This week’s episode had a fancy new Klingon ship identified as a D7, which is the classic TOS model. This goes with my friend’s headcanon that Star Trek has been like a historical record for future people who live in the Trek universe, so the effects are limited by the budget in-universe. Each visual change in more recent series are more representative of how they actually looked, or the recreation of this particular series took an artistic choice.

Adding this layer of fiction within the fiction helps smooth over any changes for me.

I’ve got it: cut the entire Sail Barge Battle. Make mind tricks work, then we’re done! 😉

Right, it’s one thing to hear stories about 10,000 people who had magic powers who were wiped out 20 years ago and to actually experience it yourself.

Why on earth does captain Lorca have a Tribble on his desk?

Yeah, that almost bugged me as much as Scotty already having one in his ice base in the Kelvin timeline.

Lorca may have one to root out Klingon spies. He might already know they don’t like Klingons, which may come in handy after this week’s episode.

Adywan’s Internet is being shitty, so this is why he’s been radio silent recently.

I would hope he fixes the reflection under the troopers as its still a wall…

Haven’t finished reading the book yet, but each story is meant to be told from the POV of a different character and they’re all unreliable narrators, so inconsistencies are to be expected.

This is true. Hell, the Cantina Band story is an excerpt from an autobiography, so the details it has that doesn’t add up with Greedo’s story may be explained away with it being exaggerated for the autobiography reader. Taking that and removing one of the pilot stories completely, the rest of my “canon” inconsistencies mostly go away.

Did Adywan ever fix the continuity error with Leia’s belt in the Trash Compactor scene?

No. What error?

Oh god, I want to talk about Movies Anywhere, the new digital movie locker, but there are literally 100 movie threads now.

So now I’ve necrobumped this thread.

Finished FACPOV. Overall, I’ll say I enjoyed it. There were a couple clunkers, but that’s to be expected. There were a few stories that established things and the next story established the opposite, which is odd. Were there too many pilots on Yavin, or not enough? Other than things like that, it was a good mix of drama and humor.

Alright then, Section 31 kept it a secret. 😉

That or it all ends with Discovery’s atoms spread across the universe.

Any Hooo…
This is as much for AR:SE as for ROTJ:R, what with Rogue One having very polished reflective floors in key rooms is it possible or desirable to do something similar for Death Star interiors in other films?
The floors are quite reflective in both films but not to the same mirror effect of Rogue One and I quite liked the effect. It makes the rooms look other worldly and obsessively sterile and buffed. So many OT Death Star sets have dents and scratches and scuff marks. Jedi has some very tatty cobbled together sets which are kind of forgivable for the Rebels but not so much for the Empire.

Wouldn’t we need actual reflections of EVERYTHING to make the floor reflective?

I’m saying that they probably designed the animation to fit into the 16:9 frame since it was primarily distributed in that format (action safe areas, etc). I’m sure there’s some bonus feature that refutes that. I really just wanted to make the Cartoon Network OAR joke.

Is there a version under 2gig available - All I want to do is watch it thru the PS4

I used Handbrake to make a smaller version for my Apple TV, you can do the same to encode something that can play on your PS4.

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.

TCW was always “shot” for 16:9, I’m sure. Technically, if Cartoon Network counts as first release, 16:9 is the OAR. 😉

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.

That’s what I’m talking about!!!

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. 😉

Adywan doesn’t like the prequels, but does like the new movies. So yes?

People suggesting ideas from the new movies is on topic.

People rejecting those ideas because Disney/LFL came up with them is not.
