Awesome pics! This must be the first event (and Star Wars related too) in decades where Marcia Lucas showed up. So many unsung people which made the OT possible.

George really gets too much credit…

I agree and I have to say it doesn’t bother me in the least that George wasn’t part of it. Considering his decades-long (and successful so far) war to suppress the work, contributions, and accolades of everyone in that room, I’m elated that he didn’t contaminate that event the way he’s contaminated the Original Trilogy.

Yeah, don’t want the guy who created the series there to “contaminate” the room full of people who worked for him as employees. Star Wars fans can be the absolute worst, isn’t it possible to just appreciate the event without having to pull up an excuse to crap all over George Lucas?
I guess pigs will fly one day too.

George is the one who decided not to be there. I guess a race in Monaco was more important to him than celebrating the 40th anniversary with all the people who helped him make the movie.

I don’t hate them. They just seemed drab coming after the colorful TOS costumes. I think if they had kept the color schemes of TOS, they would have been better received. I appreciated Pike’s TMP esque uniform at the end of Trek '09 though.

I’ve never been terribly fond of the movie uniforms from TWOK onward as they’re all the same color. And TNG established them existing well into Picard’s time. Yes, I know it was cheaper to use all those leftover movie uniforms.

Thanks for all the effort you and others put into this, SilverWook.

Quite the embarrassment.

Why are you always such a dick? I’m tempted to switch the forum back to the original October 2015 layout just so you’ll rage-quit the site again.

Yay name calling. No wonder you like it. It proves what a bunch of whiney children are on this site.

You can bitch and moan about it being taken down but there’s no reason to keep it up. We look like assholes because of it and one person shouldn’t have been allowed to speak for the whole site without getting some sort of approval.

That was just one big pissy unreadable wall of text.

Was watching an episode of The Munsters, and Herman described something as being “wizard”. Is this where George got it from?

I have the NTSC two disc release. Seems cheap or lazy to use a heavily compressed version as an uncompressed master for the recon must be somewhere?

If Jay doesn’t have it on a site backup somewhere, archive.org ought to have a snapshot or two of it.

We might have to rename this sub forum a tad, since the petition is about as lively as a Norwegian Blue.

Cool the decade old stuff is gone. Might be handy to have something about the 40th up there rather than a page where the first link has the word torrent on it though…

I wonder how long it’ll be before Ridley Scott makes a prequel/sequel/sidequel to Legend that retcons Darkness, the fairies, the goblins, etc. into being extraterrestrials with sufficiently advanced technology, probably with ties to the Prometheus/Alien Universe. Lord knows preserving the film’s mysticism and grandeur come a distant second to Ridley’s need to profit off nostalgia since he’s too much of a worn-out old fart to create any new stories worth a damn.

At least he’s not doing what George has done to his old movies. 😉

Sadly, the Empire doesn’t know that the Zambonis are extremely slow. They’re not very effective when trying to chase down people or other speeders.

Tell that to Eddie Lebec. 😉

Understood, but let’s not add to the fire.

With what it costs to get in to an event like Celebration, I don’t think anyone wants to be kicked out by guys dressed as Imperial Stormtroopers. 😉

Former House Speaker John Boehner gave President Donald Trump’s young presidency low marks at an event Wednesday, saying that other than getting the House to pass a health care bill, “everything else he’s done has been a complete disaster.”

“He’s still learning how to be president,” Boehner said during an appearance as the keynote speaker for the KPMG Global Energy Conference, according to a recap from RigZone.com.

Boehner also said that his hopes for tax reform had dimmed, calling the preliminary discussions that are going on “just a bunch of happy talk.”

The health care bill may end up being the most disastrous of all!

Also…RigZone.com?

Mr. Tanning Bed is still in demand?

These idiots need reminding what it’s like in countries without a free press, or be encouraged to move to one. 😉

Can one serve in office with a felony on their record? Committed before they were in office of course.

I’d be surprised if they weren’t looking at such an idea for when Rebels finishes it’s run.

Perry King is still around, and could probably voice Han Solo like he did in the radio adaptations.

I meant the “sappy and sentimental” part. 😉

I knew he was trolling—but I also knew I’d be shouted down if I pointed out the obvious in the “emo-supp” thread, where the mentality of victimhood is nurtured and privileged to run free and unencumbered of any scrutiny or accountability.

You could have brought your suspicions to the mods in private, as two other members did.

Can we ever be 100% sure about anything? All we have are the info about the victims and DS’s posts to go on.

Sorry about you loss, stay strong. Really don’t know what else to say at a time like this 😦

See above.

The damage is done, so let’s dust ourselves off and move on. The sad part is if someone around here actually does suffer a tragic loss, the cynics will go for the kill.

The Empire kidnapped the Canadian architect behind the Zamboni.

Shhh! That’s the plot of Rogue Two…

Remember this deal Trumpy pulled off before he was even sworn in?

Wow, will they refuse to cover the court appearance as well? I hope that’s not the only tv station in the area!

I like it! Needs some music though. 😉

Don’t know if we ever got Bill Hunt’s attention, but his personal note sounds a lot like our letter.
