So, Andor fans: I've posted two meme images about mistaking the the Death Star for the Emperor's New Energy Initiative -- and had them both taken down. Is there misinterpretation that the mods are imagining?

And this series explained to 8-year-old me what a "Closed Universe" means. They climb a mountain, and look at the far horizon and -- see themselves looking at themselves. MIND BLOWN.

Given the amazingly intricate world building set-up this series had, they could easily do a 3 season arc -- provided they take the material seriously. It's really the only "for kids but enjoyable for adults" series Krofft did. Make no mistake - the Kroffts' are listed as creators, but it's...

Not to mention the cost for the license itself -- especially for any huge IP like Star Wars/Trek, or anything Disney. They got away with reissuing versions of Pirates of the Caribbean/Haunted Mansion stuff because it's pretty generic. I wish they could do that for the many old kits that are...

Of course want to see it reissued, if for no other reason to see what incredible modelers out there do with it. But I'm also conflicted. The Cygnus was, I think, the only movie model I've ever seen that could only be movie-accurate via 3d printing. The ones here on RPF are proof. It's just...

A few people who attended Wonderfest asked R2 about the Black Hole re-pops, and they mentioned "problems with the molds", but hoped for a late year re-release. I wonder what the problems were? Lost/damaged molds? They did mention trying to make Cygnus more accurate, possibly molding it in...

Managed to catch this as well. Fantastic stuff. A deep dive with excellent interviews and entertaining information from everyone that loves the material, and almost every actor and much of the crew. Definitely worth checking out.

Someone on a DW forum recently discussed the Troughton recorder and its variants. It prompted me to dig this out. Here's my version of the season 4-6 recorder, done some years ago. Cheap plastic recorder, but visually identical to Troughtons S 4-6 recorder, which , IIRC was a vintage wooden...

I want to see a sequel story where Kleya, Vel and (an escaped & obsessed with revenge on the Empire) Dedra team up to destroy some Imperial scheme.

The movie business has a sacred rule: THE ONLY SEQUEL THAT LOSES MONEY IS THE LAST ONE.

Neat! What did you use for the eye bulb itself?

"Dr. Jones. Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away." The Hovitos idol is basically a clue as to this. Jones does the real work, Belloq follows him and uses his allies to steal Jones' finds. He's obviously done this many times before, just as with the Hovitos...

In the video from months ago, I got the impression they hadn't even looked at the molds yet.

Tolkien struggled with this in his later years, since, as they were living beings, they could not be WHOLLY irredeemable, especially given T's theology. He even toyed with the idea they were actually descended from men, thus "apt to evil" , then switched back to elves as their source, but he...

When this is reissued, the "eye" lens needs to have an option for this. Either a decal placed inside the lens or optional plastic HEAD to put behind the eye lens. Also, a lighting kit for this will be dead simple, just a red LED, maybe slightly pulsing. The Vincent kit could benefit from vinyl...
