In the song Bicycle Race (NSFW video!), released in 1978 by the band Queen, there is this line:

You say “shark”, I say “Hey man,
Jaws was never my scene
And I don’t like Star Wars!”

First ever Star Wars reference in a pop song?

The offline maps aren’t the same as the online ones, unfortunately. They’re significantly smaller, and they are fewer maps in offline than in online. Same for the game modes, fewer and lamer than online. Offline is meh. (But IIRC, every character is unlocked for offline play?)

For the Good of the Rebellion, JUST KISS

From the official site: Everything Star Wars on Disney+

May not be up to date, but what’s interesting is that (at least on iPad) each link on that page opens directly in the Disney+ app. A quick way to access Star Wars content on Disney+, and to check availability in your country. (to my disappointment, I found that none of the Vintage Collection is available in France)

(Sorry…)

I don’t really know what’s going on, but I think regarding the Bandai Star Wars model kits that the pandemic affected the manufacturing and so a lot of kits became unavailable, especially via the official US distributor. So the prices are for direct Japan imports, for what was left of the pre-pandemic stock. Hopefully the situation will soon improve. Be patient, young padawan!

If the unaltered original trilogy shows up, I think this is where we’ll see it.

In vintage quality? 😕

The Star Wars: Droids animated series is slated to join the Star Wars Vintage Collection later this year

only true fans know why this is christmas themed

(which is most people on this thread)

Christmas?

Wookieepedia says: The Holiday Special aired in the United States on November 17, 1978. Not really Christmas!

Has The Mandalorian Succumbed to the Dark Side?

Or they hired her simply for her physicality? She quite convey the might of the Empire. You don’t want a thin actress that would look like a pin-up in uniform!

Grogu is a child (maybe even a toddler?), Rey is an adult. As an adult she can better control her emotions than a child! Rey is self-taught, that’s a thing that adults does.

Exclusive Behind the Scenes Look at The Empire Strikes Back

I know all of this. It seemed to me that the effect supposedly being practical was given too much importance. Like in: practical is good, computer is bad.

It’s cool to have an effect with an old school look, I like it too. But how it is achieved is not relevant, imho. If there is a physical model, and if it is (most likely) 3D printed, that is not a telltale of a practical effect! That is not traditional model work at all! The more “natural” lighting of a physical model is I think what could be indicative of a practical effect.
