The NYT is failing fake news, so we don’t have to take any of this into account!
Wow, only reading things you agree with IS easier!
Agreed that this would be great, just as the battle droid was great. U-Wings parked in the Yavin hangar (though not flying out to combat, wrong type of mission for that) would be great too.
I like all of this. But, one could theorize that they only had two U-Wings and both went down at Scarif.
Head canon time!
Han could have called ahead to Bespin
Sending a signal might give away their position in the middle of space without a hyperdrive, bringing the Empire on them.
Luke could have called The Falcon from Degobah to see if his vision was true
Maybe you have to know where a ship is to contact them. I remember something in Episode II about Obi-Wan having to relay a message to Coruscant through Anakin, but he had to find out that Anakin was on Tatooine beforehand.
The Rebel fleet could have waited safely until the Endor strike team called to say the shield is down
Probably communications jammers all over Endor. And a delay between bringing down the shield and the fleet attacking means the Empire could call in a fleet to defend them (which they had as part of the trap anyway).
Qui-Gon could have called the council/senate as soon as they had cleared the communications blackout on Naboo.
Prequels were not thought out? Alternatively, could be the same as the Falcon, not wanting to call attention to a ship with high priority targets on it with no hyperdrive.
So my end theory is you have to know exactly where the ships are, unless you broadcast and give away your location.

Thank you. I wanted a lip print, but kept forgetting to ask.
I was very surprised at how good the story in X-Wing: Alliance was. Even better, you can buy it from GOG or Steam, and then upgrade the graphics with the shockingly long-lived XWA Upgrade Project.
Whoa, thanks for the point to the upgrade. Definitely how I’ll play it when I get around to it.
Same here!
I remember streaming the teaser trailer on my parent’s computer, taping one of the trailer premieres off of some entertainment news show and rewatching it over and over again, reading a primitive trailer breakdown that figured that Qui-Gon was going to die which I should not have highlighted to read, standing in line in the mall parking garage to end up getting tickets to a showing the day after, my stepdad and I listening to a review on the radio that started with Anakin saying “everything’s overheated”, easily collecting the fast food toys because my dad worked at Pizza Hut and my stepmom at Taco Bell, and having the timecodes memorized on my dad’s training VHS that explained what the hype was about by showing both trailers (which I still have and would be fun to have digitized).
I don’t remember actually seeing the movie, except for being excited to see a new Star Wars movie for the first time in my life and dreading the end knowing that Qui-Gon was going to die. I remember seeing it 4 more times (including once by myself when my grandparents wanted to go to the movies and NOT see that and winning a Jar Jar doll from a crane game) in some kind of misguided attempt to have a Star Wars movie at the top of the All Time Box Office list to beat Titanic.
Are any of the commercials on that tape? There do not seem to be any decent quality versions on youtube. Those ads with Col. Sanders, the Taco Bell dog, and a Pizza Hut delivery gal were a lot of fun.
I don’t think so. I don’t remember any of it being entertaining besides the trailers, but I only watched the rest of it once 18 years ago.
If it’s hilarious and weird, consider contacting the Found Footage Festival!
I lack the technology to watch it!

Nothing breeds terrorists more than treating people like terrorists.
I was calling out my Congressman for being part of this “let’s make rules so we don’t have to follow the rules” confirmation hearings, this random follower says that maybe he’s representing the half of the country that voted for Trump. I pointed out that it was actually less than half, as another friend pointed out that it was less than a quarter of the population, and it just went on from there.
Lebron James doesn’t like him, I’m sure a lot of people will like that about Barkley.
He knows when he’s been bested.
I just found that arguing politics on Twitter is even more frustrating than it is here!
I love that this thread is not centered on the absolutely nonsensical “I am your father” death-knell to any semblance of SW continuity, but instead to this bizarre obscurantist, interpretive trivia.
Huh? Darth Vader being Luke’s father is a continuity error now?
Not so much an error as a flamboyant abandonment.
Abandonment of what?
Of any of the original concepts pre-3rd(?) draft of ESB.
So?
You can ignore my comment as Id was just being difficult.
Calm down, let’s all take Ady’s approach and just ignore him please.
No.
Stop.

They got the guy who dubbed Wedge to say some lines over the intercom at Yavin for Rogue One, so that’s cool.
any hint what a new hope revisited hd’s color correction will look like?

i’m being serious i just want it to look how it should
And like I said, we might be TEN YEARS AWAY from him even starting on it.
Probably purple. Maybe some red.
I imagine we’ll find out when this project is even on the table in several years.
I wrote all my Congressional representatives today. Here’s what I wrote:
I am a concerned citizen from ******, and I would like you to actually represent me in this matter.
Donald Trump is a disaster. In less than two weeks he’s weakened every aspect of our country and our lives. He’s issuing Executive Orders to override your work in Congress without consulting you and is removing anyone who stands up against him. The brilliant part of our republic are the checks and balances. If Trump insists on removing those who try to check him, you need to check him right back.
Don’t let history look back on your decisions in this time and say “I wish he would have stood up.” You need to stand up against this. Trump is throwing a coup, and you are complicit in it unless you do something about it.
Stand against his Cabinet choices. He’s already proven he wants puppets he can control to get what he wants.
Force him to release his tax returns. The fact that he refuses is proof he has something to hide.
Force him to remove himself from his businesses. Every decision he makes should be under investigation to ensure it’s not putting money directly into his pockets.
If he refuses to listen to Congress, which is the actual representation of the people, NOT the President, then he must be impeached.
Don’t hesitate. The time for action is now.
Well written.
Thanks, Tyr.

Yes, it’s specifically about continuity they Disney EU is trying to fix, not the mess that was Legend’s history of the Death Star.
I don’t understand how this is physically possible.
