I was watching a few of Ady's Yoda clips on youtube (When Yoda's lips move more) and in the description of one video that was released in 2009 stated that the effects weren't finished. So does this mean that Ady improved Yoda's lips moving even further? 

I enjoy Voyager for the most part.

Have we shared the Voyager Torpedo Count video recently?

Are you talking broadcast date or production order?

I will say this for those things. The idea that humans evolved into them makes me laugh but other then that they do look pretty amazing. If they had just been some random alien creature of the week i don't think anyone would be laughing at them. My hat goes off to the special effects people who didn't let the fact that it was a bad story stop them from doing something that I think looks pretty impressive on a TV show budget.

I hope everyone has a beard.  Even the women and children.

Possibly. I suppose it all comes down to the fact that I've got trouble picturing Han Solo in a movie along the lines of those Star Trek reboots.

Sounds great, TV's!

I'm a huge TNG fan (nostalgia goggles firmly in place) but the devolving episode has always been one where, once I remember that's the one I'm watching, I skip to the next episode. 

I've never grasped how this show doesn't even show a grade school level understanding of evolution/Natural Selection, although to be fair, that's oddly common in sci-fi.

He looks over at Luke.

I had a dream that I had enough money to bring one ot.com member with me to Denver and I picked Silverwook because I owed him for all the DVDs.

But 005 dressed up as Silverwook (or his avatar, anyway) and tricked me.

Tricksey 005...

Pardon me for asking. But what is the 4th wall you are referring to and why is so bad by braking it?

Yeah, when Agent Sitwell is spilling the beans on the rooftop, he mentions "Steven Strange".

Marvel is doing a cool thing with CafePress where you can get a SHIELD ID card for $1.50 shipping.

It seems to be getting hit pretty hard, I finally got it to load and upload my picture this afternoon.

That's so awesome! Not only seeing Frink, but hearing a crowd react to your edit has to be an incredible feeling.

We don't even know that Lucas even knows about this change. We didn't even KNOW this was an SE change until recently. We know nothing about the logic behind it.

The only point that needs to be said is that Ady prefers the wider shot, NOT because Lucas himself cropped it, but because he thinks it looks better. This is his edit that he is sharing online. It's his call, no matter the reasonings behind it.

I never imagined that Ady restoring something back to the original would draw so much ire.

*thinks about the Boba Fett Accent Debate*

Nevermind.

Not so much ire as uncomprehension as to why some people cannot accept and are not willing to entertain even the possibility that a change from how something was originally in the Star Wars Original Trilogy could actually be better, like its impossible that they made mistakes in the original shooting of the films or simply ran out of time to get everything as they would have liked which is the most likely case.

No sillys, this



is half-blackface. Half-whiteface.

Okay, so the cockpit has to be wider in ESB to allow for more movement, fair enough, but then adjustments/compromises have to be made with framing to avoid showing the edges of the cockpit window and risking breaking the fourth wall. Either they forgot to do that for the theatrical release or GL changed his mind decades later. In either case it is an improvement in my book, one of numerous improvements GL made with the Special Editions IMHO.

My friends, this is how canon is made. Lucas walks into a room and makes two toys talk to one another.

I'm recording another episode of my friends' "Playing Doctor" podcast tonight. We're covering the New Series 2 finale "Army of Ghosts/Doomsday." I know that one of the hosts is eager to get rid of Rose, I'll be sure to shed a tear for her.

Also the other transition in the film is right after that controversial "turn around" scene with Carol - an exterior shot of the Enterprise and as we approach the bridge the black bars come down...

SilverWook said:

Most of the womanizing in TOS comes from the insistence of the network. Kirk is the hero, therefore he should get the girl. The miniskirts were the idea of Grace Lee Whitney (Yeoman Rand), so you can't really blame misogyny there.

It's incredible how much misinformation about TOS still exists, even when every episode is available at a variety of websites.

At the risk of being "that guy"...do we have an relatively updated tentative release date for ESB:R? I've plugged and pimped ANH:R to so many people that they are up my thermal exhaust port wondering when ESB:R is coming out. So just curious for myself and many others in the intersphere.



Edit: I should clarify - I'm not asking for a release date or even any hard info, just curious what the last tenatively, ballpark, estimated release time is (Early 2015, late 2014, etc...). You'd be surprised how hard it is to find the last mention of a release date, aside from this thread's title of course.
