It’s better than at least 2/3 prequels.

And if we still have tanks in 2017 then it’s more than reasonable that X-Wings and TIE Fighters are in TFA.

Of course. We still have Mark I tanks from WW1 as primary tanks.

No, but our primary tank, the M1 Abrams, entered service in 1980.

It all makes sense now!

I used to have a Vader mask, and the rest of my costume was a black Houston Astros t-shirt (inside out, of course), black pants, and a green lightsaber (because I already had it and my parents wouldn’t buy me another one just for the colors to be right).

The closest thing I ever was to a Jedi was a Jew wearing a bedsheet (and Heelys) waving a palm branch and pretending to worshipp an actor portraying Jesus in a church play in '03ish.

All these cover variants had better be leading up to the return of a certain meat eating rabbit.

A few nights ago I dreamt that Mowgli from The Jungle Book (1967) found a sort of sporting arena in the jungle, with a large human crowd, but there were no sporting events being performed. Chirrut Îmwe from Rogue One was an audience member, and he said that a traveler from space would arrive in the near future. Lo and behold, he was right, as the Doctor (Tom Baker) appeared and needed Mowgli’s help with… something, idk what, my memory is hazy after that, but I do remember the Doctor being intruiged by Chirrut’s prophetic ability.

It’s a tiny detail that’s utterly inconsequential, but seeing this guy in R1 actually made me squeal with delight. Don’t know why it made me so happy, but it did. Maybe because it could be the closest I’ll get to seeing SW77 on the big screen.

I really enjoyed the shot of him as Rogue One pulls away, standing there doing nothing.

Me too.

It’s interesting and kinda sad that the whole twitter conversation pictured above began with this

Uh o, someone mentioned anime, let the lengthy flame wars about anime’s subjective merits/objective trashiness commence!

Forgive me if I don’t quite trust Lucasfilm to make alternate cuts just yet 😉

He said alternate cut, not forcibly imposed original vision 😉

And is there actually chatter we might see this on the BD?

I don’t think there is, other than fan speculators with no sources. No sources that I’ve found anyway. Come to think of it, I think I recall a story group member denying alt cut possibility on Twitter, but maybe I’m thinking of something else.

Forgive me if I don’t quite trust Lucasfilm to make alternate cuts just yet 😉

The trivia section on imdb for ANH mentions that Greedo shooting first was done so Lucas could keep his PG rating. Is this imdb being false as they tend to do from time to time or is there evidence to support this?? Never heard this claim until now.

I might buy that claim if the shooting change wasn’t done until the 2011 release. It wasn’t of course, so BS.

I’m really stressing out over something that I shouldn’t be stressing out over. I’m taking a ton of AP classes this year (and last year) which is difficult but challenging in a fun way…usually. Last year I got a 4.0. This year I have all A’s except one class. I have worked my ass off and I’m gonna be probably ending up with a B+. I know this shouldn’t mean anything since most people I know would love to have even a B in some of their classes. I’m just very worked up over this sort of shit and my parents expect a lot out of me. The most relieving thing is when I remind myself that it literally doesn’t mean shit that I’m getting a B+ in a class. All my friends are nice and try to get a good laugh out of how stressed I always am about my grades. But in a way, now I’m kind of happy that I’m losing the 4.0. A 3.95 GPA with less worrying about perfection sounds a helluva lot better.

I apologize for ranting about a god damn B+. I’m surprised I didn’t delete this post because of how much of an idiot I sound like. I just really don’t want to have people not think I’m smart just because I got one B+.

(double quoted to take up less space)

I’ve been there before. Hang in there. 👍

I was possibly going to get Revenge of the Sith Steelbook, but I put it off. I didn’t want my first Star Wars Blu-Ray to be a Prequel. Oh well.

Still available from best buy… For now

Edit : also,why, lol

Because it doesn’t completely suck ass.

Yes it does.

I was trying to get it for under $10, but put more time into my BW Classic Doctor Who DVDs.

Hi

RIP, majestic cape shot. May the Force be with you 😢

Last time I went to my local Walmart, they’d just put the steelbooks back on the shelves, in a big SW display in fact, presumably because of R1. This was several days ago, but now I wonder if they were just trying to hurry up and get rid of them all.

I read Tarkin about a year ago I think. I remember very little of it.

The exchange between the two is amazing and I would have loved to see Krennic try to bring Galen to his side of thinking in a couple of flashback scenes. This also could have given the film more time to develop Galen as a character so that his death would be more impactful.

Definitely recommend Catalyst, Krennic is the best part of the book.

+1

I remember the tip of a Star Destroyer popping out well in TFA (saw it 3D simply because it was earlier than the 2D show… and souvenir glasses).

Every time I try to form a top ten list, I always regret my order in seconds, or remember a movie that I hadn’t thought of prior to forming the list. So I gave up trying. Star Wars (1977) is #1 though. After that, I can never decide.

Jedit: Question, are the UK comics in black and white?

Yes. At least, the one featured in the volume I have is black and white, so I assume Volume 2’s UK comics will be the same.
