Good tribute to Prince from The Boss at his concert last night:-

The Rains of Castamere (red wedding version) - just to get in the mood for the start of season 6 of Game Of Thrones later tonight 😃

This is why events unnerve me
They find it all, a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she asks is the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
World will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time

Oh, I’ll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it’s got to be this time
Watching her, these things she said
The times she cried
Too frail to wake this time

Oh I’ll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it’s got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever
Forever
Watching love grow, forever
Letting me know, forever

It’s powerful lyric - with even more energy in the tune - and whether you believe it’s about life, love, death, a funeral, a wedding, an affair, togetherness, or something else, it stays in my mind as a beautiful reminder that we often see the world differently…

also this isn’t too bad (a bit of a cliche), but

There are places I’ll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I’ve loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more

Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
In my life-- I love you more

In My Life by Lennon/McCartney

Not a great fan of the tune, but the lyrics sums up (for me) how important it is for many people to look back with happiness, fondness good feelings or just a smile - and start the day afresh to create some more (I’ll stop with the hippiness now 😉)

… and i don’t live in Northampton either.

To be honest that’s what you’d expect someone who is living in Northampton to say… 😉

Stunning - some great work there.

Really like the slip cover box for the 3 discs on Set 2, the ‘The Despecialized Edition’ logo being the same font as ‘The Widescreen Edition’, as well as the Laserdisc homage 😃

Thought this was pretty cool:-

^ a cgi walkthrough of the chase of the Falcon chased by TIE-Fighters on Jakku in TFA…

I consider myself teased.

Very much looking forward to seeing it 😃

Does anyone have a nice vintage looking cover for the whole Despecialized trilogy to go in one single 3 disc blu ray case?

In FrankT’s thread further down in this section (plus a lot of other good 3-disc OT boxsets in various designer threads) there is this:-

Arrow “White Box” Blu-rays - Reversible sleeve

A box for the entire trilogy. Available here with options for extras from ronwlim. A reissue is anticipated with options for phildesfr’s BD-ISOs.

as well as Harmy’s own:-

Well, the General SW thread does seem under attack right now - probably from the right-wing Nazi-loving sex-bot from Microsoft on the rampage again, though it could just be some Trump fans 😉

A wiser man than many once said (before being later played by Jai Courtney) “Listen, and understand. That thing is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead (in the brain, soul and spirit)”.

Bleep bloops aside, hasn’t it already been determined that the end credits have been extended by a couple minutes for the home release?

Several minutes? How and why would that have happened?

It’s been talked about in the TFA Official Review thread in the General Discussions thread, here mate -

Just a thought: is it the first time that a digital release (dvd, bluray, etc.) of a SW movie (I don’t count Clone Wars) is going to be the true theatrical version ? No line modified ? No sfx changed ? No wipe redone ? Nothing, no alterations, even minor ones ? This is history !

There aren’t any alterations of the kind you mention, but the end credits are apparently longer by about 3 minutes, compared to the theatrical version. The movie is now 138 minutes long.

There is a sound that seems to come from BB-8 in the scene Ryan-SWI noted (from a different cam version). To me it sounds like a squeak from BB-8, or possibly a mistake with the sound of a TIE Fighter blaster shot that occurs a second or two later? - but there is definitely a noise there that’s not present in the other cam version and early bluray rip from last week.

Should be interesting when we all get our hands on the official release bluray/dvd/digital downloads…

I can’t hear any beep noises from BB-8 in the scene you describe mate - on the cam version or the bluray (31m, 48s). That’s not to say they are not there - but just I can’t hear any…

BB-8 does however makes beep noises in the scene you describe on the official teaser trailer, here:-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erLk59H86ww (about 28 seconds in)

It’s definitely there. I’m not going to go ahead and post clips before the official release of the film, but I’ll make a short clip a week from now comparing the two.

Cool - the only thing I’m hearing in the scene where BB-8 rolls up to the Falcon is the sound of the TIE-Fighter flying overhead and then an impact blast sound, along with the orchestra chase tune throughout the scene.

There could well be some audio differences - I’m off to book in an ear test 😉

If it helps anyone, the end credits of TFA run from 2h 07m 07s - the end credits then finish and are followed by the Bad Robot logo and finally the Lucasfilm logo - which then ends and the screen fades to black on 2h 18m 05s.

So 10 mins and 58 seconds of end credits in total.

An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night.

The man replies, “I am on my way to attend a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking, and staying out late.”

The officer then asks, “Really? And just who is giving that lecture at this time of night?”

The old man replies, “That would be my wife”.
