Cobra Kai

Can you contact Mike to see if he has any news on Legacy I’m dying to one day see Legacy on signs in a theatrical rerelease in cinemas.

I don’t know Mike personally, and for whatever reason he no longer discusses the project or answers questions about it online. Before last December, Mike was fairly responsive and usually replied to direct questions, but I’ve seen numerous people ask for updates since then on the legacy site, twitter, vimeo, etc, and he simply ignores them.

To paraphrase Spock from The Wrath of Khan:
“There are two possibilities. Mike is unable to respond. Mike is unwilling to respond”.

Maybe he’s been told to stay silent about it from Disney cause they accepted it and are releasing soon after they possibly buy fox they may rerelease it in cimemas and on blu ray at one point who knows?

But anything is possible…
😀😀😀😀

Indeed, which IF this is the case for which you believe, then you’ll understand why he won’t be telling you (or anyone else) - so you really don’t need his email address or contact info, so why ask for it?

In fact, if you’d read the last few pages of this thread you would have likely understood this already.

Or just gone to http://www.starwarslegacy.com and found the contact info you sought earlier for yourself…

I think the last 10 minutes of Rogue One (minus the last minute) are some of the most rewatchable Star Wars yet.

Yeah 'cause it’s fun but I guess it’s a strong issue that the audience is cheering at Vader slaughtering people… (I like the scene but it’s dumb in the context of this movie; aren’t we supposed to feel empathy for the rebels ?!?).

The audience is cheering at Vader slaughtering the Rebels? Really? I thought the scene was more of helplessness for the Rebels - despite knowing what was likely going to happen to them they carried on and did the best they could - to the last - to fight for what they believed in… and in the hope they could get those plans away…

so glad i have my own opinion of Rogue One to rely on and not you guy’s.

Or just sit back and enjoy the games - Summer will be here, beers in the fridge, and footy on the telly 😃

Turned out to be a cracking & enjoyable tournament…

I’ll be likely routing for Iceland - fantastic achievements in footy of late, and superb rapport / togetherness with their supporters too. They are also the smallest nation to ever make it to a World Cup Finals. You?

Max Clifford has died at the age of 74.

It’s been disgusting how the new’s channels here have been virtually paying tribute to this asshole. quoting people saying what an amazing, nice, family man he was and brushing over why he was in prison in the first place. Hope he rots in hell.

The power of PR mate - often his brand of PR - disgusting.

Shows up some of the media for what they are too.

This news story has nothing to do with anything but it made me chuckle.

For those too lazy to click the link:

The cold weather failed to deter one man in Bury St Edmunds who was seen just wearing the briefest of underpants and Wellington boots.

He was spotted walking past shops in the west of the town where there is a Tesco Express and various other shops.

He turned the head of one onlooker who seemed dumbstruck on what she saw walking past her.

Julie Wiseman, who owns a hair salon, said he was seen at 10.45am yesterday.

“He was wearing a little leaf print combat thong with wellie boots and he walked up Horsecroft Road. One of the girls was cutting a gentleman’s hair when she said ‘There’s a man just gone past wearing next to nothing.’

“He apparently went into the Tesco Express for a bottle of orange juice and one of the girls in there apparentley asked him if she could get him some clothes but he said ‘No, I am fine I have just been for a run.’

“We think it was the same person who was seen doing this last year.”

Ha 😃

Always amuses me when you see footy fans at the game with their tops off in freezing conditions - just why? What are they trying to do? 😃

I’d google topless football fans and post an image - though I’m fairly sure what I’m looking for wouldn’t come up in the first few pages of searches.
 

and those streakers who go invade the pitch at sporting events in the cold - if you’ve had one too many or lost a bet then fine - but at least do it in the summer or when it’s warm! In the cold it is not great…

What could they possibly do to him? Force him to watch the Holiday Special? 😉

😃

I’m surprised no-one has done a Fan Edit of the Holiday Special - adding in such loved characters from The Prequel Trilogy like JarJar, Dexter, Grievous, Anakin etc, and include some sabre-twirling & high ground…

(though that could be a punishment too far 😉)

Really looking forward to seeing this v2 - and will seed the 8gb version for as long as I can.
 

Although obviously not seen this just yet - I’d just like to say a massive ‘thank you’ to all involved - you can certainly see all the hard work, time, energy and the many decisions that have gone into this - just from this thread alone - nice one 😃)

ray_afraid said:

There were thirteen posts here just yesterday!
But all the recent posts are "Just saw some spoilers, but I won’t share em here!"
It’s weird. I have no other source for this kinda thing and this is a handy place to read about it. But now it’s “Oh I don’t wanna drop this massive spoiler in the SPOILER THREAD.”

Some of them may have leaks rather than spoilers - leaks which included the actual plot and events from the film not officially released as yet.

A place to read up on the recent various online leaks mate (WARNING - these are LEAKS from the film itself - including the PLOT of TLJ), is https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsLeaks/

and also various people’s twitter, facebook, imgur and other social media feeds etc - some people are posting stuff and intentionally ruining/spoiling the plot and events from TLJ - for everyone.
 

I suppose near-on everyone has a different level to what is acceptable for them as a ‘spoiler’ or a ‘leak’ - some will run out of the room if they see a tv advert, some won’t walk down the aisle of a shop with TLJ toys in that aisle, others will be ok with everything out there officially released up to the point of seeing the film itself, and others will be ok with the recent leaked online content (& TLJ plot) and anything else still to leak.

If I were younger (and the missus would let me 😉) that’d be up on the wall somewhere!

His Obi-Wan is pretty cool too…

I reckon this and the earlier one belong in the awesome art thread! 😃

You’re probably very much correct on that mate 😃

As well as the TLJ Visual Dictionary and TLJ Soundtrack Titles leaking online in the past day or two…

There are now more leaks online - this time from some TLJ childrens’ books that were accidentally sold to the public well before the official sale date - these books do contain photographs from film scenes and text explaining them - as well as the plot of TLJ itself.

Be careful other there if you’re trying to stay clear of spoilers etc…
