I like how he ranked TFA below AOTC.
Impscum confirmed.

Sometimes I wonder where Duragizer gets his material. In a morbid sort of way.

Well at least the dreadnought’s flat top was a story requirement.

The First Order Dreadnought is equipped with two orbital auto cannons which are used for large scale bombardment. It’s measured at 7,669.72 meters long.

So, it’s big.

I require my slices of Imperial oppression to be stacked high with tasty toppings.

The spider walkers make sense as an evolution of Imperial tech. But this dreadnought is really ugly. As people have said, it’s just like a giant slice of pizza with no vertical interest. For comparison, the Super Star Destroyer had a really sleek look.

Say what you will about the prequels, but at least they had better designs than this.

Also, I find it heartening that everything has recently been quite sedate and civil on balance, despite the current state of the (inter?)national discourse.

Shhh! Don’t jinx it! 😉

Oh dear.

There is no good option with Afghanistan. Pulling out of the country would be seen as a defeat, which is why democracies so rarely commit to a war they don’t think they can win, and favor kicking the can down the road until the next person can deal with it.

In GL’s 1981 revised rough-draft ROTJ script, the Emperor not only knows who Yoda is, he knows him on sight when Yoda’s Force ghost appears in his underground throne room:

The Emperor turns around to see the shimmering image of Yoda standing before him.

EMPEROR
You!

YODA
Evil one, this will be the last day of your existence.

A further reminder that ROTJ could have been much worse.

Here’s an idea: What if Leia transmits the plans from R2 to the Rebel base right after they escape the Death Star? Then as the Falcon desperately tries to hold off the sentry ships, we cut to Yavin 4 where they are briefing the pilots on the Death Star’s weakness. The ships arrive at the Death Star as the Falcon is still holding off the TIE’s, and Red leader immediately heads to the trench while Vader flies out to intercept. Red leader manages to hit the target and it destroys most of the station, killing Tarkin.

In this version of events, Leia never suspects that the Empire is tracking the Falcon. Our heroes then go to Yavin 4 for the medal ceremony, which is what leads the Empire to drive them out.

For the Luke vs Vader scene, after Vader says ‘It is the only way you can save your friends. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for…’ Cut to Leia being injured and troops coming up behind Han. Luke snaps.

I know that a more reasonably sized version is going to be available there for those who don’t want to clean out their entire hard drive, but it will still be around 20gb. If people want the large version as well, that can certainly happen.

Thanks!

My friend and I watched a movie sometime around 1992/3 and I remember the cover had a boy on his bike (which we decided was a good enough reason to rent it). The plot was about the kid being transported to a dream-like world that was made up of (it seemed like) bits of other movies. The villain was trying to steal the colour from the world, or something.

I’m reasonably sure the title was the boy’s name followed by adventure, or excellent adventure, or amazing adventure.

This has been niggling at me for a VERY long time. Any ideas?

EDIT: The villain also sang a song about stealing the colour!

I’VE FOUND IT!!!

Known variously as, “Andy Colby’s Incredibly Awesome Adventure”,“Andy Colby’s Incredible Adventure” or (somewhat unexpectedly) “Andy and the Airwave Rangers”. It was released in 1988, was produced by Roger Corman and stars nobody you’ve ever heard of. Wonderfully, the film’s poster on the Wikipedia page has somebody riding a bike - just like I remembered!

The trailer is a masterpiece of awful.

That’s 25 years of weight off my shoulders but the question now is, dare I watch it again?!

The beginning of the trailer reminds me of The Never Ending Story, when he meets the old man in the Library/Book store. The main premise reminds me of a John Ritter movie, Stay Tuned (1992). Very similar idea of people getting sucked into the ‘tv land’.

Should have called it “Andy and the Airwave Avengers”. Now that’s a catchy title.

That’s pretty scummy.

I’m a brunette now (previously a redhead). I like it but it makes my freckles look different!

From your avatar, I can’t imagine you ever being a redhead. 😉

The files are about 34 gb in size.

Thank you, I see your points. My idea is of the program practically impossible but maybe the store could work.

Yes, I’m pretty new, I’ve been a user for only about a couple of months. I love all the things I’ve been able to get thanks to me finding this site and it was all free and not that difficult. I mean I only asked for a MySpleen invite and got it, I guess One has to be lucky.

There are many tutorials in YouTube of how to get fan edits, but I couldn’t find one that mentioned asking for a MySpleen invite. I think it’s the easiest way and normal people should know how it works.

“Normal people” should probably know how to torrent

Really? Obvious incoming joke aside, I don’t know how to torrent, and I’m hardly in the uneducated internet demographic.

Ah. What I mean is, “It’s probably a good idea to make a tutorial for torrenting aimed at normal people.” - with the caveat that such a tutorial should not be made showing the uninformed how they can quickly get myspleen access.

I’m a fan of well-written tutorials, since I can apparently get into trouble with even the simplest of instructions. 😛

A New Hope Technicolor Recreation v1 is hereby released!

The links are available via PM and with the stipulation that you meet the basic requirements set down by NJVC and Valheru (member for 6 months, post count more than 10)*.

The project will also be on the 'spleen within a week if all goes well, and the project will have several sizes/bitrates available in case you don’t want to burn dual layer Blu-ray discs.

Note that this project is still technically unfinished, since some lightsaber shots have yet to be replaced. There will be a version 2 at some unspecified date, and this will be the ‘final’ version. The color of some shots will undoubtedly be tweaked for the final version, but nothing dramatic.

*If you’re a new member and you own the blu-ray, PM me a picture of the official Blu-ray with the Blu-ray case and a banana** on top for scale and I’ll give you the links, as well as my heartfelt appreciation for your effort. 😉

**Just kidding. It can be any type of fruit. Except cantaloupe. I hate cantaloupe.

the comments

You’re braver than I am.

They’re so authoritarian-following that I only need to see the top comment. The rest mostly fall in line with that.

Yeah, Breitbart has largely turned against the administration, but the comments suggest most of the readership still supports Trump.

I LOLed

They need to set it between Episodes 5 and 6. Essentially just My Dinner With Andre set in Yoda’s hut where they wax rhapsodic about their early lives and wonder just how everything went so wrong.
