They showed the very first Casino Royale this summer here on TV, I watched almost half of it and it was surprisingly okay (unlike the 1967 one). The video quality was below VHS. I’ll have to finish it when I get back to it. James Bond as an American though, ugh…
It would be cool if you re-up a fixed version of the Blu-ray Rob.
+1 😃
I uploaded the score for the second TFA teaser since it seems it’s not been on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOLMdmFQfow Unfortunately it’s missing the beginning but otherwise I think it’s one of my favorite pieces of SW music.
If anybody has the international version, I’d like to hear it too.

I just love that on the current mix, you can actually hear the quiet, when R2 is lonely, going through the canyon. I played the original mix and it’s FULL of hiss and totally brittle, so it’s fun now to hear it like George wanted it to really be, what was intended.
LOL…“George wanted”. I wouldn’t trust the mixes to this guy after his work on the OT soundtracks. They’re probably all muddled.
…the opening scene take place in outer space? I read that was the case somewhere online. I looked back at all the films, prequels and originals, and sure enough, they all start off in space.
Wait a minute… you had to look back?
The one thing about LEGO Star Wars that saddens me is the fact that it’s based on the prequels. The first one is the best LEGO game, and I have to be constantly reminded of the PT while playing it; it does make more sense than the films, though 😉.
Really? I played Lego SW II first and after that I tried Lego SW but it was missing a lot of the improvements of the second one so I lost interest almost immediately and didn’t even finish the first Episode. Being based on the PT didn’t help, either.
If you like nature cams, here’s one from Finland: http://wwf.fi/elainlajit/saimaannorppa/?endorseimage=8452#norppalive
It’s a live cam from a rock where a dangered species of ringed seals like to hang. I just saw two of them this morning, they’re pretty cute. There are only a little over 200 of them and they all live in Finland. The cam is there to raise awareness and it’s become very popular here, over 200k people have watched it which is like 5% of the whole nation. The cam is only up for May. Hope you enjoy. 😃
Did you just call me Solo?
Serious or not, I don’t get that line. His name IS Solo.
More awesome art, less talk and crappy pics.
That Rey art was cool, I really like her face/expression. Nicely captured.

Here’s some nice EU art from an official SW artist: http://wraithdt.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=/
Not sure what the best place should be, but I’ll post here. I’ve seen LFL’s official image files recently which include poster art. They have erased Fox logos and text (including the 20th Century Fox soundtrack text) from all of them, all international versions too. So be cautious if you’re collecting images like me, they have been touched. Not sure if this was just a batch or something permanent but we’ll see.
For anyone feeling nostalgic, GOG just released Shadows of the Empire. This is probably the first time it’s been for sale in over two decades.
Since it was released in 1996 it isn’t that long. 😛
I wanted to do my version of the TFA-style SW logo, feel free to use it. Not exactly on topic but still.

Edit: what the hell, I made the sequels too. It was a fun image puzzle to make, although ROTJ was nearly impossible with its poster!

Perhaps the worst aspect of the Holiday Special is that props from Star Wars (1977) were mutilated for the production of Holiday Special.
In what way? I thought only the costumes left over from the movie were used.
I know only the lightsaber, but that wasn’t even mutilated, it was a brand new ugly one that doesn’t even show much.

That was pretty fun. I like the “accurate space light” comment, LOL. Based on applauds, the model was CG.

There’s a typo, the costume designer is John Mollo. Also, molo is a word for a dick in Finnish.
Someone had scanned all the contents of the Executor box and it included those. I don’t remember which thread it was but it wasn’t that long ago, less than a year.

It says Episode VII in the title crawl (trust me, it’s the first thing I looked for) and it says VII here: http://www.starwars.com/films
No one has said otherwise.
It still does not answer my question: these are posters, i.e. the way the movies are marketed.

The official name is Star Wars: The Force Awakens.Does this answer your question?
Sources ? It seems no one can provide me the right answer with facts, no just guess.
Our national film registry but if the copyright site is right, then disregard. It says the original name is Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as is the official name in my country. But at least it doesn’t have the episode in our title.
I haven’t seen either Basic Instinct (and I’m proud of that achievement).
The first one is good, I recommend it.

Never a good idea to make a sequel/remake of a Verhoeven film.
Yeah, Basic Instinct 2 wasn’t that great either. But after reading such horrible reviews I was (slightly) pleasently surprised that you coud actually watch the film. It would be a little better if it didn’t happen in grey and gloomy London, it’s just visually so uninteresting. But Sharon Stone was still hot and good in her role.
It’s probably the protocol droid costume briefly seen on the Blockade Runner.
Probably was also used for the E chu ta! droid on Cloud City.
Could be, but I’ve just never seen it in the sandcrawler before. Huh, you learn something new every day.
I don’t get this image, are there really two different 3PO costumes? Or what the heck is going on…
