Wilford Brimley asked:
What am I, chopped liver?

Just like how they cut off the minister’s knees in Little Mermaid because people thought it was suggestive.

Here’s the YouTube mirror for anyone that needs it:

I thought it was a great segment!

Been some time since I last saw the film but it seemed to me that Luke put himself into a self-imposed exile.

If the others ever needed him, he trusted San Tekka and Artoo to know when and if to disclose his location. Separating the map ensured that it meant both of them agreed that he was really needed.

What the hell is wrong with people:

Not Solo Anymore

Tonight on Nightline!

Some more from tonight!

Have fun: http://www.slashfilm.com/rogue-one-deleted-scene-images/

I’ve heard it’s Stephen Stanton, the guy who does their Tarkin and who voiced Raddus in RO.

Star Wars Rebels Season 3 - Mid-Season Trailer

HBO was working on a documentary about Carrie and Debbie to come out later this year. In light of what happened they’ve moved up the premiere to this Saturday.

Here’s the trailer

He never said they were the negatives. A new interview that just came out with the editors of Rogue One directly refer to them as old dailies.

Definitely looking forward to Kong but that falls more into Fantasy, not Scifi.

Woody Harrelson Eyed to Play Han Solo’s Mentor in ‘Star Wars’ Spinoff

After playing a mentor to Katniss Everdeen in “The Hunger Games” franchise, Woody Harrelson might help guide another iconic character’s journey.

Sources tell Variety that, while talks are still in the early stages, Harrelson is the top choice to play Han Solo’s mentor in the upcoming “Star Wars” spinoff starring Alden Ehrenreich.

Donald Glover and Emilia Clarke also star, with Phil Lord and Chris Miller directing. Disney had no comment.

The movie will be set prior to “Star Wars: A New Hope,” like the other “Star Wars” standalone project, “Rogue One,” which hit theaters on Dec. 16.

Kathleen Kennedy and Allison Shearmur are producing the spinoff film, which is expected to begin production in January. The movie is slated to hit theaters on May 25, 2018. Harrelson and Shearmur have close ties from their work on “The Hunger Games,” when Shearmur was overseeing the project for Lionsgate.

The ensemble has already begun filling with rising stars, but executives wanted this role to go to an actor with considerable clout, and started meeting with actors over the past several weeks.

The first “Star Wars Story,” “Rogue One,” has set the bar high. Along with overwhelmingly positive reviews, it has grossed more than $800 million worldwide, and is still in theaters.

In the past year, Harrelson has kept busy, appearing in the cop drama “Triple Nine,” “Now You See Me 2,” “LBJ,” and “The Edge of Seventeen.”

The coming year looks just as busy, with “The Glass Castle” opposite Brie Larson, “Wilson,” and the highly anticipated “War of the Planet of the Apes,” in which he plays the new antagonist. He is repped by CAA.

Really not a fan of this idea.

Personally, I think the best fit for this role would be Perry King. How fantastic would it be, to have a former Han Solo mentoring the new one?

Another year, another batch of films! Here’s what we have so far:

Coma
Ickerman
Attraction
Rememory
Blade Runner 2049
War for the Planet of the Apes
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Transformers: The Last Knight
Ghost in the Shell
Alien: Covenant
Mindgamers
The Circle
Life

What are you looking forward to this year?

“LOOK GUYS IT’S IMPERIAL WALKERS JUST BLOWING UP THEIR OWN BASE FOR NO GOOD REASON”

When are they ever depicted destroying their own buildings? They’re taking shots at enemy troops.

Plinkett nailed this in one of his recent videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9-vP7kJheI

“The use of AT-ATs was purely fanservice, because when your own base has been infiltrated by rebels, you don’t use a scorched-earth, non-precision tac vehicle to attack them. You’re going to blow up you’re own ****. Who is their military tactician, Ray Charles?”

They aren’t AT-ATs. They’re AT-ACTS:

A larger version of the standard combat AT-AT, the AT-ACT walker features a dedicated cargo bed for the transportation of heavy building materials or combat munitions. It was deployed at major Imperial construction projects, such as shipyards and sprawling research installations.

“LOOK GUYS IT’S A DROID TELLING US ABOUT THE ODDS AGAIN”

Yeah, that’s what droids do.

Says who? R2 and BB8 don’t tell people the odds. “Come on Red” didn’t tell Luke or Uncle Owen the odds about anything before he blew his bad motivator. That one droid in the Jawa crawler didn’t tell anyone the odds about anything. There was that little droid on the Death Star that just ran away from Chewie.

Yeah, you might want to rethink this idea you had.

Artoo says the chances of survival…

“LOOK GUYS IT’S THE YOU JUST WATCH YOURSELF GUY AND HIS PAL BUTTFACE PASSING THROUGH”

Yeah, that was dumb. Could definitely have done without.

“LOOK GUYS IT’S JIMMY SMITS JUST STANDING THERE BUT AT LEAST HE WAS IN THAT ONE OTHER MOVIE”

Or you know, Princess Leia’s father, the guy who she states in SW sent her on her mission to begin with. Sounds like someone that would definitely show up in A PREQUEL TO SW

“LOOK GUYS IT’S IMPERIAL WALKERS JUST BLOWING UP THEIR OWN BASE FOR NO GOOD REASON”

When are they ever depicted destroying their own buildings? They’re taking shots at enemy troops.

“LOOK GUYS IT’S A DROID TELLING US ABOUT THE ODDS AGAIN”

Yeah, that’s what droids do.

“LOOK GUYS THERE’S A SHOT THAT LOOKS ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE ONE FROM DAGOBAH”

No one has any idea what you’re talking about here.

“LOOK GUYS THERE’S C3PO and R2D2 WHO DO NOTHING IN THE WHOLE MOVIE EXCEPT SAY HI WE’RE HERE”

Yeah, could have done without that.

Your complaints continue to prove you have a poor understanding of the film and possibly the franchise.

Yes.

Furthermore, in the case of Tarkin, he distracted from the primary villain: Krennick.

I would say the main villain was supposed to be Tarkin all the way, and then Krennick was created just because by the very premise of this movie, the villain would have to be defeated and shown as incompetent, and going by his rank, position and reputation in ANH, Tarkin wouldn’t have been the case.

However, a Star Wars movie centered around the Death Star one week before the beginning of ANH without any trace of Tarkin would have raised a lot of questions as well.

I think the solution they found to solve this issue was, among many other things, elegant, regardless of how good CGI was.

^This.

And it all depends really, when it comes to CG. I still say Jurassic Park looks stunning to this day. I think RO’s Tarkin will age fine.

Another one!

I’M SOMEBODY NOW!

My parents had no idea and were surprised when I told them that he had died in 1994.

That’s awesome, and please do make that thread. I’ve been meaning to get that book myself!

Just stumbled upon this awesome looking show:

DEEP SIX is a story about the perils of running and operating in deep space while following the pilots and key crew members of the first deep space station known as Deep Six.

The series will draw on hard science themes to tell the story and will be using practical VFX. We will be experimenting with actual models, and using high quality projected images as our space backdrops for our real sets.

We invite you to join us from day 1 of this exciting project!

They’re currently crowdfunding the project. Check it out!
