I think Ady should remove the extra eyes from that lizard because: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sleen

Now it just feels weird that the lizard has 6 eyes. I'm not against the idea that there are Earth animals in SW universe. Who is against it?

Adywan does not let the EU affect him, so, sorry about that. If he was trying to make an edit that matched Wookieepedia, he wouldn't be able to change anything!

Destiny is pretty awesome, BTW. Half RPG, half FPS, it's more like having a persistent character you can take to all modes, and all modes are in-universe. Not as MMO as I expected, but other random people do show up in your overworld instances, but only your party can enter the instanced mission zones. We ran into a random overworld event last night, which reminded us it Guild Wars 2.

Eager to play again after work.

What about them?

Also, 97 SE's wouldn't get you Boba's laughable Australian accent. BTW, just because he's a clone doesn't necessarily mean he'd talk with the same accent as Jango, would it? Isn't that more about upbringing?

Yep. Thank you for understanding and saving us a dozen pages of fighting (see a few years ago on the Empire Revisited thread).

Let's not forget, the scream was added to Luke's fall in Cloud City in '97 and then removed in '04

I've heard that Matthew Wood actually removed the scream and when he told Lucas, he shrugged and said "OK".

I was just wondering, Adywan, how you plan on handling Adywan's fall

I'm sure Ady will handle his own fall quite gracefully. ;-)

Real answer: SECRETS

Our downloads failed a couple times, so we didn't get to play last night. Other friends got in after problems and played for a bit. One friend couldn't play on the same box after his wife had played. Either a bug or a beta restriction.

I hope this will not be as weird as Cowboys And Aliens. Even though I mentioned it was an ok movie it is not really Star Wars. Although I would like to see a cameo appearance from Matt Smith.

Yes?

Yeah which is why I didn't understand why there needed to be a new scan of the OT since the blu rays are in 2k (really 1080p)

1. 2K is still better than 1080p, with 4k magnitudes times better.

2. It's a terrible scan.
3. For future preservation.

Wasn't Episode 1 the last Star Wars shot on film (until ep 7), with Episodes 2 and 3 quite famously being all digital? In that case, I don't think we should be concerned about any conspicuous absence of Episodes 2 and 3 from rumors of 4K restorations (and if they didn't do it for Episode 1 for its 3D release, I don't think anyone plans to bother doing much further with that one).

Right. I thought all movies being theatrically presented needed to be in 4k and wasn't thinking about the original runs of Clones and Sith.

There's still a lot of 2k out there.

More teasing from the set:

This time the full-sized new-model 38 ABY X-Wing.

JEDIT: It might be an older model, it's pretty beat up. Maybe a 25 ABY. Good year, they used the *pretends to talk like he knows something about cars/X-Wings*

Exactly, faulty memory coming from radio drama.

The way they're raving about how good those 20 minutes looked, it certainly sounds like this is the new 4k transfer and not the old one from Lowry.

Don't forget the overwhelmingly positive reviews of the DVD/Blu-ray.

As for Vic he had maybe 15 minutes and two episodes out of two seasons on DS9 and he was a good character played by an actor who could sing?! I mean it may be the only time in Tv history a character who was a singer was played by an actor who could sing and if you want to understand why fans like myself love him then take a look at this. It's one of my favorite episodes of Star Trek fullstop and and I think this review says it all.

"It's Only A Paper Moon" is your favorite episode of Trek? I don't even know what to say to that.

It's a great ending of the season/closing of the series. And if they decide to bring him back, they could have the next president (Aaron Pierce?) negotiate for his release or Jack breaks out for some reason. I like it better than S8's ending, with Jack just running off.

I love that Jack got to take down 20 more people, and a couple in non-traditional ways. Nothing can beat "bring me a hacksaw" or that time he threw a screwdriver into a guy's chest then hit him with a plank.

That's my vote. My tickets to the screening in Atlanta have already been refunded though.

NOOOOOO! You must go! :-(

All sold out. Besides, six hours is quite a drive for the SE. I'm sure we can find someone who has tickets who is obsessive enough to recognize what went into its making.

We need to find someone BEFORE they go so they're looking for differences......
