^ a short, but pretty cool art video š

and one for K2SO too:-
The Jedi Must Die
The story is, in essence, a conflation of Agatha Christieās And Then There Were None (aka, Ten Little Indians) and Richard Connellās The Most Dangerous Game, with elements of the Star Wars mythos stirred in for good measure.It revolves around the search for a Jedi on a far off planet by a group of serious minded people out to find it. The viewer is invited to unfold the mystery along with the characters. Near the ending, there an inserted 30-second break called āThe Jedi Breakā, where the audience is asked to guess the Jediās identity, based on clues from the movie.
A slight tweak here and there and we could have āCabot Cove - a Jedi Mysteryā with serial killer Jessica Fletcher, her typewriter, and set in a place that is strong with the Dark Side of The Forceā¦ š
(hopefully it may be of use, interest or inspiration for anyone out there š)
Not really since this thread was about collecting international logos.
You missed a bitā¦

Ewan McGregor once again expresses interest in Star Wars return as Obi-Wan Kenobi:-
Ā
edit - forgot to say I donāt think some of the possible ābiggerā Star Wars Stories will happen until after Episode IX has wrapped - just a feeling that Disney will keep them back until after the Sequel Trilogy has finished. Ideas like a Jedi Purge movie, or an Obi Wan film, or Dexter Jettster - The Kitchen Years, to keep them back for a few $$$s more and use the āsmallerā ideas until thenā¦ itās just a feeling - and will be very happy if stuff like this is announced before then š

I wonder how people would see these characters had they not died. For a character like Bohdi all he had was a good death scene so without that thereās nothing to really get emotionally invested in. The only exception is for āblank slate charactersā like Eleven and none of the characters in Rogue One come close to being one.
I thought he had a good story (for one of the non-lead characters in the film) - an everyday average Joe has had his eye opened and wants to make amends for what he had done - and when he does the āright thingā and defects he is overawed in something he doesnāt fully understand.
Yet he, the little guy, can still make a difference even when surrounded by more experienced or ātalentedā people or āheroesā - that he can step up and be just as brave, and important or effective, as them.
I hope we get more characters like this in the coming Star Wars films - yes, thereās always āthe chosen oneā and larger than life characters - but itās important to have that grounding - that realism of what itās like for the everyday Joe in this vast galaxyā¦
I thought they nailed it with Bhodi.
Fair play to Riz Ahmed for his performance too and the director/editor for keeping that balance between the ensemble Rogue One team. Sure, maybe weād like to have seen a bit more from each (maybe we would have in pre-reshoots?) but overall each character comes through without weighing or slowing the flow of the film down.
Each to their own though mate.
Ā
(Iād have been okay with Bodhi living and escaping the planet - afterall if everyone else was dead on Scarif and he got on another Imperial ship and sneaked off back to Yavin to rejoin the Alliance. Though, probably right he shared the same fate as his fellow Rogue One crew. Poor lad.)
I like Electronic, but my enjoyment is always subdued by thinking āJohnny left the Smiths for this?ā
(Ok, so Johnny didnāt leave the almighty Smiths to join Electronic, but it was the next musical thing he did.)
He also joined The The around the same time ('88?) mate - not counting his very brief time with The Pretenders just before that.

(no, he didnāt)
I meanā¦is there any part of that which is not photoshopped?
Hey! That is of sufficient quality picture it could be the official Rogue One dvd front coverā¦ ohā¦ now I see. Doh!
Ā
How does it compare to their other two? I loved their debut but Raise the Pressure was a mixed bag for me and I never even gave this a listen.
For me I liked the 1st half of Raise The Pressure (and Out Of My League as a tune), though the rest was pretty forgettable unfortunately.
This one has a lot more influence from Johnny Marr I think - a fair bit more of his guitar and some bass than the previous 2 albums - to the point where it comes across as more of pop-rock/dance inspired album. Sumner is still great and there are those familiar rhythms still there, just not quite so pronounced.
This is definitely an album where you can it has evolved on what they did before - I enjoy it š
(a shame they didnāt do another after this - it would have been interesting to see where they went with it)
Yet again a personal attack. This forum will never changeā¦
No, read it again, and read then read back your post, and then have a think about posting and criticising something you obviously knew nothing about - but chose to deride in a narrow and ignorant manner anyway.
And when you got called on it - using similar language and content of your own post - you then post āYet again a personal attackā.
If my post offends, I apologise - to all the 12 year olds I demeaned. They deserve better than to be used in an example of your ignorance, no?
The fact Rogue One is even being considered for awards is a testament to Disneyās ability to put Star Wars back on course. Almost any love Rogue One gets is cool in my book.
(best actress, seriouslyā¦ best film, come onā¦, best directorā¦ well, that I can understand)
(and WTF are Empire awards anyway, itās an online video game magazine ?!? Itās 12 yo kids giving awards to movies ? Dudeā¦)
Donāt worry, soon youāll be 12 years old, and you too will be able to vote along with all the other 12 year year olds who buy monthly film magazines and give out awards to movies - stay patient, dudeā¦

Rogue One Wins Three Empire Awardsā¦ (Best Film, Best Actress and Best Director)
Best Film? And Actress? Jesus Christ, I liked Rogue One but I think that is a little much.
Aye, I thought Ken Loach would get the Best Director for āI, Daniel Blakeā.
For Best Film it was against Hunt For The Wilderpeople,
Heard wonderful things about this. Dying to see it.
Arrival, La La Land,
Being my two personal favorite films of the year, this is nice.
& Deadpool
Ugh
Just disgraceful that Felicity won. Her character was one of the worst aspects of Rogue One for me.
I thought she was fine - though likely the re-shoots may well have eaten into various character development. A bit surprised she won though that may be down to the amount of people who watched Rogue One over some of the other filmsā¦
ā¦in that the Empire Awards are picked by the viewership, and whilst itās great to have the viewers pick the winners, itās likely not all will have seen every film nominated - and due to timing of releases, it was tough for say La La Land to get many votes in quite a narrow timeframe as to a film which had been released earlier in the year?
and also, Star Wars does have a considerable media campaign and presence to it in the build up to its releases - which seems a little unfair on for eg, independent or small budget films. Such is lifeā¦
(and yet on the flip side Iād still prefer the public to vote for winners over a panel of anonymous judges - who we know little about other they work in and around the film industry. Overall I donāt think these award shows are not too be taken too seriously. Glad that Rogue One got some love - and from the Empire Awards themselves - Iāve come across a few films and features Iād like to see that I havenāt otherwise heard about - or forgotten about - or lacked a PR/advertising budget etc).
Electronic with their Twisted Tenderness album
IIRC, that shot is one of the blooper reels and itās seen being shot in the original making of documentary.
Nice one, wasnāt sure if Iād seen it before - felt familiar but the old memory often plays tricks š
Seems a decent twitter page Dave Prowse has - seems to be posting up a fair few behind the scenes pics of late too š

to be fair heād have done very well not to look or get distractedā¦
Perhaps putting twitter icon link in the top bar of the site may help generate some more followers on there? - and be easier for us non-twitterers to have a look at occasionally?

Aye, I thought Ken Loach would get the Best Director for āI, Daniel Blakeā.
For Best Film it was against Hunt For The Wilderpeople, Arrival, La La Land, & Deadpool
For Best Actress, Felicity Jones was up against Natalie Portman (Jackie), Amy Adams (Arrival), Ruth Negga (Loving), Emma Stone (La La Land).
Ā
Good to see Rogue One pick up some awards and get some love - though I donāt really take these awards too seriously - often itās one country favouring its own film industry over another country.
Although for the Empire Awards it is itās own readers who vote for the winners.

Rogue One Wins Three Empire Awardsā¦ (Best Film, Best Actress and Best Director)
Iām going to be making a crawl for Rogue One and Iām very curious if I should have the title text above the main body read just āROGUE ONEā , or if I should have āA STAR WARS STORYā beneath it. I think Iām leaning towards it just reading āROGUE ONEā.
Iād opt for having just āRogue Oneā on it - more in keeping with the original Star Wars film back in the day š
and good luck with it mate

edit - something which may be of interest to you - Gary Whitta with a few details on the crawl he wroteā¦
not normally a fan of slowed down acoustic/piano versions of old hits, but this wasnāt too bad, not bad at allā¦
