The last time they did a show set in Gotham without Batman, it didn't last very long. We'll never get a tv series with Batman actually in it, so long as the suits are scared nobody will pay to see the big screen versions in the pipeline.

Yay, not only more Jedi, but a Jedi who supposed to be in hiding on Tatooine.
My interest in this series is officially dead.
Without knowing the context, it's a little early to be running for the escape pods, don't you think? I don't believe Obi Wan sat around on his butt for twenty years in the desert, doing absolutely nothing, except for sending mental emails to Yoda, and communing with the Force.

Well it's the same creative team behind the show so I'm sure in time we'll be seeing a lot more female characters. Don't forget there's a second main female cast member in the form of the ship's pilot.
You can see a bit more of her in the 30 second version of the trailer.
I know, and trying not to poo-poo it too much.
But Pink armor? Really? :-P
Forgotten we've seen a pink R2 unit on TCW already? ;)
Peter Mayhew has said he wore an original suit for the MTV Movie awards in '97. I doubt any of the publicity suits Lucasfilm has would fit him!
I think this was the moment I began thinking, "gee, wouldn't it be great if they were making sequels?" ;)
That's the fastest way to get the price jacked up if it's uncut though. ;)
There also the scope cropping to consider. It doesn't seem too severe from the screenshots.

The relief that it isn't the Chewie costume from the sixth film seems prevalent. Should I look up how he was portrayed, or will that be something I'm sorry I saw?
I'm somewhat curious, but hesitant.
(shut up, Frink) ;-)
Ugh. It's like a Halloween mask.
Worse still, all those overpriced Rubies Chewbacca costumes are based on the Episode III look. :(
I hope their license runs out soon.

Their redesign in ROTS never made any sense to me. As there were Wookiees in TPM and they looked like they fell right out of the OT:
IIRC, they took one of the original Chewie suits out of storage and recolored the fur for TPM.
The funny thing is, Tarfful and the other Episode III Wooks look better than Chewie did in the movie. I presume it was another attempt at making an OT character look younger, ala Creepy Puppet Yoda.

There are actually two prints on Ebay right now. One is the 1982 version with the Kostal score.
IMDB claims the cuts weren't made until the late 60's.
What do you think of this?
What do you guys know about any 1963 reissue of Fantasia? A scope version is supposed to be part of it's long history...
Is there a snowballs chance on Bald Mountain that the Pastoral Symphony is uncut?

Bob Iger just tweeted this photo from the VII set:
It's honest to goodness REAL CHEWIE! (Accept no ROTS substitutes!)
There is no way to express how excited I am now!!!!
Oh my god! Chewie's back baby! I was a tad worried they were going to go with the Episode III look which seemed slightly off, even if the Wook was twenty years younger.
I had lunch with friends of the family today, who are as far from being fans as you can get, and they brought it up in conversation without any help from me. Thought that was interesting.
When did this "May the Fourth" thing start? Was it from the fandom, or some marketing drone at Lucasfilm?
I was thinking of his more recent marriage, and hushed rumors of a giant cake that Jar Jar jumped out of, wearing the metal bikini, but okay. :P
EraserHutt? ;)
I could see Leia being tempted by the dark side, but hopefully Luke has taught her a thing or two about those forks in the road.
What a relief! :)
I don't know what bugs me about this shot more, the bad 1980's mall fashions the ladies are wearing, or the complete non reactions to Lando's announcement that the Empire has taken over. Was it free tranquilizers day on Cloud City? ;)
I'm amazed you've coined that term without seeing Hayden in Virgin Territory yet. ;)
Hmmm, how to ban a bot if they haven't posted any messages, and haven't hit on me yet? ;)
Could one of you cut and paste what they're saying in a pm so I can see?
Somebody has to be Major Buzzkill on this I suppose. Someone should archive all the bitter pessimists that will appear between now and when the movie opens. Could be comedy gold. Especially if they change their tune.
I haven't felt this giddy about Star Wars in a long time. Not going to let anyone rain on my parade. :)

What are you talking about? A new trilogy is practically confirmed:

(in all seriousness, though, I'd be really surprised if WB wasn't kicking around the idea of making more)
As I've said elsewhere, it wouldn't surprise me if Agent Smith and Morpheus doing tv commercials lately was a way to gauge interest in new movies.
Perhaps J.J. will do the opposite? ;)
