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.

That can only mean one thing…the inundating of the radio airwaves with God awful Christmas songs. I love the Christmas season, but I loathe Christmas music.

Ho Ho Ho.

Also curious what happened to Vader’s red sabre. Did Luke retrieve it before Death Star II blew up?

It fell into a black hole and was transported to a galaxy even farther away. There it was found by a civilization of machine entities, who gave it intelligence and built for it a new machine body. It then took to roaming the universe, in search of its creator.

This is a quality post.

War of the Stars 2: The Future in Motion

After greatly enjoying the first edit, I embarked on this one and was not disappointed. Well, I thought Luke’s return to Dagobah was unnecessary, but other than that it was brilliant and entertaining to watch the paradox of condensing two films into one while incorporating as much superfluous deleted material as possible.

I don’t mind that some people register only to ask for a certain edit. It’s one thing for a place like Myspleen where a lot of hit-and-run behavior is a problem, but for regular download links it shouldn’t be a problem. For people who want my ANH edit I request proof of Blu-ray ownership to the new users, and this allows everyone who’s truly interested to get what they want.

I’d say there are some important differences…

They say that you can kinda see Vader’s visage in this poster for The Last Jedi. If the filmmakers are smart they’d feature about as many cool flashback scenes with Vader in them as they possibly can. Vader is a very large part of this whole franchise whether he’s alive or dead. On an off-topic side note the porgs look ridiculous.

I disagree with everything you just said.

He’s the hero OT Forums needs right now.

I save them as well, but for The Dark Knight I only have one ticket stub so I’d like to hold onto it. Usually I have extras since my brothers give theirs to me, but alas they did not in this case.

As much as I hate the prequels, saying that the Holiday Special is better is absurd. The Holiday Special is the most boring piece of media ever created. It’s not so bad it’s good, it’s so bad it’s really bad.

It’s so bad that even the Rifftrax guys couldn’t save it, and I had to turn it off halfway through despite their valiant attempt to hold my interest.

Like I said, I just don’t find Jar Jar’s stupidity annoying. If anything it’s endearing. As for him being a racial stereotype, that’s simply ludicrous. What little evidence there is is circumstantial and laughably insignificant. The fact he doesn’t even look remotely like a jamaican alone should be enough to dismiss this claim. AotC Watto, on the other hand.

He’s not endearing to everyone. You don’t see Mr. Binks walking around Disney parks as other prequel characters do. Even Watto got a shop in the Orlando park named after him.

Does a character have to be in blackface before they meet your definition of being offensive to some people?

I don’t think George deliberately set out to make Jar Jar offensive. The problem lies in the culture that existed at Lucasfilm where anyone who could say Gee George, I dunno. Maybe that’s not such a good idea? was long gone and Lucas surrounds himself with yes men.

Yes to this.

I should add that in addition to my ideas above I would make the case to Lucas that it would be warranted for him to do a Special Edition of TPM to change some of the more unfortunate aspects of Mr Binks, and also to maybe edit out the Midichlorians.
