Aww, I kinda liked the idea of having a spoiler thread for each season, so in the future it’d be easier to find what we’re looking for to yap on about? (And for any new Mandalorian watchers not to get spoilt, or put off visiting a general spoiler thread)
I’m happy to go with the flow though 😃
I find a crappy shortcut on my phone’s homescreen does the job just fine 😃
Though if anyone knows how to change the logo, from a rubbishy Chrome based icon - to the OT site logo, please me let me know!
An update on the Star Wars Hotel, aka ‘StarWars: Galactic Starcruiser’:-
“Just Announced: Reservations for #StarWars: Galactic Starcruiser - the new multi-day vacation experience coming to Walt Disney World Resort - will open later this year!”

I’m kinda interested to see how this plays out, how successful it will be. It looks freakin’ gorgeous, though likely to be way out of my price limit!

I am absolutely loving the series so far - and agree with Tobar & Fated.
Seems like things are stepping up for Picard too, am curious to see how the show handles that as it has been very well paced so far, and taken the time to explain the events of the galaxy!
I am hoping for some mention of The Dominion War or Deep Space Nine - it does seem that the Romulans went back to ‘being the enemy’ after fighting alongside the Federation against the Dominion.
Maybe they found out that…
all along? 😉

Lots of fun and humor, and not a bad tune either 😃
Bob Iger confirms Season 2 will debut in october

😃
Seems a long time away - but eagerly looking forward to it.
I hope Rogue Leader does a similar spoiler thread for season two!
(and that we get some news on a blu ray release for season one)
^ I am loving those images!
An old time piece of poster art, I think I like this more than I probably should, just for the symmetry of the logos. Just something about it…
This is from 2014, on the rumor of a possible release of the unaltered theatrical versions Original Trilogy films - is a little outdated given the ownership issues - but still features some relevant information and viewpoints…
‘Unaltered Theatrical Version of Original Trilogy Coming to Blu-Ray (Rumour)’:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRwjQDw2_8s - at the Star Wars News and Views youtube channel. (2014. 18 minutes long)
About:-
“Reports state that the original, unaltered theatrical versions of Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi are in the works. I give some background on the suppression of the original trilogy, it’s history, the complications of such a release, and my thoughts on this rumour.”
I really hope zombie84 (and his colleague at Star Wars News and Views) does more of these type of videos - or turns some of the content from his awesome Save Star Wars & The Secret History Of Star Wars websites, and also from his fantastically comprehensive book The Secret History Of Star Wars, onto a video format.
And maybe updates both his tremendous websites and unrivaled book as well 😃
ooj and the other moderators rock, Jay and the former mods too! This place is awesome thanks in part to everyone here, but also for the mods efforts in keeping this place going and making the site what it is.
Ths shit they get at times baffles me.
Long live the OT.com!
#ReleaseTheOriginalTrilogy
Dr. Krogshöj - oojason’s post in Tobar’s Star Wars: Underworld (Live Action Series) thread could be right up your street; not only is there now a 10 minute behind the scenes video of footage from the ‘Star Wars: Underworld’ live action tv series, but also a downloadable batch of documents on the show too 😃
Apparently this was concept art for the 1993 ‘Super Empire Strikes Back’ video game:

For ooj to use if there any further ‘misunderstandings’… 😉
^ I just love the animation on this simple gif! 😃
A big welcome to our fellow Star Wars fans and new members of the community! 😃
A little bit of everything you mentioned there for me, ooj!
It certainly does stick in the throat that these editions are now sold without any explanation of which version we are actually purchasing - or official information as to any changes made to the films we are buying!

I love the concept of having the title crawls within the image (yet not keen on the art itself), still cool though!
and JJ Abrams does also state he would like to see the unaltered theatrical versions made available for the public to buy…

Interesting how the ROTJ logo very obviously doesn’t fit with the two prior films’ vintage logo designs.
I am with you ATMachine, and much prefer the boxier ROTJ alternatives, which match the other logos better:
or
^ even without the box lines itself?
I just posted a review of Rise of the Resistance on my YouTube channel:

That looks a whole LOT of fun to experience - thanks 13las!
I am on the Mark Daniels’ Black Hole art right now - thanks ooj 😃

What’s so wrong about saying you don’t like the sequels?
Nothing at all, as I said - “That’s okay and a reasonable opinion” - to not like the Sequels, or parts or aspects of them (or an other Star Wars releases). Why claim this when it was obvious this was not what was meant.
Wanderer seems like a very respectful person, he doesn’t say anything toxic, and he doesn’t say anyone is wrong for having a different opinion than him.
As above, “In fact i would say TLJ fans are the ones who just use racism and sexism as a card against people who have genuine criticism of the movie. Its quite toxic really…”
So TLJ fans are toxic for apparently bringing up race and sexism - but not when he does? Okay.
It seems like you just think he’s toxic because he doesn’t like the sequels,
As above - no.
And it seems you an he are the ones who like to use the word ‘toxic’ here.
and because he shared a video that you didn’t even bother to watch, you just assumed it was a toxic rant when it really wasn’t.
What are you on about? I have seen the video. Are you confusing me with someone else?
And also, if you don’t think that some TLJ defenders accuse TLJ haters of racism and sexism, you clearly haven’t been on Twitter.
No, I’m not on twitter. I am on here, though.
That doesn’t excuse someone stating it is toxic to bring racism and sexism into the debate - despite having done so themselves (like Wanderer has done).
If you have a problem with my post above pointing that out then that is your problem (why so touchy about it?) - along with your misconceptions and erroneous claims.
Another thing, as oojason and others have said on here recently, it is not a question of ‘haters’ or ‘defenders’ when it comes to discussing new Star Wars content - or sides in a debate - it is indeed just opinions.
Those who look to create and maintain ‘sides’ can get swept up in their entrenched views, a ‘hate’, a will to ‘win’ - and may stop listening to other viewpoints. Or often with mistaken assumptions or conclusions, and not give appropiate thought to what has actually been posted before them… before jumping in digging the hole deeper themselves.
