The one landing on Coruscant is supposed to be the Falcon. Whether it had that name at the time is anyone’s guess. There are three similar ships seen in AOTC when the refugee transport lands on Naboo.

The argument against the Falcon being new is we don’t see similar ships anywhere else in the OT. There can’t be many left still operating. Even the Rebellion doesn’t have a YT in it’s fleet of old beat up ships.
The wear and tear probably accumulates faster when you’re doing smuggling for the likes of Jabba.

This full frame LD release also has mono sound and is a bit cheaper to come by than the 1995 remaster.

Remember how ATTACK OF THE CLONES changed Slave I’s colour-scheme to include a lot of BLUE compared to how it looked years later in ESB?

Well, it seems like the Falcon’s exterior is also getting a similar make-over in this new HAN SOLO movie…along with some new ‘cargo-hauling’ action -

And where are they getting their info from? I can’t imagine Lucasfilm disregarding that the Falcon had a cameo in ROTS.

Kenner toyed with the idea of a ship that docked in the front of the Falcon, but it never made it past the prototype.

I liked the idea the MF had a history before even Lando owned it. It certainly wasn’t a brand new ship in the Lando novels. Maybe we’ll finally see the elusive escape pods mentioned in the original film?

Nice obscure reference. Technically it’s concept art Yoda as that’s all Marvel had to work with.
I scanned the purple Yoda pages out of a crumbling paperback edition of the Marvel ESB adaptation several years ago. The Yoda pages were redrawn by the time the regular monthly issues saw print.

Too bad the footage from the old Star Wars Interactive Video Board Game only exists in VHS quality, as there’s plenty of shots of Vader at a communications console. He could probably take the call from Fett while in his pod though.

Van Helsing.

Feck off I like the atmosphere.

It’s goofy at times but lot of fun. I bought it on HD DVD even. And probably better than Universal’s recent attempts at a monster franchise. I still don’t get how being a vampire allows you to walk up walls though.

Diamonds wasn’t even explicitly rogue I don’t think.

They kept some continuity with the ending of OHMMSS. He was out for revenge on Blofeld, period. It wasn’t an explicit mission. M lightly chastised him about getting back to work after Blofeld’s apparent demise, but otherwise let it slide.
This was a bit nasty, even for Sean’s Bond.

That was fantastic.

You have got to have a random droid utter those lines in your next edit. 😉

How did this remain under my radar for over a year?

How would Palpatine know what Vader said to Luke at Cloud City? He might sense a change in Vader post Bespin, but not necessarily a I want to kill you and rule the galaxy with my kid vibe.
We also don’t know if Vader and Palpatine have even been in the same room between films. ROTJ strongly suggests Vader has just been ordered away from his pursuit of Luke to speed up the DS construction.

Eh, I haven’t seen much (if any) love for Licence to Kill. I’d say that one’s pretty widely regarded as bad, or at least a misstep.

I think it’s been reappraised in some circles as we’ve had grittier 007 outings since then. And aside from the opening of Diamonds Are Forever it’s the only time we’ve seen Bond truly going rogue.

Wow, we’re coming up on the 30th anniversary of that. Since I was slaving at a college tv station at the time we were all discussing it. I’m amazed those guys were never caught or gave a interview to someone in all that time.

I would hope there’s another cake shop in town happy to take the money this guy is turning away. 😉

Unfortunately, we don’t live in an ideal world, we live in Disney’s world.

I’d rather live in Epcot myself. :p

Funny how George gets most of the hate for ROTJ, and not Richard Marquand.

Can one fly an X Wing without a droid in the socket? There’s a dead R2 or BB unit lying around there somewhere!

We’ll probably never know those details. Lucasfilm is going spin doctor the hell out of things as much as they can. It’s bad press as it is.

Signing on to a Star Wars project is a massive commitment. Years out of one’s life. An intense period of preparation, then relocating to England for the duration of the shoot. One reason Abrams initially balked at taking on TFA was either be away from his family or uproot them and bring them along.
Getting sacked from a Star Wars film is probably as mentally devastating as losing a presidential election. Even more so if you’ve been a life long fan. Who in their right mind is going to want that level of stress knowing the axe is constantly hanging over your neck?

Play nice, children.

I agree some folks take it too far. There are instances where well preserved 35mm theatrical prints prove some modern video masters are cocked up. Old home video masters were optomized for crappy analog televisions and as much as I love Laserdiscs, about the only thing that they’re good for as a reference these days are original theatrical sound mixes.

I found that DVD. The menus aren’t like what you posted. There are four Chinese sub tracks. All seem to be slightly different.

Until The Hobbit films, ol’ VP was the most frightening movie dragon ever. And probably still is. I wish ILM had kept the Go Motion technique alive. I think it could still work in a CGI crazy world.

Yeah, that ILM gag photo has fooled a lot of people over the years into thinking it was a deleted scene with a Krayt dragon.
Speaking of gags, I heard Howard the Duck was stuffed inside the Ark of the Covenant for a time at the Lucasfilm archives. Love to see a photo of that.
