Depends on how posts you've got? For some, it could take months.

Been a while since I've watched mine, but I think it starts in mid sentence talking about what the world was like in the 60's when Star Trek began.

 Oh, OK. Does sound like you are missing a few minutes from the beginning.

 Unfortunately. I'm sure you recall how user friendly VCR timers were back then. ;)

Wow, I completely forgot I was a member 10 years ago :-) I have a feeling that I have my copy from you, Silverwook, correct? If so, I have a feeling it starts during Roddenberry's interview.

dlbsyst - any chance that you share your recording?

 Yes, you do. :)

IIRC, I put in an extra Trek related item or two rescued from other tapes I had.

Maybe someone can do a Nomad if one version has rough patches the other doesn't?

TIE's seem dependent on a base ship intentionally. You don't want anyone defecting to those Rebel scum, not that anyone would.

 
Isn't that pretty much the plot of TFA?

 Crashing on a nearby planet with your base ship in the neighborhood, (or so I presume) isn't quite the clean getaway one would want.

As Duracell pointed out , TIE's never had hyperspace capability in the OT. Even Ben in the original film says they're short range fighters.

Fixed! Thanks!

Would be nice to have a more complete version than my old recording out there. Mine was missing a bit at the beginning. :)

Are the commercial breaks intact?

Want to bet this commercial comes back in a special edition? ;)

The purge has begun it seems.

Shut up.

I respect the mods here more than to seek their aid whenever I stub my toe.

 Off topic is not a free license to be abusive towards your fellow members.

Maybe the interceptors didn't perform too well in ROTJ? Or at least they didn't outperform the older design?

the TIE is probably hard to improve on.

An internal air supply and hyperdrive should just about do it.

Can't recall if it's canon, but I once read the lack of niceties like ejection seats and hyperspace capabilities keep it a lean maneuverable fighter. Probably a flying death trap compared to Rebel ships, yet they're cheap and easy for the Empire to crank out in huge numbers.

A TIE pilot's independent life support is probably just an extra measure of protection if the hull is breached. Rebel pilots were going to have face masks as well in the original film, but it was nixed so the actor's faces could be easily seen.

I'd rather err on the side of caution. Even speculation should only be discussed in the proper threads.

I know it's something supposedly minor but am I the only one who is very disappointed at how bland the new Imperial, ahem, First Order vehicles look like?

The TIE/fo in particular (it's been practically confirmed that's the official name based on the X-Wing board game and Bandai's upcoming scale model), it's just a normal TIE-Fighter with some very minor detail alteration and negative colour scheme! White radiator/solar panels and black hull! ... Meh.

 Some aircraft & spacecraft designs don't change very much over time. And the TIE is probably hard to improve on.

In the real world, B-52's are still flying, and Russia's still launching Soyuz space capsules.

Whoa.

Harrold sent me the photo I asked for. I'll take him and his friend at their word for now.

I consider the matter closed. Please do not engage in petty harassment of them or any other members.

Ok.

Yes, I do. Take a photo of the two of you with a computer visible with this site on the screen. You can send it to me in a PM if you don't want it public. I will show it to the other mods and Jay if needed though.

Do I smell socks? Somebody is in deep trouble.

Fess up to it right now, and I will be lenient since you're new.

Further sock puppeteering will not be tolerated.

Good point. Happy now? ;)

I could have sworn Luke had kids in the EU though.

Darth Farmer no more! :)

Putting that up on the OT twitter.

Okay. Just don't let it happen again.

As this is about some fanfic, the thread title is a little misleading. Bad fanfics are everywhere.

And you just posted a potential TFA spoiler outside the spoiler thread.

I would avoid Mad Magazine, just in case. ;)
