Tale Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 With every new piece of footage revealed, an earlier leak looks more and more accurate. So, if you care about spoilers, be careful. To note though: the earlier leak did not reveal everything. But what it specifically hid might still be considered a spoiler by some.

ManifestedISO Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 i heard that the latest disney blu ray release, contains the original theatrical version of the original trilogy without any of the editing done to it later (along with the edited version for who watns it) If this were true, it would be trending number-one across nerd-world media. Disney owns Star Wars, but 20th Century Fox owns the right to distribute the original movie--for a length of time described as, 'in perpetuity'. Hopefully rumors of the project are true, but Fox would have to pay for a digital frame-by-frame remaster using privately-owned laserdiscs and film reels. All Stop. On Screen.

ManifestedISO Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Two things reduce my Abrams-anxiety: Larry Kasdan co-writing, and Harrison Ford's comment saying his return to Star Wars, "should have been ridiculous, but wasn't ... [the movie] has the right director." Larry wrote Empire and Jedi, and Harrison is notoriously unenthusiastic for Star Wars. All Stop. On Screen.

Elerond Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Harrison Ford don't publicly criticize movies that he acts in, as he see that it is his obligation as an actor to support the films that he is in. So if Ford doesn't like the movie you probably will not hear about it from him. 1

Or keep flailing, no one can understand you anyway. *chuckle* that being said, the original film were indeed mostly a collection o' unknowns... with a few notable exceptions. gonna observe that peter cushing and alec guiness were hardly unknowns. regardless, am not certain if unknowns is what made new hope great, but Gromnir were kinda young at the time, so our knowledge o' directors and casting choices were limited. our favorite director in 1977? had only been to the movies 2 time previous... though we did like rocky very much. even so, is unlikely that we aware o' Lucas' (or harrison ford's) work on american graffiti. am pretty sure that whatever anticipation we had 'bout the first star wars were limited to having seen kids with star wars t-shirts and lunchboxes. we rare went to school, but as we didn't own a tv, is difficult to come up with reasons for a young Gromnir to buy into star wars hype. am doubting we had more anticipation 'bout the original star wars than we does 'bout the current 2015 offering.

Cantousent Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 bwahahaha 'Strawnir' That was laugh out loud funny. I'm afraid I'm going to have to miss watching the new Star Wars film in the theater. For me, it was Jar Jar Binx. Ruined the franchise for me. I'll wait for it to come to bluray and then rent it. ...But, just to slap a target on my back, I don't like either Star Trek or Star Wars. Star Wars was great sci-fantasy, fun without being too serious or complicated. Perfect for my... eight? nine year old mind when it came out? Then the prequel decided to explain The Force which immediately turned it into The Farce. The best thing about the prequels was the job McGregor did as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Star Trek is commie utopian fluff. There's no other way to put it. Luckily, while the premise is laughable, the writers have *never* taken the commie leanings seriously and write stories that more or less revolve around people who clearly don't live in the utopian society that is technically the back-drop for the Star Trek universe. Okay, so I'm a moderator, but I know how folks feel about Star Trek and Star Wars and insulting them is fightin' words. So, I promise I won't be angry or put anyone on moderated status for going after me. Just keep profanity to a minimum (well... none really) and it's all good. :Cant's equable grin icon: ...And, just as a disclaimer, I actually do enjoy some Star Wars and Star Trek stuff every now and then. I just don't take them seriously enough to earn my techno nerd chops. EDIT: lol my wife read what I posted and now she's actually angry with me. 3 Fionavar's Holliday Wishes to all members of our online community: Happy Holidays Join the revelry at the Obsidian Plays channel:Obsidian Plays Remembering tarna, Phosphor, Metadigital, and Visceris.

Gromnir Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 ... am embarrassed that we checked. answer is not simple no doubt because different artists added for visual kewlness w/o considering setting integrity. there is... conflict. the pauldrons that is sandtrooper-specific denote rank/role. black for privates. white = sergeant. orange is squad leader. however, there is also field trooper and imperial marine pauldrons that share and add colors but with different significance. ... we feel dirty.

Raithe Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 While we had that wander on how the prequel novelisations worked so much better than the film earlier.. Apparently Tor has been doing a re-read and editorial on them in advance of the new movies.
