A modern ‘X-Wing vs Tie Fighter’ would be great.
Jet Set Willy 4 for the Commodore 64… (none of that JSW3 rubbish on the Amiga) 😉
The kind of walls we need to be building - and maintaining…
This is a lot of stuff. It should be posted somewhere more prominently, or even turned into a video series.
Aye mate - a documentary style video of it (or maybe a powerpoint style presentation - a la the Rebel Command briefing the Rebel pilots for the Death Star attack in '77 😉) would be great - as are some of the suggestions made with in this linked thread, and probably more effective than the ‘wall of text’ that this turned into! 😃
I certainly don’t have the skills needed for anything like that - though people are most welcome to give it a go…

£7.99 for the game ($10US); not bad at all (okay, the equipment is somewhat expensive, yet a great price for the game itself)

Cool idea for a thread Peter Pan 😃
adywan has fix lists for each of his Revisited Edition Edits - which may be of some interest for inclusion in this thread…
Star Wars: Revisited : Empire Strikes Back: Revisited : Return Of The Jedi: Revisited
There are also a few threads in the ‘General Star Wars Discussion threads…’ section of the An Index Thread for General Star Wars Discussion which may of use too.
Good luck with it.
Just a quick reminder that all you guys and gals can edit your own thread titles if you wish.
Go to the first post, scroll down to the end of the post, and click on the light blue ‘Edit’ button - where you can enter text in the ‘Topic title’ section.
Or ask a mod to do it 😃

The author also has a facebook page, here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/368336350287651/ - with some great pictures of old toys, annuals and merchandise 😃
I love that video - also well worth watching the end credits’ sequences too 😃
‘Star Wars Darth Vader costume could go for $2 million at auction’…
A man who made appearances as Darth Vader at film premieres and fan conventions will sell a costume created in 1979 by the “Star Wars” design team at an auction of classic movie memorabilia next month, auction house Bonhams said.

'Screen capture from a VR experienced developed by Dylan Stout for Oculus Rift in Unity3D. The game is intended to be a remake of the 1983 ATARI Star Wars arcade game originally developed by Mike Hally. This game was later reimagined as a coin-op arcade game: now it is presented to you in full HD rendered goodness and fully custom 4K texturing.
Many credits go to 3D model artists at scifi3d for making the some of the models seen here freely available for me to modify and drop into the game engine. See end credits for a full list of artists and contributors.
The game was created for the purpose of research at the University of Utah during a study in virtual reality related motion sickness. The study details the way in which vection and self-movement is impacted by reference points in a 3D space. The first level is to allow a single reference point: the death star. The second level allows a planar reference point: the surface. The third level allows fully encompassing reference points: the trench & obstacles. The research study is ongoing and will publish soon.’
My gif making skills aren’t up to much - but I think I demonstrated with the original gif as to what yotsuya posted, and more ^ (as there are a few scrapes and bumps after the initial part of the flying which were seemingly forgotten or overlooked so far), yet probably best to watch the actual whole scene from the film itself…
Re… ‘as if that justifies the immediate following minutes of footage of Rey expertly piloting the Falcon through ridiculously small spaces as if she’d been flying it for years’ - Rey flies through the innards of the Star Destroyer for a total of 20-21 seconds, pretty much in a straight line after a taking a slight turn, before exiting sharply (as the tunnel decreases in size, and the TIE is also about to ‘lock on’).
No snide, condescending tone, scoffing, or cherrypicking required.
I’ll leave it here as .Val is busy editing his post to include more veiled digs for 2 hours now. And I’ve got better things to do.
‘Possible ‘marsquake’ detected for first time on red planet’…
A Nasa probe has detected and measured what scientists believe to be a “marsquake”, marking the first time a likely seismological tremor has been recorded on another planet, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.

The list of things George could have fixed given his mandate for the SE’s but didn’t could make it’s own thread.
I finally managed to track down the thread which highlighted some of the things that George still hadn’t fixed in his 3 Special Edition attempts…
What HASN’T been changed on Blu-ray-- the uncorrected mistakes of Star Wars, by Gavin-, back in 2011.
For anyone interested, and as mentioned in the linked thread above, it’s also worth a look for at adywan’s Revisited Edition threads for a list of fixes that adywan has somehow managed to complete - whereas as George seemingly chose not to (or didn’t bother him)…
Star Wars: Revisited : Empire Strikes Back: Revisited : Return Of The Jedi: Revisited
The offspring of a minor local politician, one who’d been stirring up hatred and division online on facebook blaming anyone who didn’t look like, or think like them - for all of society’s ills, was arrested last week; for the very crimes their parent had been blaming on ‘those foreigners, innit’.
In 2008, a teenager in the UK legally changed his name to ‘Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine The Hulk and The Flash Combined.’
I wonder if he still got the same name, some 11 years on…
