❕ An <strong>Index</strong> + <strong>'Info &amp; Help'</strong> Thread for... <strong><em>Original Trilogy Discussion</em></strong> ❕
Time

A ‘Star Wars Homages (also tributes, parodies and blatant rip-offs)’ section has now been added to the Index.

 

A ‘Star Wars Documentaries’ section has been added too.

^ Edit: this can now be found in the An Index & Help Thread for The Expanded Universe - in The Expanded Universe

The ‘General Star Wars discussions’ section has been broken down into more manageable ‘bite-sized’ and group categories too - hopefully making it ‘easier to find’ some of the many various threads on here.

^ Edit: this can now be found in the An Index & Help Thread for General Star Wars Discussion - in General Star Wars Discussion
 

One of which is a new section for the ‘Original Trilogy films’ themselves, a ‘Star Wars scenes, tropes, meta etc’ category, a ‘Characters and Actors’ section, ‘Fandom discussion threads… part’, and a ‘Media and Collection & Memorabilia’ area too.

 

The ‘Archival / Historical discussions’ section has been separated into two ‘bite-sized’ chunks as well - one one the more historical aspects; the other re the people behind the scenes around the time of OT era…

 

Also added are some new threads to many of the other categories too.

If anyone has any threads for inclusion in of the Index sections here - please post them up in here - thank you.

Awesome ! I need a t-shirt with that poster on it . I also think I may vote for the Gremloid party .

Yep, am on the lookout for a high quality pic of this for that purpose too 😃

In 1982, a Turkish film-maker with a budget crisis came up with an ingenious solution for his science-fiction epic: steal some footage from George Lucas’s classic

Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *
Time

EP IX SPOILERS…

Feast upon on this storyboard for the final scenes of IX below, not only that but tying up the whole saga too…

Take it in, consider the thematic merits, revel in all it’s spoilerific glory, it’s impact upon culture for years to come:-

Cue the moaning gits - ‘oh it’s on Tatooine again - come up with something original, why don’t you? Disney has ruined Star Wars!’ or something 😉
 

If someone can put that up on Youtube and monetise it (usual stuff: ‘RJ is a manbaby - proof!’, ‘Kathleen Kennedy is secret SJW President of the WOORRRLLLLDDDD! - admitted in her own words’, ‘JarJar Abrams IS Mike Zeroh - pic exclusive’, etc) I’m willing to share any profits! PS - Don’t tell anyone if we rearrange a few words and issue it as a new video featuring the same content & claims - all for repeat hits - keep that bit quiet. Ta, muchly.

^ I agree, and would like to think she’d apologise to the Umpire too (he just enforces the rules as fairly as he can - and seems to have a reputation for doing just - firm but fair, and equal to everyone whether a kid player or Number 1).

Can understand why a few umpires aren’t too happy with the lack of support they are getting from certain quarters, though nice to see the ITF backing Ramos up - https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-tennis-usopen-itf-umpire/itf-defends-u-s-open-chair-umpire-ramos-idUKKCN1LQ28B?rpc=401&

A New Hope: The Biggs+ edit (* unfinished project *)
Time

It may be worth considering working from alternative source than the official blu ray - as yotsuya points out the quality of the Biggs scenes aren’t that great - it may be easier to / blend in those scenes ‘better’ using a more ‘raw’ looking source? Maybe something like 4K77 or a source with a grindhouse style feel to it?

Just an idea - good luck with it mate.

RLM’s ‘Star Trek: Galaxy - re:View’ video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe1hKZjCVyM

Mike and Rich spitball some ideas for that newly announced Picard TV show. Mike has an idea to put Picard back on a Galaxy class ship again so he can relish in nostalgia and yell “I recognize that!” at his TV. Rich and Mike talk crew, mission, science mystery and not having a Star Trek series based on “action schlock” and terrible things that make us puke.

Why does Tarkin’s CGI in Rogue One look so plastic-y? Could they have made it look more realistic?

a reply from Hal Hickel, Animation Director at Industrial Light and Magic (1996-present)…

Seems he’s answered a few other fan questions too - which is pretty cool and kind of him to do.
