dahmage or the markdown posts? 😉
I don’t think there’ll be a filter for the markdown posts mate - though I usually delete them when I come across any.
Hopefully there are a fair fewer markdown syntax posts than before.
Please feel free to point out any still on the site and I’ll do my best to get around to deleting them (other than the markdown posts in this thread 😉 )
Gonna have to watch Blade Runner again this year - it is 2019 afterall…
^ Always good to see a bit of love for ROTJ - from the Shattered Empire series of comics.

Love the concept of R2 projecting his life - what he has seen…
To build Starkiller, I believe mate.
(I stopped watching after a few episodes and haven’t got back into it as yet - though now as Resistance is set around the TFA timeline it may be a decent time to jump back in 😃)
more from the book of bad jokes…
I accidentally handed my wife the glue stick instead of the chap stick…
She still isn’t talking to me.

‘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 Original Trilogy 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)…
^ Edit: there is now a 'Midichlorians (+ the failed retcon attempt of them ‘having always been there’ in the GFFA, & their invention for the Prequels)’ section containing several threads on the subject in An Index & Help Thread for Original Trilogy Discussion.
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)
In the Star Wars novelisation, originally published in 1976 and titled as ‘Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker’, the author wrote this about ‘the force’…
"Kenobi nodded. "I forget sometimes in whose presence I babble. Let us say simply that the force is something a Jedi must deal with. While it has never been properly explained, scientists have theorized it is an energy field generated by living things. Early man suspected its existence, yet remained in ignorance of its potential for millennia.
“Only certain individuals could recognize the force for what it was. They were mercilessly labeled: charlatans, fakers, mystics—and worse. Even fewer could make use of it. As it was usually beyond their primitive controls, it frequently was too powerful for them. They were misunderstood by their fellow—and worse.”
Kenobi made a wide, all encompassing gesture with both arms. “The force surrounds each and every one of us. Some men believe it directs our actions, and not the other way around. Knowledge of the force and how to manipulate it was what gave the Jedi his special power.”
^ by George Lucas (author of the 1976 novelisation of Star Wars).
Anyone know of a site or blog, book or detailed article (or thread or post), cataloging the various point-by-point details on 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
This may be of some help mate:-

‘Dark Legacy - an Unofficial Star Wars Story by Anthony Pietromonaco’…
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gKpJy3bzaw - a 12 minute video at the Anthony Pietromonaco youtube channel.
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.
Season 4 teaser - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtGqjxECVe8
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:-
^ with the collaborative knowledge, experience and skills of the talent on here that would be a quality project to behold.

‘We’re taking this SHIP to a whole new level in a galaxy far, far away. When the characters of Star Wars meet the emotional medley of “Shallow” from “A Star is Born” we get a glimpse at a star-crossed romance between two rivals. 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:-

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:-
