Their redesign in ROTS never made any sense to me. As there were Wookiees in TPM and they looked like they fell right out of the OT:

Frantically trying to finish my senior project by the end of the 5th so I can graduate university.
I should put on some Star Wars jams.
Bob Iger just tweeted this photo from the VII set:
It's honest to goodness REAL CHEWIE! (Accept no ROTS substitutes!)
There is no way to express how excited I am now!!!!

By not uttering that terrible pun.
Where's the fun in life if you can't indulge a pun every once in a while. Besides, it's not like they made it a two day event with a Revenge of the Fifth. ;) =P
First time I had ever heard of it was from fans. Wasn't until a few years had passed before Lucasfilm started to adopt it.

That 1080p is inherently better than 720p is a concept that many hear are having a difficult time understanding.
No one is denying that fact. Normally a 1080p transfer would easily trump one that was 720p. What you're missing is the fact that this particular transfer was so poorly done that rescaling it had little to no effect on the picture quality.
Foreign actors take on American accents for roles all the time. Sadly, most of the good talent that's out there these days is found outside of America.

I don't know. Abrams seems to be more of a star wars guy than a star trek one. And Episode VII isn't written by by the unholy trinity of Orci,Kurtzman, and Lindelof.
It's more of a glass half-empty thing. No, it's not being written by Orci/Kurtzman and Lindelof, but on the other hand Abrams threw out Arndt's draft so he could completely re-write it. The fact that he's doing so with Kasdan's input is the glass half-full perspective.
Tossing out what most likely was a Lucas/Disney idea and bringing in Kasdan to help with a total rewrite is, to me at least, much more than half full. He's looking for guidance from someone who was very involved in the film largely considered the best of the series.
Again, this is Kennedy calling the shots. The Mouse Ears are watching from the sidelines. This new trilogy is based on an outline from Lucas and it was Lucas' idea to bring in Kasdan.
There are rumors that Ardnt is actually secretly working on the script for VIII now.
There are a number of directors I'd like to see take a shot:
Guillermo Del Toro
Duncan Jones
Neill Blomkamp
So this premiered today. Great set and creatures...but pretty bland overall. Until that last audition anyway. =P
It was a bit bizarre how much they'd turn the cheese up in parts. Especially with new characters. But I think the film worked as a whole.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Once again the trailer for the film utilizes scenes ultimately cut from the final film. Odd habit. Great film. This was more like it. Spidey had a better sense of humor this go around and the world felt just a bit more comic booky.
Then I'm really curious about what you think of this article. =P
The teaser for The Phantom Menace ended up in front of The Siege and A Bug's Life.
Interestingly...the teaser for Attack of the Clones ended up in front of Monsters, Inc. and then the teaser for Revenge of the Sith followed in front of The Incredibles.
I'm betting Avengers 2.
Three to ten if the rumors of another role not yet cast are true.
There's no evidence that he "mobilized" anyone. Did people from his site come here? Yes. Is the only explanation for that, that he made a call to action to come over here and show us what for? No. It's just as likely that he vented about it on twitter or wherever and they found their own way over here.
There were only maybe two antagonistic people from his camp. The rest came in here explaining why they're into WoW or asking why we can't get along. Meanwhile, C3PX kept trying to stir the pot and insulting everyone.
What it boils down to is this. Originaltrilogy.com is a community. Fanedit.org is a community. WoW is a community. People meet, bond, even marry thanks to that game. So of course there are going to be things like fansites and *gasp* even podcasts about this thing that millions of people have gotten a lot of satisfaction out of.
I've never spent a second of my life playing WoW but I can respect those that do.
Meanwhile in an alternate universe...

I'm at work right now and the guy I work with next to me has been browsing the same website all day - - - fanedit.org - - -
It's the saddest bloody thing ever. Where people bloody re-edit big budget movies...why they changed this, why they cut that, how to do your own edits...Oh my god!!
It's one thing to complain about bad movies with a bunch of saddo nerds, but to waste your life away re-editing them and talking about why your version of the movie is the best...well call me whatever you like, but Jesus this is sad beyond all sadness.
Here's a link
That we're all nerds in the end so why make fun of someone that nerds out about something different than you do.
Wait what, Asajj Ventress? That's....what? That's one of those things that sounds so crazy it might be true.
I sure hope not.
No way, the PS1 TPM games were great. That's just...whatever that is.

Hmm....
The list is about a year old and the only relevant thing to come from it is Rebels. I wonder if the rest is still in development, dummy URLs to throw people off the scent or they're cancelled projects.
So apparently this is a thing now. You'd think after the 3D re-release they'd have learned not to lead with TPM by now.
They're not really "Rebels" as yet though. This whole show is about the formation of the Rebel Alliance from its very earliest beginnings to where it eventually ends up before the start of SW77.
