Thanks Warbler - really enjoyed watching your games vs Handman and darth_ender, it actually got me interested in having a game again (I think the last time I played was in a tournament on the ot.com many years ago).

 

Oh yes, I remember that tournament. I think I finished about third.

darth_ender - let me know when you’d like to start mate - and if you prefer to play as white or black? 😃

(If ok with you I may post up a pic of the board from time to time? - there were some instances in the previous games I wasn’t too sure of the moves listed correlating to the board - though that could be lack of coffee and the late hour!)

Good luck to the both of you!

T’was a good tournament if I remember correctly. Someone called Skipper won?

Thank you, Warbler 😃

No worries at all mate.

I’m honestly confused as to why there’s even a DVD-only release these days.

I suppose the price difference? (here in the UK if a bluray is £15, then the dvd is usually around £10) - and some people aren’t too bothered about the greater picture quality and detail etc (as Silverwook says) - they just want to watch the film.

Be interesting to see a comparison on bluray to dvd sales though. And the effect on them due to increasing number of movie channels, rentals, streaming, digital downloads, many people having less money - and dodgy torrents etc.

I’ll likely buy Rogue One on dvd (even with the appalling cover 😉), and then rip it to the hard drive and watch it through the chromecast on tv - it doesn’t take up too much drive space, and I’ll have back up just in case the disc goes awry.

Wow, that one truly is awful. Bodhi is floating, Jyn’s legs just look wrong, Chirrut looks to big, K2 isn’t casting a shadow.

Someone on twitter pointed out that there is an AT-AT on that dvd cover too - and not an AT-ACT, which was actually in the film.

Red lasers on TIE Fighters?

It’s the same poster used to promote the Chinese (?) cinema release for back in early January - albeit with a different Jyn Erso head - and they still haven’t fixed the TIE’s firing red lasers…

^ that dvd cover looks awful - it looks like one I’d knock up!

That is a pretty nifty, or top, idea. Plus that Rogue 1 cover is awesome…I am going to have to download that one, great work brother.

Cheers mate 😃

There are 4 Rogue One covers (3 with differing backs - I couldn’t find one I was happy with) - though hope you find one you like - and feel free to edit and improve upon it!

The full size covers can be downloaded from a google drive, here:-

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ByfjLkYDj7bRcFo4RHkzbmV6RU0?usp=sharing

(it should be better than downloading compressed files from the photobucket site)

I thought the official Rogue One covers were a little disappointing - in both content and quality (no deleted scenes either!)

Did like this bluray one the best though, for some strange reason…

😃

probably posted before, but just in case…

I like to think somewhere out there a projectionist probably had the urge to have done that in the cinema on opening night - with surround sound music too, of course 😃

^ nice one mate - I’ve already used it as the basis for a USB Box cover!

(when I say USB cover… I mean a square with a Star Wars logo and some text in 😉)

I couldn’t find a The Last Jedi logo with a plain black background - the ones I found all had background stars in them - so many thanks for that 😃

The TLJ product packaging looks kind of cool too:-

^ interesting the reflection of the Star Wars lettering on the lower left side of the box is yellow - when on the box it is red 😉
