Off screen explanations aside, the amount of time between SW and ESB is a little hazy. The Rebellion has probably been on the run most of that time. (They haven’t been on Hoth long enough to know about Wampas for example.) Whatever missions Has has done for them, hasn’t taken him close enough to Tatooine to drop off the cash.

The old Marvel book sidestepped all of this by having pirates rob Han and Chewie as they were on their way to pay Jabba. Other misadventures ensued to keep Han and Chewie back with Luke and Leia. Many issues later, they rescued Jabba after his disastrous attempt to get Han and keep the bounty for himself. Jabba forgave the debt in gratitude. Actually it was either accept Solo’s terms or get eaten by alien insects, but I digress. 😉

When the plot point for Empire was revealed to Marvel, they established Jabba was funding the pirate operation that robbed Han, (which Han had later ultimately destroyed) and the bounty was reinstated when the Hutt found out who was responsible.

If it’s still happening, they’re probably waiting until TFA has been out for a while. The landscape of the fandom will be different.

It could be a mask for a stunt double to wear? No more pasting an actor’s head on someone else’s body. 😉

There’s still something odd going on with his post history. 90 posts, and all I can see are the recent ones in this thread.

Catbus, if you’re in touch with him, inform him Jay has locked his account down out of caution.

Han’s reward is pretty bulky based on this scene…

The Rebellion is pretty much in “hiding out” mode. (And they’re probably far from the well traveled areas of the galaxy.) They may simply not be able to spare a ship to send money to Jabba, and I doubt just anyone can get in to see him.

There is also probably no paypal in a Galaxy Far Far Away. 😉

He still owes Jabba money, which means a long line of bounty hunters trying to collect the price on his head no matter where you go. There’s something to be said for reducing the number of people actively trying to kill you personally.

It would have been awesome if Disney had worked something out with Fox. Nothing gets the heart pumping like the old Fox fanfare with Cinemascope extension.

I think Lexsanor’s account has been hacked in some way?

Noted!

We have 300 followers now. I was going to take a screen shot, but now it’s 301. 😉

Another thread at this point is going to make more work for us mods. I want to remain spoiler free too, but I also have to make sure people play nice around here.

There already is. (See title of thread.)

Guess I’ll have to do some excavations to see what we did ten years ago. Not like we thought we’d ever have new SW movies to discuss ever again.😉

JEDIT:Wow! We had an unholy mess of threads about Episode III back then! Let’s not do that again!

Some people might not see the movie for the first time until weeks later, painful as that sounds. They will simply have to tough it out.

Another TFA thread is only going to cause more clutter and confusion around here. Tweaking the title, as was done when the trailer dropped, should be enough.

Han has a Rebel rank insignia on his Hoth outfit though. 😉

What the hey?

I’m pretty sure that someone here on the forum, that is those that aren’t from the US, will see TFA a day or two earlier than that countdown timer shows.
I definitively will, and I’m going into an internet “blackout” starting the 15th since that’s TFA’s earliest release date, and I don’t want any spoilers.

The clock is based on the U.S. release date. Sorry international fans.

The first new thing on the front page in six years ought to be cause for celebration around here. 😉

For those of you counting the days, hours, minutes, and seconds left to go, a countdown timer to the movie has been added to the front page. Courtesy of Anchorhead and Jay.

Just about anything that came out in the waning days of the Laserdisc format commands b*tshit insane prices today. (Especially if it only came out in Japan.) Someone on the LDDB wants $3,400 for a sealed copy of Titan A.E. I think I paid about 75 bucks for it 15 years ago.

IIRC, Puggo bakes old reel to reel video tapes all the time. I’m sure he could explain the process.

Settle down, Beavis. And turn off your caps lock…

I loathe Plagueis for his name alone. I don’t want to see stupid names like that appear in the ST, not even in passing.

Yeah, that would be like naming an inept bounty hunter Greedo. 😉

It could simply be a member of the same species?

And “Plagueis truther community” is the funniest thing I’ve heard today. 😉

It’s going to be interesting to see if there are any bitter fans sitting out in the cold, with signs proclaiming they are boycotting the film. 😉

Well at least that would be a proper way to support their cause (no matter how stupid the cause may be). We have many bitter fans of theatrical release around here who were still buying the altered releases. Buying them for the sake of being on the legal side to possess fan edits doesn’t really help the cause. On contrary, it practically means supporting Lucas and his altered releases.

Also a good way to freeze your ass off, and look like idiots on the local news. 😉

In any case, you’re getting off topic.
