During a long car ride, I listened to several episodes of The Last Podcast on the Left. http://cavecomedyradio.com/pod-series/last-podcast-on-the-left/
It was pretty good.

To rank wood, first we must identify wood.
Might be a tad NSFW, so. . . .

I’m pretty confident I know how this picture will be received.
Obviously it will be spurned by the artistic bourgeois of this forum for misinterpreting the hemispherical trench on the Starkiller Base as fully circumferential, at which point they will rush to interpretation and judgement, wholly failing to appreciate the confluence of elements which comprise the finished piece.
I for one welcome a Lando who defies expectations in order to establish a character arc.
I’d like to participate in this thread, but I suck at making anagrams, so I’ll pass.

I had a dream that The Last Jedi suffered from severe censorship and Disney tried to appeal to everyone, including Flat Earthers, so they scribbled out anytime the curvature of a planet was on screen. Harrison Ford made an appearance, looking for his whip from Indiana Jones for some reason. The film was completely incoherent and I ended up hating it more than Attack of the Clones.
I hope this isn’t a premonition.
I had several dreams of this nature before TFA opened. One of them involved characters in the movie wandering around several locations such as a giant department store stocked floor to ceiling with Star Wars merchandise, or a street vendor on Jakku hocking Star Wars merchandise.
There was a theme.
Here’s what the Conference room scene looks like on the print (gamma correction based on correction by age):
Edit: updated gamma correction
That’s interesting. There’s a notable color shift from the first images to the last image, which has more blue and generally more balanced tones. Which color cast would you say is more prevalent in these scenes?
My “objectively bad” comment was sarcastic snark directed at the anti-anime posters around here. I don’t really think it was bad at all.
This is why the internet is such a horrible place to live, bereft of sarcasm and snark detectors.
In related news, season 2 is being aired, and I’ll make a report when I finish it 😃
I hope this gains some traction, though perhaps the best course is to use the short form and leave this one on the front page.
JEDIT: Is there a way to navigate to the front page anymore, or are the forums the new front page? This is most confusing.
Watched the first season of an objectively bad anime called Attack on Titan, but gleaned some measure of enjoyment (as hard as that is to conceive) out of it. It could’ve done with less padding, though; the plot didn’t justify twenty-five episodes.
I very much enjoyed Attack on Titan, and wouldn’t call it “objectively bad”. It is very much aimed at the Shonen (young males) demographic, which means that it’s often over the top, but it’s a fascinating world. Most of it is very well-paced in my opinion except for the two ‘Eve of the Counterattack’ episodes. They could have been removed with little problem.
Fisher completed her part in Episode VIII late last summer, when principal photography on the film wrapped. “She was having a blast,” said Kennedy. “The minute she finished, she grabbed me and said, ‘I’d better be at the forefront of IX!’ Because Harrison was front and center on VII, and Mark is front and center on VIII. She thought IX would be her movie. And it would have been.”

^This but now we grow the chilies as well as the parsley, garlic and broccoli. Can’t yet grow the pine nuts, cheese or spag. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVo_wkxH9dU
We’ve recently been making ‘noodles’ out of zucchini with the Spiralizer. It’s a bit trickier to cook since just a little too long and it becomes mushy. However, I’ve found it’s quite good with regular spaghetti sauce.
That’s how my edit is currently handling this, but it requires moving the Snoke scene up to just afterwards.
Take as much time as you need. Our thoughts are with you.
Okay, just got this downloaded and it looks really good!
In particular, the first part of the first Echo base scene, much of Dagobah, Arrival at Cloud City, Han in Carbonite, and the Rebel Fleet all looked especially good. The final scene in particular looked phenomenal.
There is an issue which plagues the grindhouse edition, and that’s the greenish highlights. Note how the core of Luke’s saber is often green, as well as any metallic surfaces which are in bright light. The best way I found to combat this was to hue shift everything from the greens into the blues, then selectively return the unproblematic hues to their original state. If you were able to adjust only the highlights, that may be even better.
Although both children were hidden, I think it’s a safe assumption that Vader at least suspected that he had a son, and this turned to certainty between ANH and (non-SE) ESB.
It’s a tough balancing act, since as Dreamaster said the hair and gray metal can easily turn green with the more green walls. I’m also taking into consideration the fact that many of the Tech references have too much of a green push and I’m trying to ease that back in certain places where I think it’s appropriate, taking the most balanced frame for reference purposes.
As for the Luke ghost, he’s in every version of the SE so there’s a good argument for leaving him in. On the other hand, it’s clearly a mistake, so perhaps I’ll just remove him anyway 😃
I feel so validated right now.
I hope we see helmetless Phasma at some point in the film.
This is a more substantial edit than mine to be sure, and most of these ideas sound good. Some thoughts, haphazardly listed:
A lot of people seem to dislike the banter between Poe and Kylo, but I like it. I could take the boyfriend line or leave it.
Is this edit intending to preserve the Han’s son reveal until the Oscillator scene? Because I wonder if you’d be able to cut enough out of the Han/Leia discussion at the base without it becoming unnatural. I do agree that some of that should be cut, especially the Snoke references. In fact, all Snoke references in the film could go and I wouldn’t be sad about it 😉
My edit seeks to remove the Poe closeups on his approach to the castle to preserve the revelation, and I wonder if the trailer footage can be combined with the film shots to repair the single X-wing shot.
Overall, this edit is pretty close to ideal.
Another scene in progress. Just 7 or so minutes of footage left for this film.

(The second comparison is between my correction and Despecialized 2.5)
Will the plot holes never cease?!
And I suppose that Obi-wan would actually be there to give Anakin his secret assignment to spy on the Chancellor. Utapau comes a bit later.
Damning with faint praise I see. 😉
