Someone has to put those into a Rogue One fanedit. 😉
I thought perhaps that poster might have been added to the model during production on ROTJ, but the VHS box for Star Wars didn’t look like that until around 1984 or so.
Some of those shots in Battle For Endor are actually unused ROTJ footage.
Don’t worry about it. We probably all have unpopular opinions on popular films now and then. I see people go off on movies I like elsewhere all the time.
I was sexually taken advantage as a young lad (16-17 somewhere in there) (assaulted is a strong word, it wasn’t physically forced more like mental manipulation) but I didn’t bother telling anybody because I knew I’d just get laughed at or made fun of about it.
I’m sorry this happened to you.
I am also pissed at being accused of offending victims of sexual assault and misogyny. No reasonable ration person should be offended by what I said earlier.
You don’t get to decide who your words offend.
I do have the right to have an opinion on what is and isn’t reasonable to be offended about. The mere mention that something that is possible is in fact possible is not something that should offend anyone.
What’s offensive and what isn’t is entirely subjective. You’re free to say what you want and others are free to be offended. Being offended that others are offended, which is what you seem to be, is hypocritical.
Believing in due process means assuming everyone’s innocence until proven otherwise. That includes the women who approached Sen. Flake in the elevator. You had no reason to suggest they might be paid actors and you’re being called out for it. As they say, freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.
Of course, what the stories those women shared have to do with a completely separate accusation, I have no idea. I’m saddened they were assaulted, but their pain isn’t relevant to Kavanaugh and Ford. One person’s unsolved murder doesn’t make someone else’s murder suspect guilty.
It’s relevant to all the elected idiots who started saying Ford was confused or mistaken right off the bat. Then there was the congressman who made the Ruth Bader Ginsburg joke about her being groped by Abraham Lincoln. The old gentleman’s club on capitol hill just doesn’t have an effing clue.
Nobody is saying you’re responsible for anyone’s suffering. You’re the one who gets offended at the drop of a hat around here, and you can’t even grasp that others might be offended by a poorly worded statement on your part?
That elevator incident was hard to watch. I had to change the channel. If that woman was an actor, she should be in movies.
Why? Do you want to be banned?
Women have had to suffer decades, (if not more) of not being believed. Saying too bad I offended you can be perceived as being callous. A little sensitivity goes a long way.
I can’t believe I even have to be explaining this.
I was making fun of the crisis actor theory, which is a ludicrous and misogynist theory that should be made fun of.
Specifically, a crisis actor theory that Warbler irresponsibly put forward. I say irresponsible because it minimizes and insults these women and any women (and any men) who are survivors of sexual assault, and it disgusted me to read his comments. That’s why I posted what I did. Hopefully there are no survivors among us (either members or lurkers) who had to read that nonsense. But apparently we’re no better than Alex Jones here, who put forward the same theory about the Sandy Hook children. No one who bothered to watch the emotion those women displayed should be able to even question their sincerity. Might as well question if Dr. Ford is also an actor.
I could have phrased my disgust more specifically the first time, or more civilly if you prefer, but I stand by the sentiment.
oh brother.
All I did was say they could be actors. And for all we knew yesterday, they were. I didn’t say they were actors, I said they could be. I guess you would have it be that any woman anywhere in the country and get up and say “he raped me” and automatically the guy she points to should have have his career and reputation ruined and and should be put in jail and throw away the keep. I am so sorry for being such a sexist pig that I don’t automatically believe any woman I have never seen or heard from or know anything about.
Seriously, it wasn’t possible that some leftwing political group couldn’t have put two women up to doing something like this to pressure a Senator on live TV, that has a swing vote in an extremely important political decision that ramifications that could last decades?
I won’t apologize. I have nothing to apologize. All I did was say that it was possible. If I offended any victims of sexual assault, too bad. Anyone offended by what I said is ridiculously oversensitive and not reading my comments in rational logical manner. I never said these women weren’t sexually assaulted. I said that for all we knew they weren’t.
But I guess in today’s society we should automatically assume all women tell the gospel truth all the time. It puts a new spin on “To Kill a Mockingbird”, doesn’t it?
You should have stopped at the second paragraph.
Came across one of those 9/11 nuts on livejournal once. Really wanted to reach into the screen and throttle them.

I got it, and that’s why I laughed.
Oh, my mistake!
Not funny.
Are the Fox seasons cropped to 16:9 like they are on SyFy these days?
I’m sure the usual suspects elsewhere will be pulling their hair out and posting angry comments to the interwebs. 😛
Politics is one thing. Invoking Clinton revenge conspiracies as an underlying cause of one’s confirmation woes is another.

He was the lead singer in the Holiday Special segment back when they were Jefferson Starship.

Invoking the Clinton Conspiracy Train™ yesterday was just odd. Judges ought to be above that level of nonsense.
Wouldn’t a history of alcoholism be a disqualifying factor in of itself?
Watto dropped his
They accidentally pressed thousands of copies of Song Of The South by mistake, and have to start over now. 😛
Nobody that wants him confirmed is going to want to go down that road, even if a photo turns up of him looking totally wasted.
I don’t drink, never have been a drinker, but some of my friends and classmates did incredibly dumb things where alcohol was involved back in college. My best friend had a house party, and got into one of those stupid drinking games with a couple girls he liked, and passed out. That ended the party pretty quick. You never saw a house party clear out that fast.
Nothing else happened beyond that, but it’s a miracle he didn’t die that night. He had no memory of that night afterwards. Sadly, I was the only person who was willing to tell him what happened.
A good sign Disney will hopefully take note of.
I thought she first identified him in private therapy sessions in 2012?
Then maybe they need to do a little more investigating, talk to other former classmates and such? Oh wait, they don’t have time for any of that.
I have a lot of traumatic memories from when I was a caregiver. Ten years worth. Some of those are burned into my brain in agonizing detail. If there was a pill that could erase them, I’d be tempted to take it.
I can even recall the face of a sadistic bully from 40 years ago.
But what did I have for lunch two weeks ago? Not a clue.
