At Celebration Rian listed the films he had Lucasfilm watch in preparation for VIII:
Those are red lenses, they’re just very dark. This is very similar to your reaction to Thrawn not having red eyes when he in fact did. You might want to check your monitor’s calibration. =P
Jedit: Here are two of the photos with the contrast and brightness enhanced to highlight the lenses:
Nope. I read about the changes to the 2004 dvd long ago. I wanna know what’s new in the Blu Rays.
If you’d bothered to check, those have all of the blu-ray changes listed as well.
Interesting. For the sake of consistency, I really hope they went with the straight SW77 suit. But your theory lines up with what we know they’ve done with the classic Stormtrooper armor. Keeping the essence of what makes that version what it is while enhancing certain aspects for our current HD world. Here’s John Knoll discussing this at Celebration, with photos. I highly recommend checking out that entire panel, it was packed with pure gold.
Vengeance comes to “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” this fall at 10 pm!
Gabriel Luna (“True Detective,” “Matador”) will roar into the lives of Agent Coulson and the team, as Robbie Reyes the unstoppable Ghost Rider, which was revealed today at Comic-Con International in San Diego.
“Season 4 will unquestionably be the series’ biggest, most ambitious story yet, and it all begins with the introduction of one of our greatest legacy characters in Ghost Rider,” said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. “When the Spirit of Vengeance rides into S.H.I.E.L.D., it’ll change everything.”
I did a double take when I saw the VHS for sale at Kmart.
Are…are you a time traveler?
Some might say it was streets ahead…
Sweet Christmas! What a wonderful bounty this week:
They’ve spoken about that but I won’t say anything further in respect of spoilers.
Does anyone know if there’s a site that tracks the continuity and discontinuity between the Abramstrek comics and the films?
No offense but I’m gonna trust Chris Rock over anyone on this forum.
I wouldn’t call Leslie Jones one of the best and freshest comics today.
A lot of people disagree with you.
This is the first I’m hearing of them.
If your perception was correct she wouldn’t be working in show business.
Leslie Jones is not funny and she’s barely in “show business.” The only acclaim to fame she has is that she’s a cast member on SNL. Their casting has been terrible the last few years. I challenge anyone to find an SNL bit of hers that is commonly hailed as hilarious. The only reason she landed Ghostbusters is that Feig needed a woman of color and so grabbed the only one he knows of being familiar with SNL.
If they wanted to get someone with some actual talent they would have gone after the likes of Yvette Nicole Brown, Donna Meagle, Aisha Tyler or Rosario Dawson.
That all said, I do feel bad criticizing Leslie in light of the recent racist harassment she’s received at the hands of trolls on twitter. No one deserves that.
I’d venture a guess that this probably isn’t a theatrical poster. As they’ve done in the past, this is likely going to stay an exclusive that they handed out to attendees at the convention.
Past examples:
You tend to forget that if ESB might be the best film of the saga, ANH still has the best script. ESB is “just” a sequel; ANH is a builder of worlds.
I’m with Mala on this one. You wouldn’t give two toots about any of the characters or their struggle without Star Wars.
That what I was kind of thinking. If they scanned this fan bust of Tarkin:
And rigged it properly, it’d make an excellent basis for a digital head replacement.
So while everyone’s been speculating about the appearance of Bail Organa, most have neglected this shot:
The hair looks too dark but he has the cheekbones and carries himself like Tarkin. Dunno…
This is not the post you are looking for…
I think his characterization was more important than his narrative arc, so I think dropping him into some new situation in the current canon is going to work out fine (whereas, for example, Kyle Katarn doesn’t have much reason to be there with the Rogue One crew around to steal the Death Star plans).
Luckily Kyle isn’t too intrinsically tied to the theft of the Death Star plans. He’s certainly known for it but in reality it’s just the easy introductory level to his first game. It’s completely separate from the plot of the rest of the game and his character arc. But that does bring up another point.
Whereas the Death Star plans aren’t that important to Kyle’s story, Dark Troopers most certainly are. And they make an appearance in Rebels this season. It would behoove them to cameo Kyle in some capacity for however long the Dark Troopers play a part this season. Given the huge internet reaction to the now sadly disproven theory that Rogue One was secretly a Jan Ors movie, they really ought to take that into consideration and bring the pair of them into the canon sooner than later.
And personally, I’d be perfectly happy with Kyle sticking to his original mercenary roots and leaving his force wielding days behind to Legends.
…& what sounds like Tom Baker
It was confirmed that that is indeed Tom Baker which is of course extremely exciting.
I can’t even…
And the franchise already sucks without this remake. The 1984 Ghostbusters is the only thing with the title that’s slightly watchable*.
Excuse me? Both animated series were great, the video game basically was Ghostbusters 3 and pretty dang good. And I’m just starting into the IDW ongoing comic series but so far it’s been really good too.
Eyes not red?
That. Was. INCREDIBLE.
