I’m intrigued by the concept of a “What If” arc, but I think I’ll tire of it if it goes on too long.
In other news, I still had the Hulu page up for AoS up when my wife got up yesterday. “You’re still watching SHIELD?”, she asked, her voice echoed by pretty much everyone else on the planet.
I’ve really liked the last couple of episodes. Looks like we’re leaning into Rogue One with this last one. Once R1 comes out on Blu, I’m hoping we can do a comparison to see if this fleet is the exact fleet at Scarif.
Forgive me if this has been answered before, but will ESB:R have a track with pop-up changes like the ANH:R DVD? I found this useful, especially when showing it to my kids.
Ady has said that the changes in ESB:R are far too numerous for a pop-up to keep up with. I do think there will be a comparison image gallery. If Ady doesn’t make it, I’m pretty sure someone (005?) will.
If Ady provides the split screen for me, but even then I’d miss a bunch of stuff. I think Ady is going to provide me the pictures like he did for ANHR and I’ll just host them on our SWR Google Photos.
Every single wipe was redone for the SE, so that’s a lot of branching for OUT.
How long will I hold out not buying a Nintendo system I’ll play for a month then never touch again?
A couple months, maybe.
The video from the ‘How It Should Have Ended’ people for Rogue One:-
That was really bad. I guess because Rogue One was . . . really good.
That was really bad, even for them. “Just shoot them” is really lazy, and they use it multiple times.
I still have every VHS tape we’ve ever owned, except the few that were eaten up, I don’t understand why people get rid of them.
Space? A desire to live in your house and not convert it to tape storage?
(You do realize this is a joke mocking the “worth $10k” fakery where people were posting them for a ridiculous amount of money, but no one was buying)
Plus, Coruscant was modified in 2004 with a few extra buildings.
Oh yeah. I’m a dummy.
This transition is the only part someone would have to recreate:
I’m not sure the current wipe from Naboo to Coruscant covers up anything needed for the spire-wipe.
Last time I saw Pablo comment, he said this:
As far as I know, there’s only one person who could make this happen and he hasn’t seemed all that interested.
He’s apparently shifting this onto Lucas. Which doesn’t make sense if Fox and Disney are meeting with Verta on his restoration. But if they had one of their own, they wouldn’t be meeting with Verta saying “we have one, thanks.” I guess we’ll find out at Celebration.
He didn’t pitch his meeting as an offering of the unaltered version of Star Wars.
What exactly was the situation with that meeting?
Did it ever even happen?
I have no idea if it happened, I just know that the way he described it seemed like something that could have easily been misinterpreted as having little to do with Star Wars. It’s hard to say though.
It happened, and Disney said it wasn’t up to them and set a meeting with Fox.

I’ll hang myself first thing in the morning.
You ok, buddy?
I got lost and confused by the last few. Could someone break them down for me?
Catching up, I’m glad that The Living Daylights being my second pre-Craig Bond rewatch comes recommended, even if I watched it before these posts were made. It (and Dalton) stuck out to me in my random Bond watch, so I was really looking forward to watching it again.

He was handed the wrong card. So he showed it to Faye out of confusion, and she read it out loud.
Imagine if he was handed the Best Makeup card again…
Added head explosions?
Your skills are now complete.
You mentioned rolling back the Revisited Death Star Plans because of Rogue One. Just wondered if you plan on going back to the pink X-Wing engine glow too.
Yes, the engines are now pink.
Progress on the Wampa;
Started layering the fur onto the mask. A very time consuming task as this has to be done in small sections at a time. I’ll be gluing the fur onto the mask as much as possible and then hair punching the rest to blend in the edges to give a more natural look.
What made you decide to go back to the pink engines?
Rogue One having pink engines, without any excuse of film age or bad color balance. It’s purposeful and undeniable now.
Yeah, I brought that up yesterday. He heard the word “victory” and went off on that first, before All Lives Matter-ing the Jewish people.
Why is he so proud about getting less Electoral Votes than Obama or Clinton either time they were elected?
Hey look, he brought up his Electoral Vote number! It must be a day ending in Y!
Let me see if I can break this down:
New York art dealer Jeffrey Loria who bought the Florida Marlins for $158.5 million 14 years ago wants to sell them to Joshua Kushner, brother of Jared (son-in-law/advisor to the President), for $1.6 billion.
NYP says that Loria may be named as Ambassador to France. Now Kushner’s business partner is backing out saying that he doesn’t want “this unrelated transaction to complicate that process”.
I guess I’m glad that they’re at least pretending that one isn’t related to the other? It’s not like paying 1.6 billion dollars for an under-performing baseball team is a steal. It would look more like the Kushners were bribing Loria to take the job.
And what does it take to become an ambassador? Because he literally was an art dealer who buys now buys baseball teams.
Yes, I believe so too… but again, any ideas on how Windu’s and Palpatine’s confrontation might play out?
Nope.
I’m curious what one of the few sane pro-gun people I know (Tyr) thinks about this.
I’ve been (stupidly) assuming that this was part of some larger bill that was actually sensical, but no, the gun lobbies are just worried about old mentally ill people who can legally not handle their own finances being able to buy guns.
