Goodnight, Wesley. Sleep well. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.

HA!

Gas Name Gas

Alternately: A Sensible Han Solo

I figured that the curtains on either side of the chamber were enough to stop the gas from reaching them, whether they were dampened or made of a special material.

For me though, while it rehashes a lot of scenes from Star Wars (the cantina bit being the worst and most unneeded offender), it wasn’t such a big deal.

Was the bar they go to really seen as a rip-off of the bar scene in Star Wars?
I’ve only seen it once, but I don’t remember anything from that scene that copies the one in Star Wars and I was fully expecting it at that point in the movie.
I’m guessing people who have this complaint don’t go to bars.

I think it’s just the general idea of our heroes going to a bar to find a ship at around the halfway point in the movie. If they’d included the Unkar Plutt scene where his arm gets ripped off, that would richly deserve the rehash accusation. As it is, it just feels a bit derivative.

Good discussion, that.

That looks really wonderful.

In before Frink’s joke.

I’m glad people like the gas idea!
It would require some VFX work to sell the idea. I made a quick mockup to show how it might look in action:

Password: gas

I’d prefer a bit more swirling and eddying gas in the first panning shot, so that Boushh is basically wading through it and can hardly see a thing. This makes her bumping into the chimes a lot more believable. Then it could stay quite dark and gassy until the shot of Han in carbonite, where the gas starts clearing dramatically.

Are we talking about that 80’s Star Wars parody with Brian Blessed and Max Von Sydow?

I don’t believe I’ve had Skittles since the '90s. I recall loathing their sickly sweetness.

Aw man I was so excited about my post I didn’t even see DE’s.

TV’s Frink’s modus operandi: Post first, look at screen later.

I can’t really talk to anyone about Star Wars outside of this forum.

This may be a wretched hive, but at least its a safe wretched hive.

Earlier today @realDonaldTrump’s account was “inadvertently” deactivated due to human “error” by a Twitter employee. The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored. We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again.

FTFY

Excellent idea. Is this stickied?

Leftover Halloween candy, namely Skittles. I only like the lemon and orange ones, which is fine because my girlfriend only likes the other kinds.

We’re insufferable.

Soon we’ll need a 4K category.

APPROVED.

I hadn’t seen this international trailer yet:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=83&v=bEraJBiTIUY

C-3PO looks a lot better here than he did in TFA. I don’t know whether it’s the lighting or some extra polish or what, but he actually looks more real.

They’re quite nice. I always wish that they were more of a dangerous, crackling energy of the '77 version than the sanitized versions that came after, but this is about as good as I can expect while still holding to the established style.

I can’t find that version anywhere on the 'spleen.

Here’s an updated sheet with more projects:

And here I am, decidedly less spooky.

Just saw a trailer during the World Series. Great shot of Luke stepping into the cockpit of the Falcon.

It’s now up on the Star Wars youtube channel too:-

‘The Last Jedi : Awake’…

😃

Nice trailer. Since I have a compulsion, here’s the Luke and Falcon shot made to look more like it did in the olden days:

mods please delete this thread.

I think you have to send a PM to the whole team for that to work.

But how long would that take‽‽‽!!!

Using interrobangs and exclamation marks together? Are you trying to destroy the observable universe?

Don’t worry, the invisible thread will remain unaffected.

Hey look, Off Topic is garbage again.
