I was speaking metaphorically.

I’m surprised I’m actually okay with Cersi being Queen. Whay the fuck is wrong with me?

Oh so many things.

Cersi murdered everyone in the city to claim the throne, including her last child (though indirectly). She’s worse than the Mad King.

This is one of the reasons why we ask you to have purchased the original film. No one can say we’re taking money away from LFL. Also, Adywan isn’t using your funds to finance his own studio he can rent out, so that helps too.

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 just wanna pop in to make the prediction that the last scene of the movie is just a shot of the back of Vader standing on the bridge of his Star Destroyer as it chases the Tantive IV over Tatooine and then smash to black.

I can get behind this.

More pretty pretty pictures

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.

I like it.

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.

Oh man, that’s cool. The Onderon arc was pretty great.

I more I read up on him, the more I remembered that arc and liking his character.

Sounds like the story group came up with it 4 years ago and has been planting seeds ever since. He’s mentioned in “Bloodline” and “Rebels” whenever they need to talk about the Rebellion’s darker side.

I’d love to see the Director in Rebels. Do it!

Random TCW character. OK.

JJ said during a Beyond promo that Justin Lin convinced the studio to make the lawsuit “go away”. But the trial is still on for next year. No one still really knows anything.

Forrest Whittiker’s character is someone we will recognize, revealed in two hours.

Who the f could it even be? Cannot think of anyone from the films. An EU character?

Most definitely an EU character. Closest I can think of is Kyle Katarn. It fits the clues EW posted:

??? (Forest Whitaker)

This character has a past that Star Wars completists will recognize immediately when they see his name, even if he looks very different than the way they’ve seen him elsewhere. (He even looks different from when we saw him in the teaser trailer.) There’s so much to say about this character, we’re going to save his revelation for later today. Check back to EW.com around 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT for a deeper exploration of this shadowy figure …

None of these things translate to film restoration. Who cares what he does to make money? Most of the people here don’t have formal training at all, which he does.

Yeah, there was a difference map thread we were trying to use to identify tiny changes.

I want 30 pervy sex tips. I want them here and I want them now! The nozzle has gone on mine.

I looked but couldn’t find the articles. I did find a bunch of celebrity fan sites coded in HTML only from 1997.

Don’t worry, Bingo, I got your joke.

Yeah, I need that just to understand how it works.

Speaking of mverta (shocking, I know), does anyone know what he is up to in addition to Legacy? Is he on an actual work project that’s keeping him from talking here, or have there been no updates purely because he shouldn’t talk about it right now?

He did the music for Independents’ Day. Oh, and some VFX for it. WAIT, he’s also IN it! Now I have to watch it.

Other than that, he could be doing anything.

Is this what we can expect then? We can’t still be talking about the last movie when there’s a new movie coming out in a few months?

Crazy Plurals…

Hey nice, now I can talk about how I just read Marvel’s 2006 Civil War and its tie-ins and found it enjoyable if drawn out.

So you’re human, that’s good to know.

BACK FROM THE DEAD, HERE COMES THE COMICS THREAD!

I picked up the IDW Ghostbusters that Humble Bundle had recently, which contained all but the Mars Attacks one-shot crossover and the TMNT crossover series (that I had already purchased on sale last month).

I really, really enjoyed it. The early one-shots aren’t that great, but the direct lead-in to Ongoing Series 1 and everything after is so good. The writer really gets each character and their voice, my mind even went to the different voices when the Real Ghostbusters showed up. The art is fantastic, and each issue has some reference to the RGB toys, usually through ghost design but there’s one issue where they flat out fly Ecto-2! One later issue had the guys wearing the see-through goggles that came with a nerf blaster toy that I had as a kid! The whole thing was so much fun.

The plots are good, tying together GB1, GB2, and the Video Game (the player character is running the Chicago franchise!) while adding new villains and bringing back old ones. The fact that the writer wrote the upcoming “Tobin’s Spirit Guide” and both of the recent board games really gets me excited about those projects.

They’ll run her right into the ground like they did that angry feline.

Yeah, but the owners were able to able to copyright the cat, which kept it going with actual licensed merch. This custom figure has to be as far as this goes, right? RIGHT?
