A few years on… I really liked that Luke’s appearance in it was left until the end of the film - building up the myth and legend around the character - plus the anticipation - then leaving it for TLJ.
A bold and somewhat risky move - yet think it worked really well.
^ That’s okay mate - I don’t think we have a World War Two thread, so toppling one of the most evil men - and his regime - in history, fits well in here.

Looks a cracking traditional cinema to watch a classic film in 😃
A decent ticket price as well.

I was looking through The Worst Scene/Sequence in Any Star Wars Film thread earlier, and thought it’s been a while since I’ve thought about some of the great / favourite scenes from the films.
This one sums up mine from Empire…
I think I may be most partial to the Carbon Freezing scene … and Chewie’s performance stands out the most. Watch that scene again from Chewie’s perspective and it’ll hit an entirely new emotional level.
Also a scene from Rogue One, it’s the Cassian scene at the Rebel Base hangar, where he and a small group of Rebels decide to join Jynn and take on the fight themselves (after the Rebel Alliance leaders have decided not to)…
‘Some of us - well, most of us - we’ve all done terrible things on behalf of the Rebellion. Spies, saboteurs, assassins. Everything I did, I did for the Rebellion. And every time I walked away from something I wanted to forget, I told myself it was for a cause that I believed in. A cause that was worth it. Without that, we’re lost. Everything we’ve done would have been for nothing. I couldn’t face myself if I gave up now. None of us could.’

Wow - I’d have to do some serious saving (or suppressing of impulses) to go there - though looks a quality range of merchandise.
That Imperial Guard helmet looks very cool too 😉

Seems to be working okay now mate.

750,000 Reds on the streets of Liverpool to welcome the lads back for the Homecoming Parade:-

Wow, that is superb - well in RoccondilRinon 😃
^ nice walkthrough videos - thanks for posting them up.
Am somewhat pleasantly surprised at the quality of the lightsabers that fans can build there - pretty impressive, and looks like they took their time and put some considerable effort into putting together an immersive feel to building them.
a Jaxxon and Amaiza Foxtrain spinoff would be intriguing - and certainly somewhat different to recent releases - though I think we’ll have to settle for the comics - doh!

That was pretty neat 😃
This thread may be of interest to you, mate:-
I’m surprised that people still argue over physics in SW. These films have broken the laws of physics for the sake of entertainment since the first film. Not to mention that Lucas, and especially Kershner, were quite adamant about SW being fantasy and not true sci-fi.
Yes, same here.
Edit: love that documentary - and well worth a re-watch.
Exclusive deleted scene from TLJ that didn’t make the cut as it took gravity just too far… clearly breaking the laws of basic physics… as they hadn’t actually shown that their [bombs are] propelled downwards by some type of ejector / launch system or it’s inferred there is some artificial gravity generation system…
^ Going on that video I think he did know it was not okay to buy them mate…
The guy somehow glossed over and omitted the part of ‘Fan Edits must never be bought or sold’ on his video (around 7 mins in) - despite talking about what was on screen in detail before that particular line of text.
He also linked to the site - so he is very much aware that fan edits and preservations etc must never be bought and sold - and also likely aware that Harmy even made a video on the very subject, here:-
Hi and welcome to the site Rated-R-Ron,
I think there is a thread on what you are looking for in the Index thread for the ‘Fan Edits and Projects for Other Properties’ section - it’ll be worth asking in the thread for that particular edit to see if anyone can help you out.
Good luck with it mate.
^ same here mate 😃
These video takedowns and pesky ‘this video is not available in your country’ messages are an irritance - it’s like they don’t want a lot of people to view the trailer for their upcoming program!
