Prime has the SD versions too, which is a bonus.

^^ in the ops room on D’Qar with many of the Resistance around the holo-table…

POE: The scan data from Snap’s reconnaissance flight confirms Finn’s report.

SNAP WEXLEY: They’ve somehow created a hyperlight speed weapon built within the planet itself.

YOUNG OFFICER: a laser cannon?

SNAP WEXLEY: We’re not sure how to describe a weapon of this scale…

MAJOR EMATT: It’s another Death Star!

POE: I wish that were the case, Major. This was the Death Star… (a hologram of the Death Star appears, then Starkiller Base appears next to it - dwarfing it in size) … and this is Starkiller Base…

(gasps from many of the people in the room)

HAN: So… it’s big.

ACKBAR: How is it possible to power a weapon of that size?

FINN: It uses the power of the Sun - as the weapon is charged the Sun is drained until it disappears…

Leia receives notice that they are the next target, and the weapon is already charging - the group then come up with the plan to destroy Starkiller Base…

Sure, but I wish that it could be edited to make it seem like they take down superweapons every other week. “ANOTHER planet destroyed? Is it the thing where it shakes the planet apart with giant walker things? Oh, it’s a hyperspace weapon, that’s different at least.”

And I was mostly joking.

Suggestion: Add the voice of someone saying “Again?!” when it’s revealed to the Resistance that the First Order has yet another superweapon. I still like my idea that this is a weekly occurrence, and that’s why no one really cares when the system is wiped out. 😉

About the map, I don’t think it’s a map to Luke specifically. They say in the movie that Luke was looking for the first Jedi Temple. This is a map to the first temple that Luke found and erased the last step so people couldn’t find it. Heck, Obi-Wan and Yoda may have deleted that section of their maps while they were in the Jedi Archives so Palpatine wouldn’t just nuke it, Luke found the final piece, hid it on that flash drive, then went off to stay there.

I am secretly hoping that Ady has been working on ROTJ:R the whole time and both will be released.

SPOILERS:

No.

Either The Room or the Holiday Special.

RIP Lando.

I’m still pushing for it. 😉

So much for my Kickstarter to film The Ridiculous Menace.

Actually, the paperwork specifically mentions that Axanar isn’t parody so can’t claim Fair Use. You still have a chance!

Welp, Axanar got sued. Unfortunately, they’re not going down without a fight, which means that things are going to get REALLY ugly out there. I read through the motion, CBS/Paramount are not wrong. Axanar needs to prove that they aren’t making ANY money from the project, and even then that might get them out of only some of it.

It’s the “potential damages” part that worries me. Axanar fans are well known for not being fans of the new franchise direction and are already talking boycotts, which plays right into the hands of what they’re fighting against. If CBS/Paramount can say that they missed out on a multi-billion dollar movie like TFA because of Axanar fans, they could sue for millions.

There are links to instructions on the Facebook and WordPress pages.

Funny, I could swear it was me or Frink that first did JEDIT… Oh well.

Do we still do “double standards”, “wrong picture”, etc?

Why is it that Cumberbatch is just about the only actor that I almost always see as himself rather than whatever character he’s supposed to be playing?

I think its because so far (for me at least) he usually is playing the same character. Cocky (Smaug), suave (Khan), if not the villain than morally questionable (Sherlock). I’m interested in him playing a hero.

Does anyone here own the 2015 BD Saga set? Does it still have Fox logos in TESB and ROTJ? Or is it 100% similar to the 2011 set, with no Disney connection anywhere?

The actual films are the same as far as I know, but I believe the Roman numeral episode numbers were removed from the physical discs themselves. Ultimately pretty meaningless, but people made an enormous deal about it in comment sections round the world.

Haha, that’s interesting. I’m just wondering if I should sell the 2011 and buy the new one because I hate that old packaging on my shelf. Not that I would watch the films themselves anyways.

Just put it in storage or in the back of a closet. Problem solved.

That’s what I do. Along with putting them in my custom snarky Blu-ray Covers.

When can we pre-order? That’s right, my Star Wars DVD collection is about to double in size. 😉. Already have the soundtrack and the novelization. Alan Dean Foster. Awesome. Someone who wrote the sequel to Star Wars and has a firm understanding of The GFFA.

I about spit out my gum. Amazing.

There were some 3D bits that threw me, 3D doesn’t work well with wipes it seems. I recall a bit where it was nice scenery with a ton of depth and then there’s a 2D wipe to a Star Destroyer floating in the middle of the theater. Both effects were great, but the transition threw me off. I want a 20 minute bonus feature of the poor 3D conversion artists trying to figure out how to make wipes work in a 3D space.

The impression I got is the Resistance is a covert army fighting the New Order on behalf of the Republic, they don’t publicly sanction the Resistance, but are probably funding them secretly. It’s the worst kept secret of the Cold War era the galaxy is in a the beginning of the film. The New Order is the splintered remains of the old Empire regrouped and reformed under the leadership of this Snoke guy.

Some quotes from “Before The Awakening”:

“Have you heard of the Resistance, Poe?” “Rumors, mostly.” “Such as?” “Such as there’s a splinter of the Republic military that…that feels the Republic isn’t taking certain threats as seriously as they maybe ought to be taking them. Specifically the threat posed by the First Order.” “That’s a very diplomatic way to put it, but not an entirely inaccurate one.”

Republic space and First Order space were separated by a buffer zone of neutral systems, and the peace that had been negotiated—a peace that many, including Poe, believed existed in name only—meant that military action taken by one side upon the other was considered an overt act of war.

I thought the movie was very enjoyable, and the original bits were fantastic. Even the parts that echoed ANH/RotJ went by fast and were well executed. The kids were great, Harrison actually seemed to care about acting for the first time in years, the action was fun to watch and easy to follow.

I wish it was a bit less of a remake, but if you’re going to try to revitalize a franchise, why not steal from the best?

Uploaded all the pictures to the WordPress too.

Star Trek Beyond trailer to be attached to Force Awakens. Sounds like a good cross section of this thread here.

He’s trying the title on for size. I’m not sure anyone has ever had a problem with that line.

The List only has ones that were pointed out on here, not sure if there are others they missed…

It’s the holiday season, I wouldn’t expect too many updates from Ady until next year.

WHM announced they’re going to do another Star Wars episode and commentary. I’m so excited, you guys.

In other news, I’m three episodes away from ending my run on Standard Orbit. It’s been fun, but recording, editing, and publishing takes up a lot of time, and 110 episodes (which is the number of “episodes” of the TOS crew) is a good run.

I’ll still be available for guest spots on other podcasts though.

Roddenberry biopic? I don’t think such things are beyond the realm of possibility. Or at least a making of TOS show. One of the guests I’ve had on my podcast recently hinted at it, don’t remember if it was on the record.

That article was written by Matt from dinosaurdracula.com and formerly of x-entertainment.com, which are/were both fueled by nostalgia. StarWars.com was asking for this when they hired him. But even so, it’s hardly official word. My podcast network producer does an article for StarTrek.com, that doesn’t make my podcast canon. 😉
