‘Saffiyah Khan: From EDL viral photo to The Specials’…
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-47147069?
Well in The Specials, and Saffiyah Khan too, of course.
Had a copy a long time ago… and was completed (levels unlocked) and all that - hopefully playing it all over again be as fun as I remember… 💥
^ Nice find RogueLeader 😃
The General Star Wars Discussion Index Thread (in the ‘Archival / Historical discussions’ section) has a few threads featured on Lucas’ revisionism / re-writing of history / some of the contradictions or maybe mis-remembering events… depending on your point of view 😉
I’m not sure if midichlorians are mentioned specifically in there - though seems likely they would be (somewhere)…
There are a few OT•com threads on some of Rinzler’s books (and also zombie84’s ‘Secret History of Star Wars’ book) which may feature the topic too?:-
The Secret History of Star Wars : ‘Now Available In Print’ thread : AudioBook thread
Making of Star Wars (New Book) Discussion
Making of Empire Strikes Back (the book) thread : Heilemann’s thread on the MoESB book
Making of Return of the Jedi (the book) Thread
Star Wars Storyboards: The Original Trilogy (the book)
Anyone know of a site or blog, book or detailed article (or thread or post), cataloging in detail the subject of Lucas’ revisionism / re-writing of history / some of the contradictions or maybe mis-remembering events?
It’d make for an intriguing read - and a welcome addition on here given many of the changes to the history of Star Wars films over the years - given the somewhat contradictory reasons as to why from George Lucas himself…
I can’t figure out how to post pictures on here

‘Dark Legacy - an Unofficial Star Wars Story by Anthony Pietromonaco’…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gKpJy3bzaw
More info at https://www.starwarsdarklegacy.com/
An engaging watch, with references to Sith thinking and culture, and also some top choreography - along with emotion and an unpredictability to the fight scenes. Very well done overall - a quality production; I hope they do more releases in the future.
I also think veering off too much and you have a SW indie film that a lot fewer people will want to see.
But would probably be infinitely more interesting. I’m probably in the minority here, but I would love to see a Star Wars story done on a smaller scale. You don’t need $200 million to make a good Star Wars movie.
I’d like to see more stories on a smaller scale - a short series of one-off specials - maybe the coming Disney+ service will make this more of a possibility…
(and it’s not like Disney or Lucasfilm are amatuers at maximising revenues (blu ray sales, tv rights, toys, books & comics, merchandise etc - and of course… ‘growing the brand’ 😉)
‘Man In The High Castle’s 4th Season To Be Last For Amazon’s Alt-History Series’…
^ Disappointing that - though at least it gives a chance to wrap up with a deserved end to the series.

Desperate Housewives, eh? You surprise me every day paja 😃
Shadows Of The Empire would be great.
GoldenEye (N64) - it’ll likely never happen due to the licensing complications involved - but an up-to date release of that would be superb (with additional levels and multiplayer options & possibilities).
(and much kudos to the people who made ‘Goldeneye X’ and ‘GoldenEye Source’ etc)
Knock it off lads - thank you.
M0bi0us0ne - please try following HanDuet’s The Ultimate Introductory Guide again, and if you’re still having issues then give him a heads-up - see the Feedback section in his Guide. (Countless people have - and will - follow this guide to obtain the Despecialized Editions, so if there is an issue it’s best to let the relevant people know).
You may wish to consider trying solkap’s thread here, for an alternative way of obtaining the Despecialized Editions:-

Rubbing people up the wrong way - who are in a position to help you - probably won’t do you many favours on here.
Good luck with it.
Thanks for the help oojason!!!
Unfortunately I get error 403 on the link you posted
Likely a glitch in the matrix 😉 I’ve edited the original link so hope it now works - if not, try this one mate:-

‘We’re taking this SHIP to a whole new level in a galaxy far, far away.

Sit back, grab an ice cold glass of green milk, and enjoy the newest Nerdist Presents music video parody. From the team that brought you “That Spidey Life” and “Young King”.’
^ Quite funny in places 😃
Hi Noah,
This thread may be of some assistance and interest mate:-
Some info & help for Harmy’s Despecialized Editions of the Original Trilogy…
and solkap (along with a few others) also very kindly and generously give a lot of time and effort to answer many people’s questions - and any difficulties in obtaining the Depsecialized Editions from him, in his thread, here:-

Good luck with it man.

Exactly! Anyone paying attention can see the potential for where this show can go. And people on the production team have already confirmed the series will continue into and parallel the events of TFA and TLJ.
The latest Resistance episode seem to done exactly that mate; giving some welcome additional info on some of the scene-setting that featured in the story and events of TFA:-

‘How we made the effects on Solo: A Star Wars Story’…
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-47212262/how-we-made-the-effects-on-solo-a-star-wars-story
'The film Solo: A Star Wars Story has been Oscar nominated in the best visual effects category.
Visual effects supervisor Julian Foddy of ILM London spoke to Al Moloney about some of the challenges the company faced in helping to make the film.’
^ Quite in interesting video on how they achieved certain elements of the film (with a couple of cool surprises in there) - and that despite the director of the film changing late on… the release date for Solo remained the same.
All good mate - it happens. Blasted algorithms and memory 😉
^ could be worse man - you could have clicked on the same video, linked just two posts above, a few weeks earlier…
Back to The Mandalorian…
