The Random <em>Star Wars</em> Pics &amp; GIFs Thread

^ Am now quite hungry… a cool & simple idea - beautifully done 😃

 

 

“Rumours are spreading, that the idea for Imperium was originally conceived by Director Krennic & that, at the eleventh hour Gov. Tarkin took control of the project, receiving all credit for the successful fragrance.”

Semi-Final 1 (2nd leg)…

Real drew with Bayern Munich 2-2 in tonight’s semi-final… with Real going through to the Final (4-3 on aggregate)

http://www.fullmatchesandshows.com/2018/05/01/real-madrid-vs-bayern-munich-highlights-full-match-video/

Absolute cracking game - Bayern went to the very end - could have had a couple of penalties, and looked capable of scoring throughout - Real looked menacing on the counter…

 

Semi-Final 2 (2nd leg)…

Liverpool lose 4-2 away to Roma but still go through to the Final… winning 7-6 on aggregate overall 😃

‘No Filter UCL’ by BT Sport - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqUqtwAQnC0 (5 mins)

Some quite poor refereeing in this one - for both sides, yet another pulsating and end-to-end match littered with chances and goals! Roam really went for it, took a lot of risks - coming close - thankfully Liverpool’s effective counter-attack saw the mighty Reds through…

a couple of fan videos from the game - both Liverpool and Roma…

The Final - Real Madrid vs Liverpool - is on Saturday 26th May, 7.45pm kick off (UK time) - played in Kiev, Ukraine.

Should be a cracker - don’t think it will be a boring 0-0 draw either… 😉

0️⃣Looking to acquire projects on here? Then please read this…

 

 
(Take the time to look around to see how this place works - and doesn’t - so do NOT make any ‘link request’ posts on here - thank you!)
 

I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation Project I am interested in - but don’t know how to get / acquire / download it?

^ Note: New members cannot start PMs in their first 7 days here - though can view & reply to PMs they receive from other members.

 

The OriginalTrilogy•com is a community where a ‘read first - post after’ mantra benefits everyone here - especially for the ‘Fan Project’ sections. We appreciate some may be excited to see the projects that feature on here - information on how to acquire them is readily available - yet patience is also required. If you bring impatience, entitlement, aggressive or vitriolic attitudes, personal attacks, or toxicity… then expect some choice words in return - and also expect your stay on here to be a short one.

Fellow members are more likely to help you out if you are a participating member of the community here; you don’t have to be a fellow fan editor, preservationist, tech wiz, artistic or skilled etc… just a member that has made, or is making, an effort.

Do NOT create a new thread asking ‘for a link to’… to Harmy’s Despecialized Editions, TN1’s 4K77/80/83, adywan’s Revisited Edits, the Hal9000 Edits, or any other project listed on this site. It is for you to take 5 minutes and go find the relevant project on here, for you to then read up on what the project is about, and then how to acquire it. Do not ask / expect others to do this simple task for you - we’ve had hundreds of such entitled requests over the years - and the patience of community members here understandably wears thin. If thousands of people have managed to find, read up on, and then acquire these projects listed on here over the years… then you can too. A little patience - and a ‘read first - post after’ mantra - goes a long way on here…

 

ATTENTION NEW MEMBERS: “Link begging” posts will be deleted without notice ❗ - in Announcements

A great deal of time, love, dedication, and effort… goes into the making of near-on all the projects that appear on here.

So if and when you do watch an Edit or Project, please remember to leave some feedback for the Editor / Preservationist - whether on a technical level, or for ideas for additional changes / edits or alternatives, some constructive criticism, any glitches or technical issues you may have noticed, how much you enjoyed it, or even just a simple ‘thank you’…

Reviews are very much appreciated and valued by the project creators - helping them improve for any future versions - or for any other prospective projects.

❕ An <strong>Index Of Projects</strong> + <strong>'Info &amp; Help Thread'</strong> for... <strong><em>Preservation of Other Properties</em></strong> ❕
Time

Project Index + ‘Info & Help Thread’ for… Preservation of Other Properties

 

This Index is a modified version of Moth3r’s superb Project Index for this section of the OT•com - which was last updated in 2013. I didn’t want to risk ruining Moth3r’s thread - and that is why this is a new, updated and separate Index (also to help members on here find projects, info, and discussions a little more easily) - all based on Moth3r’s quality & comprehensive thread.
 

A polite request: That fan editors & preservationists keep their project threads (and thread titles) updated as to their status - whether their project is in the… ‘Planning’ or ‘Idea’ stages, if any ‘Help Needed’ is required, is a ‘Work In Progress (WIP)’, or hopefully ‘Finished’ & ‘Released’ - or even unfortunately ‘Unfinished’, ‘Cancelled’ or ‘On Hiatus’ etc.

The site staff also ask that fan editors & preservationists include information in the opening post of their project thread as to how they would like members to ask about obtaining their projects; whether that is by sending them a PM, or asking for link requests in the project thread itself, or by other means. To also follow our Fan Project Rules & OT.com Site Rules. Thank you.
 

If you’d like your project added to this Index please post a link to it below - along with which category it belongs in & its current status.

Some information about The 2020 re-organisation of the ‘Fan Project’ sections of the site - and more…
 

If creating a new thread that is NOT a fan project… please give fellow members a clear idea of what the thread is about. For example, add ‘Query’, or ‘Info’, ‘Discussion’, ‘Help: looking for…’, ‘Help Wanted’, ‘Info Wanted’, ‘Has anyone done a project on X?’, or ‘Idea: for Project X’ etc to the thread title. It annoys members to see lazily titled threads that appear to be projects on here - to open them - and only to find it is some lazy git just looking for a project, or wanting a link, or more info, or wanting someone else to make a project for them etc. Please do not make new threads for which there are project threads already in existence.
 

Let us also know if you see any errors or broken links… or if project threads / this Index requires updating. 👍

Also, if you have any suggestions for additional projects or threads to be added, please post them in here - thank you.

 

 

The Index Categories are…

 

0️⃣Looking to acquire projects on here? Then please read this…

 

1️⃣Finished Projects : with some ongoing WIPs (Work In Progress)
2️⃣Multiple / group project releases by OT•com members
3️⃣kk650’s Regraded Releases…

I’d forgot about the steel fiasco and him leaving the country during it (and likely more involving him too) - though do remember his problems explaining quantitative easing - and also when his figures didn’t add up whilst Secretary to The Treasury too. Doh!

Something about praising Israel too - yet still issuing licenses for weapons exports to Saudi Arabia whilst under a Judicial Review.

Tick tock for the new new Home Secretary…

BBC: Amber Rudd resigns as home secretary

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43944988

I was not expecting that. I thought the PM would have kept her on at all costs to use as human shield over the Windrush scandal. Then again, giving misleading official answers is about the worst crime a minister can commit.

Same here - I thought May would keep her to deflects blame away from herself, though as Barry Gardiner points out here…

‘If Amber Rudd has gone because of a memo to @theresa_may telling her about higher targets for enforced removals, then surely the Prime Minister also knew and should not have allowed parliament to be misled all last week.’ - https://twitter.com/BarryGardiner

maybe it won’t be too long before she’ll have to answer questions herself?

 

Rudd’s replacement, Sajid Javid, doesn’t exactly inspire confidence either (from when he was Communities Minister):-

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/uk-news/grenfell-tower-sajid-javid-cant-13194086

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/sajid-javid-grenfell-tower-fire-chief-scientist-housing-safety-communities-local-government-norman-a8019611.html

https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/revealed-sajid-javid-failed-to-spend-affordable-housing-cash-two-years-running_uk_5a98454de4b089ec35382c05

Had the misfortune to meet the man in person - an underwhelming man, and not a very good MP - even for his local constituents, let alone being in the Cabinet. Still hadn’t managed to re-home the survivors of Grenfell nearly a year on despite his promises and PR rhetoric - amongst other failures - and gets a promotion to Home Secretary for it (maybe May is keeping her enemies close?)

a few intriguing insights and observations - delivered in Mikey’s somewhat unique humour and non-serious style (and nice ageing on some of the TLJ clips in that 70’s style).

He also did a TFA video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVZGUV77aRg
