tl;dr version:
Deckard is a replicant of Gaff (Edward James Olmos). Gaff, an experienced blade runner, is physically impaired and unable to hunt down the Nexus 6 replicants from the colony. The police arrange to use Deckard and implant all of Gaff's memories, knowledge, skills, etc. into him.
Gaff knows about the unicorn dream. That's why he makes the origami unicorn.
Orange?
Good guy Ridley Scott.
Have you really watched 14 movies in 2-3 days?
I didn't know Weird Al descended from Jango Fett.
Oh, and
Attempted plot summary assembled from trailer shots:
Interesting take but I don't think the bald, taller human-looking characters are mutated team members. They could be the purported engineers of an alien race.

You don't like Oreo's what?

I just don't get the whole idea. Why did God bother with creation in the first place? And why fuss over us? I mean, so what if we don't worship you - just create another universe of people and this time don't fuck up and give them the option of not worshiping you.
Actually maybe that happened. Nietzsche was wrong; God isn't dead, he has just moved on.

It's a shame this thread can't be merged with the mug it out thread and sink to the bottom of board.
It's time to China Syndrome this crap.

I'm considering to produce a sequel to this thread in the future.
Hug It Out 2: Off-Topic Boogaloo
I think Vader wanted to be there but lost track of time removing sand from his new suit.
Sand gets everywhere. :(

Am I the only one who finds this incredibly depressing? Oh, how I long for a good old fashioned sci-fi movie that makes use of models, practical effects, matt paintings, stop-mo animation, puppetry, etc, instead of soleless CGI.....

I will feel pretty disappointed if Michael Fassbender is not filled with spaghetti.
Sir Ridley and Fassbender mentioned Pastafarianism and the FSM in some interviews. Count on spaghetti.

Hello FOT,
Well, as many of you have suspected (or possibly read in “GamesTM”) we are working on a new Tex Murphy game. (Better late than never, right?... right? )
We made a decision within the past few months that now was the time to complete the Tex Storyline. We could not wait any longer. We agreed that we needed to finish the story, although it had to be a more "modest" game design since Big Finish Games is a small gaming studio.
However, with the recent Kickstarter success stories for other Adventure Games - Double Fine Adventure & Wasteland 2 - we saw an opportunity to create a game of a larger scale. So, with that in mind, we hope to bring the next Tex Murphy game to an a much bigger, dare I say, epic level - More actors, locations, broader stories and yes - even meaningful, varied story paths. With these elements, we have a better chance of expanding the audience and a better chance of commercial success and continuation. All of this would allow us to make a true Adventure game with Immersive 3D world, Full Motion Video, and longer game play.
On May 15, we are going to launch a Kickstarter page to help raise funding for the project. As we prepare to film the Kickstarter video, we’re interested in feedback from you guys about what fundraising incentives you would like to see. Old Games? New Games? Tote Bags? T-Shirts, Posters, Artwork, Autographs, dinner for two? Dinner for three? Carl Kasell’s voice on your home answering machine? Let us know!
We also to get you involved in making the video. We want “Tex Murphy Testimonials” – written or video testimonials about what you loved about the prior games. We will incorporate some of these testimonials into our video and post others on our website or YouTube page.
If you would like to send us feedback or get involved, please fill out the form on Big Finish’s contact page: http://bigfinishgames.com/contact
Thank you for sticking with us! We've really appreciated your patience and loyalty and hope to give you guys an awesome game!
Thanks,
Chris
Does OT.com qualify as being a part of the deep web?
I vote yes, after reading various threads on here.
Ooh I didn't realize we have some old school adventure gamers on here.
Very interested to see what Jones is developing.
This is an exclusive on-set behind the scenes photo of the filming of that scene.
I don't know the history with Abc/XyZ on here.
How long was he gone? Why did he come back?
edit - redacted one comment because I don't want to speculate on who XyZ is. Not my business.
I joined last August, primarily seeking safe haven from blu-ray.com and the raging debates over there. I knew about OT.com before last summer and think I first learned about it when the 2006 limited edition DVDs were announced. However, after ROTS I didn't really think about SW much in any regard. The blu-ray announcement brought me out of my cave.
My SW interests are the UOT and some pre-PT EU (games, comics, books). I find discussion of the prequels and Lucas' behavior over the years stimulating. I loved Decipher's customizable card game when I was younger. I never owned too much SW stuff. I was always most interest in the movies themselves and, possibly to a greater extent, the music.
I mainly read/post in the General SW and off-topic forums. I read the fan edit, preservation, and other forums once in a while. But, I've never had time to really be involved technically or creatively with the various efforts by other members.
I like connecting with everyone on the site about SW, even if some of us have differing opinions on Lucas, the prequels, etc. This website and community are really awesome and I'm grateful for its existence.
I love movies of all forms (seen almost 2000 of them). I don't even know what my top 5 are anymore, but Blade Runner is always #1.
I still love watching reruns of Seinfeld when they are on tv. I can quote countless Simpsons lines from seasons 1-10, though I haven't watched those episodes in a few years.
I'm pretty cynical in real life. I waste too much time on the internet. Otherwise, I'm a boring person.
