The blurb: ‘Host Jeff Goldsmith talks to creator, showrunner and writer Tony Gilroy and writer Dan Gilroy about their Emmy nominated TV show - Andor.’

The blurb: 'You watched Andor. You thought you got it. But couldn’t shake the feeling you missed things, we all did. I checked out all the other analysis out there and I was disappointed.

This human-written channel is dedicated to peeling back every layer of Andor. Scene by scene, moment by moment, to uncover what Tony Gilroy and his team really built. This isn’t a recap channel. It’s not about easter eggs. It’s about subtext, structure, power, politics, silence, rhythm, rebellion, and why every line matters.

The Upstairs Lounge is a place most people don’t even know exists, and to most of them, it’s closed.

But you’re in. Welcome.’

Yes, another very interesting aspect of the ever-evolving SW narrative back in the day - thanks for a fascinating read.
For me the biggest disappointment was making Leia the ‘sister/other hope’ - apart from making no sense generally, I felt it robbed her of her agency somewhat.
I do recall she got a shot at Vader in Splinter of the Mind’s Eye but I don’t remember if it was handled well.

I’m surprised SOTME hasn’t yet been been made into an animated form (a la Heir To The Empire) - or even being made into a ‘fan film’ - given the main focus on the three characters on a single setting.

One day, maybe…

I’m not sure I’d be brave enough to show the OT to somebody who has never seen it before and is maybe on the younger side. I couldn’t handle them saying that the films are boring and the special effects outdated lol.

Best show them the original theatrical cut - and none of the various Special Editions, then. 😉
 

It looks like the 30th Anniversary Anthology set will include a new fourth volume (out on the 21st November). 👍

Somehow, Mr Plinkett returned…

(with pizza rolls!)
 

Mr. Plinkett’s What Happened To Star Wars?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xeMak4RqJA - a 53 minute video from the Red Letter Media youtube channel.
 

The blurb: ‘Mr. Plinkett is back! And this time he’s here to quickly guide you through the last 15 years or so of Star Wars history from the Prequels, to everything that’s happened after the Disney acquisition. How can one universe contain Andor, The Acolyte, Baby Jedis, and Legos? I don’t know? Do you compartmentalize your Star Wars in your brain like a psychopath? Do you just watch Star Wars content that fits your particular taste in a Star War? How can we take the dark side seriously anymore? Is it all too much too quickly? If you keep shoving sh*t into a wet paper bag eventually it’ll burst. I guess only the world’s rich elite 1% will find out… Join Harry on one final adventure into Star Wars.’

Hey Noah / Master Lawdog, I’m very exited to discover your project as it’s been ages I didn’t listened to an HP audiobook.

Is it still available to listen ?

Kind regards

Hi I’d love to download these if you still have them. Thanks.

Hi, I’ve just joined and I’d also like to know this please!

Thanks

Why not simply send Master Lawdog a PM - as he clearly states in the opening post if his quality project thread?:-

If you’d like to hear these new audiobooks, send me a private message.

 
 
In general, simply sending a PM is the default way of asking for fan projects on here (unless indicated / instructed otherwise in the project thread)…

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

Please note that cluttering up the project threads with ‘link request’ posts is not only poor form - but is also against the rules & guidelines here - the reasons for which can be found below…

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

^ Not being able to send a PM because your account is new… is NOT a reason to make ‘link request’ posts on here.

Along with…

❕ Welcome to the OriginalTrilogy.com | Introduce yourself in here | Useful info within ❕ | About | Help | Announcements

❕ ‘How Do I Do This?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com; some info & answers + member FAQs ❕ | Site Rules | Fan Project Rules
 

Hopefully the project threads will soon get back to being discussions about the actual projects themselves - queries, feedback, reviews, exchange of ideas, suggestions for future versions etc - and not be full of endless & unnecessary ‘link request’ posts (which has led to a number of both fan project creators & contributing members leaving the community here in recent times).
 

Good luck with it. 👍

tough to pick just one but the final rescue of kleya in Andor S2 was very well constructed; so much anticipation and uncertainty in those hallways. also the prison break in S1… andor is by far the best star wars show

Those are are a couple of great calls, mate. Full agree on those hallway scenes - so much tension and a state of precariousness.

Seems like Andor and Visions is doing well in the ‘Best/Favourite Scenes’ so far…

I’d also add the introduction of General Grievous in the 2003 Clone Wars series (by Genndy Tartakovsky):-
 

General Grievous: The Perfect Evil Introduction (2003 Clone Wars)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=177oMdZkU9A - an 8 minute video from the Scendence youtube channel.
 

For me… it was a masterclass of a presentation for the latest ‘big villain’ of the dark side ranks in the GFFA. And with it Grievous had instantly become one of the most intriguing and engaging antagonists in the whole of Star Wars. Leaving us fans wanting to know so much more - and anticipation of what would happen next. And then ROTS happened…

Still, in the 2003 Clone Wars… he was fantastic; a truly menacing and compelling character.
 

I’ve been looking forward to reading this for a while - congratulations on finishing and publishing it, MsCthulhu. Thank you for returning and sharing it with us, too. 👍

“Rebel Preservationists” is a lovely term - I’m sure many here and in the other fan-communities will appreciate that!
 

These Trees Survived Hiroshima, Group Plants Their Seeds Worldwide to Preserve Their Memory

^ The Hiroshima Castle Eucalyptus, an atomic bomb survivor
 

a snippet…

'In Japan, an organization is planning how to help ensure the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings are remembered for thousands of years, rather than hundreds.

Its plan revolves around the hibakujumoku or the A-bomb-surviving trees of Hiroshima.

With the 80th anniversary of the bombings having just concluded, it’s worth taking a moment to learn about the trees that survived one of our nation’s darkest decisions.

The giant fireball that proceeded the detonation of the atom bomb, if it can believed, couldn’t wipe out all the trees in the blast zone. This eucalyptus tree, for example, was only half a mile from the epicenter.’
