I watched this side-by-side with the 35mm version, and was surprised by how cropped/zoomed the BD version is. For example, the shot of Obi-wan and Yoda “that boy is our last hope”, in the BD/Revisited, Obi-wan is partially cropped out, but is fully in frame in the 35mm.

That was a Revisited change, because if you look at the original shot Obi-Wan is about a foot tall.

Maybe this has been covered, but was Ady’s “I’m gonna delete the AT STs” just him teasing us?

If the CG wasn’t going to work he was going to delete the original from the one shot you can see it in. Once it looked like it was going to work, he continued the story of removing the one, especially after the uproar he was getting. The plan was to never even hint at them until release, but after one of the delays he decided to release a teaser video including them.

Fair enough, but I do want to be clear, I favor the morning-after pill, as it prevents conception instead killing a fertilized ovum.

I am not 100% sure on this, but I think the morning-after pill prevents implantation, not conception. There’s this brief period where there’s a free-floating fertilized egg, but there’s no pregnancy because it hasn’t implanted anywhere. The morning-after pill prevents implantation, so the pregnancy never starts (thus it’s not abortion because you can’t abort a pregnancy that doesn’t exist)… BUT the egg is fertilized, and it’s lost because it can’t implant. So if fertilization is your point of no return, I think this means this is out.

The morning after pill prevents ovulation, so it only works if the woman hasn’t ovulated yet. It just delays it long enough for the sperm to die off.

Robert Jeffress, head of the First Baptist Dallas megachurch, told CBN on Tuesday that a biblical passage in Romans allows rulers to use “whatever means necessary ― including war ― to stop evil.”

He said:

“In the case of North Korea, God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong Un. I’m heartened to see that our president ― contrary to what we’ve seen with past administrations who have taken, at best, a sheepish stance toward dictators and oppressors ― will not tolerate any threat against the American people.”

Jeffress also said:

“When @POTUS draws a red line, he will not erase, move, or back away from it. Thank God for pres. who is serious ab. protecting our country.”

Ok then.

Sure, a letter written to Romans about not openly rebelling against the Roman Empire is actually about America being World Police.

This guy also said Obama was “paving the way for the antichrist”, so he’s out there.

People seem to think Mara Jade has some kind of secret following among the common folk that won’t require any kind of explanation about who she is, just adding her will make an instant hit. Meanwhile in the Doctor Who thread, people were telling stories about educating people who Spock is, who actually has a cultural impact.

I’m fully aware most people have no idea who she is, but adding her in wouldn’t require that much explanation, especially if she’s missing/dead by the ST days and it doesn’t matter who she is.

“Mara Jade is your mother!”

“Who?”

“You know, Emperor’s Hand, she helped do Palpatine’s dirty work.”

“An Inquisitor?”

“No…”

“A Dark Jedi?”

“Not quite.”

“Well, how’d she get together with you?”

“After she tried to kill me for years and turned out OK and I gave her this lightsaber, I feel in love with a computer–”

“I thought Jedi weren’t allowed to love.”

“Look, kid, who’s the teacher here?”
