Racism is bad, mmmkay?

J0E - are you the lad that used a character’s ethnicity and size to try and denigrate them in one of the TLJ threads last year? And referred to another character as being a lesbian as you couldn’t be bothered to learn her name too? As the film didn’t make you care enough to learn them? - Though seemingly did make you care enough for you to criticize the characters in such a derogatory manner?

If so, I’m glad you’ve learnt that racism is bad. Good for you.

Galata Tower 3D Light Show in Istanbul, Turkey

I’m not sure if there is a cover for it, though the Edit does have it’s own thread here:-

https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Rogue-One-The-Battle-of-Scarif-Fanedit/id/54567/page/1

It may also be worth PM’ing eldusto84 to see if there is a cover - or at his site, here:-

http://www.maple-films.com/rogue-one-fanedit

There are some generic Rogue One covers (and art) in here:-

https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Rogue-One-A-Star-Wars-Story-film-and-fan-art-covers-etc/id/50710

^ maybe some that take your eye could be adapted as a cover for eldusto’s quality R1 Edit?
 

Good luck with it mate 😃

A bit disappointed it didn’t come with a super laser (bloody Q!) - though am still pleased with it overall 😉

SPOILERS for S2xE07…

Great to see Anthony Hopkins returning - and really moving the story on somewhat too. Some quality explanations - really set it up for the final 3 episodes of the season… (which has flown by) Seems we may get a bit more of Ghost Nation too…

SPOILERS for S2xE08…

Wow - what a beautiful episode, a character-driven story and it’s focus over the time at the park, his interactions, the transitions, the play on emotions, and a superb performance from Zahn McClarnon as Akecheta. The piano arrangement of Heart Shaped Box for part of Akecheta’s journey was quality too. Well worth a re-watch, that.

^ Hadn’t realised it was that expensive - like yourself, given the online content and new games I’d give it some thought if it were available around half that price.

Hopefully there’ll be some more info on the N64 Classic soon…

Personally, I kinda like it - and results in the member reading/scanning through a bit of the OP’s post before getting to the navigation bar (which on the whole is a good thing).

It’s a bit of a pain for lengthy posts such as per dahmage’s example - yet nothing a few decent hits of the ‘Page Down’ button doesn’t rectify.

Turd? Shocking language.

…I’d expect something a lot stronger considering this place being dedicated to undoing his juvenile vandalised version of a film series.

dude, your sole purpose here seems to be spreading hatred. why’s that?

I strongly suggest you don’t repeat that again - and consider this a warning.

Unpopular opinion: Despite his unreasonable 0/10 ranking of Rogue One, I find Mala’s opinions to be interesting and fun to read.

I give it 2/10 now ! (don’t ask me why… maybe because I feel no SW should deserve 0… and I like the soundtrack, the visual, and even if it doesn’t make much sense at a story level, the Vader’s big scene is brillant).

Rogue One’s story doesn’t make much sense?!! WHAT THE FUCK! I’m gonna have to leave this forum because of the goddamn stupidity that you assholes spew from your shit-holes!!

So now that Solo is out, is there anything from it that may influence this edit?

Just watching ESBR at the moment and it does irk me a little that Leia said his name like Lando always does not to mention Threepio on one occasion. Maybe an audio snippet of how she normally pronounces his name should have been spliced over her odd pronunciation…

P.S. - is it still too early for spoilers?

Yes - far too early mate.

No spoilers in here, or anywhere outside the 3 ‘Solo spoiler threads’, linked to here:-

Thanks.

I love the arrangement / more guitar-driven focus - a quality alternative to the original from Electronic (of which Marr was a member and also wrote this); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSfjtdnUsls

Where can I find sources of information on the film crew who worked on the Original Trilogy films?

 
The above thread may be of some interest for this - and also contains links to many other resources of information on many of the talented people and crews who worked on the three original landmark and groundbreaking films…

I do think the lightsaber was gratuitous. It would be like Boba Fett firing up his jetpack for no reason.

Same here - I think it may be there for the more ‘casual viewer’, who may not have initially recognised Maul without him lighting up that red sabre? (maybe that was the intention of having him use the force to bring the sabre to hand and then light it up?)
 

I imagine it may be something some of the talented fan editors on here will consider to edit out.

Mega have quietly made some changes to the amount of storage space for new members.

New members can still obtain 50gb of free storage - though will basically be limited to 15gb of space early on - and have to go through an ‘Achievements’ system to get the full 50gb. These ‘Achievements’ are only temporary and not feasibly repeatable to maintain 50gb of storage.

If you already have a Mega account then there will be no change to the 50gb of free storage you currently receive.
 

Some information on the changes:-

Kudos and respect to solkap for the heads-up and links to these changes for Mega.

Ok, I’m with you on mimes, (except for Bowie) but what did ventriloquists ever do to you?

Scared me with their unnecessarily scary dummies! (and you never know what they get up to when the ventriloquists aren’t around - irresponsible parenting, that mate 😉)

I much prefer the Muppet versions - rather than the old wooden dummies…

I’m almost at the point where I will have no use for the community at all. I hope that guy gets paid by the word.

I’m not even sure that guy is part of the community. He seems to be writing about film in general, but I share his view, that Star Wars has become a franchise, that doesn’t go forward, because it’s obsessed with looking in the rearview mirror.

Funny, I thought TLJ moved to new territory and broke the pattern. And Solo should be fun, not epicly serious.

I disagree. An Empire vs rebels/new hope vs fallen Jedi apprentice replay is not my interpretation of breaking new ground. TLJ’s calculated story twists don’t alter the fact, that it still shares a lot of narrative and visual similarities with TESB and ROTJ. It’s less derivative than TFA, but the fact that TLJ is seen by many as moving to new territory, imo proves that Star Wars has become so limited in scope, that the slightest deviation from the mold is now seen as visionary, and creative.

I seriously wonder if we will ever get a Star Wars film, that isn’t in some way a remix of Lucas’ greatest hits. What’s wrong with just telling a story about a new smuggler type character (or any other new character for that matter) set in the Star Wars universe, where we don’t know where all the characters end up? How about getting people to view your film simply on the merit of telling a good original story with good original characters, rather than relying on the classic characters, story tropes, nostalgia, and fan service to draw people in for another deja vu experience.

I actually really agree with you here. TLJ does take more risks than TFA, but it also could have taken some real chances that would have really shaken up the SW universe.

Firstly, after TFA, with Starkiller base destroyed, and the Republic gone, there was a vacuum of power that could be explored by Johnson in whatever way he saw fit. JJ gets a lot of criticism for writing RJ into a corner but the political situation was wide open. Johnson could have literally gone any direction with the overall story but instead went in such a boring and safe direction. The First Order now just rules over basically the entire galaxy, the Resistance is small and on the run the entire movie, and RJ basically just doubled down on the Rebels.V.Empire concept.

Secondly, RJ still had a second chance to really turn the story around with Kylo and Rey. Imagine if Rey accepted Kylo’s call to join him? Both the light side user and dark side user in the sequel trilogy, truly joining forces to eradicate what came before and start something entirely new?

Overall, RJ took a few risks but didn’t go nearly far enough to get away from remixing elements of other SW movies. I will admit that killing off Snoke was a great surprise and a really good decision by RJ that did something new with Star Wars.

I thought I was the Solo thread for a while - yet no, of course members here have no other threads to discuss TLJ/TFA and the choices of the respective directors & writers in.

You must be fun at parties.

Solo was fine, I didn’t feel angry or embarrassed at any scene except perhaps when Han got his last name.

You must be going to the wrong parties 😉

A lot of the comments on TLJ and TFA in here have already been made - repeatedly in the other… TLJ and TFA threads, some just 6 months ago. They proved quite polarising, and on occasion toxic - so, as this film has nowt to do with those films let’s keep that fresh circle of hell out of here - and maybe y’know… talk about Solo.

There are plenty of other threads for those that wish to talk TFA/TLJ and the current perceived failings/faults of directors/writers/Kennedy/Lucas/management/R1 and politics/agendas therein of those films etc (and for general or positive thoughts too).
