• Is the man in the high castle good? I’ve bene thinking about watching it.

Also - battlestar galatic (the reboot) is awesome.

Can be a bit of a slow burner at times - but worth it as the pace picks up towards the end of bother series so far.

Galactica was great - many superb episodes - especially early on. Hard to believe it started back in '03 now…

The UK Shameless is great - a lot more ‘raw’ than the US version - but both good enjoyable series.

loved the first two episodes from season 3 of The Leftovers - some crazy WTF enjoyable tv so far 😃

cool poster and the trailer has me intrigued - roll on 4th May 😃

Wasn’t really sure where a cosplay story would best fit, so here it is. A little girl dressed as Jyn at a con so she could deliver the Death Star plans to the Princess. She gave a set to several versions of Leia. Really neat.

If you want a high quality remaster of the ROTJ soundtrack then I give my highest recommendation to the ABC remaster. I also used to think there was nothing to salvage until I listened to that beauty.

Is that on the spleen? I didn’t find it. I used to have it but it has disappeared from my folders…

I think it may be named ‘ABC’s Star Wars OT Soundtracks Salvage’ on the spleen - weighing in at 2.77gb (though if you only wanted the ROTJ part it’d be a lot less 😃)

Well that or Obi-Wan http://omegaunderground.com/2017/04/21/exclusive-mr-robot-creator-sam-esmail-might-pen-star-wars-anthology-script/

Sam Esmail doing a standalone SW film is something to look forward too 😃

(visions of Rami Malek a as a Rebel hacker in a dystopian future with friends/allies/enemies amongst his inner circle/surroundings - Portia Doubleday could be the first blonde in the SW universe 😉)

Just kidding (maybe?) - though it’d be very interesting to see what he would come up with…

Mocata said:

The other one is probably the Boba Fett movie right?

I hope so, though probably not. If the alleged Fett film was ready to go - but the studio got cold feet about the director (Josh Trank?) - then surely it’d have made sense to replace the director and then just carry on - though it seems this isn’t he case.

As there hasn’t been been much/any news on the 3rd standalone film it’s difficult to guess what they’re going to do as of now - though personally I’d like to see a film from the Empire point of view (whether that be a stormtrooper, officer, agent or higher-up in Palpatine’s circle).

(possible Jedi-purge and Obi-Wan themed films I think will likely be kept back until after the Sequel Trilogy finishes)

Overall I’d like to see more new stories with Anthologies instead of exploring the backstory of a bunch of OT characters. There’s a lot of risk of de-mystifying characters in a bad way (See PT for a zillion examples of this)

Yep.

New stuff please Disney.

In a few years there will essentially be two prequel trilogies. Not a pleasing thought.

There have been 2 prequel trilogies since 2005; the Holiday Special, Battle For Endor & Caravan Of Courage being one (from a certain point of view), and the TPM, AOTC & ROTS as the other Prequel Trilogy.

You’re right - it certainly hasn’t been a pleasing thought.

Thankfully, Rogue One goes up some way to making things right - though we’ll have to wait and see about the Solo film - and then whatever the next Standalone Story is about, no?

Rogue One tops Blu-Ray & Home Video Sales Charts…

The success follows the Star Wars film’s run as 2016’s highest-grossing movie

I didn’t realise the resemblance to Old Republic Jedi symbol - whether intentional, accidental, coincidental or just seeing things where there is nothing to see…

Yeah, I’ve been seeing more and more cassettes lately, starting with a Purple Rain reissue right after Prince died. I get a kick out of making the occasional mixtape, but I can’t imagine actually buying anything on that format.

cool find SilverWook, like joefavs said it seems the humble music tape is on bit of a revival - and it started me on a search once more for something a little different to store Star Wars stuff on - and ended on knocking up this cover…

Long live the tape! (and the tape boxes they came in) 😉
