Oh there's not just one pruneface! There are three. And here is a gallery documenting what, as far as I know, are their only appearances: http://imgur.com/a/h4zdJ
A Prune Face appears at the Rebel celebration, dancing in front of an Ewok hut.
Gasp! You're right!

I still have this nagging suspicion that the Prune Faces actually came form an attempt to depict the Emperor with a one piece mask.
If you look at some of the depictions of him in storyboards for ROTJ he looks less skeletal and old and more simian and alien.
Interesting, there's definitely a likeness between them. Where does this Prune Face show up in ROTJ? I only recall the action figures...

Incidentally, checkout this wideshot of the briefing room, a slightly different frame than the one in the pruneface gallery. There are red, orange, green and possibly even blue (center, right in front of Madine) flight uniforms visible. And who are those aliens in the upper left?
No, it's totally reasonable. There's plenty of outcry among Trek fans about this.
Not sure what's up w/ the extra shot in the Japanese trailer. I mean it's obviously a WoK homage/ref, but we know nothing else.
Also, did anyone else realize that this trailer manages to tell us nothing new?

Maybe this should become a more general purpose Star Wars obsession thread because as amazing as the project sounds (do people really spend that sort of money on plastic bricks?) it could become a bit of a blog after a while.
You mean like a thread devoted to a specific project?
Is there any reason why ROTS can't go...
1. Anakin saves Palpy from Windu; Windu dies
2. Anakin flees to Mustafar; Anakin is left for dead w/ the lava
3. Slaughter at the Jedi Temple, feat. Darth Vader
?
And hey, if Palpy makes some reference to his apprentice, Darth Vader, when talking to Anakin earlier... the illusion is complete.

I want to know why it's called "Star Trek", yet most of the films take place around Earth. Let's get out into deep space! You know, that place where no one has gone before. Generations & Insurrection seem to be the only two films in the franchise that do not include any Earth bound segments. And that is excluding the Earth holodeck scene in Generations.
Because films have to appeal to a broader audience than the tv show. People care more about Earth than they do about other planets.
Is this on the spleen yet? PMed links never did work for this one, for me...
I think the problem is that he sacrificed sturdiness for accuracy. If you look around at some of his pics that aren't models, they're weird and clever techniques for very precise plate placement. They're delicate and finely tuned. If you want sturdy but fairly accurate, try Set 9493.
I feel like this makes the hiding that Anakin = Vader a little trickier... but we'll see (eventually).

Are there directions available for that?
It's really pretty incredible!
Much better than the supposed "professionally-designed" official version.
Never mind, found it!

I think that it's Gary Mitchell, At first i was thinking more along the lines of Charlie Evans, but i think Mitchell would make a better villain because he was Kirks best friend. Plus Benedict is a little too old to play a 17 year old boy.
As much as this makes sense, apparently
1. They've done Gary Mitchell in the Trek09 comics
2. They've said that the comics based on Trek09 are actually canon.
So probably not.
Additionally it makes it harder for new members to realize that their threads need improvement.

I wonder what they'll do for the 24p BD release.
Simple solution: Throw out half of the frames!
Same thing they're doing for theaters that don't have the 48 equipment, yeah.
Yeah, that'd be crazy. They could have spaceships that move like airplanes!
Stay JEDI!

That actually, mostly, made sense. I'm very surprised at how much sense that made, given how crazy it is. But it just might work!

I have an excellent (thriving!) Blockbuster near me. I live in Columbia, MD.
True, but there used to be like 3 or 4 in the Columbia area.

Oh.
Oh wow. Yeah, that needs to be done to all of Geonosis. Now I see how the Tatooine/Geonosis combo that some have thought of is possible.
Well, more than that: He killed the Emperor. When you get down to it, the Emperor is the real villain and the real problem that the Alliance are fighting. Vader ended that problem.
What's the difference between this and Harmy's work? You need to differentiate yourself from the "competition".
Yup, those images don't work here.

That old account 'negative1', is now invalid
What does that mean, exactly?
It probably means that -1 has moved to the Team account, but they'll ignore the one-person-per-account rule.
