I feel like a curmudgeon saying so because I’ve seen a lot of folks citing it as one of their favorites, but I thought that Aunt Beru story in FaCPoV was fucking awful. Took me right out of it. The only saving grace was the fact that it was only three pages long. One clunker in the first nine stories is still an excellent ratio though. Here’s hoping this was the only hiccup.

It certainly was one of the more pointless stories.

The point of DSC S1E4 was to show that in order to use the instant travel drive it required the subjection and torture of an alien creature which goes against Federation principles and will probably end disastrously. It wouldn’t be the first time a ship has encountered a new way to travel that they then ignored in the future, or turned out to be evil. There’s a VGR 2-parter that also has a Federation ship using creatures to improve their speed and no one followed up on it either.

Either way, why would Discovery use the drive to explore the galaxy when they’re breaking every law to appease a Captain hell-bent on ending a war using a teleporting ship? Lorca seems upset that he HAS a science vessel, he’s not going to let them actually explore. And I have a feeling Burnham isn’t going to let them use the drive very often as it obviously hurts RIPR.

His writing has actually not been too bad. It’s weird, it’s like he wanted to write a straight-up Star Trek series, Fox asked for a standard McFarlane show with dick and weed jokes, and he put them into his first script and Fox approved it. It’s bizarre.

I think this too. Either that or he can’t help himself and adds dick jokes because it’s a compulsion.

I think you’ve confused Muppets with puppets.

And a Star Wars puppet making an appearance on The Muppets doesn’t count!

So did Clerks. 😉

And when did Yoda do the Muppet Show?

Beats me, I was kinda just assuming.

There was a Muppet Christmas special where Yoda shows up. Or so I’ve heard.

But we digress.

Loved TESB: Revisited, Ady! You did a phenomenal job!

Copied from my post on the wishlist thread:


I really want Sebastian Shaw to morph into Hayden Christensen - but not the same shot of Christensen that was used for the DVD/Blu-Ray release.

Heck - morph Alec into Ewan…Yoda can stay the same.


Yoda morphs into Creepy Puppet Yoda or no go.

I got the Certain Point of View audiobook, I’m enjoying it so far.

I’ve been looking forward to reading that. Might do the audiobook if you recommend.

I’m not sure I can go back to my Kindle, the people reading (haven’t gotten to the celebrities yet) do amazing voice work, and the atmospheric sounds/music add a lot to the experience.

I also like that’s it’s in chronological order. There are already some inconsistencies between the stories (Greedo doesn’t mention interacting with the band that the band mentions), but overall its very satisfying. Especially since everyone in the Cantina seems to agree that Han Shot Only. 😉

My suggestion: make the Emperor’s shuttle unique, paint it red, or black, with the Imperial logo on the side or something.

What the f*ck? Why?

Because the grey stripe it has doesn’t differentiate it enough from the 3 other identical shuttles also in the film? It’s not a bad suggestion.

I told him about the colors.

A compliment the team I was with would relish and immediately deny. 😃

We had to EXACTLY rebuild to iconic frames and transition between.

But we did add a tennis shoe to one menu.

FIND ME THIS SHOE

Remember how we always said the 2004 DVD menu’s colors looked better than the movie itself?

https://twitter.com/agraphafx/status/913108872432304128

They destroyed RMQ color scheme. I had to sadly copy it for DVD menu. They then restored that color on the film. 😦

–if you look at the 2004 menu you will see the 1997 color scheme. I rebuilt from the orig painting … but alas.

So if anyone wants to save time on coloring, the DVD menus ARE accurate! 😉
