<em><strong>ANDOR</strong></em> - Disney+ Series - A General Discussion Thread
Time

Mocata said:

Is the device Saw wants them to use purposely over-complicated or is there some reason I missed, like what are the configurations for?

There’s a little more about the device (and the highly volatile fuel ‘rhydonium’) here, mate:-

www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/star-wars-tv-shows/what-are-saw-and-wilmon-using-in-andor-season-2-rhydonium-in-star-wars-explained

& www.slashfilm.com/1844788/andor-season-2-starship-fuel-rhydonium-explained

 
I took it as the device being an old, complex and dangerous way of allowing fuel for engines or machinery to be used in certain areas and environments of the galaxy. Differing planets or systems requiring differing mixes or combinations / configurations of fuel purities to work… or for it not become unstable… and then exploding (which is why the other engineer claimed it would be a lot easier if they knew where they were going - as it would mean far fewer configurations to remember / less chance of making a mistake and blowing up).

Though I’m probably wrong on that.

Thanks for the share of the PAL UK SW and Empire Strikes Back 1997. from Lee Thorogood. It’s too bad Jedi never turned up.

No worries, mate - it was some top detective work from SnooPac that found them - though unfortunately ROTJ wasn’t complete. ROTJ will likely turn up in time - or someone on here remembers they have a working copy etc (and we’e also sent out some requests and queries to a few people who may still have them).

Hopefully someone still has his 1995 THX LD projects for the OT as well. 👍
 

Also looking for Arnie.d’s old OT laserdisc projects; X9 Project, French Coffret Trilogie, DC/Faces audio + 2004 video Hybrid, Star Wars V8.
 

A few more ‘older-format’ projects for the Original Trilogy should be added in the next few weeks too.

[… rest] …

Man, I love this guy. I have immense admiration for him: he not only grasps the depth of his universe and breathes life into his storytelling, but also embodies the art of filmmaking — seamlessly fusing these three pillars into a truly fulfilling experience for everyone involved and for the audience.

I’m not going to find myself interested in anything Star Wars-related for a long time after this (i saw the upcoming projects recently and nearly fell asleep), but if this guy was to be hired for a Star Wars movie set between ROTJ and TFA or something… i’d buy popcorn 4 years in advance. Or, when I think about it, maybe not 4 years with Disney’s history of firing directors. Heuheu.

Same here - I’d very much love to see more of this quality, consideration, and ‘high-bar’ execution in other Star Wars releases.

 

^ That time of week has nearly come around here already; it seems to have flown by - the overwhelmingly positive feedback (and reaction videos, reviews and interviews etc) on social media has been a joy to take in. A most refreshing and welcome change. 👍

All 3 episodes tomorrow were written by Beau Willimon - who wrote the Narkina 5 / One Way Out arc from Season 1.

Olympic gold medals are mainly made from silver…
 

'According to International Olympic Committee regulations, Olympic gold and silver medals must be made out of at least 92.5% silver, with gold medals plated with at least 6g of gold. Bronze medals are made mostly of copper.

Each medal must be at least 60mm diameter and 3mm thick, but each country’s organising committee is able to create their own bespoke design. They also feature a ribbon which is designed by the organising committee.’
