Star Wars Canon EU (potential spoilers)
Time

I heard Vader is ending at #25. Probably for the best, since it’s consistently been spoiling the main Ongoing series because, except for the Vader Down crossover, it’s been a month ahead in-universe time. Vader is always complaining how the current Ongoing plot ended up when Ongoing is halfway through it.

I’ve been trying to keep up with all the canon. Haven’t grabbed “Bloodlines” or “Dark Disciple” yet and couldn’t finish “Heir to the Jedi” (it’s just so bad, and it definitely feels like exactly what it is, a book that was finished before the EU Purge and they felt bad for scrapping).

The phantom menace game is my favorite one. No kidding it is a perfect blend of action and puzzles.

I especially love when you are running and suddenly you fall through the solid floor and fall into infinite void or graphical glitches.

Really? What version did you play? I recently replayed it all on PC and I never met bugs nor glitches (except for the fog missing, but I fixed it by using dgVoodoo to emulate an older video card).

The PS1 version, I’m imagining. It was the buggiest game I’ve ever played.

Info: Evidence of TFA Changes in Blu-ray?
Time

Yes, there were a ton of audio mix options out there, so the Blu-ray not having “the right mix” isn’t a change so much a possible separate audio track. We could even be complaining that the IMAX ratio isn’t on the Blu-ray.

The Blu-ray is a representation of a specific aspect ratio and audio mix. Maybe the eventual 4K Ultra HD version with the Atmos or DTS:X track will have these elusive sounds.

I said it before I’ll say it again. Unless someone official with Lucasfilm and/or Disney (no not ‘someone familiar on the subject’) confirms or disconfirms the release of the OUT, only then will I ‘let it go’.

She technically works for Disney.

^Lando could have died, we don’t really know yet. Schrödinger’s Lando, as I believe I called it in another thread.

Lando appears in one of the LEGO short films which are considered canon minus the LEGOy bits.

Those are canon? Hm.

At least the first TFA bit, it picks up right after the canon 3PO comic. I just want Ackbar to have a ship called “Daisy Mae” in the movies.

I will never understand why they’re calling the Infinity War movies “Part 1/2” when they should call them Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity War respectively.

Then you’ll be pleased to know that they’re not calling them “Part 1/2” anymore:

In other news, the Russo’s have been on a tear in the press junket. I’ve been seeing them pop up all over the place lately. Just today they revealed the Infinity War films are going to be retitled:

“The movies are two very different movies,” said Joe Russo, adding, “The intention is we will change it, we just haven’t come up with the titles yet. But, yes, we will change it. And, yes, that is a scoop: we will retitle them.”
