Muppets at Christmas? I’m looking forward to that - nice one 😃
The more Muppet projects the better ❤️
‘One Year Later - Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ - by HelloGreedo
Huh - same here ^
Cheers man, I think I’ll give it a miss if it’s going with the revisionism and 1977/1980/1983 = 1997 angle, as well as being a book of that expense - with such a misleading title too.
(Though will pop into the local bookshop and have a look through at the images 😉)
The new ‘Star Wars Archives: 1977-1983’ book has me somewhat intrigued… though not at £120 (around $150 US)

Has anyone parted with their hard-earned for this - what did you think of it?
A new video up…
‘Luke Skywalker - The Journey of a Jedi’ - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muUTjg0oLvQ (a whole 6 mins long)
^ brilliant mate 😃
Forgot all about this thread…
Electric Youth are well worth a listen too; a decent mix here - youtube mix link
with Without You, A Real Hero, We Are The Youth, Runaway, The Best Thing, Right Back To You, Turn It Up, Faces, Fade Away, Tomorrow, Turn It Up, Innocence, Modern Fears, & Final Girl really standing out on the retro 80’s electronica nostalgia 😃
Really great vocals from Bronwyn Griffin, and an unmistakable 80’s beat and vibe behind them from Austin Garrick - hope they do well.
Twitter : Facebook : Discogs : Wiki
There is also a quality youtube channel - New Retro Wave - contains lots of neo-80’s electronica music from many different bands, artists and styles of music. A fair few playlists to help narrow down what some fans may be looking for too…
https://www.youtube.com/user/NewRetroWave/videos : https://twitter.com/NewRetroWave : https://newretrowave.com/
The site linked above is quite vast - featuring forums, radio station, music player, news, reviews, retro gaming, art section, merch store and contests…
The Midnight are quite decent too (with quality sax solos)…
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-sM_PLqzgktdUcW2LEKKkQ/playlists : https://www.themidnightofficial.com/
Love their ‘Sunset’ tune set to Career Opportunities, ‘Gloria’ to Back To The Future, The Comeback Kid to Karate Kid, and ‘Light Years’ set to Stranger Things, ‘Los Angeles’ set to La La Land, Vampires with their own video, plus a lot more…
Seems to be pretty decent live too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ULYO4XMoJQ (and some great duets with Nikki Flores)
A shame you gave up after Rosa mate, think you missed out some good episodes and intriguing stories - not without faults or criticism, but enjoyable overall.
Re the viewing figures - how so a ‘nosedive’ mate? Comparing season 11’s viewing figures to season 10’s - they have improved… both seasons lose viewers as the series progresses, yet season 11’s lowest rating beats the highest rating of season 10:-
http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/doctor-who-series-11-2018-uk-ratings-accumulator-88397.htm
http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/doctor-who-series-10-2017-uk-ratings-accumulator-84045.htm
Season 11 had generally positive reviews overall in the UK mainstream media (that I read, anyway - Guardian, Mirror, Telegraph, Times, Independent & Metro).
Though I don’t know much about the complaints ‘about the PC subject matter’ - didn’t see any of it myself, yet am sure many social media clickbaiters were / are out in force (as they seemingly are so for so many other franchises / series).
Not saying the season wasn’t without it’s faults - yet hopefully some will be ironed out for Season 2 as everyone is more settled into the show. Some of the criticism over the ‘villains’ seems fair enough, as does not really delving into the companions individually (though has been an emphasis on ‘team’ this season), and a little more focus on the Doctor herself would be welcome in the future, I think.
Hope you enjoy Season 2 more mate.
There may be some threads of interest and help about this (and printing tips and assistance) in the Index thread, mate.
Usually, it’s because Adobe Reader has a default of ‘Fit to Printable Area’ - untick or deselect this option, and also check to see if there any margins being used that could result in your image being resized.
This guide below explains it far better than I can (I think you can ignore the paper size content)…

Good luck with it mate - hope it works for you 😃

Very much looking forward to their new album 😃
‘Knight Of The Drones’ - think it was the first episode for Season Three mate (I only remember this as it was the first episode Bonnie was back in Knight Rider after being replaced April for the season before - honest! 😃)
I watched too much 80’s tv as kid…
Obviously I had no idea it was a re-purposed Star Wars toy gun - nice find mate 😃
Watching Gerry Anderson’s various tv series as a kid - usually on Saturday mornings or every day during school holidays…
Stingray, Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and even Terrahawks - through to the live action series of UFO and Space 1999 😃
The man got through some work - imdb link : Fanderson - Gerry Anderson appreciation society

T’Bonz…
A quality reminder for his top site - cheers, Screams 😃
Not sure if Screams wanted to include twitter pages (as they’re not really websites) - yet thought these may be of some interest - especially from an OT point of view…
Star Wars 1977-1983 - some great pics and info
Classic Star Wars - as above, with an emphasis on the toys / merch at the time
Star Wars Underworld - decent enough news and info site for all things Star Wars
OriginalTrilogy.com - seems familiar somehow… 😉
Sweet idea for a thread mate 😃
I love the vibe and look of that stylish Star Wars Archives site you linked to.
SaveStarWars.com - zombie84’s SSW site; comprehensive research into the history of Star Wars - also highlighting the revisionism / contradictions from George…
Secret History Of Star Wars - another zombie84 website, as above this time re zombie84’s book; website is re-hosted by none
Star Wars Special Edition Visual Comparisons - doubleofive’s quality and intriguing resource blog
Star Wars Holiday Special website - for me the definitive SWHS site; run by SKot
HelloGreedo’s ‘Star Wars Profiles’ video series of actors and people BTS of the Original Trilogy (and beyond…)
Jambe Davdar’s Filmumentaries Site - superb video projects, documentaries and interviews etc
The People Vs George Lucas - website for the 2010 documentary
Star Wars At The Movies - a beautiful looking resource for the OT films (with articles, blog and podcasts)
Milners Blog - Star Wars - quality SW news and decent quality images
Hi Tony and welcome,
Myspleen is a private torrent site - it is nothing to do with OriginalTrilogy•com - though more info can be found about it - and a fair few other answers to questions, here:-
‘How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com - some information & answers to queries
There is also some information towards the top of the linked page above that may hopefully be of some help or interest too - with links to the About & Help sections, the Announcements section, a site timeline thread, and more 😃
Good luck with it, man.
Interesting that, cheers. Was more a fan of the cartoon style StreetFighter back on the SNES - yet mates at the time all seems to love Mortal Kombat (love as in spend hour upon hour on it - yet not really getting any better 😉)
Loved your Star Wars arcade history doc too.
