screams in the void

where did the OP ever ask to buy or sell the edits ? He just asked for someone who might have them to share them with him . I asked user Movealong for a copy of his Story Of Star Wars and Empire Lp edits years ago and he sent me them in the mail free of charge . Great edits btw , I wonder what ever happened to Movealong . There have been other users who have offered to share edits with me as well . I myself have sought out and seen the instructions for despecialized and I also think they are a bit convoluted . I honor the policy here about not buying or selling the edits , so have not tried to buy them from some of the shady people out there trying to profit from others work . Maybe if they WERE a little easier to obtain for the less technically inclined , it might help to curtail that sort of thing .I would be thankful if someone here were to share their copies of Despecialized with me .

^ Sorry but I’m not interested in any theories or reading any books that “explain” things. If it’s not in the movie then it doesn’t form part of my initial understanding, feelings and reaction to it.

It’s about the sequel trilogy.

Hence why I’m not the least bit interested.

Sorry.

Not the least bit interested in anything about the sequel trilogy… but constantly posting in a thread about an upcoming film in said trilogy…

^this +1 . We get it ,you don’t like it …these aren’t the droids your looking for …move along …move along …

That WAS a Fun and Interesting anecdote Dominic , thank you for sharing .

^ good question , it’s like DC rebooting their continuity every 10 years or so . I say just concentrate on great art and story and the rest will take care of itself !

ah , here it is …according to this site , the blurb/solicitation was in Marvel Age number 41 , which gave a description of what was originally intended to be issue 107 …http://classiccomics.org/thread/1039/star-wars-marvel-reviews-confessor?page=78&scrollTo=191103… " but a clue as to the story that she originally intended to tell in this issue can be found in an early solicitation for Star Wars #107 in Marvel Age #41. The listing describes a completely different adventure, in which Luke Skywalker is hunted on a frontier world, by a number of different assassins, all intent on becoming known as the man who killed the legendary Jedi Knight. This early solicitation also reveals that the issue was originally meant to be inked by Ken Steacy, presumably before Whilce Portacio was brought in to help with the extensive re-tooling of the artwork needed to accommodate Duffy’s hastily rewritten series finale."

I don’t think it ever got past the little blurb announcement , but am not sure ,if anyone has more details , please chime in . I am trying to find the source the blurb was published in as we speak .

I would also like to see the story , " The Man Who Shot Luke Skywalker " , which was teased in Marvel age or some such trade publication before the series was cancelled . That was supposed to have been a Jo Duffy story as well .

I want to believe #108 will be a faithful throwback to the Marvel Star Wars of yesteryear, but the cynic in me suspects they’ll make it as generic and throwaway as most of the rest of Marvel’s recent output.

^ I kind of agree with this , apart from the Simonson cover , not a single one of those interior artists worked on the original series except for Kerry Gamill and that was only in a very limited capacity . I agree with the above poster who said they should continue Jo Duffy and Cindy Martin’s story . I even made a fan cover imagining how 108 would play out with Bey And Dani, which you can see here…https://www.deviantart.com/screamsinthevoid/art/Original-Marvel-Star-Wars-continues-764845812
another factor to the cancellation , I believe , is that Marvel was launching their New Universe line of comics at the time and wanted to free up resources for that .Still , pretty cool to see that new Walt Simonson cover and the return of some old friends .

^ awesome !

sending positive and healing energy your way .

yeah , this is an old argument . It is clear that George Lucas never originally planned for Luke and Leia to be siblings . Every piece of early Eu ran with the idea of a romantic connection between Luke and Leia . Splinter of the Minds Eye , which George consulted with Alan Dean foster on , and was intended to be a sequel movie if Star Wars was not as successful , ran with the idea . The Marvel comics of the OT era also did , even for a while after Empire came out . So , it is definitely there . There was no inbreeding because they were never originally intended to be siblings .In 1980 , my friends and I had conversations wondering who Luke would end up with . I thought it would have been Luke …wanted it to be . As an awkward kid , I related more to Luke and it was wish fulfillment for him to get the girl over the , bad boy ,jock ,cocky guy that Han was .If you watch the documentary From Star Wars To Jedi , Lucas talks about how he needed a reason for Luke to snap on Vader when hiding under the stairs and until that moment , he did not realize it was staring him in the face in form of Leia being his sister . So that was when that plot point came along .

^ they should announce a sequel to Groundhog Day and just re-release the original .

^ I am so sorry for your loss , I have lost a lot of friends and family over the past ten years and my own father is getting on in age so this hits home for me . I know it’s not easy and my heart goes out to you .

^ Act your age

GET OFF MY LAWN !!! 😃

I can see what your saying , my interpretation though is that the force was not brought into balance until Vader/Anakin turned back to the light and killed the Emperor , sacrificing his own life to save his son .

the last time I got an unwanted call , I decided to have some fun with it . The young lady asked for my zip code and I told her it was 8675309 . She started typing and then asked for it again three times . She then asked which city I lived in and I told her, "Ligma " , she said , “Ligma ?” and I said yeah , “Ligma Balls .” She then said have a nice day and hung up .

sounds reasonable to me …and wasn’t there something in the prequels about a "chosen one "?

I am remiss in that I forgot to say thank you for sharing these earlier . The link you provided was not working for me earlier but now that I have tried it again , I can see that the skyhopper model was indeed the one Luke played with at the beginning of the film. I also love that Ralph Mcquarrie used your Y-Wing in his production paintings and now we know the source of the acronym for the Tie Fighter ( twin ion engine ).It is amazing to me that we can still learn new things about the original film over 40 years later. Thank you sir , you are an inspiration !

Welcome ! I first saw your work in the book From Concept To Screen To Collectible by Steve Sansweet . Still have and treasure it and it was wonderful to see your models there as well. I especially like how your Star Destroyer really has the feel of a naval aircraft carrier .There is also a really neat concept of a landspeeder in that book . In the pictures above , the x-wing looks very sleek and reminds me a bit of a formula 1 race car . Is the Skyhopper model the same one Luke plays with in the film ?

There is a snowstorm happening where I live in Northwest Indiana

You too, Screams? Lake, Porter, or LaPorte County? (Guessing one of the first two since it doesn’t seem to be too bad here in LaPorte County.)

Porter .It pretty much let up now but Lake effect is supposed to happen later tonight . It’s unusual that we get more snow than Laporte though .Nice to meet a fellow region rat !

There is a snowstorm happening where I live in Northwest Indiana right now and it got me thinking …Why didn’t Luke just kill the Wampa and stay in its cave ? he could have had meat and shelter and a warm Wampa blanket . Maybe he could even have found some kindling in there and started a fire with his saber.

^neither one is a deal breaker for me

^ That is some kick ass animation , would love to see a full series !

I would tell you , but it’s personal . 😃
