Well, they hired the costume designer from Abrams' Trek films, (who also worked on Blade Runner) so there ought to be a clue in the varied outfits we saw in those movies.
I know a few historical dates this month, we just aren't there yet. ;)
Not me.
Omnibus editions are fine these days, but with vintage material you lose all the ads and the letters page. A real snapshot of the time the comics originally ran in, and what was on the fan's minds.

I just wish someone at Disney would activate the Farscapestarwarcrossovermattron.
Y'know, Chris Pine as Kirk in that first Trek movie always reminded me of Ben Browder as John Crichton. Abrams and Mindel's camerawork even reminded me of that show, the way we'd fly and swerve through the hallways of the Enterprise. Pretty much everything about the "Numb Tongue" scene practically screamed Farscape to me, to the point where I'd be surprised if Abrams had honestly never seen the show.
Also, just making sure:
Unless I missed something, Disney only ever bought The Muppets, not the Jim Henson company as a whole. The creation of a Farscapestarwarscrossovermattron device, as awesome as that sounds, is a pipe dream.
Correct. They got the Muppets, which includes Kermit and the gang, but not the Sesame Street characters. They didn't get Fraggle Rock or any of the Creature Shop based productions. The insane thing now is the Henson people apparently can't use the "M" word on any new puppet based production, even though the Muppet style is clearly used.
They probably just did an image search and grabbed the first thing they saw.
There's already a little bit of Who in the OT anyway. :P
The arcade game Berzerk and it's sequel, Frenzy, would be a good source for the stormtrooper blasters.
Welcome to George's world. ;)
The movie does have it's moments. Has anyone tried to fanedit it?
Maybe we should have a Superman III thread in off topic?
Anyway, if anyone is feeling brave or foolhardy, look for the Brady Variety Hour, or the Paul Lynde Halloween Special, (my favorite) on youtube. There are complete Donny and Marie shows on there too.
No time to discuss this in committee! ;)
You know nothing of hell. ;)
Ok. Text can often be misinterpreted in a vacuum. We've had more than our share of troublemakers the past year, so people will naturally be a little cautious.
Can't help with the usenet thing, maybe someone else can.

I just made an account at the MySpleen forum. I made a post asking what to do to get the WHIO version of "The Star Wars Holiday Special." Has anyone else downloaded it? What do I need to do exactly in order to get that?
Stop posting the same thing all over the place for starters.
I think I'll start... by shoving my foot up your kbooty.
You've been on this site less than two days. Rudeness is not going to make people want to help you. You already got off on the wrong foot posting that piratebay link in the other thread.
Definitely going to get EOTW when the DVD comes out here in the states.
Context is everything, Tack. Watch some other variety shows and specials of the era, (there are a bunch on youtube) and the HS isn't even the worst of the lot. ;)

I don't think it could be any better than the prints Puggo used.
This might be true, but since Poita now has a vastly superior way to capture 16mm, it'd be great to get a copy down to him.
Alas, he's in the hospital or some kind of health clinic (right?) and I can't spare the cash...
Jaxxon would likely be willing to loan his prints out again, but I think we ought to see how that Super 8 version turns out.
I'm getting hit by surprise expenses right and left, so it's out of my reach. I would want to see more of the print to better judge it's condition for that kind of moolah. Similar auctions have been able to do this.
They just had to pick on the big green rabbit again, didn't they? You suck Yahoo!
It's an interesting artistic choice, (if you believe it was Walter Hill's original intention) but it's much too jarring if you've grown up with the original. The new prologue alone made me think I was watching 300 by mistake. ;)
One of my favorite shots, that long walk down the beach at the end, is pretty much ruined being turned into a still comic book page.
I checked the DVD specs, and there were not any tv spots included, so I'm game. :)
Yeah, I saw that one. I don't think it could be any better than the prints Puggo used. One of the screencaps looks like it's from a video source and not the print.
There is probably enough material in the hands of "top men" around here to make a good preservation of SW now.

Well...Lucas DID film scenes with 'N Sync as Jedi in AOTC at his daughter's behest before cutting them later.
I thought that was another fishy story from the former TFN admin who said Yoda was going to break wind in ROTS? Did any photos of them in costume ever surface?

Madonna at least had some musical talent back in the day. I'm sure Miley's only talent is giving her daddy's bank account a blowjob.
Hey! This isn't the dvdtalk.com forum. Keep it reasonably clean. Or I'll start making people eat one of these. ;)

But if it was a set photo from some as yet unseen Wampa footage I'm trying to imagine how Luke would have fitted in. Did he have to do a bit of Wampa shooting between blowing up the AT-AT and getting to his rendezvous with R2 and his X-Wing?
This is specifically why I said that promotional photos can depict things that aren't in the film. Like, not even in the script. Just here's a gun, here's Mark dressed as Luke, let's take a picture.
Obviously

That second photo is definitely Luke's costume from the medal ceremony sans jacket.
Yes but we never got to see him kickin' ass in those clothes or wielding a lightsaber in anger. Plus what does Luke's personnal firearm look like? I'm gonna choose to believe it looks like this when he takes it from the holster...
I'm guessing it's similar to the blaster Leia used early in the film, if not the same one.
