Cad Bane growing up on the mean streets of Star Wars East New York. Exactly what we all wanted to see.

Patton Oswalt screaming voice: “I don’t give a shit where the stuff I love comes from. I just love the stuff that I love!”

Cliffs on the characters in the Ventress arc?

Namely her young Jedi sidekick and the Sith with red eyes. 

 

Unidentified inquisitor is all I’ve gotten

If you are a fan of the Rewatchables podcast, the latest episode is a 2 parter on Star Wars.

Simmons infamously hates Star Wars, but I heard he was converted after this episode.

He was born in 1969. Absolutely insane that he didn’t see this movie in theaters and fall in love as a 8 year old.

We went over to my mother’s house to give her the cards and flowers for Mother’s Day. Youngest started nosing around in the cabinets and so we got down all of these. Probably some great lead paint on them.

Why is your kid poking around my mom's house?

We had a few of those glasses, no telling what happened to them.  When I hit my BB-gun/fireworks stage I decimated what would be thousands of dollars worth of SW toys.

Wow, memory unlocked. We had some of those McDonald’s glasses. 

Burger King. Not McDonalds.

I drank a lot of Kool-Aid and Tang in those same glasses, usually poured from this.

Yup we had all those glasses.  Didn't save them, we used them daily, and so eventually the inevitable happened and we broke them all over time.

I'd love to still have them intact, would make a fine tall Long Island Iced Tea.

Since I'm sitting in my parent's house and know where these are I just peaked at our collection that did survive to now.

Empire - just 2 and 4 of your pictures

Jedi - 1, 2 and 4(x2)

 

Vader in that first glass

Sasha - Last night I had dream that I did a tandem skydive ...

Which Despecialized do people recommend now? I have the 4K77 one. Looking at which one would look the best in 4K. 

4k77, 4k80 and 4k83 aren't despecialized - they're scans of the original theatrical releases! I like the ones that have DNR passes to reduce the amount of "snow"

 

They look great on an OLED, IMO

Come back to the light atom heart… you’ve succumbed too much to the dark side

I have no idea if the person who fed the lines into the LLM knew it or not, but George Lucas was originally slated to make Apocalypse Now for Francis Ford Coppola, and Lucas planned to shoot it on 16mm in Vietnam, in the early 70s, you know, while the Vietnam War was still raging.  

So yes, I found this very amusing.

And it's a huge "What if" - what if Lucas goes through and makes Apocalypse Now?  Does it do well? If not, does Star Wars never happen?

Lucas has said multiple times in interviews that Star Wars (1977) was his Vietnam protest film. The rebels were modeled after the Viet Cong and the Empire was modeled after the Americans and their allies in Vietnam

He wanted it to be clear that empires, not only like that in Star Wars but also (in his own words) the real-life English Empire and American Empire, were in the wrong. According to Lucas, "That was the whole point."
