Back to eyebrows: would you believe they actually acknowledge this on starwars.com on the episode page?!

“Although the final cut of Return Of The Jedi has an eyebrow-less unhelmeted Darth Vader, to better read in animation, the animation model has the dark brow visible through the cracked helmet.”!

I just watched the finale, and was so excited about the eyebrows that the first thing I did was open up this thread and search for it. Maybe these dumbass changes will slowly slip from the grip of canon.

The creators said the only reason they put the eyebrows back on was because the character model looked really dumb without them. It was only artistic and does not change the canon.

Have the remastered episodes entered syndication yet? That money has to factor into whether the whole endeavor keeps the accountants happy.

Unlike the TOS remaster, which was designed to make syndication buyers happier, the TNG remaster was designed to sell Blu-rays, which they didn’t. The major streaming services have TNGR, but I’m sure they paid they same they would have for SD TNG.

I know this is a long way off, but getting you a copy of Star Trek Generations would be worth it, if only to see the Death Star take down the Enterprise D. The saucer section then crashes on Endor, taking out untold numbers of Ewoks.

Surely I already suggested making my “Fire at Commander Will” line, right? Then cut to a beam hitting the drive section and it exploding. Don’t necessarily need the saucer crash…

Apparently New Ghostbusters is getting an extended edition for its home release. I found out because people on social media are whining that it’s getting a home release at all, claiming that the film is horrible and shouldn’t exist.

I haven’t seen the film myself, and likely won’t, but the continuing rage against it baffles me.

EDIT: Well I’ll probably watch it eventually if I catch it on TV or something, but I’m not interested enough to buy it or anything.

I saw it twice and enjoyed it very much. I will be buying it, especially since there’s an extended edition. I just hope that it adds plot elements back in, and not just extended improv jokes. There are bonus features specifically described as being those, so that’s promising.

Went to the store the other day, figured I’d pick up some Ecto Cooler if I could find it, just to give it a shot since I never did back in the day.

There wasn’t any, so I got a Crystal Pepsi instead. Actually pretty good stuff. A bit of a weird disconnect to drink a clear liquid and get a cola taste, but I liked it.

Ordered my Ecto Cooler from Amazon a few weeks ago after not finding them anywhere in stores, managed to find a Crystal Pepsi in the wild this week.
