Well, here's what I've cooked up so far:





The actual jpegs DO NOT HAVE the brownish-tan backgrounds. Why? So you can print the image on kraft paper so that it will precisely match the Complete Dossier packaging. You can get a roll of kraft paper for $5 at Staples. Cut a piece that is approx. 8" x 14" (21 x 35cm) to feed into the printer. Before I print out these artworks, I add a thin black boderline so that I will know where to cut out the final insert.

Of course, when printing out on kraft paper, the images are not nearly as bright/crisp/clear as depicted. They still look good, though.

I'm not sure what you mean, you mean like the separation between official cannon and EU canon? Or the hierarchy of canon where the films are at the top followed by the scripts folloed by the novels followed by "official" EU followed by "non official" EU?

It's a work of fiction and if it evolves for better continuity, then I don't have any problem with it.

I agree that each one of us gets to pick and choose what we want from the Star Wars universe. I for example don't really get much into the EU. I like Shadows of the Empire, but didn't quite like Splinter of the Mind's eye all that much.

But "Canon", is something Lucas gets to decide because it's his universe.

Yep, with stuff like this in the works for next year, there is not a doubt in my mind...


Coming Soon: The Making of Star Wars

October 25, 2006

With the release of each Star Wars film, there has been a companion book that explores the definitive story of the making of the movie... with one glaring exception that will soon be rectified. For the 30th anniversary of the original Star Wars, Del Rey Books is correcting that oversight with the release of The Making of Star Wars.

He won't put the OOT in the 30th anniversary set because that would bring down his overall "vision." His reasoning will be that for the 30th anniversary he had to make the films "perfect" and because of that the OOT can't be present.

I believe millenniumfalcon.com was created after a falling out with the regime at TF.N.

(in reference to the PT) It seems to have worked out pretty well the way it is. It all matches up because it's all made the same way.

LOL



The great PT characters:

Anakin Skywalker
Darth Vader
Obi-Wan
Palpatine
Darth Sidious
The Emperor
Gran Moff Tarkin
Watto
Jar-Jar
Sebulba
Kit Fisto
Ki Adi Mundi
Mace Windu
Aayla Secura
Qui-Gon
Luke
Leia
Boba Fett
Jango Fett
Chewbacca
Yoda
Mon Mothma

To me it is just two categories.

Negative Jerks, and Reasonable Fans.

They don't have to love everything to be a "reasonable fan", but if all they are doing is focusing on the negative, then they are just negative jerks.


(weeps for humanity)

EDIT: Wrong quote. Sorry.

What Go-Mer-Tonic forgets to tell you is that he has been banned many times over at TF.NET for trolling and flaming other members. The Basher's Sanctuary over at TF.NET is more of a social thread where people who have the same tastes post without the thread turning into a basher/gusher war.

Don't forget "I'm 35 guys!" De-lurking because I, too, am tired of Go-Mer's PT gushing on a board whose focus is to celebrate the original three films. No, Go-Mer I'm not feeding into your "hate" theory, I just find your constant gushing somewhat annoying.

To post slightly on topic, a friend asked me why I dislike the Special Editions of the Star Wars films. I answered her with: "Suppose you go to an art gallery. You see a painting that you absolutely love. You buy it. You hang it on your wall. You speak of its brilliance to all who will listen. Twenty years later there is a knock at your door. The artist is standing there. He barges past you, goes to your basement where the painting is hung. While you stand there speechless, he drops trou and wipes his butt on the painting. He crumples the canvas up and re-hangs it. As he leaves, he says to you 'That's how I wanted the painting to look originally'. You say 'But that's not the picture I bought and loved! Now it's like unto toilet paper!' The artist shrugs and heads out."

I agree with you. The project I'm planning supposes that the Sith, not Stormtroopers, attack the Jedi. Either way, I think one must conclude that Yoda and Ben are not the only Jedi to survive, hence my post just before yours.

In fact, an earlier idea for a novel was following a Jedi marooned on a primitive world around the time that Ben is retiring to Tatooine.

Okay. For the record, I never get tired of the repettetive slams on the prequles.

Well folks, we watched Episode IV tonight. This is kinda embarrassing but she was all over me tonight and (here comes the embarrasing part) as much fun as that was I said to her "honey, if this were any other movie I'd make love to you till the cows came home.....but it's Star Wars and you've never seen it! Let's watch!" I felt kinda geeky turning down a woman but damnit! This may be the only chance to really expierence Star Wars with someone who hadn't already seen the films.

So during the film she pretty much watched attentively until she was feeling...uhh...you know....so I had to attempt to spurn her advances (which I failed a couple of times where I thought she didn't really need to pay attention) however I think she got the jist of the film. I had to explain a few things, like I told her to watch when Ben is telling Luke about the Force and I even had to tell her who Darth Vader was and why he was taking the princess and what the "Death Star Plans" were. She even asked me who that alien was "oh that's Greedo, he's a bounty hunter". I'm not too sure if she understood Jabba's role in the film but what are you gonna do I guess. She seemed to enjoy the film as it got later into the film. Once the falcon was in the Death Star docking bay she tended not to make anymore advances and pretty much watched.

Final Verdict: She said she liked the film. I told her not to lie to me, just to be honest but she was adamant that she enjoyed it, so I guess that's as good as I'm gonna get. I should have asked her what she liked about it, but I'll be seeing her tomorrow so I'll see what she says.


I kinda made a joke with her, I said something like "our relationship will work if we can get through all six Star Wars movies and we're still together" to which she responded "There's Six Star Wars movies!?!?!?"

Thanks for reading everyone.....I'll keep you posted on what she thinks of the next film, The Empire Strikes Back!

I didn't say most of the world loved Jar-Jar, I said there weren't really all that many that actually hated him.

Lucas conducted exit polls around the time of TPM and he found that Jar-Jar was actually a hit with the target audience (children) and a lot of women loved him as well. He says that most of the complaint came from 30 somethings on the Internet.
