I’m glad you and your family are okay Poita. I hope the damage to your house and belongings can be repaired soon.
I’m with you ZkinandBonez… RO definitely nailed the look of Star Wars. I much prefer that than the sleek, somehow more advanced tech from he prequels
Chris Rea - Driving Home for Christmas
What you are talking about is called dramatic irony. It occurs when there is so much meaning and revelation in the story, that you can enjoy and take pleasure in watching it over and over again throughout the years even though you already know what will happen in the plot.
Just for your own edification, this is not what dramatic irony means. Dramatic irony occurs when the audience is privy to information that a character is not, which in turn creates suspense or humour depending on the genre of the story in question.
Please, give generously this holiday season and help fight PRS (Partial Registration Syndrome).

I would also like to be apart of this private thread
*Waits for Frink to make comment regarding spelling.
Man that’s cool 😃
This might be a happy compromise, reduces the pink in the highlights, and will hopefully please everybody, (I like it 😉):
God that’s beautiful.
What an awesome first post.
I just recently started poking around Off Topic again for the first time in a long while and saw the news that your dad passed away Warbler. I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss, and to let you know you’re in my thoughts.
I believe you’re thinking of the moon landing, which was also done by Kubrick.
Very cool. The attention to detail in these edits continues to amaze me.
Also, I’d just like to say how pleasantly surprising it was to open a Revisited thread and see an actual update from you Ady 😃
When I was kid, I froze my Boba Fett, and kept him in the freezer for a while. Why I didn’t freeze Han, I have no idea.
Revenge.
Which, as everyone knows, is a dish best served cold.
They don’t seem the types to get outta control like that.
Obviously, you’ve never seen “Tatooine Moisture Farmers Gone Wild.”
I actually had to check ROTJ to see if you were putting us on. How did I never see this?
It looks like if you go with DVDs for TOS, you’re getting either the original or remastered (i.e. enhanced effects) versions, but not both. The blu-rays, on the other hand, give you the option to watch each episode with original or enhanced effects.
I don’t get why they even took a Star Destroyer design and morphed it into a TIE fighter at all. Those are two completely separate ships that have nothing to do with each other; it’s like turning in aircraft carrier into a jet…which only works if you’re Marvel 😉
I’m fine with the new U-wing (kind of reminds me of Buck Rogers’ Thunderfighter)…
…but, given how close this is set to ANH, I wish they’d simply stick with existing ship designs.
I just saw this the other day. Kinda makes me wish I collected vinyl… it’s pretty cool:
and a GIF, for those too lazy to click on the link:
I can’t remember when I saw Star Wars for the first time… I’ve just known it and loved it all my life (I was born in '77). My earliest memory is of my dad recording Star Wars for me off of First Choice Super Channel (now The Movie Network), when it aired on TV for the first time in February of '83. I would have been 5 at the time, but already knew Star Wars well enough that I was over the moon at the prospect of actually owning a copy of the movie (I guess my parents must have rented it from the video store pretty regularly until then). I actually still have a copy of that VHS cassette.
As for ESB, I don’t think I actually saw the movie at the theatre, but I remember my dad and uncle coming back from the movie and debating whether or not Vader was really Luke’s father.
But I do distinctly remember seeing ROTJ in the theatre while on vacation in '83… good times.
In light of this news, I believe we’re legally required to post the following image:
As it pertains to Jon Snow it was a bit soon I admit but I assumed no one would really care.
Requisite Luke meme as response:
I want to see a brainless Han Solo remote-controlled by a race of go-go dancers.
Of course… it’s a story so simple, a child could do it… a child could do it.
Sorry to see you leave the forum Ady, but to quote Obi-Wan, “You must do what you feel is right, of course.”
Take care, hope you’re able to sort out your financial issues shortly, and best of luck with ESB:R.
That made me want to go watch ANH right now 😃
