Interesting idea they have for this season. Worthy of Dr. F and Tv’s Frank. I lament we won’t get any really old movies or shorts anymore. Miles O’Keefe!!!
And Crow’s current puppeteer still can’t work the beak right? Yikes.
I feel embarrassed for that horse.
Did you even read the tweet? The horse likes it!
If this doesn’t make you smile today, nothing else will!

It goes without saying that if Stan had not been persuaded that a little movie called Star Wars would make for a great comic book, Marvel as we know it might not exist today.
That’s a good thing?
Marvel was struggling a bit in the late ‘70’s. The industry was in a slump overall. Star Wars’ amazing success led to a ton of books being sold and not just SW. It’s no coincidence other Marvel books had swashbuckling space characters and spacefaring storylines around that time.

Starchaser: The Legend of Orin gets a Blu-Ray release, and it’s possibly the most incompetently botched disc release in recent memory.

You might be able to use a quick shot of the Scout Walker pilots …
Good suggestion!
I guess with some very good sound editing the pilots could hear the catapult firing and the grenade falling.
That way no need for matting or extra shots.Perhaps if I use the classical bomb falling whistle and have the pilots react to that?
There’s probably a Star Wars equivalent of that sound somewhere.
You might be able to use a quick shot of the Scout Walker pilots reacting as if they notice the grenade coming towards them before you show the Walker blowing up? All you need is the head turn.
Maybe matte the incoming grenade into the pov shot? Probably flip the shot as well…
Let’s keep heavy TLJ discussion in the proper thread.

Releasing the Ewok movies or the Droids/Ewoks cartoons uncut would be sweet, but Disney doesn’t seem to give a rat’s ass about their own back catalog these days.
Maybe we’ll see K2 before he’s reprogrammed? I just want it to just be a good/evil switch under a panel on his back. 😛
It’s a trial run by Jay to see if they generate some revenue to offset the costs of running the forum. He has been shouldering that burden alone for many years now.
Images are coming up broken…
This could work with a Mission: Impossible type scenario, (the tv series, not the Tom Cruise movies) where Cassian gets a new objective every episode, and has to assemble a team best suited to the job.
We all know Cassian and K2 aren’t going to buy the farm, but new characters around them can rotate in and out, and we’ll never know who in the team will survive.

I do not understand how team Carpenter in any way thought Tom Atkins was a good fit for hot romantic lead opposite a twentysomething (in both that and The Fog).
Because Carpenter goes against the grain and doesn’t cast actors the way studio heads think he should? Who else would have cast Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken? (Or Elvis for that matter.) He was still thought of as that wacky teenager from Disney comedies at the time.
I think the casting of The Fog remake speaks for itself. 😉
So long as it’s not banner ads for hot Twi’lek on Twi’lek action. 😛
Mystery Blue dot, we hardly knew ye…
Can you guys post a screenshot? We haven’t had ads in years…
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie. Did the Empire know the plans had been transmitted to Raddus’ ship before they boarded her? Or did they look through the logs, and figure it out after the Blockade Runner’s escape?
In hindsight, it might have been a good idea to not kill Take it! guy and find out what he was handing off. I presume the troops may have captured some other rebels alive for interrogation though.
Does Vader actually know that the doomed rebel is holding the plans in his hand? From his POV the rebel is trying to get the jammed door open. Unless Sith lords can read minds now?
He didn’t seem more or less agile than in ESB. It’s not like he was doing ROTS level acrobatics in R1.
I’m sure there will be a quick cash grab set of the same old masters once the Fox Deal is finalized ahead of Episode IX next year.
There was a banned member fanning anti-OT sentiments in one of his livestream chats a few months ago. They left out why they got banned from here of course.
Mr. Ortega is playing with fire. You don’t have to look any further than what happened to Star Trek fanfilms in the wake of the lawsuit against the Axanar production to see the potential for ruining it for everybody.
Both films were entirely shot in Northern California, so I don’t see how Jabba’s palace could have been reused, as that set was at Elstree in England. (And probably torn down when ROTJ wrapped production in 1982.) There’s also nothing remotely like Jabba’s palace in Caravan of Courage.
It’s like someone skinned an Ewok, and donned their fur…
