The funny thing about that is one is that the original painting actually used a different picture of Leia to paint than the mock-up does… but it’s still from ESB. Makes me wonder if it was some sort of weird creative decision to have all 3 posters have images from the other films.

Aye, personally I think it’s an awful set of cover art when comparing to many of the quality previous releases - and also when comparing with some superb custom covers on here and other places.

Very windy here in the Midlands in the UK - but Ireland are really getting the worse of it…

Okay, cheers - and good luck with it 😃
 

If I may make a suggestion that may possibly help your post? I’d break up the text into paragraphs - or just have more gaps between sentences - it’s quite a lot to read and take in. Though no worries if not - everyone has their own style 😃

LordZerome1080 - you’ve seemingly posted the same thread in two sections of the site (here, and in the Script Writing and Re-writing section) - please pick a thread to keep and let me know, the other will be deleted. Thank you.

Please don’t quote a long post of pictures unless you have something to comment on about each individual picture.

Quoting a long post of pics and then putting a short generic sentence at the end really isn’t on - nor is quoting a long post of pics and then only commenting on one picture.

Thank you.

When Vader’s shuttle is landing in the second DS there is a scaffolding struture on the left side of it, but then in the next close up shot of the shuttle it’s no longer there.

When R2 plays Luke’s holographic message to Jabba, Luke’s lightsaber is shown clipped to the right side of his body. Then before the message ends a brief shot of Luke’s hologram is visible showing his lightsaber clipped to the left side of his body indicating that in all previous shots of Luke before the one with the message ending, Luke’s holographic image was flipped.


NOTE: In the film Luke keeps his lightsaber clipped to the left side of his body (this is also true in TESB).

During R2’s holographic message of Luke to Jabba, in the shot showing Jabba and Bib Fortuna then panning down to Salacious Crumb the smoke coming from Jabba’s pipe is going inward and the bubbles in the bong are flowing downward indicating that this shot was played in reverse.

In the scene when “Leia” pulls out the thermal detonator in front of Jabba, the shots showing Boba Fett during this are flipped due to his helmets antenna being on the left side.

On Jabba’s sail barge when Luke is shot on his mechanical hand by a blaster the injury from the shot is already visible on his hand before he’s even shot and when he is shot he’s actually shot on the sleeve.

good catch.i never see this.
more please… 😃

The point is you don’t need to quote a mile-long post just to say one thing about it.

i could make it longer…😉

Mate, I suggest you don’t 😃

I’d ask you please go back and remove the block of pics you quoted too - there is really no need to quote all those pics just to post one generic sentence - on the same page.

Thanks.

Just to be a werdio so can I.

A werdio indeed 😉

I’ve noticed the price of the official Star Wars USB Drives (in the shape of the characters) have dropped recently…

http://www.ebay.com/bhp/star-wars-usb

https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=star+wars+usb
 

It seems that a 16gb USB drive in the shape of Vader, Yoda, R2, BB8, Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, Maul and all - go for around $10 - new with free delivery, a 32gb version for a couple of $'s more, and a 64gb version for around $20…

They look quite fun & decent on the shelf next to the vhs, dvd, bluray cases and other Star Wars releases etc - also serving as a back-up device too - and obviously they don’t require any boxes, cases or printing of ink at all…
 

just a few examples…

Oh dang, so it’s really the special edition? Dang. I did want them but now I won’t have the OOT until I order again.

I find this site is a very good resource for identifying various releases down the years:-

http://www.swonvideo.com/

(it’s also run by our very own Video Collector)

and fellow posters on here should be able to help with any questions you may have about sets you may be interested in (as to whether it is a OOT or a ‘Special Edition’ release etc).

If you would like to be shaved you can be shaved mate - in the Great Republic Of The Land Of The Giants all types and choices of mammalian skin organs are equal and welcome.

(to clarify - you can shave yourself - we aren’t doing it; we’ve better things do be doing - being tall and all 😉)

Finally, a world where ‘one size fits all’ will not be a lie 😃

Full page ad in the Washington Post today. Strange times.

If Trump sees that too it’ll be an interesting race to see who gets the $10m first 😉

(Trump may be first - though he’ll likely be that inept he’ll mess it up and then you’ll get the dosh - good luck Comrade yhwx!

Unless this is a ruse to get yhwx and the general public hooked on ‘reading’ Hustler magazines as ‘research’…)

Me too - though I eventually twigged that flametitan was referring to the TLJ trailer - though I spent a good 10 minutes examining the sig for a hidden disclaimer beforehand 😃

(it’s been a slow night for this old head 😉)

flametitan makes a decent point that there may may be additional cautions for channels (ie, Disney XD) that TLJ is being advertised on that the film itself may not be fully suitable for it’s younger audiences.

It’ll be interesting to see how the MPAA and BBFC etc rates TLJ.

I really hope that photobucket re-thinks it’s policy on barring 3rd part image sharing (unless you pay £££/$$$s) - not only for the many, many covers, art, and pics etc shared on here and other sites over the years - but also that it will likely serve to push away many of it’s users to other image sharing sites - and could/has damaged it’s brand and the photobucket site itself…

(…though they may have already achieved this by the sheer amount of adverts that pop up when logging in to the site - or trying to view a pic based on there)

That “dead” trooper helmet in the upper corner is a bit disturbing.

Same here - though this may give a little more context… 😃

Apparently, people are still angry about the “War on Christmas.”

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/13/politics/trump-values-voters-summit/index.html

President Donald Trump dove into America’s culture wars on Friday, touting his administration for “returning moral clarity to our view of the world” and ending “attacks on Judeo-Christian values.”

Trump, nine months into his presidency, has found it harder to get things done than the ease with which he made promises on the campaign trail, making speeches to adoring audiences like Friday’s in Washington key to boosting the President’s morale. And the audience at the Values Voter Summit, an annual socially conservative conference, didn’t fail to deliver.

“We are stopping cold the attacks on Judeo-Christian values,” Trump said to applause, before slamming people who don’t say “Merry Christmas.”

“They don’t use the word Christmas because it is not politically correct,” Trump said, complaining that department stores will use red and Christmas decorations but say “Happy New Year.” “We’re saying Merry Christmas again.”

The comment drew thunderous applause.

Heated debates over the “War On Christmas” have raged for years, with many on the right complaining that political correctness has made it less acceptable to say Merry Christmas. Trump has seized on these feelings, regularly telling primarily religious audiences that his presidency has made it acceptable to “start saying Merry Christmas again.”

“You go into a department store. When was the last time you saw ‘Merry Christmas?’ You don’t see it anymore,” Trump said on the campaign trail. “They want to be politically correct. If I’m president, you will see ‘Merry Christmas’ in department stores, believe me, believe me.”

Wishing everyone a very Happy Holiday season!

😃

4th reply down on that tweet… ‘Happy Holiday? Why does Donald Trump hate Christmas?’

I can only echo what Rogue-theX said above - really nice work NeverarGreat 😃

😃

Hope you do well in your sweater competition - and nice of your company to do things like this for it’s workers 😃
 

I think the A-Wings first appeared in ROTJ - though wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been retroactively fitted into a later ‘Special Edition’ of Empire Strikes Back - or the animated tv series since etc.
 

This is my only ever SW t-shirt:-

I do have another Rogue One t-shirt - but it’s a little too big for me - so I’m waiting to grow into it as I age (eating more and exercising less 😉)

Did the ot.com ever do t-shirts and other merchandise? I remember years ago there was some talk of it? (though may be thinking of another site?)

I’d say that is an A-Wing mate:-

^ really cool t-shirt by the way 😃

and the Christmas jumper looks to have a Space Invaders thing going no from that pic - 😄

Anyone want any scans of the DC material?

Sweet, sweet finds mate 😃

I love those old ‘Widescreen Collectors Edition’ laserdisc boxsets - very classy.

What was your signature pic before photobucket turned to the dark side and started blocking 3rd party image sharing mate?

(Or is that pic your chosen sig?)
