A bit of a bump, yet I think a welcome one, to be sure…
‘Star Wars: Episode IV sound design explained by Ben Burtt’:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So0nmciiFJg - from the ‘Indepth Sound Design’ youtube channel
Not really significant news, though likely a welcome one if you’re looking forward to the new Trilogy…
‘Something else for #StarWars fans, @rianjohnson said on the #CinemaCon stage he was going back to a galaxy far far away after ‘Knives Out’.’…
^ from https://twitter.com/colliderfrosty/status/1113929484934062081?s=19 - from Steven Weintraub, editor at Collider
‘.@rianjohnson is just as excited for J.J. Abram’s #StarWars Episode IX as we are, and he tells us at #CinemaCon he hopes that the directors keep taking the universe to new heights: “I want him to do stuff that I wasn’t expecting him to do”’…

I forgot to add this classic Star Wars fan film previously…
Star Wars Uncut - 2010 thread, by xhonzi
Star Wars: Uncut -± ESBU Trailer - 2009 thread, by none
Would brickfilms be considered for this thread? Brickfilms, if anyone doesn’t know, are stop-motion Lego videos. There are millions of brickfilms found on YouTube.
If they are Star Wars themed or based go for it, mate 😃
If not, I think there is are couple of good Lego threads in the Media section of the site; this one amongst them The Official LEGO Discussion & Review Thread
Dre - Not to speak for Biggs Audio Dynamite here, though I think she was stating you may get a wider, indepth and more meaningful (and maybe higher quality?) discussion on the issues like ‘Disney remake strategy’, either ‘in general, or for the ST?’, and other subjects mentioned in their own respective threads?
There’s a good chance of more people would likely know where to find them on the site, at least.
(bloody hell, Dre - you edit your posts quicker than me - impressive… 😉)
Edit: It doesn’t seem it is so much about positive or negative reviews or statements - or not liking to read critical posts, or be in an echo chamber - it’s the repetitiveness of them she was referring to? (ie, She ‘see start of posts saying like ‘for all the good things’ but people don’t then say what those things are. The same for those who post ‘for all the bad things’, and then mention focus or mention on the good. It comes across as empty lip service, to me anyway’.
Though you may be better asking that of BAD.
^ I think the music fits well - it didn’t take me out of the scene, and as you say - from the viewer’s perspective watching the films I to VI, makes sense that the creation of a Republic army is seen as a good thing…
From the Desk of Charles Lippincott…
“The ‘secret weapon’ behind Star Wars”
^ I think this has been posted on here before - though I can’t find it right now. And besides, it’s an article worthy repeating.
It’s also a great insightful blog too - from one of the unsung contributors (now almost erased from the official history) who helped the make the Star Wars universe what it was.

http://therealcharleslippincott.blogspot.com/search/label/Ad Concepts - some intriguing posters for promoting Star Wars that were deemed to be ‘failed ad concepts’…
With a lot more Star Wars content too - http://therealcharleslippincott.blogspot.com/search/label/STAR WARS 😃
(as well as other projects he has worked)
Really enjoying seeing the colour corrected scenes - much more agreeable on the eye and also more in keeping with the OT. The trimmed dialogue for the Tatooine clip works well for me too 😃
Bigelow Constant Comment, the quintessential American tea.
by Deuce? 😉
What about yourself, paja?
I’ve been drinking Diplomat: lemon & ginger and Japanese jasmine tea ![]
The missus loves lemon and ginger tea as well - you people with acquired tastes 😃
I do drink the occasional ‘yerba mate’ - a bit like bitter green tea (so I’m told) - and meant to be quite a bit healthier than the usual tea or coffee; fair few nutrients in there and tastes pretty good (if you like bitter drinks).
Seems to be quite popular with athletes and people wishing to lose a bit of weight too, along with those wishing to boost immune systems (though I’ve no idea if it works - or how well it does work).

a ‘high quality’ version of the leaked poster from yesterday…
image removed - StarKillerAG had already posted previously.
Seems Thanos wasn’t messing around - this is now serious…
Happened across this by accident, don’t think I’ve seen it before
Beautiful artwork that by Matthew Spurlock.
It’s featured in here too, mate - along with some more quality TLJ art:-
(with similar threads for the other SW films released of late in the ‘Case Covers, Disc Labels, and Fan Art’ section 😃)
It could be one of many legit posters for IX - though possibly just not the main official poster?
There were any number of licensed posters available to buy for TFA and TLJ…
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot!
😉
I wish - I just can’t stand the stuff, even the smell (which isn’t great when living in Blighty).
Am told Yorkshire tea is ‘quite nice’ from a few mates.
What about yourself, paja?
😉
Not too sure about this guy/girl…
Though as other others have pointed out… no title still, no Leia or R2? 3PO packing heat?
Would love to see new versions of the Rebel ships in the film too - if the poster if official…
possible Episode IX poster - leaked…
Beautiful exclusive cover for the coming Master and Apprentice at Celebration Chicago 2019…
^ Quality as usual from Mr Hamster 😃
Leaked poster for Episode IX…?
(up to you if you wish to click on ‘Expand’…)
‘Episode IX Character reveals’…
I just love this Gif. It’s now my sig.
You have a PM about that, mate 😉
