“We’ve analysed their attack sir, and there is a danger” is consistent with the unpredictability and audaciousness of the Rebels’ hastily conceived plan. Otherwise the dialogue would/should be “Governor Tarkin, we’ve been betrayed! A design flaw was deliberately planted in the station and we must evacuate immediately!”…

Or in the midst of a battle… Bast (and his team) analyzing what the Rebels are trying to accomplish with their small fighter attack… immediately reports the newly found perceived danger to his superior. Likely further analysis on the how, the why, and by whom - with any likelihood of determining intentional sabotage in the design of the Death Star systems is probably ongoing (or hasn’t yet finished formulating the information). Seems logical enough.

There is an arrogance, complacency, supremacy or overconfidence on display from the Imperials through the OT, afterall.

The Death Star wasn’t blown up because of insider sabotage.

Indeed. This is what I hate the most about R1. It’s as stupid as the midichlorians stuff. The death star is a dragon, with a weakness that people oversaw (“we have analysed their strategy… there might be a danger”). Not just a random weapon with a defect placed within on purpose.

In R1, as a Prequel, I can excuse and understand a few inconsistencies with the OT. But this “implemented sabotage” is inexcusable for me. It steals away something of the soul of ANH. I wish R1 had been what it was supposed to be: a heist movie with a death wish commando getting the plans, not a father-dauther relationship story. Basically more or less the way Maple reedited the movie as “The battle of Scarif” 😃

0/10 😉

Bast - “We’ve analyzed their attack, sir, and there is a danger… Should I have your ship standing by?”

Tarkin - “Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances!”

Not to state the obvious on a site dedicated to this one truth but, as we’ve been stridently pointing out to Lucas for decades now, Star Wars '77 was fine as it was.

Shopping Maul said:

What’s interesting to me is that RO gets such a great rap on a site dedicated to preserving the unaltered OT.

Shopping Maul said:

I’m just amazed that other fans don’t see this as basically a defacto Special Edition change.

Just a couple of points for clarity…

For someone who has been on this site for over 5 years… you haven’t noticed that your fellow members on here may also like or enjoy Star Wars content other than the Original Trilogy too? That there are many members with positive views and respect or appreciation for many of the differing Star Wars releases?

And that having a positive opinion of the non-OT releases on here is perfectly okay.

You can indeed prefer to watch the Prequel Trilogy, or Holiday Special, or one of the animated tv series, or read the EU books etc over the Original Trilogy (and also talk about them on here)… yet still also want the OOT released.

And you certainly don’t have to despise other non-OT content, find certain scenes in them the worst crime, or be just amazed that others here see things differently than you do.

^ I need more coffee - for some reason I read that Katee Sackhoff was going to be in Dune for a moment there (which’d be great!)

Oscar Isaac - the man can certainly pull off a good beard. I hadn’t realised he was going be in Dune - nice one.

The SW Celebration twitter thing will likely be a good a way of if someone is going to be there or not (bar any last minute cancellations etc) - https://twitter.com/SW_Celebration - or the https://twitter.com/starwars

Hiya Ray - there should be a cool beer labels thread (the beer should be passable too) 😃

A few mates have shelves of empty exotic and rare bottles of beer (cider and other stuff as well) they’ve downed over the years - am a little envious at times.

😉

Micro-bars are popping up quite a bit in the UK of late (lots of empty shops around for some time now - so good deals on rent etc). The upside is lots of decent local beer with some quality designs to catch the eye - and the occasional bar-propping connoisseur bringing back some of the good stuff from his travels to share around… :burp:

A fair few guests have been announced - https://www.starwarscelebration.com/Guests (though not sure how up to date that is).

I hadn’t realised the delectable Katee Sackhoff had been in Rebels & Clone Wars!

I had read somewhere - and can’t remember where - that Oscar Isaac may be appearing too.

Aye, I think that’s Chewie - who’s about to pull the arms off JJ 😉

Anyone from here going?

Anything specific anyone here is looking forward to watching on streams / youtube?

There’s been some talk on other SW sites that blue is playing a prominent colour in some of the promotional content of late - and may be connected to the colour featuring in IX (much the way red featured in TLJ). I guess we’ll find that out, and more, on that Friday panel…

Should be interesting to see Billy Dee Williams there too - and if he gives anything away about IX.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this thread (mods, feel free to move it if it’s not), but as per title, I have a 4K digital copy for “Into the Spider-Verse” that I am willing to trade, preferably for another 4K code. Shoot me a PM if you have an offer!

The moderators have had a talk on the subject of whether to allow trades for digital codes on the site… and given the forum’s somewhat unique position we don’t think we should allow it on here; ie, obtaining an official copy of content you haven’t paid for is against the Rules (or the spirit of them, anyway).

It plays a significant part of what has likely kept the lawyers away from here - and having discussions of trades / swaps or buying of these digital codes on the open forum could well likely also muddy the waters in the future as to regards our Fan Edit / Preservation Rules too.

Plus, a scenario where someone on here produces a Fan Edit that could be traced back to the Editor having used the footage to base it on - from obtaining a digital code without paying for it - doesn’t bode well…

We are aware other sites allow the buying / selling / trading of digital codes - though it is not for us on this site.
