Some long time users have no avatar either. 😉

Hmm… well, I just can’t trust a faceless account.
I was very happy to see Disco_Lobot add one, as I liked the posts, but couldn’t handle the blank face.

Wish my old idea of generic default trooper avatars had been taken up.

Why was it shot down?

It wasn’t shot down. The thread just petered out.

Ewan also could have had some other project scheduled between the end of principal photography and the eventual reshoots months later.

But whose footage made the final cut?

The IMDB claims Lucas directed reshoots, as Hemingway was busy on another project by that time.

The IMDB page seems to bear that theory out.

LOL!

I kind of like it. It’s got a 30’s Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers vibe to it.

Baron Papa Smurf…I mean Papanoida? Just a blink and you’d miss them background prequel character, until he inexplicably got an entire episode of The Clone Wars about him. 😉

Star Wars blogger T-Bone got in some hot water with George for breaking the news about his cameo.

You dastard! Picking on a little Wookiee. He’s hardly the worst character in the HS. 😉

What’s she holding, a Noisy Cricket?

I feel like she’s gonna break that thing.

Lucas had been trying to get this made since the 80’s. An HBO movie on the same subject came out in 1995. Between this and Radioland Murders, any long gestating project of George’s seems headed for trouble.

Six death stick packs a day will kill you. 😉

FTFY

I think the Boba Fett movie will correct the situation. 😉

Never thought Jango was bad, just a little bland, and Lucas killed him off way too fast as usual. If he had been a 20 year old Boba, a good, if not yet polished Bounty Hunter, that would have been more interesting.

If this ISIS was still around, we could hire them to “liberate” the negatives. 😉

Who is being strangled here?

People were dressed as Rey at the 10th Anniversary con? I have many doubts.

Well, I think there was a DeLorean parked outside the hotel. 😃

Actually, this is what Skeletor looked like with skin, before his unfortunate shaving accident. 😉

Yes, but being mostly cybernetic means not catching your death of cold. 😉

And most people don’t have clawed feet to walk along on a spaceship hull either.

When the Star Wars land finally opens at Disneyland, I hope they do cool stuff like Johnny Depp in costume lurking on the Pirates Of The Caribbean ride.

Wait did he actually do that or are you just referring to the very eerily lifelike animatronic of him they added to the ride?

He actually did it yesterday. It was all over twitter.

Yes and that’s definitely on the same level as the slaughter of innocent people.

I was only referring specifically to ISIS’s destruction of cultural artifacts, and nothing else.

ISIS is definitely worse than Lucasfilm by light-years, obviously, but both are guilty of cultural cleansing.

That’s a s****y comparison to make and you know it. Knock it off.

He’s a Kaleesh that was transformed into a cyborg. Pretty much the only parts that remain of his original body are his eyes, brain, and the rest of his organs.

OK. Basically another Vader with more stuff damaged/replaced. Since the lung obviously doesn’t work properly either, I would have replaced that as well.

If the lung itself is the force bearer that might be the reason to keep it.

Silly, but… well.

He’s not force sensitive, so that’s a good point. It’s clear the lung wasn’t working correctly, so they should’ve replaced it.

Why even keep the lungs if he can clearly survive in space without them?

Maybe he held his breath.

The brain still needs oxygen. He can clearly function in a vacuum for a brief period.

dvdactive doesn’t like hotlinking.

Weird it shows up for me. Fixed anyways.

She is Rey and she is a girl and is awesome. Deal with it.

Look, criticizing the character is perfectly fine! Just because she’s a woman shouldn’t put her above reproach. I don’t recall any of these criticisms being made against Leia, and she wasn’t exactly your everyday damsel in distress.

Leia was a superb heroine, plucky, courageous, charismatic and sharp-witted, and she averted many negative females-in-fantasy tropes, but the Imagineers at Disney realize that even though Leia should have been a ready-made role model, girls just really didn’t give a shit.
Cuz know what? Girls don’t give a shit about Star Wars.
So the Imaginariat went to the lab and created a purified formula of excess overpowered-ness, in hopes that if she’s outright omnipotent, girls will finally become interested in a role model in the Star Wars universe.
I guess we’ll see if that agenda worked, but it sure resulted in a forgettable, entirely unremarkable movie.

I doubt Kenner ever lost money cranking out Leia figures, and there were plenty of Leia cosplayers at the 10th Anniversary Con. I know because I was there.
