Ah jeez, searched up “furry” and the first image I saw was a bunch of dudes in anthropomorphic animal costumes. I won’t go searching any further into this.

Don’t need to search any further. That’s it.

From what I understand, some do it for fun, some because they identify as animals, and some because it’s their kink. In any case, it’s their own business.

I wonder if he’ll have that backpack a lot. Like, you know, not just shedding his clothes on the ground to be found by someone who recognizes the clothes and now thinks Peter is running around without any clothes on. However, he might be able to be IDed by his backpack. “I know a kid who talks like that who is that size who acts weird and carries that same backpack!”

Do you think Disney will release the unaltered versions for DVD and blue ray?

  1. There are some kind of legal disputes between Disney and 20th Century Fox, though they seemed to have resolved this enough to re-issue the Blu-rays and put out a digital download release.

This is the theory I’m sticking to. Fox still owns physical distribution (all the Blu-ray reissues are “Complete Saga” / Steelbooks with only Fox logos). The digital release was apparently a loophole that Disney was able to utilize, but you can’t buy ANH on Disney’s digital store and they didn’t remove the Fox logo from the beginning of it.

I feel like Fox may be upset that LFL didn’t sell to them, and on top of that sold it to their biggest competitor who is probably trying to take the remaining Marvel properties back, which would hurt Fox’s bottom line even more. Fox could probably legally release an OUT of ANH, but at this point they can’t access the film because the LFL archive is beyond their reach. A restoration would require them working together, especially if it covered the entire OT. And even then, Disney would be distributing a movie with the Fox logo, because no one would want an OUT without it being U.

Dammit, StarTrek.com, this is why we can’t have nice things. There’s really no excuse to use the first thing that shows up on GIS when you’re making an article when you’re the copyright holder.

JEDIT: My friend points out that they have the rights to that image thanks to their “Ships of the Line” calendar series. But the question of “Why are we using this image in an official capacity?” still stands.

I’m still pissed at Paramount but now I’m curious. They just put out a third trailer. Is…that an NX-class vessel at the end?

Yeah, apparently the crew finds an old NX-era ship. Even though the NX exists on screen (as a model in STID), the Kelvin Timeline somehow has a different model Warp 4 ship. This has some precedent, as the Archon in the comics has similar adjustments, and it was supposed to be an NX-era ship too.

The recently released official Celebration itinerary has the screening listed as “Star Wars: A New Hope”. All that can really be inferred from that is that they want to be consistent with TFA’s downplaying of the episode numbers, but the fact that Disney isn’t squeamish about switching around the title of a film from before they acquired LFL gives me a small amount of hope that they’d be willing to walk back more the extreme Lucasisms in the future.

Related to all this (in that, I wonder what is even available for them to play at the event), does anyone know what version of the OT was played in those theatrical marathons when TFA released? I’ve been wondering if it was fairly new DCPs for the 2011 versions, or if they still have to theatrically distribute the '97 SEs.

They were DCP’s of the 2011 version, but somehow looked worse than the Blu-ray, my source tells me.

This is an odd picture to release to the public;
it’s a Deathrooper holding a Stormtrooper toy. And according to EW it’s not a bts photo.

i don’t understand what you mean. Why do you think it is odd to release to the public?

Right, it’s an in-universe Stormtrooper figure. Just like having a GI Joe.

I doubt that Gareth Edwards or any of the screenwriters where actively trying to include TCW characters.

Gary Whitta seemed excited about the reveal, Leland Chee said they’ve been planning this for 4 years, and Pablo Hidalgo said on the Star Wars Show yesterday that they decided to include this character and Whittaker was their dream casting.

As for his eye color, it’s a bummer they didn’t have him wear contacts (or CG every shot, this is Star Wars, which they could still do), but who says he’s human and that his eyes don’t change color when he’s not on his native planet’s atmosphere or something.

This is absolutely their right.

I like how targeted some of it is (no one involved with the “production of DVDs” is obviously there to knock out Robert Meyer Burnett).

Their arrogance of some of the major fan films has been the downfall of all. Axanar’s page is already filling with people saying how they’re not going to support any official production because of this. Which is exactly what the fan films should NOT be encouraging, since it basically proves that their productions are causing a loss of income to the copyright holders.

Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)

It’s mind boggling. Like, how do they decide to update approximately half of the Cloud City shots in ESB?? Why would they not update the rest of the shots? It just makes no sense.

It’s not so much that they updated half the shots, its that the half they didn’t update are the same windows that were updated seconds before.
