IIRC, the makers of Babylon 5 addressed the issue, if only to placate Harlan Ellison. ;)
Twice as sad, because his father left us too soon. Never heard about him as much as Brian Henson.
Always good to have more than one deck in your arsenal. You never know when you'll get that one mutant tape that defies logic.
Would it not have been mono in it's original release?
There has been mention over at the HTF that LIB has been restored.
Was there any evidence in the OT the Empire would use Force sensitives that way? Seems like any kid with the power would be a potential threat to Palpatine, even if they were turned.
Sci Fi had the gall to rip the premise off for one of their many reality shows recently. Although apparently none of the cursed antiques have been used to kill. ;)
Kanan looks young enough he might not have even finished his training when the Empire took over. If he trains anyone, the rule book goes out the window.
Growing up able to use the Force in a climate where it could mark you for death hasn't really been dealt with onscreen. Luke's abilities likely blended with being a good bush pilot. Others might not have been so lucky.
So long as we don't see Jar Jar in there. ;)

...it does vaguely resemble the puppet more, though.
Yes, but not the puppet you're thinking of. ;)

Let's not give Marvel any ideas!
At least they are trying to nail the OT look and feel.
The Falcon art is the most tangible thing we've seen! Goosebumps!
I guess someone won't be watching the show. ;)

Unless you follow the Battle for the Planet of the Apes timeline, that is...
When I first saw the entire series broadcast late night on weekends one summer back in the '80's, Battle had the scene establishing where the bomb worshipers came from. IIRC, only a Japanese LD release had that scene intact before the DVD sets came along.
Even if humans don't become mute savages, and peacefully coexist with the apes, you still have those pesky mutants and their god.
I think the alien sidekick has been glimpsed in the pre production art and some of the Lego toy photos that have leaked. They might be using McQuarrie's proto Chewie for the design.

Why didn't Han pay off Jabba in between ANH and ESB?
In the comics, he was on his way to do just that. The Falcon was boarded by space pirates, who let Han and Chewie go, but took their loot. Sometime later, Han and the pirate Captain faced off, and the pirate's captured Star Destroyer was wrecked and it's crew killed in the ensuing battle.
Jabba later had Han and Chewie pinned down in one of their secret hideouts for the Falcon. Unfortunately for both parties, it had been infested with omnivorous parasites since it was last used. Jabba forgave the debt in exchange for being rescued, only to later discover Han was the one who wrecked the pirates he was funding.
The Hutt put a bounty on Han, just in time for the ESB adaptation. ;)

this was the dumbest fucking scene of all time!
In some ways, this was even worse. ;)
I hope none of those skiers were actually hurt. Nobody wants to be the new ABC Wide World of Sports Agony of Defeat guy!
Beatleboy99, show us the url you're trying to link to? Maybe we can figure out why it's coming up broken.
That gif is so dark, Han's blaster fire appears to be coming out of his...never mind!
Apes Live! is probably the coolest short internal memo in Hollywood history.
Personally, I thought it was clever how they continued the series. The whole saga became a tragic time loop from which there doesn't seem to be any escape.
I had it when I was a kid. The later Sears catalog exclusive version had slightly cooler decals, but no sound effects.
I'm sure the buckets on the CGI model will open up somehow. And this old fan will chuckle if they stuff some poor droid in the "trunk", or slap those prisoner restraint units on someone's head.
If Disney actually gave a crap about TCW, they wouldn't have cancelled it.
I wonder if Warner still retains the rights to the movie?
I think we need a TMI thread around here. ;)

The AG-1980 was firmly in the "prosumer" category. (As was most S-VHS gear.) All the industrial decks I ever used didn't have internal TBC's, as the typical studio setup would likely have an external unit. How such a feature laden deck with such good specs came out at the original price point is a mystery to me. (The decks I used in college probably cost three times more.) I used mine as a home editing system for years.
The 1980 has a lesser known cousin, the AG-5710, which has the same specs except for the addition of an RS-232 port on the back. It can sometimes be found for less.
What about the Panasonic AG-5700? I have that and the JVC HR S5900 svhs machines. Got them both for $80 from a member of an anime club that no longer needed high end vcr's to acquire and copy shows because of how it's all online now.
For a regular vcr sold in 2002, the Panasonic PV-9662 (another one I have) is also pretty good. I bet that wouldn't go for a lot at all and it is way better than your usual vhs/dvd combo deck all the photo stores seem to use for their tape conversion services.
Not familiar with those models. The main selling point of the 1980 and 5710 is the built in time base corrector and other picture controls.

Because Netflix, that's why. :p
Or we're on the cusp of a new era where Disney is going to have a turnstile on everything Star Wars? ;)
I don't even get Disney XD on my basic cable. Damned if I'm paying extra for it either.
