i used to be a huge star wars fan. i saw "A New Hope" when i was like six; i liked it but didn't particularly get involved. in high school, i got the original, unfucked, non-special version on VHS and properly fell in love with it. part of the late 90s's star wars fan site brigade, i am. the phantom menace came out, and i was genuinely stoked. i actually quite like the movie, despite jar-jar, and , email lists, usenet groups, IRC, were all going strong at the time. it was fun to be involved in. i bought and read around 30 of the Star Wars novels. tales of bounty hunters was the best, and the only one i kept when i ebay'd the lot. ennui began to set in with the second and third prequels, which were fucking crap. now there are like sixteen million star wars things, and i haven't seen most of them. how many big-budget mass-release movies have there been since the prequels, now? i honestly couldn't tell ya. they kind of lost me when they threw out all the novels, and i was never into the half-dozen animated TV spinoffs. my love for star wars was really about episode IV-VI, and i feel like disney is sitting there expecting me to still give a shit. to reliably sheep it out and watch every theatre release. to give a shit about the crappy animated cartoons. to overlook fucking shit about greedo i really disliked lucas rewriting the original scene, and i disliked it even more when he refused to release the full original cut without his soccer-mom edits. now they're doing it again anyways, used to be a huge star wars fan, but now if i claim to be people would assume i've been following all this horseshit, and i have not been. i'm out. but i still love the original three movies (before lucas revisionism) to death |

4k scans of original trilogy without special edition crap are on here, really recommended |

original trilogy theatrical versions, the games X-wing and tie fighter are all I really need, |
||||||||

i don't see a forum for it. just "prequels" and "disney era" do i have to sign up? |

yeah I just use my email that I have for extraneous things like this, then there is a forum post detailing this encrypted torrent program you use to download it, files are very big but there was always seeders |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also there is this like to a mega share folder that has 3 terrabytes of star wars stuff in it, like the fantastic making of books |

You need to register before you can see these forums probably the droids i'm looking for |

my first domain name was star wars themed, in 1998. it, along with like twenty others, i can just make new addresses for whatever i want then set up email rules to autosort it all based on what it was sent to |
||||||||

|
|
i have a domain name old enough to vote, strange times |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was a celebratory moment because at the time there was just one, single domain registrar. no namecheap, no godaddy. just the domain guys. they dropped the price from $100 a year to $50 and this hit just as i was starting to understand enough about web pages and servers to find someone willing to host it for me |
||||||||
|

|
|
literally some weird quasi-autistic guy who gave anyone a free account if they asked nicely and behaved and it was all hosted off of a pair of 56k modems in his apartment or something. me and thirty other sites needless to say, you could make a pot of coffee while it loaded... but, still, it worked |

one of my first major projects in PHP was to take over a "star wars link database" some guy had been manually maintaining and write a little web administration UI to process new submissions, clear dead ones, etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i started looking some of these old pages up just now, and it's actually really weird -- many of them are still there, but haven't been updated in years. like a time capsule |

It makes me giggle that they're saying this is the last bit Star Wars movie for a while. Horseshit, they'll announce that an all-CGI Princess Leia origin story is in production within a year. Somehow they'll work C-3PO into it. Then there'll be a slapstick comedy called Wookiez, with Jim Carrey or some shit. Actually that's more of a Dreamworks thing, they'll license it. Disney bought this shit to milk it. |

Just kidding, they're doing to do: Episode IV: A New New Hope Timothée Chalamet as Luke Zendaya as Leia Tom Hanks as Obi Wan Kenobi Chris Pratt as Han Solo Vin Diesel as Chewbacca Dave Bautista as Darth Vader Tom Hiddleston as Grand Moff Tarkin John C. Reilly as Clumsy Stormtrooper James Corden as Porkins |

Andy Serkis as Emperor Palpatine (cameo) |

I've been informed that Tom Hanks is shooting a Forrest Gump sequel, is Sir Ian McKellen still alive? |

i want an all cgi princess "lay"a movie... like uh, princess leia getting laid in the movie... get it? |

I heard the new one got bad reviews, has anyone seen it yet? |

Holy moly, the new star wars film is very good. Wont spoil it for anyone, but it's much better than the last one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It does have a lesbian kiss though. And Finn has a new friend who is badly written black girl. Apart from that they kept the woke stuff to a minimum. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Critics are sneering that this one is all about pleasing the fans. Fine, it's a Star Wars movie, not Bergman or Kubrick. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uh oh someone sounds triggered |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah star wars is like a comic book. I think they 90% nailed it with this one. Go see it quick before I spoil the whole thing |
||||||||
|

I really expected a shit show but they redeemed it for the most part. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
only one lesbian kiss, no trans kiss, no race mixing, no Uyghur representation = 1/5 stars for me, sorry, I only care about the important things. will not watch |

Charlie from Lost the TV show is in it, annoyingly reminding the viewer that this is JJ Abrams baby. |

There's a scene with these aliens having a festival in the desert. It's kind of racist against Indian people. |

i was really expecting it to suck, the opening titles were embarrassing in a way, but once the film started i liked it straight away. they got straight to the point. and i was wondering to myself what russelldust would think of it? i enjoyed it for the most part. it's a modernised star wars story that offers lots of fan service. it does have some stupid things that aren't necessary like cgi characters and cgi faces. the space battles aren't that great, i think the original space battles were based on wwii missions like the dambusters movie. the battles in this film are just for the sake of it (badly written).i was bored by the space battle stuff, this film is mostly about Rey(totally matured now, very sexy girl) and the best writing in the movie is Rey related. then they did get little details right like seeing characters argue with each other and stuff like in the original. if you remember star wars a new hope the main characters practically hate each other until the very end. they only have a couple of arguments but it was a nice nod and showed that the writers of this one "got" star wars and tried to modernise it. the cgi isn't intrusive like the prequels. i do wonder what the nerd crew will say, i think they'll like it too. could be wrong, but i think everyone will be pleasntly surprised. copypasta |
