some really nice concept designs for Rogue One (and other films) - http://www.igorstshirts.com/blog/conceptships/2016/star_wars/star_wars_saturday_11.jpg
thought this was decent and quite interesting…

What a dick.
Wait, so Pablo was the lizard baby in V: The Final Battle? 😉
Wow, good eye.
I found that scene exquisitely, euphorically horrifying as a kid.
Is that the birth where there were twins - a baby lizard with a human tongue, and then a human baby with a lizard tongue?
Loved the V stuff - though sketchy in detail now years later - think they did something ‘meh’ with a starchild (with magic powers of course! 😃)?
Gareth Edwards Reveals ‘Rogue One’s Kyber Crystals Easter Egg in Jedha…

Jedha’s Kyber Crystals Came From an Asteroid in ‘Rogue One’, But Where Did the Asteroid Come From?..
This was one of the dumbest things in R1. If you go back and look at the original trilogy, there was no pseudo-scientific explanation for how anything worked. Lightsabers simply existed, a very small number of people had them and used them, and that’s all you needed to know.
As this was a spin-off anthology film, I might have found something like this interesting, if the filmmakers had really made a true science-fiction film, including extensive research and thorough presentation. But it’s really just a bunch of wannabes who don’t know anything, making something up out of their *** and thinking “yeah, that’ll work”.
It wasn’t Star Wars. It wasn’t science fiction. I don’t know what it was.
I’m not 100% sure what you are referring to in your post?
Do you mean that Jedha was full of materials (kyber crystals) that were being mined to power the weapon for the Death Star? (And that also, before the fall of the Republic, that these crystals were used to power the lightsabres of the Jedi?)
Or that this easter egg - likely many people watching Rogue One will never know about, or likely even think about, that asteroid crashing on planet full of these crystals originated elsewhere - which’ll (for the hard-core fans) opens of the possibility of a comic, book, cartoon adaptation as to that origin - or just something to talk about?
Or you are using a post about this easter egg to further continue your trend of posts that seemingly tries to pass off your opinion as fact - on how rubbish you found it? For eg, “But it’s really just a bunch of wannabes who don’t know anything, making something up out of their *** and thinking ‘yeah, that’ll work’”
Ornella Muti, at 62 years old…
probably best remembered for sultry seductress and boreworm favourite Princess Aura from Flash Gordon…
But who here truly deserves the title of Poster Child of Posting Posters?
surely Peter Piper? 😉
cool Empire poster btw 😃
& the slightly larger version…
Beautiful.
JEDIT: Here’s a faded 70’s version I made in Photoshop:
Nice work mate - the grey and beige contrast gives it a very defined retro look (in my humble opinion)

You couldn’t make it until December to make it a full decade necrobump?
Now tomorrow’s here today
And yesterday’s today’s just fade away
(may have to dust the top edge of those posters one day…)
Also, I’m amazed that there don’t seem to be many broken image links here after 10 years.
quality posters - from quality posters 😉

Jedha’s Kyber Crystals Came From an Asteroid in ‘Rogue One’, But Where Did the Asteroid Come From?..
Progress! Here’s the latest version of the Maz’s castle sequence. Thoughts?
As a fan of what you are all doing - though lacking the eye and knowledge for the minutia/detail - I’d say that was a pretty seemless and well executed sequence. Very nicely done 😃
Well I was hoping days or longer… ‘we’ve traced the rebel spies’ sounds like a long process not just glancing out at the corvette’s license plate. Comments floating around make it sound like the latter though. I will see how this all holds up on second viewing.
Yep you’re 100% right about that. This all Vader/Leia affair (sic) which ends the movie is a huge continuity mistake. Leia should have never been at this battle; Vader should have engaged charcaters we know and not just random rebel troopers we don’t care about. This clearly shows the limits of fan-service when it doesn’t serve (and even damage) the story. Without its “OT skin” this movie would already be forgotten.
Maybe they are random rebel troopers you don’t care about - though to me, for what they were fighting for, in the situation they were in, for the actions and sacrifice of others to get this far, knowing they were likely going to die - yet still did their utmost to get those plans out of there… I sure did care. I think probably many others do too?
It certainly didn’t ‘clearly show the limits of fan service’ or ‘damage the story’ - in fact, for me it was just the opposite… the everyman characters making a difference too, making their deaths count for something, to contribute to the cause in which they giving their lives for - along with the ‘heroes of the story’ in the Rogue One crew.
Yes, it was a great scene itself with Vader showing his prowess, but the overall message of the film - for me anyway - was that of sacrifice for a better future, or at least a chance of a better future.
Whether that be Galen working for the Empire for years to actually hinder it in the design flaw and to delay it as long as possible, the Rogue One crew & the rebel soldiers on Scarif knowing the situation was likely a one-way mission, to the overall actions of the Alliance when they decide to join the fight.
‘Without its “OT skin” this movie would already be forgotten.’ - well, erm… considering the whole film is set in that OT timeline and a big part of that OT story - to the point where the story of the film is embedded in the OT, it is not quite a valid criticism, is it?
You could equally say Return Of The Jedi wouldn’t have been made ‘without it’s OT skin’, no?
Isn’t it nice to see Mala’s critiques still inane as ever?
I’m sure he’ll be back with more of them soon mate 😃
