I thought you were stopping after Episode 3.

Well this sucks! Why close down a company that makes millions every year? It would be one thing to rename it something like "Disney & LucasArts", "Disney LucasArts" or "LucasArts Disney". But shutting it down? Looks like we will never get another Star Wars game ever.

They just shut down internal development department of LucasArts which haven't made a good game in a decade. I sure they will continue to license other developers to make Star Wars games, as they have now anyway.

han solo is evil? guns are evil? trick or treating is evil? han shot first?

Are people actually complaining about this? It's a joke, like the vuvuzela audio option. Were we complaining about how it doesn't accurately reflect how it sounds in a stadium? ;-)

Heather Langenkamp apparently is going to have a part in this movie, so I'm just the slightest bit tempted to see it eventually. As the part is allegedly small, though, and I'm really dead-set against ever seeing a performance by Zachary Quinto again, I'm not sure it would be worth the effort.

So I watched the short announcement thing online for LTTP2 and thought it wasn't very impressive, and it talked of using the 3D to do more up/down kind of puzzles, but I couldn't tell where the layers were.

Then I watched the trailer on my 3DS. Wow.

I get it now. I feel bad for the people having to make commercials for 3DS games, because you REALLY can't get the point across for games that are depending on the 3D.

New movie every summer with alternating standalone and "episode" entries.

How much did the original model cost, an where did it come from? I would like to know.

I will give Nintendo crap for thriving on remakes or just reusing their existing IP, but I will be buying LTTP2 on day 1.

I'm part of the problem.

JEDIT: I just hope they have LTTP1 on the cartridge. It could fit with plenty of room, I'm sure.

And Klingons in a staticy dryer!

Perfect! The best part of our breakdown is that IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE KHAN. In fact, unless its REALLY good, if it is Khan or any other existing character it would cheapen it.

But I've not seen it, I don't know.

I think have some major plot points for STID figured out. Possible SPOILERS if I'm right:

Movie starts with the crew helping out a planet that isn't technologically developed (see IMAX 9 minute preview). Kirk no longer believes the Prime Directive is the best around (see "Countdown to Darkness" comics), so the ship is hidden underwater (instead of in space for some reason). The planet is being threatened by volcanos, Spock risks his life to turn the volcano off(?).

After the mission, Kirk is called back to Starfleet Command to get in trouble. On the way back, Harrison blows up some stuff in London. Kirk and Spock are at a meeting where Harrison attacks with a shuttle, killing several Admirals, including Pike (trailers don't feature him after dressing down Kirk for the PD thing).

Kirk wants revenge for Pike's death. He claims its for London and what it represents, but its personal. Admiral Marcus (Peter Weller) won't let him go, but he does anyway.

I'm pretty fuzzy on everything else. So maybe I don't know much of anything.

My problem with the original Wampa scene is that it's a lot less effective without any of the rest of the Wampa footage. Instead of a constant, creepy and mysterious menace on Hoth, we just get two scenes of something we never see. It's rather unsatisfactory and ruins the intended effect.

I doubt that Adywan is keeping the dumbest part of the Wampa scene. Sorry.

If Harrison's ship isn't called the "Reliant", I will be very surprised.

I'm with Ender, a lot in Trek to be excited about. Let me add:

Star Trek Continues: Yes, another fan Season 4, but this one has Jimmy Doohan's son as Scotty, Grant Imahara from Mythbusters as Sulu, and "Dr Trek" Larry Nemecek as Bones. There are a few vignettes (with another actor as Bones), but the first episode is in post-production now.

Mission Log: The Nerdist presents a Rod Roddenberry production. John Champion from "DVD Geeks" and Ken Ray from "Mac OS Ken" host a podcast breaking down the meaning and messages of every episode of Trek ever.

Trek.fm: A little self-promotion, but I'm the TOS Editor for this site, which means I'm supposed to be writing the episode guides, but it mostly means I'm on every few episodes of the main podcast to talk about a TOS episode. You can find a link to the episodes I'm on in my sig.

I've got to be honest, I've not seen every episode ever. So right now I'm working my way through TNG as the Blu-rays come out (which are incredible for the most part), DS9 when my wife feels like it (in the middle of Season 4), and Enterprise when I find the time (in the middle of Season 2). My wife and I have seen all of Voyager together a couple times (she watched it live before we met too), and I watched TOS on my Blu-rays.

Just got the TOS Movie Blu-rays the other day and watched VI (with commentary by Larry Nemecek). Holy crap, the DVNR on that is AWFUL. After seeing what Trek can look like with the series Blu-rays, this "restoration" is inexcusable. I hope the restoration team works their way through the movies.

I don't think there's a trampoline, but after Vader is knocked off the freezing platform, Luke turns off his lightsaber & jumps after him. After he lands, his head pops back into frame, showing that the actor didn't jump as far as you'd hoped. Ady erased the head.

Mormon, yes.

Of course she found you attractive. You look like Michael Biehn! My question to you is how you could possibly resist her wily ways!?

My logic is that if this was an organization trying to send a message, they would have claimed credit by now.

My first thought was someone sick who wanted attention. It still is my thought.

Ordered five tacos from Taco Bell for me and a friend. Got four packets of sauce this time. Guess the manager told them to cut back since the last time I was there.

For the 2011 version they intentionally made it cheesy for some reason.

Yeah. But wouldn't you think that the Blu-ray version would be the thing to restore the original sound? I guess not. Just like that added rock. If someone can tell me how R2 got behind that rock and into the cave, let me know...

yeah, wouldn't it be nice if Hollywood got people who could actually sing to star in the musicals?
