General Star Wars <strong>Random Thoughts</strong> Thread

The Nightly Show host Larry Wilmore did a bit last night on how George Lucas plans to build affordable housing on the huge tracts of land he owns in Marin County, much to the apparent dismay of all the rich people who live there.

Larry went on the forgive George for the prequels, (listing many of the things about them we could agree on here) but reminded everyone Han still shot first. :)

The Empire is now The First Order

The Rebellion is now The Resistance

 Seems like brand destruction and a dumb change to me.

So the Rebels are victorious at the battle of Endor and 30 years later they are still the resistance?

 How do you defeat an entire galactic empire in one battle? What, all imperial troops abandon their posts and gathered together in the same star system?

It's not my stuff. My house isn't big enough for dead video formats as it is. ;)

I knew a guy with one of those big dishes in his backyard when I was in college. He apparently saw a lot interesting stuff on those live feeds.

Are those big dishes still usable in this crazy digital age?

Second half was visually strong, but short on story.

 Lol, it's a trailer.  A teaser trailer.

Trailers should still frame the story for you without giving too much away.

 We still have seven months to go. Less is more, unlike the trailer for the new Terminator flick. ;)

The original SW trailer also didn't tell us very much.

Thought I would signal boost this here…

http://www.hometheaterforum.com/topic/340021-vhs-archaeologists/

"I have a fantastic collection of VHS and Beta I assembled back in the 90s… rare movies that haven’t been released to disk, off air broadcasts, animation that has since been censored, weird public access programs… amazing stuff. I carefully catalogued everything on index cards and always recorded at SP on high quality stock. But I know that I will never have time in my lifetime to go through and digitize the treasures in the collection.

Are there video archaeologists who are looking for batches of tapes to explore? I live in Los Angeles and would gladly give them away to anyone who would appreciate having them and will pick them up. It would really hurt to have to haul them away to the dump in a truck."
