I have never seen that before but now I will have to check it out.
Thanks, I am always looking for new films to try.
Tiger Lily is a spiritual ancestor to fan edits in it's own way. It's also funny as heck.
Ok, some people need to chill out. You know who you are.

And now I have the mental image of two armies made up of gonk droids rushing into battle on a great big muddy field in my head ...
Is this close enough?
Yes, but now we're waiting for news on the 8K restoration. ;)
Ah, it all makes sense now! :)
So, they might have covered Palpatine's kidnapping by Grevious as already seen in the TCW micro series?
Yeah, I loved that shot. I wonder if J.J. or someone else involved was a fan of the Terran Trade Authority books? There were similar vistas in this volume I used to have...
When I saw Guardians of The Galaxy, some of the ship designs gave me a similar vibe.
Now there's a fan edit that cries out to be made! Mash up YOLT and some 60's Godzilla. ;)

Are these the same people who are mad at Disney for the EU being rebranded as Legends? I can't keep track of all these factions anymore...
Nope, they are the ones who think that the ST is unnecessary because Star Wars is 1-6, aka the Tragedy of Darth Vader. They also want the Clone Wars brought back, because that is apparently necessary.
They are also the ones who dismiss any good thoughts on TFA as "nostalgia."
The timeframe of TCW was limited even if they had gone a couple more years. Once Ashoka had left the Jedi, we weren't too far off from the events of ROTS. Rebels is shaping up as a fine continuation.
And I really don't understand why nostalgia is a dirty word to these people. Lucas made tons of moolah on nostalgia for his hotrod teen years, and nostalgia for Flash Gordon and cliffhanger serials.

It's not like they showed them in bed or anything. ;)
It's curious they only seem to have done LALD and Moonraker. (Although Moonraker seems to be at the start of the fake 3D titles they did throughout the 80's, which cheapened the brand in my opinion.) There was hardly a popular film or tv show they didn't have a set for back then.
As you can find action figures based on R rated movie franchises at Toys R Us these days, I doubt 007 toys would make much of a fuss now. There might be a fight or two if Dad brings home a Honey Rider action figure. ;)
It looked like a wrecked Super Stardestroyer to me. The regular SD seen in the opening shot wasn't upside down, and it's bridge tower was intact.

Wow.
So does the kids book have the sex scenes and the guy getting tossed out of the blip?
That was going to be my next question! ;)
I had the Live And Let Die Viewmaster reels once. The included story booklet didn't shy away from the Tarot Card ploy Bond uses on Solitaire.
I'm sometimes surprised at how much 007 merchandise there was aimed at kids. Mego executives must have been laughing their heads off at being able to sell a Holly Goodhead doll. I think they left her last name off the box though.
I could understand if they couldn't use the actor's likenesses, but May Day looks like a rejected 70's design for a Batman villain!
It was a woman. ;)
Wow, did they ever make one for License To Kill? ;)
I want to hear the Howard The Duck tape too!
Is that an SE change, or something you've whipped up?
Is the Hasbro MF big enough to stick a Go Pro in the cockpit? That should settle things...
Okay, I guess I should have said 2011 SE's. Or SE 3.0? It's not like I've watched any of those versions recently. ;)
Not that I'm in the mood for you tonight, but kindly elucidate?
The pro SE people I see on Twitter seem content with the Blu Rays, (and see no need for an OOT release) and now they're happy with digital download Foxless versions too. At least that's the vibe I'm getting from them...
You could put them up on Vimeo? Frink's edits have been left alone there.
Ever see someone leave a lit cigarette on a concrete pillar unattended outside a store before going inside, and then come back out to smoke the rest of it?
I know coffin nails are expensive, but this boggled my mind!
As SE fans already have what they want, to be upset at the OOT being released would simply be an act of spite.
Marvel seems to have a level of autonomy, (they are still releasing 3D Blu Rays when Disney can't be arsed to do so in the U.S. these days) so Lucasfilm may have similar control over it's assets.
Well, they are nearly twenty years old. ;)
General Mills owned Kenner back in the 70's and 80's.
I have dim memories of such tourist knick knacks, and they did have ridiculous proportions. Tacky, sexist, yet still kitsch.
