The Empire would probably have a local leader that would order troops to shoot a crowd like that.
I’ve been waiting years for someone to put in Tie Fighters swooping in. 😛
Maybe it’s time to bribe Warwick Davis? 😉
Found something interesting on instagram tonight.

I don’t recall seeing the disclaimer that the movie might be too scary for kids!

bag of cocksYep, I quotes myself. What’cha gonna do about it, huh? Ya cunt?
With Disney’s announcement today of more streaming Star Wars series in thw works, I imagine they would want to do something with the Ewoks again?
Releasing the tv movies and the Droids/Ewoks cartoons on Disney+ is a no brainer.
Is this Jabba’s hookah in a 1984 Doctor Who story?
Never knew about Black Friday before, that’s incredibly interesting and saddening.
It’s puts all the BTS troubles on the new films in a different light.
Would everybody please take a chill pill? This means you,
Wait I’m confused, people saying Fated-Dualist is a oojason sock? I thought jason had just changed his screen name. Can someone clear this up?
Jason left for personal reasons back in September. He did not change his name here. He is no longer on the forum, period.

Yeah, THX situation sucks. We can only hope Poita returns and we get an update on the 35mm preservation.
Not to be confused with the 007 flick. 😉

This is one of my “holy grails” kids! My favorite non-Star Trek Roddenberry project of the 1970’s. It was a tv movie in the U.S., and a theatrical in Europe with a bit of nudity added. AFAIK, it’s never been on home video and I doubt Disney is going pull it out of the 20th Century Fox library and dust it off anytime soon.
What do you think, sirs?
For American Graffiti. The clouds and sunset were added they were not originally there. The original shot was different. Its a minor change honestly, especially considered what he did to Star Wars and THX 1138.
Oh, I thought you were referring to the sunset shot in THX, haha! Yeah, on the one hand it’s a shame that even American Graffiti, a non-special effects driven film, had to be meddled with by George on all the digital releases, but on the other hand it’s such an inconsequential change that it doesn’t negatively affect the film at all.
Wasn’t some of the text at the end about the character’s fates altered slightly to sync up with the sequel though?
Was just watching this short clip from a BBC interview, broadcast June 1980. Prowse is clearly lovely both for Jackie Collins to talk to and anyone to listen to. Particularly funny to hear of the horny ‘fan mail’ sent to him from fans who’d managed to fall for Darth Vader! Definitely one of the weirdest fetishes I’ve ever heard of…
Unfortunately he’s accompanied by a background rendition of ‘Rule Britannia’ from Musician’s Union protestors. After about a minute’s research, from what I can tell they were protesting because of the BBC’s decision to axe some of their house orchestras due to a deficiency in income.
I was thinking about that this morning. Keep in mind what Vader looked like under the mask wasn’t known and only hinted at in ESB, which hadn’t been out long when he was interviewed. I’m sure a Chippendale’s dancer must have done a Vader act at some point.
I’ve heard the actor who played Pinhead in the Hellraiser movies has groupies too. 😉
This music video from 2017 was Prowse’s final screen appearance. Dave was a promoter for the band!

Darth Vader being a rock band manager is something I need to wrap my brain around.
A few Prowse roles you might have missed…
A minotaur in a 1972 Doctor Who story.
An android in the 1970’s British kid’s Sci-Fi series The Tomorrow People
An alien monster on Space: 1999 SPOILER! It’s actually a robot.
Jabberwocky (1977) He played two different knights in this.
And one of my personal faves, the personal bodyguard of the lead singer of Disaster Area in The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy
I was watching news coverage of one of the glide tests for the Space Shuttle Enterprise on tv in June 1977, and for some reason they showed a clip from a new space movie that had not been on my radar, Star Wars. It was my first glimpse of Darth Vader, and I didn’t even know his name yet! I had a dream that night that this sinister, scary fellow was chasing me, that’s how big an impression Dave made on me as a kid.
He was also the first Star Wars character I ever saw a photo of unamsked, not an easy thing to find in the early days.

Deborah Harry was in the movie? 😛
Seriously though, I’ve never noticed the blonde in Jabba’s palace before…
It seems doubleofive got there first and saved it 😃

The original tweet and claim by author Paul Duncan (which he later deleted):-
I don’t know where the heck he got the idea Greedo’s subtitles were added in 1983. They have always been in the movie since 1977.
Must be open season on bad info lately. I’ve seen claims elsewhere that Splinter Of The Mind’s Eye was going to be a tv-movie, and that the Ewok films were partially shot on video. No idea where this stuff is coming from…
The heck?

Not connected to us though. 😉
Isn’t Cinefex more focused on the FX side of things? Marquand probably wouldn’t be shooting models at ILM.
Not just for Splinter of The Mind’s Eye , (and the original SW novelization he ghosted for Lucas) but for novels based on the first three Alien films.

Is it possible the elements were lost in that vault fire some years ago?
Oh no. 😦
