They got the guy who dubbed Wedge to say some lines over the intercom at Yavin for Rogue One, so that’s cool.

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.

Discovery teaser trailer

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.

Geonosians came up with the concept.

Motti was in charge of superstructure construction.

Krennic was in charge of the superlaser, with Galen Erso actually making it work.

Tarkin coordinated it all.

Starting off with an expletive seems like a bad move.

**** you.

Lebron James doesn’t like him, I’m sure a lot of people will like that about Barkley.

I wonder if the rumored anti-LGBT executive order will drop Friday afternoon so people can spend the weekend protesting again. It’s almost like they don’t want people to miss work.

Speaking of don’t even try, I can’t even get my brain around this.

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/trump-signs-executive-order-requiring-that-for-every-one-new-regulation-two-must-be-revoked-234365

This is a great idea to reduce clutter in your household, especially if you think your kids have too much stuff. Every time you buy them a toy, make them get rid of two. Or for personal use, like every time you buy a shirt, get rid of two you never wear, then donate them to a shelter or something.

Getting rid of regulations to make room for new ones doesn’t make sense because we aren’t running out of room in the regulation closet. And who decides what kind of regulations are going to be discarded by the new one? Sounds like businesses who feel like they’re over-regulated can get their problems to the top of the list by greasing the right wheels.

I feel like it’s becoming more likely that Trump will have a Republican challenger in 2020. I mean, I think the moment he was elected with the majority of the country hating him this was a possibility, but things have only gotten worse. Of course a lot could change between now and then, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw Sasse or Graham run against him.

What numbers are you basing “the majority of the country hating him” on? I haven’t seen any specific polls or graphs or pies that lay this out. Any links?

How about the fact that the majority of the country didn’t vote for him?

And most of the people who did vote for him seem to not support him, they incorrectly assumed that he was the lesser of two evils.

I forgot to mention every Presidential Approval Poll

…and 6K, wooow!

Also, I love the code name joke.

I was getting on a plane back to Indianapolis once, and a whisper was going back through the line as we entered first class. The ladies in front of me said “Oh my god, is that Shaq?” I said “No, it’s CHARLES BARKLEY.”

He was kind enough to shake my hand and asked my name, then said it was a pleasure to meet me.

The Lord of the Rings bonus features chronicle every step of making movies in the early 2000’s and the Hobbit ones show how they’re made in the 2010’s. Both sets are incredible cheap film schools.

Absolutely. I recently had a chance to speak briefly with Mark Ordesky (executive producer on the LOTR trilogy) and I told him how much the films and the bonus docs meant to me growing up. He said that was exactly why Peter Jackson wanted to make them - to inspire kids to want to make movies and to give them everything they needed to know about how a film like this is done.

That’s amazing!

It’s perfect.

Ntsc so 23.997 fps I guess.

I think that the HD format is 24, so the main release will be that, but any conversion to DVD would be 23.997 (which I don’t think Ady will be providing).

No, but german subs are very likely.

I believe the technical term is “U-boat”.

I laughed.

The black bars over the Aliens footage doesn’t go all the way to the edge, but I love the concept!

I got the first one.

Having iconic and memorable “establishing” shots of diminishing size both moving from left-to-right across the horizontal plane…

…that clearly “established” the trench being the same one, was actually a clever ruse to confuse the audience all these years. It brilliantly fixes the wrong location of the action in the minds of the viewers in 3-demensions, on an almost subliminal level. Well played Lucasfilm, well played.

Like they said in the article, those shots are NOWHERE near each other in the film.

Just timed it, they are 4 minutes apart. The first shot is before they “cut across the surface to try and draw their fire” even.

So does anyone else find it just a little suspicious that they are releasing reprints of the Original Trilogy novelizations in May?

No, they reprint these things every couple years.
