Probably a software hiccup of some kind. Could you take a screenshot next time you see that happen?

The original Marvel run did touch upon Leia's internal thoughts on Alderaan.

That's no moon! It's a space station!

Those are "sticky" threads that can't fall down the page ever. Usually reserved for important information.

Was tempted to make some off topic threads sticky during the recent wave of necro post bumping around here. ;)

I don't recall Shelley Duvall being in THX? ;)

More like the kid's table at Thanksgiving? ;)

Boy, I haven't heard that in a long time! Works for me, and the Tom Petty song will contrast nicely. ;)

Yes, they were. ;)

UFO's loomed large in the pop culture even before Close Encounters came out.

By late '77, everybody was trying to get on the Star Wars/Close Encounters bandwagon. I think even Kiss played up sci fi trappings in their stage act.

IIRC, Peter Frampton got in little bit of legal trouble for having Jawa lookalikes cavorting on stage in his concerts at the time.

Yeah, I hope it's a smokescreen. It's not like Lawson refuses to sign photos of Wedge or anything.

Ric Olie will fly out of a wormhole at a crucial moment to save the day of course. ;)

Disney has been exploiting OT nostalgia in a big way, especially with Rebels. It would be a major miscalculation to not give us one last adventure with some old friends. That the old gang is coming back is one reason this has gotten so much mainstream media coverage. There wasn't nearly as much buzz for Episode III.

It would feel like a rip off, especially after all this secrecy.

When is the real trailer going to be released?

With the original actors.

Hoping Mark Hamill really is not in it for only 2 minutes or whatever.  Or i will only see it once.

 We will probably get something at Celebration next month.

And as I've said before, Mark didn't get back into shape just for a glorified cameo.

Being a billionaire, one would think that Donald Trump could afford to get a decent hair transplant over sticking with that stupid double combover.

 That's the alien parasite which is controlling him. ;)

Fixed!

I think you're just imagining things...

Apparently not a very good one, though...

JEDIT: Just so I'm not making fun of a guy in "critical condition," here's the statement from his publicist:

"He was banged up and is in the hospital receiving medical care. The injuries sustained are not life threatening, and he is expected to make a full recovery," she said.

 Given how boxed in Santa Monica airport is by development now, (some locals would like it to see it close) setting down a plane on a golf course without hitting a house, or hurting anyone on the ground is the sign of a damn good pilot to me!

He walked away from a helicopter crash landing before as well.

However, it is cool he's a pilot in real life.

Is it possible a lot of those films didn't get much exposure on television?

I saw most of the Frankenstein, Dracula, and Mummy sequels on tv growing up, but never even heard of the Paula films before.

I know, but somehow, I think he was a lot safer on the set at Pinewood.

Holy S***! I hope he will be okay!

After Leonard Nimoy's passing, I don't think I can handle another icon of my youth leaving the building right now...

Poita, please clean out your inbox, it is full!

It would be like Tron Legacy, where the titular character is barely seen in the movie. ;)

It's become a bit of joke in more recent years, sadly. Showing what we've become used to as a society. I guess Linda Blair will be in a Snickers commercial as her Exorcist character next.

 She already did a bad spoof of it back in 1990, so anything's possible...

I have a hard time believing Mark Hamill would go to to all the time and trouble getting of back into shape just to appear in one scene.

The suspense is killing me. Time to take my sedation!

Unless my roommate switched them out for jelly beans again...
