly, no point badgering DE over it, considering he isn’t going to watch and pretty much never talks about it. Lot less annoying than if he was posting everyday about how Rian Johnson shat on his childhood and murdered Luke’s characterization and ate a baby and wore a lobster sweater once and how it’s clear that Mark Hamill hates him for that or whatever the shit.

Did that stuff happen in the movie?

If it did then I need to go grab a BD copy and give it a watch.

No, sorry for the confusion, Rian was the one who ate a baby and wore a lobster sweater.

Is the footage included in the behind-the-scenes featurettes?

Lobster sweater, yes. Baby eating, no (that’s here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BffVizCD3ew/?utm_source=ig_embed).

This is the greatest thing I’ve seen all day, and I actually kinda liked the Porgs.

Well in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also looking at this matter in a different way and without wanting to fight, and by trying to make it clear, and further by considering each and everyone’s opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say. Thank you for your patience

This post deeply offends me.

me too, lets burn the witch!

Quick, grab a duck and a scale! We have to be sure!

If such schools didn’t exist, a lot of wacky 80’s comedy films could never have been made.

A lot of those “wacky 80s comedies” are less wacky and more rapey if you go back and watch them today.

You recently rewatched Revenge of the Nerds, too?

That movie was foremost in my mind when I typed that, but not recently, no.

Race and gender are not even remotely close to the same thing, Warbler. It’s not an equivalent comparison. That’s where the hangup is in this conversation.

Safety?

Try to imagine if you had been raped in high school. Just for starters.

So if I was a woman and was raped by a black student in highschool, would I be justified in wanting to go to a whites only school?

I honestly don’t know how to respond to this.

Not wanting to go to a school with the same gender that raped me is the same as not wanting to go to a school with the same race that raped me?

How does a race rape someone?

how does a gender rape someone?

So…in your imaginary scenario, you are not raped by a man or a woman, but by a black person?

Is this the first instance of Frink taking an off-the-cuff Warbler joke too seriously?

JEDIT: Or maybe I just wrongly assumed it was a joke since I made a similar one at the same time…

Oh, so a gender can, but a race can’t? This is 2018, Frink! Equality!

Those aren’t even the same thing at all and it baffles me that you’re making the comparison.
