I bet they'll get Williams to write a new intro fanfare to put under the studio logos.

It's the same reveal as in ANH. Desert place looking for someone. Some guy comes around and is asked: "Hey do you know *****". "Yes it's me".
No it's not. With Yoda, there's a period of "oh this little green guy is going to take me to Yoda later". They're pretty different!
And I say that as someone who thinks preserving the Yoda surprise is dumb.

Additionally, lightsabers were installed in his elbows, forearms, wrists, and knees.

I think this might be the single worst image on all of Wookieepedia
You're right. So many sabers, and they're all one color? Terrible. He should have at least 5 different colors going on.
Well, you have to cut Lando out of the fight. This might be tricky (I haven't actually watched the fight to check), but it does mean getting rid of Han leaning over the side and shooting while mostly-blind.
Not that that's a bad thing, mind you.
On the definite plus side, you get to take out those shots of him lowering his facemask just enough to reveal his identity.
Also, the Falcon coming up over the dunes would look awesome.
A new Jabba Plan
I spent several minutes trying to think of an explanation for the Jabba plan.
It's worse than the convoluted Dark Knight & Skyfall situations

I'm sure someone will remember seeing your dream on screen in 1977 sometime in the future.
I hope Harmy fakes this one too.

The set up process involves matching the lighting, setting up the green screen and then you have to set up the camera and model so that exactly matches the angle of the original full scale speeder set. That isn’t as easy as you would think.
I would think that that's really difficult! But I'd like more information as to just how one figures this out, particularly when it comes to matching motion.
Maybe they can't find the original child-actor audio tapes?
sure it is.
prove it.
Yeah, but, as 005 said, Martin Marietta was a defense contractor.
Hi!
I had never noticed the Falcon's transparency as it undocks and departs.
I found a new apartment!
All they have to do is not include Mara Jade, and there goes another chunk of EU.
Oh I almost forgot!

I branched your mothers' timelines last night!

Okay Tim,
re: my point in t'other thread abot Doc having a bullet-proff vest all along. Is it possible that the Doc we see at the start of BTTF1 had already met BBTF1 Marty and BTTF3 Marty and it was only the appearance of BTTF3 Marty that convinced him to read the letter but he decided to never tell young pre-BTTF1 Marty so the timeline would be maintained?
No, he didn't. At that point, Doc was not wearing a bulletproof vest. However, by the time Marty gets there at the end of the movie, Doc-without-vest never existed, except in Marty's memory. Why Marty's memory seems immutable, while the timeline changes around him, is never addressed. Apparently that's just how time travel works - Your physical body can be affected by change-propagation (see: Marty's disappearing hand), but your memories remain intact, as long as you are a time traveler.
I concede that it makes no sense, obviously.
Also does BBTF3 Cowboy Doc still have the knowledge of meeting BTTF2 Marty in BTTF2 and BTTF3 or just meeting BTTF1 Marty in BTTF1? So is BTTF3 Doc a different DOC than in BTTF1 and BTTF2? Or is BTTF3 Doc the same as BTTF1 Doc but BTTF2 Doc is in another timeline and for our Marty no longer exists?
I need to re-read the plots of 2 & 3 to answer this question, because it's been awhile since I saw them.
I am making this post because many of youmisunderstand BTTF time travel.
BTTF has a single, non-branching, mutable timeline. Changes to the timeline propagate to the future slowly, at some sort of undefined meta-time rate. This is why Marty and his siblings start disappearing from the photo one by one (although why they do so in parts is nonsensical). If it used branching or multiple timelines, the photo would be unchanged, just from a different timeline. If the timeline was immutable, there'd be no fading problems, no mall sign change, no change in his parents' lives, etc.
A single, mutable timeline with non-instant change propagation is the only way to explain those films. It's nonsense in reality, but it's pretty consistent in the films.

You know all those other versions of Doc Brown and Marty that were glimpsed at/implied to have existed/presumed to have done their own mucking with the timestream but whose adventures were never actually followed within the main story of the Back to the Future films?
No, I don't.
Alright, let's see if I can make myself clear on this one ...
Remember at the end of the first BTTF, in the new timeline where the Libyans gun down the Doc without killing him? Well, the Marty of that timeline ends up going off on his own trip into the past, leaving the Marty of the original timeline, who now exists within the new timeline, to take his place.
Now, the million dollar question is this: where did that other Marty go? He must have also gone backward in time to 1955 and mucked with the timestream. What affect did he have on history, though, and what kind of timeline(s) did he end up creating? We never see this happen in the movies, but it must have happened, or time travel just doesn't make any sense in the BTTF Universe (well, it already makes no sense, but anyway).
What do you mean? It's the same Marty! He goes back in time to 1955, has a bunch of adventures involving his parents, tries to give Doc a note saying the Libyans will kill him because he just saw Doc get shot. No problem.

No, I don't.
I guess time travel in the BTTF Universe actually does create parallel, co-existing timelines after all.
What noooooooooooooooooooooo
Not only do we already have a thread for this kind of discussion, but I feel like you just want to promote your youtube.
Casablanca (1942)
I thought I had seen this movie. As it turns out, I had never actually watched the whole thing from start to finish. What a great film. Renneau was easily my favorite character, and the dialogue between him and Rick, as well as between Rick and Ferrarri, is great.
I'm not sure where to put this, so.
