“George Lucas had the idea that all the planets of the Alderaan system were united under one government, with Alderaan serving as the capital.”

That’s a paraphrased bit of trivia I read somewhere, either in this forum or elsewhere. Does anyone recognize the source? I’m dying to find it again.

I think the Old Republic stuff had Alderaan as being a capital of sorts - or lead planet of it’s own system?

https://trello.com/c/d0glqi7g/14-planets-1 & http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=769288 - whether the idea came from George or was in a early draft or an idea he mentioned… I don’t know mate.

Han - Solo Movie ** Spoilers **
Time

Same here mate 😃

 

‘Solo’ BTS Video Shown During Today’s Disney Shareholders Meeting:-

'Disney conducted their 2018 Annual Shareholders Meeting today beginning at 11:00am ET and during the event attendees were treated to a special behind-the-scenes video from director Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. After the video segment finished playing, Disney CEO Bob Iger stated that we will be seeing Han Solo as an 18-year old in the film, presumably towards the start of the movie.

He also touched on the subject of the new Galaxy’s Edge theme park attractions that are currently under construction in Florida and California. While he didn’t reveal anything new about the parks, Iger did re-confirm to the audience that both parks are on schedule to open sometime in 2019.

Here’s hoping the Solo BTS reel is released in the very near future via the official Star Wars YouTube Channel for the rest of us to enjoy.’

‘How beloved is Mark Hamill? Throngs of fans take over Hollywood Blvd. to watch the Star Wars icon honored with a star on the Walk of Fame’ (with video in link above)

 

a video (from Variety’s youtube channel) of the event - with Harrison Ford and George Lucas:-

(there’s a touching and poignant moment between the two as Harrison closes his speech)

Are all these youtube critics making money off this sort of thing? If so, maybe we should start making our own TLJ sucks Bantha balls! type videos and fund the projects around here. 😛

So what you’re saying is…

That’s how we’re gonna win. Not fighting what we hate, saving what we love…

😉 😃

We certainly seem to have enough resolute folks to achieve this if the TLJ threads are anything to go by.
 

There you go lads & ladesses - $100k is the goal. Good luck. Let the hate flow through you… (and the click-bait too)
