I’d really like a grey originaltrilogy.com t-shirt or polo shirt with the old logo (the one in my sig)…
a 5 second knock-up job using the easy and free to use http://shirtmockup.com/
One I did earlier…
(or just with the originaltrilogy.com logo on - probably would be better)
I only ever moderate wearing the full uniform (with spare ban-hammer on charge) - and Flash theme playing in the background…
It is not easy to clean I tell you…
😃
If you’re watching it on vlc media player…
Play the film, then click on the ‘Audio’ icon, then go into ‘Audio Track’ and select a different language - that should do the trick.
The same should apply for other similar software video players too.
I hope it works for you.
I’m not picking on him. I’m explaining his rationale for jumping on people who place TLJ below movies he hates.
chyron - please leave this alone.
Frink can speak for himself and explain his rationale when he returns - he doesn’t need others to do it for him.

What does him saying the n-word have to do with anything lol
Given the lad’s history why shouldn’t it be said his opinion may not hold much weight?
Also in the context of ‘I’m not that big of a Star Wars fan’ too.
‘lol’? Really?
I’m not arguing his opinion isn’t absolutely worthless. I’m just asking why would him saying the n-word make his opinion more worthless? One of my best friends is racist towards hispanic people, but I’m not going to start throwing his opinions out the door on other matters regardless of how stupid his feelings are on one matter.
Did you click on the links and read them? Likely not - as if you did you’d realise it’s not just ‘the n-word’, is it? And also what the gist of the Guardian article is about too, yes?
And I didn’t say anything about using ‘the n-word’ making his opinion more worthless. You seemingly assumed that.
Also, again, in the context of ‘I’m not that big of a Star Wars fan’ too.
Anyway, back on topic…
As a person who watches pewdiepie from time to time (I’m so sorry), I have seen the “controversial videos”. . His first controversy consisted of “news” cherry picking jokes, taking them out of context and editing them in such a way that it made him look back. The original videos were fine, no racism there.
His second controversy was that he shouted “oh what a f_____g n____r” at a bot (not at a person, but a video game character), he quickly changed it to “oh what an a_____e”. When he realized what he said he started to apologize then he started to laugh with an “oh shit I hope nobody noticed that” look.
It was stupid, childish and absolutely wrong, but his explanation made perfect sense - he wanted to be offensive for comedic purposes, so he said the first offensive word which came to his mind. Why was THAT word the first which came to his mind, that’s the a good question though.
Thanks for that.
So he’s a thoughtless person who uses racist language who also makes antisemitic jokes, who wants to be offensive for comedic purposes. He’s also not a ‘… big of a Star Wars fan’.
For the last time… back on topic.

When I told him about Han’s shirt in carbonite being fixed, this is what he said:
"Who cares about his stupid shirt?! How deranged do you have to be to care about or even notice that? Little girls are having their clitorises ripped off by religious zealots, and some nerd wants to fix Han Solo’s shirt?! There are VASTLY more important things in the world than this stupid nonsense. These nerds aren’t even creating art. They’re just saying to REAL artists, “Your stuff wasn’t good enough. Here, I’ll fix it.”
Your friend capitalised his speech? A neat trick.
Did you tell your friend that you spend the majority of your time on a site continually asking questions, in often an acerbic manner, of a person who gives up considerable time, effort, and money on something out of his love, respect and appreciation for it?
What did your friend say to this?
Hopefully the pair of you are on your way to right the world’s wrongs. If you put half the effort into questioning the authorities & politicians why they don’t do more in combating religious zealots to protect little girls, as you do to Adywan, I am fairly certain they’ll take some sort of action.
Have some time off from here to help focus these efforts.
When you come back I hope you have a more worldly & compassionate view - and will understand that repeatedly harassing and denigrating others isn’t on (even after being warned not to do so).
Jedi Master Skywalker is not JMOW - I strongly suggest you stop with inferring he is - or questioning him to his identity.
It is harassment and an attack on a fellow member of the site.

Thank you finally all that stress has gone now
If it happens again please let a moderator know, mate.
Members have previously been asked to stop with the accusations that you may be someone else (or to just inform a moderator of their suspicions) - I don’t know why they still carried this on in public.
Seriously?
This is becoming just a thread to take the mick out of current fellow members?

Some of your posts are going to be edited or removed.
Any questions or problems let me know via PM.
The thread is now locked.
For those who are conflicted over TLJ, I recommend playing the game Kotor2 (with the restoration mods of course). The latter shows you how to challenge and subvert Star Wars while still being respectful of the source material. Just an awesome game/experience.
I hope the moderators are okay with me posting this here.
Sure thing mate.
Thread unlocked.
hi im new here and im hoping someone can point me in the direction of the cover art work for the despecialized editions, i hope this doesnt breach any rules,thanks in advance
Hi and welcome to the site.
There is a ‘DVD Covers, Disc Labels, and Other Fan Artwork’ section of the site, here:-
http://originaltrilogy.com/discussion/DVD-Covers-Disc-Labels-and-Other-Fan-Artwork/id/20
in which you’ll find various cover sets for the Despecialized Editions (as well as other releases) - and there is also an Index Thread at the top of that section - linking to a fair few of the differing cover sets.
There are also links to Harmy’s Despecialized threads - which also contain cover art too.
Please take the time to have a look around the site - hopefully you’ll find more things of interest…
Good luck 😃

Is this the video doing the rounds with Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt playing in the background? With selective and differing interviews edited together out of context - along with some classic OT footage - in a bid to portray Mark Hammill as against the new films?
If so, I’ll pass.
Nandi - you could have posted this in one of the TLJ spoiler threads mate - it didn’t really need a new thread for just this.

^ Saying near-on anything in an opinion-piece to drive traffic to it is still a thing then. A 23 year old lad with a title of ‘The Last Jedi Forces Old Fans to Abandon Ship’… saying that he ‘got it’ then demonstrates that he seemingly didn’t.
I don’t get this sort of response. I don’t get the praise for this film, but I would never claim that someone who loves this film and gushes over it doesn’t get it. So, he’s angry, and he vents his frustration. He’s also extremely polite, and respectful in his responses to those that disagree with him as is seen in the responses to his article.
Many writers who do ‘click-bait titles and pieces’ like this seemingly do the same (more explanation or rationale in conversations in comments) - it is a part of generating more fans, appealing to a wider base, and driving more clicks for the next article (as well as using it as a learning tool to what works and doesn’t - nothing wrong with that).
How does the article reflect the title - where it is that TLJ has forced ‘old fans to abandon ship’? Are the new fans ok with it? Younger fans? Is he the old fan? As stated, likely not at 23. Did he mean fans of the old films? Well, if so - he could made that a little clearer - though we are talking about a click-bait article, so maybe it is in his interests not to?
There is very little balance in that article - if the author took a step back from his anger (be careful where that leads 😉) and his bold type and capitalisation when trying and make a point, then maybe he’d have likely answered many of those questions/issues himself.
Is there balance in article that praises this film to high heaven? He’s very critical of the film, and is very straightforward about it, but this doesn’t make any of his personal feelings any more or less valid than anyone else’s opinion.
I don’t value many articles highly that didn’t have some balance or recourse therein - whether positive or negative, yet that’s just me, and my own opinion.
I feel that article actually somehow invalidated some of the genuine criticisms of the film. It read like a bad reddit review. Eurgh.
There has do be better articles out there that genuinely address and note the concerns for many of those what didn’t like TLJ?
Well, that’s the way it works apparently. An emotional article stirs up similar emotions in someone who disagrees, who subsequently more or less dismisses the article off hand, who stirs up emotions in this critical user, who then replies emotionally, which then might lead to another emotional response, which then leads to a moderator…o damn!
I’ve read the article before (yesterday - I think, it was posted on here or another site I visit and felt the same then). I gave the writer’s previous article on TPART a read and thought it a lot better reasoned and thought-out than his TLJ piece - though yet again, just my personal opinion.
I understand your POV. It’s sort of funny, that if a movie disappoints especially one like this, where you sort of feel like you’ve reached a dead end after some 35 years of fandom, you get some strange emotions flowing through your body. I really expected to love this film. I really liked TFA, although I sympathized with many of the criticisms. I grew up with the OT, went to see the 1997 SE in the theatre, went to see each of the prequels, and even though I liked them less and less over time (now considering them a mix of good concepts ruined by horrible execution), I enjoyed each of them when I first saw them in the theatre. This is the first time, that I left the theatre after watching a Star Wars film, feeling empty and not really understanding what just happened. I never had the experience of not wanting to see what happens next, and boy does it suck! So, like many fans who ate up the Plinkett reviews of the prequels, you go looking for articles and videos created by people who are able to better express how you feel. I guess this is one of those articles for me. It’s not balanced, but it serves a purpose, at least to me. Sometimes our opinions aren’t balanced, and I don’t really see why they need to be. It doesn’t mean you don’t respect another point of view. In the end all these reviews are rationalisations of our feelings toward this particular film. If you feel strongly about it in either a positive or negative way, I don’t see the harm in an article reflecting those feelings as long as it isn’t offensive.
Fair play to you - I struggle with articles too one-sided (even on topics I agree on or with), it’s sort of a reticence to be in echo chamber environment - that likely stems from being in and around a footballing / tribal environment (of which there are far too many click-bait type articles for my liking - and too much media coverage overall).
I’m not too dis-similar to yourself re TLJ - though I did enjoy it on the whole, there are a few issues (and I hope further viewings will likely enable me to process them - and also the film overall). Like you I didn’t have that expected buoyant feeling on leaving the cinema - though did have a smile, lot of questions, and some differing emotions.
I hope your next trip to the cinema to see a Star Wars film brings you that good feeling back mate.

There can be no reasoning with people who waited two years for Luke Skywalker to show up only to be a comic relief throwing away his fathers lightsaber. People laughing at that joke will buy anything and defend anyting star wars.
Good to see people keep an open on mind on these things - and not generalise about people who may not necessarily share the same view…

I really hope they make a book trilogy about Luke rebuilding the Jedi, and another trilogy later on down the line expanding how it was destroyed.
I’d be interested in that if they did - maybe not two whole trilogies, but certainly a couple of books on it 😃
