Star Wars moving forward without Ms. Fisher

"We don’t normally respond to fan or press speculation, but there is a rumor circulating that we would like to address. We want to assure our fans that Lucasfilm has no plans to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher’s performance as Princess or General Leia Organa.

Carrie Fisher was, is, and always will be a part of the Lucasfilm family. She was our princess, our general, and more importantly, our friend. We are still hurting from her loss. We cherish her memory and legacy as Princess Leia, and will always strive to honor everything she gave to Star Wars."

That’s nice of them to say.

The new Star Wars comics - a general discussion thread

I heard R1 is getting a comic adaptation, but not until after the Blu Ray is out in April. Why do they do this? I would think adaptations should be released before home video, otherwise it’s pretty redundant, right? Unless they insert deleted scenes into the comic, which AFAIK they didn’t do for the TFA comic (and even removed scenes, from what I’ve heard).

So they can take out all the better scenes (like the all-important “Rising Gantry TIE”) that they reshot and removed from the movie.

This is why nothing gets done in this country. It’s a zero-sum game. No compromise, no meeting in the middle, no concession, no “hrm, maybe I’m wrong about this one”. Just “I’m right and you’re not only wrong but also stupid and irredeemable.”

It’s a race to the bottom and we all lose.

I love how it’s “not compromising” when I don’t abandon my principles, but it’s just being committed when Dems refuse to give two inches on any of theirs. Why are only Conservatives expected to concede and liberals are not?

For the record my post wasn’t directed towards any one person, here or anywhere. But thanks for makin’ the case for me man.

Ranking the Star Wars Soundtracks
Time

After listening to the Oxygen on TPM I’ve come to think of Duel of the Fates as more of the theme of the larger dark vs. light conflict.

Also a huge new appreciation for Anakin’s theme. It really does give you the whole character arc in one piece of music (and it dovetails nicely with Imperial March). All that music deserved a much better movie.

Good lord the audience for the Obama farewell speech was annoying. Shut up and let the man talk.

JEDIT: I blame Millennial entitlement. Can’t shut up for five seconds while someone else talks.

But it sure was a good speech.

Some of it was a bit fluffy, but there was a lot of good about uniting as a country again, respecting each other as Americans, and participating in the system.

Not a bad President, all said.

I’ll respond at length to the posts, but new controversy: I’m having serious misgivings about the medicine prescribed. This is getting…interesting.

Make sure to let your physician know. There are other meds that may better sit with you system and be able to better help you move forward.

You have my complete support Mike.

Yep, lots of different meds. Like therapists, it’s definitely a good idea to find one that works best with you.

Oh.

Aren’t lay laying face down?

Nah, I did a lot of working with print stuff in university and I can almost guarantee that’s all brand new unprinted paper that’s not been handled or run through a printer. You’d definitely see text through the back of the top sheet. Plus, no staples? Maybe three paper clips? The folders are all just unmarked and unbound? No way would professional documents of any importance be handled like that.

Myself, for fixing the incessant donging in my car because of low oil pressure. Just swapped out the sensor for eight bucks and it all seems good now.

Good job, me.

Well done you, well done.

😃

Thanks!

Damn teenagers and their overactive hormones.

I’ll never get the smell out though.
