Looks like I'm not the first to bitch about this...
What the hell is going on with all these old threads being bumped? I gotta search to find the threads I read, and that's annoying.

Doubly annoying that it's being done by people who say they spend most of their time "looking for jobs", but we can all tell they spend most of their time posting crap on OT.com about how shitty their jobless still-living-with-mom-n-dad lives are, then going all drama-queen on folks to try to be encouraging.

BAH!

Given the reactions to the rumors here, I wonder if there's any possible storyline that could be suggested that wouldn't get a bad reaction.

 Something along the lines of Lonesome Dove (the book)  in a galaxy far far away would be my ideal ST.
As far as the plot rumors, I don't mind the cold war stuff, but the rest sounds very lame.

I really liked those Star Wars manga books.
I know a lot of folks didn't like the art style for Jedi, but I loved it.

And, Silverwook, I'm pretty sure that pose was inspired by a movie from the 1980's called  "Return of the Jedi".
; )

That's no sequel.... It's a reboot.

The article Drcrow linked to said:

Blomkamp .... had been teasing the project in recent months but said the extra-terrestrial reboot was likely abandoned. It was supposed to star “Alien” veteran Sigourney Weaver.

Laaaaame.

No, they were trying to be edgy and capture the youth market and it backfired.  This really was a stupid move on their part.

 How in the world is linking your product to a racist organization an attempt to capture the youth market??

I have nowhere to go.

It's easy to say that and I have been trying but when you have no money and no one will hire you and you can't go to college because of where youl ive because you have no way to get there and no highspeed to take the third of the courses online that are required then it is is easier said then done.

Of course it's easier said than done! If it wasn't, everyone would be perfectly happy with their lives.
But you gotta try, man!

I know I am just a whiny stupid bitch so I will stop complaining.

Sorry to have bugged everyone.  I am better off then a lot of people so I will just stop letting these things bother me.

Sorry.

Oh, god. I knew you'd react this way.
It makes you very hard to talk to.

I do like that you think of me as "everyone" though.
You're on the right track with that.

^That actually makes a lot of sense! Good job!

Those days will never come if you're just sitting around.
Get up and make it happen!

Do people not call people by their titles? No one calls anyone "general" in the SW films? Never understood that complaint.

 Good point.

That just isn't keen, cat.

 If ya can't use the slang correctly, don't use it at all.

I watch the original series on METV on Saturday nights. They air the "remastered" versions with the cgi effects though. It bugs me. I've never seen the originals, but every time I see an unaltered clip, it looks so much cooler than the boring new shots! So much more style going on!
What makes it even worse to me, is that METV is an "all classic" TV station. So shouldn't they air the shows as they were originally?
I'm preparing an e-mail about this.
I'm also preparing for disappointment.

So.. it's people using outdated slang you have a problem with?
I guess I'm in that category as many of the phrases I use come from the 1940's, 50's and 60's. (see Cab Calloway's jive dictionary)
Or is it just slang from the late 1990's to the early 2000's?

That's no moon, it is a space station.

PT:R should remove "Darth" as a title. Obi Wan calls Vader "Darth", so it seems to me that it wasn't a title in 1977.
Besides that, despite the gang of users net-wide who seem to love it, "Darth" is a lame title.

Are they really that slow?  They don't move their joints so quickly, but at the same time, imagine how big those strides are.

.Mac. said:

They do have relatively big strides (to a human) but look carefully at the shot in question. Notice how the AT-AT isn't making enough headway per step to possibly cover that distance it needs to in those few seconds. Just the fault of that particular shot; they misjudged where it should be in relation to the speeder.

I'm guessing, Mac, that you are referring to the mock-up Ronster made. Because in the shot of the approaching AT-AT in the film, Luke's speeder isn't even visible, which makes it seem like there's even more distance between them.

Any word if this will be addressed, or is it staying as is?

I hate to harp on this subject, but this has bothered me since I was a small child in the 80's.

Thank god and Jesus that's settled.

Ok, I'll play along.

What does he say in your version?

in Harmys Despecialized, it's at 1:28:25.

The SNL 40th anniversary show was pretty lame.
My girlfriend spotted George Lucas in the audience (in front of Spielberg), so we're blaming him.

(didn't know where to put this thought... It's not random, but neither are the rest of the posts in this thread... It's not really Star Wars either... but now it's in both threads... )

.... I just had a Idea to create a more dreaming effect.

The screen shots do not do it justice.  If you could watch the entire sequence it actually works. ....

 Ah, I gotcha. I'm sure it looks trippy in motion.

Does everything explode in your edit? That would be... interesting.

And what is going on here?

Not trying to be negative or whatever. Just askin'.

The pop-up menu and the initial menu will be one and the same, the only difference is when the menu background video is playing it will be locked in place and the viewer won't be able to toggle it off. When the actual movie is playing it can be toggled on, but it'll still be the same menu, with a "main menu" button that just takes you back to the menu background video (lots of blu rays do it this way, the Lord of the Rings extended editions for example. having the "main menu" button while the movie is playing is pretty pointless functionally, but some people like it).

 I like this. But will scenes from the movie play in the background of the main menu? Because I have a pet peeve with menus that show any scenes from the film. I'd much rather it just show the title logo and keep it looking clean, simple and classic.

Oh, I thought I was replying to Duracell.
I wouldn't have even responded if I'd realized it was Imperials cum.
