Spot any Ewoks while you were there?

Thank goodness no!

 

[Jaitea]

Ah Ewoks. Deceptive little creatures. Cute and cuddly, but make no mistake they will roast you and eat you faster then you can say 'utini'!

(Think you mean "yubyub". )

Yub Nub or Yub Jub

Does anyone remember the member a few years back who went there and then photoshopped Ewoks in their pictures? I think he said his kids asked why they didn't see any and he said they were hiding, but they caught them in the pics.

 

[Psab keel]

I do recall seeing that somewhere on the web. Very cute idea and fun idea for the kiddos.

 

[Kovnyn]

Ewoks are just Carebears who got hooked on meth, lost their power and got evicted.

 

[Solos blaster]

Or that fanfilm where a TK squad is being hunted, Predator style by an Ewok lmao, I loved that.

Ewoks are what happens when Chuck Norris goes to build-a-bear.

 

[Joek3rr]

These are great

OMG! Do you know what it's called? I have to see that.

 

[Solos blaster]

I can’t remember lol. It’s easily as old as “TROOPS”, so 15+ years old now. I looked on YouTube and all it showed were Predator mash ups.

This was a fan film though. It was a squad of biker scouts, IIRC. Maybe a regular TK too. It did borrow some of the Predator heat vision scenes but I think there were also some of their own. May have just been a trailer. I’ll keep looking.

Ha!
Reminds me of this one, it's so damn old, it's 240p only...

 

[Joek3rr]

I don't know if any of you are familiar with EC Henry. But he comes up with the most amazing fan-made designs

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

That's what's so bad about the Sequel designs; the books, comics, videogames, and fans have come up with designs that are soooo much better.

 

[Laspector]

I've always wondered what 271 was. Han says "Chewie, set 271" before flying into the asteroid field. Leia instantly reacts as if 271 is some crazy maneuver. Does it mean "Fly into an asteroid field, fly into something extremely dangerous, take a left turn" or what?

Good question. I always thought it was a heading or some such thing.

 

[Halliwax]

I always thought that number meant power. Like running the engines at 271% or something like that

 

[Psab keel]

Yeah I always assumed they were coordinates to help them navigate through the asteroid field or possibly to increase the power of their shields in case they got grazed by one of them.

What piece of SW merch/memorabilia have you had the longest?

I have my original SW sheet and pillow case from 77 or 78 (I don't remember when I got them), ROTJ sheets and my original Boba Fett (all of them are on loan to my daughter)

I still have some of my stuff from 1977 to 1979.

Action Figures
Radio Controlled R2D2
Landspeeder
Star Wars Electronic Battle Command
But this is what I've had the longest.

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

I'm pretty sure that 271 was the heading.

 

[Inquisitor Peregrinus]

Yep. When charting a ship's course, you go by absolute heading (North being 0°) or relative heading (where 0° is dead ahead). The latter is the quickest to relay as an order, such as when performing maneuvers. Based on a circle around the ship (360°), 271° is off to Port.
