Derry Girls - a Channel 4 comedy set in the early 1990s during the Troubles, on the personal exploits of a teenage girl, her family and friends…

Two episodes in and some good humour and promise about the show. Hope it continues 😃

 

Looking forward to seeing Season 2 of The Handmaid’s Tale (starts 25th April - trailer).

Westworld season 2 in April as well.

We don’t need to have everything explained by the film. There are other non-film sources with which to draw on for relevant information to people who would care.

Those other sources aren’t canon.

Actually, yeah, they are. Unless they were published before the Legends EU rebranding.

I am pretty sure the novels are not canon. If they are, explain the differences between the novels and the movies.

The novels are canon - http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Canon#2014_reboot

well dialogue in the novelizations of the movies better match with the movies word for word or you’ve inconsistency. If the dialogue differs what did the character say, what is written in the book or what is said in the movie?

example ROTJ

in the book the Emperor says “Your puerile skills are no match for the power of the dark side”

in the movie the Emperor says “You feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side”

yet both sources are canon. So which did the emperor say?

I don’t care mate - perhaps you should address your questions on ‘dialogue differences’ to those in power that decide on these things - for an answer?

If the powers that be say the novels are canon they are canon.

‘Japan Moviegoers can see The Last Jedi in 4DX with either Light Side or Dark Side special effects’…

http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/star-wars-last-jedi-4dx-light-dark-side-special-effects

I saw TLJ in 4DX. Great experience. Pity they didn’t have those options over here though.

I completely forgot there is a 4DX screen at a Cineworld near me - and still 2 days left showing TLJ 😃

Going to give it go - though definitely a shame no light/dark side effect 😃

If you go, make sure you get one of the seats on the end of the row of 4. Much better movement than the middle two.

Nice one, ta mate.

(you broke the middle two seats a little? 😉)

Something like this, I threw this together quick. I think it should have a U-wing shadow looking down at the beach and water.

Looks good that mate 😃

Das Imperium schlägt zurück - Despecialized Edition 2.1 (German) (Released)

a request for some assistance with Despecialized from Harmy…

 

Harmy said:

Guys - I could use some help - I remember some time ago, someone was working on a shotlist for the SW movies and I can’t find it. But what I’d really need is someone helping me catalogue all the shots that need despecializing and making a system that will make it easier for me to keep track of the shots and what they need done.
My idea is this table, where I could keep track of the progress on all the shots:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NwFnvrRp3CnyDOdr9W1__8PLBGwH8WOKkl8mjke8LQs/edit?usp=sharing

So, would I find volunteers, who would help me by going through Doubleofive’s galleries and putting all the shots down in this table and looking them up in GOUT and BD and putting in the timecodes?

When this is done and I start working on v3.0, the plan is to keep the table public, so you guys can check on my progress and every once in a while, when all shots in a sequence have status Pending Final, I want to post the sequence as a work-print and only after I get positive feedback on it, I will mark the shots as final.

This will make you guys more involved again, like in the old times, and it should help keep me more motivated. 😃

 

Please send him a PM if you can help…
