‘Chapecoense plane crash: How the club is still defying the odds one year on’…

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42137506

Chapecoense will likely finish somewhere between 9th and 13th in the 20-team Brazil Serie A - with 1 league match remaining.

It’s a fantastic sporting achievement against the background of such loss and emotion - and will hopefully give some small solace or aid to the local community and those affected by the events of one year ago.

The Last Jedi has received a 12A rating in the UK (and passed uncut) - http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/star-wars-last-jedi-2017

That is superb - there’s some pretty cool artwork & illustrations on there, as well as some rare pictures - well worth a look.

Good luck with your project 😃

Very cool - I like those quite a bit, nice one 😃

If you’d like to post the pics up on here then you can try the following…

Does anyone have this style A poster without Luke and Leía? I have searched to no avail.

That superb quality cover was done by coov. It may be worth sending him a PM to see if he has a copy of the poster art still?

I am going to see the film on Dec 14 and I am not really sure why.

TFA was basically Market Research: The Movie.

This is shaping up to be Market Research Episode II: Revenge of the Focus Group.

But there is still a recognizable kernel of Star Wars in there and I think that is what compels me to show up.

That’s pretty funny. I’m really dreading seeing the purple-haired girl and the fat asian hipster looking girl in The Last Jedi. Star Wars is about escapism. It should not be about reminding you about the types of clowns that walks around in everyday life.

Terms like ‘fat asian hipster’ aren’t acceptable on this site.

Nor is ‘…the types of clowns that walks around in everyday life’ in the context in which you used it.

Consider this a warning.

If you have any questions or problems with this feel free to PM me.

Let’s leave the subject of Jim Smith’s post there - and get back to discussing Episode VIII, thank you.

007 is here! and he is after the GoldenEye…

For me, the ot.com is a little like Bespin in the Empire Strikes Back, we’re a small outfit that goes under the nose of the Empire re the releases that feature on here - we need to keep it that way (though no deals 😉)…

On that note, it doesn’t help when, well meaning but misguided individuals, promote the fan projects on another SW site, where, the response to these efforts has always been at best, tepid and members of that site, even go as far as expressing their unhappiness about this work being carried out without consent from Lucasfilm/Disney.

I’ve promoted Harmy’s work on other (non-SW) sites and told people how to get it. I’ve gotten many thank yous. I’m not sure what you’re talking about, frankly.

I think Jay may have been referring to those SW sites that, in the main, don’t particularly like us (this site) - or the work that takes place here.

I enjoy a good side-discussion as much as the next man, though this - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/The-Infamous-Stormtrooper-Aim-Explained-With-Science/id/12144/page/1 - or a similar thread, may be an idea to continue the ‘stormtrooper aiming’ conversation without hogging this cool artwork thread.

Besides, I want to see what the letter T will be us 😃

The mods are onto this mate - make no mistake, when the perpetrator is caught he’ll face the full wrath of…

I’m not very technical on issues like this mate (so hopefully someone else with far better knowledge than me will along to help you), though…
 

I find videohelp.com a big help for this type of thing mate - years ago they were a very useful resource for many of the laserdisc-based rips of the OT on here 😃

https://forum.videohelp.com/forums/47-Blu-ray-Ripping

https://www.videohelp.com/software/DVD-Audio-Extractor (it says for dvd - but should work for blu ray)

Handbrake is a free and simple to use program for ripping too - you can convert the file to mp3 quite easily 😃

More info here - http://www.techradar.com/news/the-best-free-dvd-ripper

Good luck with it mate 😃

Hey, where can I get the link for the 2.7 version?

The answer you seek is not behind you… it is above. I am no Jedi - but I know the ot.com. It moves through and surrounds every living thing. Close your eyes… feel it… The light… it’s always been there. It will guide you. The link. Take it.

or check the 1st post of the 1st page of this very thread - read through it - and you’ll find how to acquire what you are after.

Well, they cancelled and rescheduled for Dec. 12. Not the first time they’ve done this to me. I don’t think they’re very organized.

Don’t take it to heart mate - there are lots of genuine reasons why these things get postponed or pushed back, some of which are out of anyone’s control.

At least they let you know - a fair few companies I know wouldn’t have - and would’ve likely turned you away at the door - or via the receptionist.

Plus, it doesn’t hurt to keep your options open either.

No worries mate - you put it much better than I did 😃

I really don’t understand these type of posts which state stuff like this - without reason, explanation or context.

Why did you find the TFA to be ‘Market Research: The Movie’?

Why do you think TLJ is shaping up to be ‘Market Research 2: Revenge Of The Focus Group’?
 

Is it any more than other franchise films, or is it compared to other Star Wars films, or just these two films in particular?

I picked up the VHS season 1 set this morning. Great deal.

New stuff is still being released on VHS? What?

Not quite mate - though it’s in VHS style packaging - http://www.newsweek.com/stranger-things-vhs-dvd-packaging-685723

Best of luck mate.
