Funny that one. That would make Rey Luke’s aunt. Since she is both the daughter and granddaughter of Palpatine. And if Anakin was Palpatine’s son then Rey is Vader’s sister. It would make Ben Solo related to her which is incest.
I haven’t played those in so many years i had Halo 1 and 2. I also really liked Reach. I thought Halo 4 and 5 sucked, 3 was kind of a mixed bag.
The newer games the single player story mode/campaign is mostly an afterthought. They put everything into the online features.
I don’t care about MMO or online, it wasn’t why i was a fan of Halo in the first place.
I think i played Halo remastered and completed the first one. Started the second remake and lent it out to my brother who never returned the game.
Final Fantasy VIII remastered was extremely disappointing no 16:9 mode no skipping cutscenes, no voice acting. Looked like SD cdrom ps1 quality with some uprez. The game might have been amazing in 1999 not so much now.
I spent 40 bucks to buy the import, what a waste of money no wonder it didn’t get a US release.
4:3 1080P with black borders on all sides,lol.
I figured i would ask here where i can look for the HBO airing. I’m not looking for the standard airing premiere with Mark Hamill hosting.
Isn’t there a Laserdisc like this which also has the mono mix. I think it was the first version and had no digital audio. I cannot confirm whether it was time compressed but it probably was.
Final Fantasy VII remake and that was like a year ago.
I’ve ordered Final Fantasy VIII remaster and Mass Effect Legendary edition. Cannot wait to play them.
If my Xbox hadn’t died i’d probably not have bought the remaster of the Mass Effect trilogy, and would have been able to play Kotor 1 and 2, my digital collection of Metal Gear Solid HD. And probably one of my favorite games ever Star Wars Battlefront 2. The original not the one that came out in the Disney era.
The making of Star Wars wouldn’t have been possible without the work of Charley Lippincott and his contemporary interviews which he was never paid royalties for on the sale of that book, not when Lucas owned Lucasfilm and not under Disney. A man written out of the history of Star Wars much like Marcia Lucas and Gary Kurtz.
RIP Charley.
Why would secret hideout be involved they are Alex Kurtzman’s production studio, a bunch of other details don’t add up.
CBS digital always does their own restorations TOS and TNG are both at 2K. None of the new shows are being shot at 4K. We are supposed to believe that Deep Space Nine is now going to be in 4K. I don’t believe it.
Considering how even the new shows are being finished in 2k, and the sweet spot for television for Trek has been 2K, i don’t give this any credibility.
I thought it was Obi Wan’s pride and hubris as said in the novelization of Return of the Jedi.
He thought he could teach Anakin just as well as Yoda had taught him.
Then we get to the prequels and Obi Wan’s Master isn’t even Yoda it is Qui Gon.
I also thought it was a slow seduction to evil. Not a turn on a dime. Not murder younglings or lose Padme.
I’ve read some of the books. The tone is all over the place, the art is inconsistent, and the stories aren’t at all memorable. But as far as disposable entertainment goes they aren’t all that bad.
I did like the original Aphra run, and the second Darth Vader series. And i have read a good amount of the new main Star Wars series, Vader Down, and the screaming citadel.
Haven’t read the post Empire Strikes Back books yet. To be honest i’m waiting for post Return of the Jedi, that was my favorite era. And yeah i did read Shattered Empire.
I’ve read Rise of Kylo Ren as well. I’ve read The Poe Dameron and Phasma books.
I kind of liked the adaptations of Force Awakens and Last Jedi, and was upset when the comic version of Rise of Skywalker wasn’t published.
The rogue one comic was fantastic it was better than the novel even.
I’ve never read that one. I’ve read Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, And Julius Caesar. And Henry the V.
Haven’t read a midsummer nights dream, the tempest, or Macbeth. Yet.
I know what you mean i have the 2004 set in storage and the gout 2006 2 DVD fullscreen sets in storage as well. Along with the 2011 blu-ray.
The only Macklunky 2020 copy i have is digital. I don’t have the 4K/blu-ray set, i only paid like 30 for the 1080P remaster digitally. The best buy set was going to cost me 250 and i couldn’t justify that.

Some of the shots are just needless tinkering like when Lucas would change a building exterior or the way the camera moves in a shot. If your going to do a “special edition” a least what is changed should be an improvement.
Like the zoomed in Falcon cockpit interior to tighten a shot in the Special Edition, what was the purpose of that?
Or when he goes about fixing a continuity error like with Ian as the Emperor in the reshoot, only to not bother to keep it within continuity by having him wear his Revenge of the Sith makeup. Not bothering to have the makeup artists and costumers get his ROTJ look right for one redone scene. Its incredibly lazy.
Or when he pasted Hayden on Shaw’s body instead of shooting a replacement plate of new footage.
Is the Clone Wars movie on Disney plus i had no idea what thread i should ask in for this question. The Blu Ray is long out of print and expensive.
I might watch Star Wars 1977 on May the 25th, probably 4K77.
Into the Spider-Verse. I really enjoyed this even if the animation style was kind of jarring in places.
Very comic book like. I liked that aspect but it takes getting used to.
The big script thing Lucas has peddled isn’t true. The original Star Wars sequel was called Star Wars II by Leigh Brackett, and Darth Vader wasn’t Luke’s father.
In fact if you read the story conference for Splinter of the Mind’s eye, everything we’ve been told about the Saga of Darth Vader goes out the window.
The script from 1974 Vader was just some general, and Valorum was the Sith Knight. Luke was an old General.
I’m glad at least the secret history of Star Wars is out there for people to read who were only given a certain point of view.
Star Wars was toyetic from the beginning. Lucas in the best deal ever, got the sequel and merchandising rights for nothing from FOX in lieu of not asking for a million dollar directing fee.
They had no faith in the film and thought it was a turkey. Their short sighted desire to save money let Lucas walk away with billions of dollars.
The windows added made it look more sci-fi and like a space station and not a soundstage, i’m fine with those. The Wampa shot is crap and removes the tension from that scene. The cgi in general isn’t better than the original model photography just like Star Wars Special Edition.
The Jango Fett Boba Fett and Revenge of the Sith Emperor being added in 2005 are all garbage. At least the 97 is Wingreen and Clive Revill.
You mean the the Salkind tv cut of Superman II, That isn’t as far as i know in HD. I’d love to be told otherwise, but Warner Archive did The Extended tv cut for Superman and the international cut of Supergirl. They never did Superman II, III or IV.
Then why was Vader being a Sith explicitly mentioned in a deleted scene of the original film. Why was he called the Dark Lord of the Sith in both Lucas screenplay and the 1976 novelization.
Confusingly Tarkin seems to think Vader is the last of the Jedi in Star Wars.
The corruption of Palpatine’s predecessor was a lie to get him elected Chancellor and he tricked Padme into elevating him to such a position. Then he tricked Jar Jar into giving him emergency powers which he never intended to expire. Tricked the Jedi into a frame up of a treasonous coup to overthrow him with the help of Anakin. Just so he could wipe them out.
The prequel Jedi were really dumb, almost like the Spaceballs quote, evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
They keep doing dumb things like accepting the Clone Army, training with them becoming their military commanders when Palpatine was the leader of both sides of the war and had the same clone army created.
AND they keep saying the Dark Side clouds everything as they continue to do stupid stuff just because the plot requires it.
Universal doing the 4K of Howard before American Graffiti makes little sense, but i’m glad its coming out for the fans of that film.
I have to revisit the original Marvel Star Wars i haven’t read them since i bought the A Long Time Ago, volumes. Sadly they never finished the series. Return of the Jedi adaptation with the original colors wasn’t reprinted. The rest were faithful to the original print with facsimile colors by Digital Chameleon.
I think Marvel did another printing which is also “remastered” and isn’t the original colors. I have to see if the hardback volumes are the original in the complete Marvel years.
addendum:
Decided to get the Hardback reprinting of ROTJ comics adaptation just to see if its the original non recolored dark horse, or Disney versions. I wasn’t able to find any samples online beyond some youtube videos.
If it is indeed a facsimile of the original then i can consider my along time ago volumes and this printing complete the original run of comics in my collection, which i can read other than the comics themselves which are on newsprint and i don’t want to damage them.
I was able to affordably get the Complete Marvel Years volume 2 and 3. The first volume, volume 1, the one i really want is out of print. That one has every comic from Star Wars #1 and up til the end of the Empire Strikes Back adaptation. But its also going for for hundreds of dollars now not the 90 bucks it was going for. These are really nice hardback printings. But they are not reprinted at full size, for every book in the Omnibus.
Edit: finally got complete Marvel Years volume 3. This book is huge and impressive. And Jedi is indeed the original colors. The Cover gallery is disappointing though, no full page reproductions in a gallery style. I forgot how cool Lumiya’s first appearance was.
I did the same thing years and years ago. He liked the prequels more than the original films, and now its the opposite since he has grown up. He also is extremely opinionated and thinks the Last Jedi was the worst movie ever made because of what they did to Luke. Quite a turn to be honest since he liked Hayden Anakin and now Luke is his favorite and the unaltered OT.
My niece on the other hand really likes the Disney trilogy. And Rey. Really likes Mando and Baby Yoda, and Clone Wars and Ahsoka. She doesn’t really care about Luke, Han or Leia or any other Boomer characters. I explained its Gen X not boomer.
