Thanks Ady!
Well, I feel foolish. What ever happened to accurate journalism? ;)

So that's what Adywan looks like?
Ha! It reminds me more of this creepy-as-hell toy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo:_Man_of_a_Thousand_Faces
I had a Hugo I found in a thrift store back in college. He vanished from the studio before I could use him in a video, and is probably still at large.
Hugo played a crucial role on Pee Wee Herman's original stage show as a hypnosis inducing puppet. ;)
Yikes!
How long before someone starts saying there's a Star Wars curse?
Interesting! The Empire must have smaller vessels than Star Destroyers in their fleet, (other than shuttles and TIE's of course) even though we never saw any in the OT.
At some point we're probably going to need a spoiler thread for this movie. I'm less wary of being spoiled though, as we already know whether they manage to steal the DS plans or not. ;)
Can anyone I.D. the wrecked ship? I can't imagine too many "new" designs given the time period.
CBS/Paramount made it known they were cool with fan productions a long time ago.
I'd pay money for a copy of the version that inexplicably has Godzilla in it. ;)

If it's a fan edit, someone went to a lot of effort.
As many of us have felt the sting of youtube yanking something we uploaded...
Saw a TFA coloring book in the drugstore today, almost gave into the temptation to peek inside. ;)
Some fans are only happy when they're miserable?

Last warning.
Calm down chief, I was replying to a post above your 'warnings' before I even saw what you put.
As for not knowing when to stop, I think you have me confused with someone else.
It was a general warning for people to stay on topic. And my reply to mverta was not referring to you.
Moderator warnings ought to be taken seriously in any case.
Another thing to file away for future use. The 1978 SW knockoff, Message From Space has a final battle that is amazingly like the Death Star run in ROTJ. I almost believe George saw it, and showed it to his ILM guys.

So, it might be funny to recut the entire final attack with shots from MFS. It's a bit easier to find on DVD now than when I got a copy a few years back.
Unless Lexx didn't mention it, The Shape of Things To Come, which has nothing to do with H.G. Wells's story or 1930's classic film...

And another Japanese guilty pleasure, Message From Space...

If the FX shots look familiar, a lot of it was used in the old Laserdisc arcade game, Astron Belt. I also suspect George saw the movie, and took notes for the Death Star run in ROTJ. ;)
What is it with the Japanese and sailing ships in space anyway?

TFA is going to be focus grouped garbage, just like all modern blockbusters.
Such a shame that it won't live up to the prequels.
I'll be so pissed if nobody steps in poop in the new film.
I have a trusted source which assures me that TFA will up the ante by featuring full-blown coprophilia.
Let us not go there. Please?
We'll know in three months won't we? ;)
You have to see The War In Space...
"Where's my illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator?"
Why Lucas or Fox never sued over this fellow, I'll never know!
I actually did a What's Up Tiger Lily? dub on this back in college. ;)
As of yet, we don't have any formal rules on avatars. There have been a couple questionable ones in the past though.
Do not give the moderators a reason to make one.

Wook, for what it's worth, I don't mind. I like organic branching.
I understand, but if we make an exception, then every thread collapses into 30 pages of off topic rambling.
And some people just don't know when the heck to stop.
With the tourism boost the movie is going to provide, I imagine they are going to want to make getting there a little easier.
Can't you read?
Last warning.

And let's all play nice, kids.
People are entitled to their opinions on the prequels no matter how wrong we might think they are. Going out of your way to go after someone with a different point of view, is as bad as the people who take potshots at us from afar.
Live and let live.

Is it a bad sign that they're only taking two years apeice for the new films, or was that the same for the other six and they just took off a year in between production of films?
IIRC, pre production on AOTC was underway as TPM was in theaters. The same for ROTS as AOTC was released.
Also, they seem to be working on scripts for the sequels well in advance. That makes planning the films a lot easier.
Patricier, this may be off topic, but requests for pirated material are not allowed.
Further requests will result in thread lockdown.
EW claims there were some small scale reshoots done over the summer.
