How is a poster filled by the Death Star and Darth Vader and covered in Stormtroopers and Tie Fighters not Star Wars-y?
compared to all previous posters
Also to this thread, they released the final trailer (which was a bit spoilery to my taste so one time was enough for me) but looked very nice, and the theatrical poster which isn’t very Star Wars-y compared to all previous posters:
That one TIE looks like a two-winged TIE Phantom.
Batman Returns added but is adjustable. I forgot to count the days that passed.
I have to add, that FOTR: SEE BD has so bad color grading that it’s unwatchable for me. As a film, that is the best of the SEEs though.
I don’t think they suck but the theatrical versions are better as films. Like said, they are tighter and they flow better. The EEs may better represent the book but purely as films they feel more awkward and drag way too much, pretty much like the book itself where you could cut like 200 pages and it wouldn’t hurt the story itself at all.

Captain America: Civil War
Does the movie happen in the 90s? I haven’t seen it.
It doesn’t, but the movie revolves around the date.
Big spoilers though so I won’t say more.
I’m trying to list movies that actually happen on a certain date so you could “watch it as it happens” as a yearly commemorative. So if the movie only refers to a certain date but is happening in different time unfortunately it doesn’t fit…

Captain America: Civil War

Batman added. Funnily enough, there are newspapers shown in the film twice but the first paper was from Nov. 14th and the second Nov. 7th. I put the film on 7th.
Friday the 13th Part 3 takes place on July 14th, and The Final Chapter takes place on July 15th, supposedly.
Updated using the help from Friday the 13th wiki, thanks!
Update.
Should these be in the more spoiler thread…? I mean, I don’t even know what all the characters are called except the one mentioned in the trailer.
(Also I wouldn’t doubt that the translators made their own comments some times. After all they did some pretty extensive and elaborate editing on the annual albums, even going so far as to extend the panel art. Also in the Norwegian comics, the text informing the reader about the continuity, is literally just one line typed onto the blank margin atop the splash-page. Example)
You may be right. I don’t have any of my comics at my place so can’t check them out.
(At least this one makes more sense to the plot. Although it really weird-looking, it has both Baron Tagge and one of the Omega Frost towers. And the title (Danish here, don’t know the Swedish or Finish one) translates to “Frozen Stars”, which makes a lot more sense than the ambiguous “Last Warning” that Norway got. Also google translates the Finish title as “Glacial Ambush”. I’m not sure how accurate that is, but it still makes more sense than the Norwegian one.)
This might be a somewhat odd thing to ask about, but to you know/remember how the Finish comics, that is the monthly comics, notified the readers as to the continuity of the stories, if at all? I went and checked the comics that I have in my collection, and pretty much all of them have a small sentence at the top of the splash-page that will say something to the effect of “this story takes place between [ESB] and [ROTJ]” or at least say something like “shortly after evacuating the Hoth base…” I’m curious as to what the Finish comics did once you mentioned that you got them all in a random order as well in the early 80’s.
That probably is the literal translation but it’s more like “freezing ambush” or “ice-cold ambush”.
We got the exact same covers for the SW comic as in your link except the last one in 1986. I think they were just translated from English, I highly doubt that the translator made his own comments into the comics. As you can see from the covers, the “random” order is the same order Denmark got based on the covers. They started after TESB, then went after ROTJ, then again after TESB and then continuing where they left off after ROTJ.
This is pretty awesome. ILM did a SW Concept Art Challenge to find new artists to work with. They had each artist complete a series of assignments over a period of time.
Click on each of the images on the homepage and you can see all of the submissions from each artist.
Cool stuff. Nice wallpaper material.
Finland got the same treatment. About 10 years ago I tried to figure out what Marvel numbers were released here and found out how they did the albums. Kind of funny. ROTJ was the last album, then they started to publish the comic itself and the stories were like they were meant to be (althoug in completely random release order).
Interesting, that’s exactly what they did in Norway.
I know that Denmark and Sweden published more-or-less the same comics as we got in Norway, and from what I’ve gathered online they were all edited and distributed by the same company in Denmark.
I wonder if Finland might have done the same.
Did you actually get any of these Finish annuals/albums?
I’m curious as to what they look like.
Yeah, it was the same. People were asking for more stories and the answer always was “depends on the distributor in Denmark”. Sweden only got maybe a couple of more stories that weren’t released here that I know of.
I have all comics released here. You got some weird cover art for one of the album, otherwise they were the same. I didn’t find any site to quickly show you all of them but here are four of them: http://www.overlook.fi/lehtihaku?keys=tähtien+sota&tid1=All

It was great when people used to have artistic license which made their stuff unique and interesting. Now every little detail is controlled and people get angry if R2’s panels don’t match. Ugh.
This auction site has the best scans for the first one:

I already had it but thought it might be different version. But maybe it’s the same one looking more closely, the difference in detail is huge.
Does anyone have clean versions from these:
Check customaniacs or movieposterdb
I already linked them.
If someone sees the 3D BD cover without text, please share.
That could happen, since disney owns lucasfilm now.
What?
The shot of Rey going down that hill with her theme accompanying it is unforgettable to me. I think we can all agree that that shot was incredible.
Yes but then it ends awkwardly when the sled stops. I don’t know why but cinematically that shot seemed weird for me.
Nice grouping!
sure is! Yoda’s is my favorite kind of crazy!
That’s funny. The prequel guys ruin it though, and Luke seems to be sad about this. Might have to use the idea though…
Apologies if already posted - but here is the Celebration Extended Version of the ABC ‘Sizzle Reel’ for Rogue One (including new shots) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjALLJwjUQw
This one crosses my spoiler line, won’t be clicking that.
Yeah, I’m not interested in a Boba Fett movie. First of all, the guy was supposed to be this silent hunter type, if they make a movie about him it would not be the OT Boba Fett, it would be the fan service Boba Fett. A bounty hunter movie would be fun to see though but not with anyone we already know. I’d like to see some Nar Shaddaa type underground world with sleazy streets etc.
