Could be the Lowry equivalent of the extra grappling hook throw, a false memory.  I distinctly remember talking with people while waiting in our seats about the Lowry cleanup.  Then again, maybe the conversation did happen and we were just all full of it...

 The extra grappling hook throw is real.

 We've been over this a million times around here. If it's real, where would it go in the music? The score for that scene is very clear that there's no extra throw.

Is this thread official?

Surely democracy is better than any dictatorship

For some values of "better"

Republic - Empire - Middle Ages. Could be.

 I do like this idea

^Also the Stormtroopers didn't "miss wildly". In the opening scene they gun down and capture most of the Rebs we see. And while in the Death Star chasing our heroes, well, as Leia says- "They let us go. It's the only explanation for the ease of our escape."
And Boba Fett wasn't working for the Empire in their search for the droids, he was busy working for Jabba lookin' for Han.
The Stormtroopers are only Boba clones if you accept the prequels and Boba was only on Tattooine at the time if you accept the SE.

Really, it’s just refreshing to see Star Wars speculation that’s not about the new trilogy.

No, it's still stale to hear silly speculations based on the PT and SE.

 It's just as bad as the one about Chewie being a secret Rebel agent in cahoots with Artoo.

Owen and Beru were not disintegrated. There were corpses.

Oh and a one-armed wampa. I dunno how long those live.

Well, and the denizens of a disreputable bar in a spaceport of an Outer Rim planet controlled by the Hutts.

Nope! They're skipping 9 because, apparently, 10 is just that good. Or something.

Cloudy

Yeah I have no idea who that is

Unless there's actual time travel to a future where Kirk never met the Nexus, it wouldn't even make sense.

Plus, it's a terrible idea.

The Politics Thread and The ESB:R Thread, two great tastes that taste great together.

 Don't forget the Official 4K thread!

Is that a yellow lightsaber I see? *swoon*

 I knew you would say that!

Accusing newcomers of being past banned members is a favorite around here.

Two, that it makes reaquainting the general public with a restored version of the OUT, without SE changes of vital importance.

 Uh, how? The end of SE ROTJ only shows that there are riots on Coruscant, not the end of the Empire.

That's a terrible idea.

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS THREAD TO ME BECAUSE I DON'T GET IT!!!!

 We're discussing adopting laserdisc audio as a currency, I believe.

Nomi? Shira? Jori?

I forget, are you an Aussie?

Can I obtain more currency by running a laserdisc audio mining program?

Frequently, it's cheaper.

It looks a bit like the dish on the Rebel Blockade Runner.

 And thus like the dish on McQuarrie's "Pirate Ship"?

The monkey whose eyes were matted into the shot could technically sign those photos too. ;)

Probably not.

Also, consider your intellectual dishonesty (i.e., changing the words of quotations) noted.

 When did I do that?

You didn't. My mistake. I made a typo, and when you quoted my post it included the typo and I thought you had changed the quote. Sorry about that. I'll remove that false charge and fix my typo.

 It's probably better off if you just leave your own mistake where it is, so that reading this discussion is less confusing for others.

That is correct. James Early Jones could sign a photo of Darth Vader, you know.
