I can't believe this is from the same people who worked on Toy Story and other familiy movies :D

 Bored animators do things that would clash with the squeaky clean image of their studios all the time.

When the eventual 4K version of Episode One comes out, someone will probably discover two battle droids making out or something far in the background. ;)

The link is still there. It's the image that's been removed...

George has said in the past he didn't appreciate how popular Fett was at the time, (nor understand why he's popular) and later regretted killing him off. He says Fett did escape.

Fanboys were bestowing reverence back in 1978. ;)

Why is it so improbable that he's not dead? He was the only one who fell into the Sarlacc wearing a suit that would provide some degree of protection, and built in weaponry to give it one bad case of heartburn.

He might even be retired and regrets his past now. A lot can change in 30 years.

You could do a callback to the cow sound FX gag from AOTR, when the Banthas appear. And do it again for the Jedi SE shot of a Bantha herd. :)

It would be nice if they got Jeremy Bulloch back, even if it's just one shot in the suit.

Yeah, a NSFW would be appropriate here. The link is enough without posting that image here. I'm invoking the "no excessive profanity" rule.

Because all humans look exactly alike. ;)

Captain Tarpals gets all the chicks with those whiskers.

Only Ric Olie has more magnetism!

That they felt they needed to update a 38 year old comic book blows my mind.

It might have been cheaper to reprint the 1997 SE adaptation Dark Horse did.

Wookieepedia says the average Gungan lifespan is 65 years.

I thought Boss Nass was the ONLY gungan "Fat Guy" because he's their leader. It doesn't make sense, but then again, the name Jar-Jar does?

 I think it was on the DVD commentary that mentioned that's what Gungans look like when they age. As with Jabba, George was probably going for a Sydney Greenstreet vibe.

There was a fat Gungan or two elsewhere in TPM.

Also, sorry for the delay. I burned myself out a little while back and I'm just starting to recover now.

 That's okay. I'm just anxious to know the differences in the '71 version. No sense in tackling this thing when you're worn out.

When did we start referring to George as The Guy?

If Mr. Binks is still around, he would look more like Boss Nass now.

Another scoop from a site I've not heard of before? Giant grain of salt time. ;)

Any updates?

Am I the only one who thought this was about people dying in 7 days after seeing (something) star wars (related) before reading the actual post?

 That only happens if you don't return the VHS back to the video store, or worse still, forget to rewind. ;)

I think that receiver/recipient is the accepted term. I was a care giver for nearly a decade, and never heard a better alternative.

You shouldn't the terminology bother you though.

Wasn't sure where to put this one. ;)

I needed a good laugh today.

Perhaps, but I wouldn't want to watch it alone, the last act is kind of dark. Bottom of the Mariana Trench dark. (And I've watched Manos uncut!) I feel like I've seen inside Tommy Wiseau's long haired leathery soul and am forever changed.

This was the first time I'd seen the entire movie. Saw a few minutes back when Adult Swim ran it as an April Fool's joke, and thought it was some Cinemax flick.

I was pretty surprised Rifftrax didn't censor or cut anything. My eyes! Some people should never ever be seen naked.

If Disney ignores the prequels but keeps promoting the SEs, how are they going to explain who that ghost next to Yoda at the end of ROTJ is?

 First of all, it's still Lucasfilm, not Disney at the wheel.

Secondly, at Celebration there was a lot of prequel love. There was a clear undercurrent of resentment toward the current OT focus.

I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before it resumes infecting the rest of the franchise. It's already started in the Marvel comics.

 Resentment from whom?

There are plenty of prequel references in Rebels, so it's not like it's being ignored.

The Clone Wars are 50 years in the past by the time of Episode 7.

 Fans. There was quite a lot of murmuring for attention to be brought back to the PT era. As for Rebels, that's Clone Wars stuff. I know I'm not alone in holding that show in a much higher regard than the PT.

I'm sure as long as JJ and or Kasdan are involved the new trilogy will probably steer clear of that stuff. But the young twenty-somethings that are coming up are chomping at the bit for synergy between the two trilogies.

Seriously though, what's left in the prequel era that TCW has not explored? (They ought to consider finishing the "lost" episodes.) I doubt the ten years between TPM and AOTC holds any surprises.

Well, isn't it that way in the comics? I liked team ups when I was a kid. That's what made the first Avengers film so much fun. And I don't think it's ever been done in movies before.

It may have been done to death since the 70's, but this crossover was a pretty big deal when I was a kid.

There is already connective tissue between GOTG and the rest of MCU, but I don't want to see them turn up on Earth unless there's a darn good reason.

If there's ever a crossover with the Avengers, it should be on GOTG's turf. Then they end up needing Starlord and company's experience to survive, after getting their asses handed to them of course. ;)

The Room. (Rifftrax Live version) How Frink has survived watching this thing in it's pure undiluted form is a miracle!

Nine out of ten Johnnys.

The year isn't over yet. ;)
