Thank you all ❤️
As briefly discussed in the general Star Wars video game thread - though could do with its own thread…
Will it be a loose sequel of sorts to the much-loved Rogue Squadron series, an ‘X-Wing vs TIE Fighter’ type game, a retro arcade type ship-shooter, a ‘Battlefront II - StarFighter Assault’ section modded shooter? - or something else entirely?

I have to say that I find this far less awesome after finding out that the artist actually cuts up comics to make these. Maybe I’m a bit “priggish” (not sure what the correct term is) about these things, but that seems like a really silly way to pay homage to something you like, especially when there’s other ways to accomplish this without having to vandalize actual comics. I’d also imagine it would get pretty costly, even if mostly reprints were used?
Does he not use photocopies of the comics for his art? (and not use the actual comics themselves)
You’d think so, but I found a few YT videos of his and the cutouts had images on the other side suggesting that he cuts actual comics. Plus there’s a photo on his website of him cutting up a fairly old comic as well.
Disappointing to learn of that, mate.

Here’s an article I wrote about this whole issue in 2011, for anyone who’s interested! 😃
https://www.ourgazebo.net/star-wars-blu-ray-and-a-boycott.html
Hi, and a belated welcome to the site, Tawny.
I really enjoyed reading your article, it brought back a lot of memories from around the time - and also found it a quality read. Thank you for posting a link to it on here.
Lucasfim’s continuing silence on the issue of release for the unaltered theatrical version has always been baffling to many of us (whether an update, detail information, or just an answer to the countless requests they still receive asking for an official release of the OOT). After all, being open, honest and transparent on an issue they have previously acknowledged to be of importance to many fans… all whilst making new content and associated content on the GFFA for the same fans to buy and experience… is probably the least they could do.
With the exception of unofficial and oblique remarks by the likes of Pablo Hidalgo - “There’s one pretty noteworthy person who doesn’t want them released. Shouldn’t be too hard to research who that is.”, and JJ Abrams - “I’ve been told that, for reasons that I don’t quite understand, that that’s not necessarily possible.”, the last statement from Lucasfilm (that I can recall; it is Sunday morning and I haven’t had my coffee as yet) was their somewhat disingenuous Press Release back in 2006 ?
It seems Lucasfilm are unwilling to address the issue at all, and instead are content to release unannounced new Special Edition versions of the Original Trilogy - with more changes (re the 2019 SE version release on Disney+). That, along with a vast array of other content for the GFFA - much of which is underpinned on those three iconic films… which we cannot have the option to purchase and enjoy in their original theatrical form.
Which is obviously a great shame for us fans - as we all love, respect and admire Lucasfilm and everyone connected with making these much-loved original groundbreaking movies, whilst also appreciating their work and content since - and yet…
…for Lucasfilm, a simple question from the fans is seemingly too much for them to provide an answer to.
Hope you enjoy the ‘People vs George Lucas’ doc 😃
I know many more versions have been made since, but this was the original “han shot first” t-shirt, sold by pvponline. I had this one for many years and it’s now part of a quilt made from some of my favorite worn out t shirts.
In fact, I just remembered I had an old photo of me wearing this available. I don’t mean to sound boastful but I am kinda proud of this one. It’s me in the LoC holding the copyright deposit print of my favorite single reel of film ever made (reel 6 of ESB if its too small to read).
No offence - you should really see a doctor about your face 😉 (though it does go well with the t-shirt!)
Ah man, that must have been some moment being in the LoC holding the print… ❤️
Cool choice of t-shirt too!
Oh man, thanks for posting this! I’ve always loved that Mcquarrie design and wished they would make a t-shirt like that again.
No worries mate - they have a large collection of Star Wars t-shirts, and other franchises too.
They’ll also make t-shirts for you if you put up a design 😃
(I don’t often go to teepublic anymore though - I just spend too much time browsing the many designs and seeing far too many t-shirts I’d like to buy!)
My last t-shirt bought from there (but in dark grey)…

I’m opening the Barbershop next week. Kinda nervous.
My lady has weak lungs. That doesn’t affect her too much, but this virus could be deadly for her.
Wish I could just turn the money back on & stay home.
I’d wish that no matter the circumstances though.
How’d the opening go, Ray?
Are you busy, people behaving in the barber chair et al?
And how are you yourself, mate?

This thread - TheStarWarsTrilogy.com - and invite codes to it (read the actual thread before posting!) - makes it quite clear on what to do and how to get the invitation codes to join TSWT forums. To not read the thread for the actual information people are looking for - and then lazily post a request for the invite codes instead… is baffling to say the least.
Anyone posting in this thread after December 2020 - for whom English is their native language - and still asking for invite codes… I don’t know what to think… Trolls? Spammers? Spambots? AI spam? WUMs? Idiots? Entitled? Lazy? Ignorant? Sheep?
If you were on the site staff of TSWT forums you’d likely think twice before letting anyone requesting links in here join their forums… if people asking for codes in here won’t read and follow the simple information provided… how on earth are they going to be able to follow the instructions and information needed to acquire the 4KXX projects on TSWT forums?
