SW is not one they're dumping yet. But they are cutting back on the spending they do on that line because it's not selling as much. With the company in the financial straits they are in, there is no way they paid LFL for this.


Lego lost a lot money last year, and has promised a return to basics, but a spokesperson clarrified that they will still have starwars, harry potter etc, its just htat they are going to focus the releases of new products for these lines to years when the movies are coming out. He also said that what they meant by scaling back was no more video games or bionicle movies, theyare going to stick with actual Lego and not spin off multimedia and merchandise.

I heard it was going to be dark blue.

to me it would of made more sense to make TTT:ee the blue one and ROTK:ee the red one, because those colours are more consistent with the tones of the movie and what we see. Helms deep is very blue toned, and mordor in rotk is very red. ROTK in general had a very warm tone to it while TTT had a very cool tone to it.

Things like this prove that I need to get a life

I hate what he did with the OT, but I like the prequels. It'd be up to him as to if the ST is ever made.

If it's what he wanted all along, I say go for it.


BUT DON'T TRY TO DENY THE ORIGINAL STAR WARS IN THE PROCESS, D*MMIT!!!


Now I'm confused, you like the PT but not the OT???

That has to be a first.


GL's ideas for a sequel trilogy got put into ROTJ so making one would be pointless (the emperor was not going to appear until episode9)

but any time fans take on huge undertakings like this my interest is peaked and I'll be curious to see the results.

You and me will have to have drinks one day DAYV

I also have the Maniac Marv action figure, but my finest piece of SC memorabilia is a special limited edition DAME TO KILL FOR hardcover TPB (its one of 1000) and its signed by Frank Miller.

When? And will they be the ones transferred from laserdisc, not VHS? And when? And if they're from laserdiscs, then will the interviews etc. from those versions be included? And when? How much? And when? What payment will you accept? And, since I haven't asked about this yet - *when*?


(I hope I didn't sound too rambling and overexcited. )

I've had both of these pictures for quite some time, let me just explain one thing before there is a whole debate on this matter.

The burned Anakin pic is 90% fake. Only the head and neck are real, and its likely they are a make up test on a dummy, not an actual shot of Hayden Christiensen from the movie. The body is all done in photoshop, but the head is real.

speaking of Mr.Miller, did you guys hear about the sin city movie?


Aparently nobody could get the rights away from Miller who wants nothing to do with Hollywood following his involvement with Robocop 2 & 3. But Robert Rodriguez wrote a script for SC the movie that baiscally interweves the original miniseries, dame to kill for, and that yellow bastard into one movie. Then he cast Josh Hartnett (I think as Dwight) and some famous actress and went out and shot the first 10 min of the movie, still without having acquired the rights and done entirely in secret. Aparently he't been working for years to develop this movie, and has come up with some camera/digital technique to make the movie look exactly like the comic.

So now he has the first ten minutes, and he gets ahold of Miller and invites him over to his house, and says "look, I'll show you what I have, and if you like it we'll do the whole movie, and if you don't I'll burn it and never tell a soul that we did this"

Miller liked what he saw and now the movie is a go ahead. RR has a dream cast of huge name stars (which have not been revealed as of yet) whom he is going to approach using the first 10 minutes as a sample of what is to come in hopes of wooing them into the project.

It sounds like if this works out, the film could be great, but there is still a lot of ways this can go wrong. After all more then a couple of RR's movies are complete crap.

Still I'm excited/

I agree, but I'm not making my comments entirely uninformed, I know the basic structure of the story of the film and what follows in the next three as well as the two procedding episodes. A character, especially a villian should have a full arc and not just get offed half way through the movie.
