Lets talk all things Star Wars

I feel like every time the government goes away there's a likelihood the dating system resets. I personally hate the BBY/ABY thing the EU took from real world references dating events relative to the original film. I feel like Empire Day would be the most recent zeroing. Then the establishment of the new Republic (if they didn't just undo the Imperial interruption and resume the Old Republic numbering). I don't know that I'd peg the destruction of the Hosnian system as a new zero point, but we have yet to see what now comes after the end of Republic, Empire, First Order -- all of it.
I think the Disney calendar should be BTRL and ATRL as in Before They Ruined Luke and After They Ruined Luke.

I've been writing a breakdown about how my view of the story and characters of the OT has changed over the last 40 years. I was babbling about it to my wife and daughter (she rolls her eyes every time I bring it up) when my daughter suggested I make a video about it. I haven't done any creative filming in 2 years so I'm kind of itching to do something (my 1800s superhero project is on hold). I've never done stop motion before so I'm thinking about using her vintage action figures rather than actual scenes to avoid copyright issues. (it would also be fun!) This won't touch on the PT, ST or the EU, more of an examination of how perception of entertainment and nostalgia changes over time.

Sounds fun and interesting! I'd love to see it!
1800's superhero project?! How do I convince you to tell me more?!

It's something I've been writing and story boarding for a few years. Probably 5 episodes at 6-7 minutes each. It's going to take considerable time and money to get all the props, costumes and sets made, being a period piece complicates it. We're hoping to get started filming late summer and have the series done in 2021.
We did our first series when I was self employed so I had a lot more flexibility in my work schedule, right now all the "actors" and myself are working 50+ hours a week on a construction project that runs until 2024, so it's going to be a bit of a long term endeavor.

I would imagine this has been posted here before, maybe even a 1000 times, but still, to go back in time and watch the audiences reaction to Star Wars for the first time....this is the closest we will get probably.

I rewatched thebsame thing last week and it looked much darker than I remembered, the probe droid for example looked like a black blob with hardly any visible details. But then again it may be my TV giving up cuz I find loads of films quite dark.
What struck me is how well that movie is lit and how long single takes of dialogue go on with camera moving around. It's like it wss made by a filmmaker who knows scenes instead of shot-reverse shot dialogues.
Close enough. I got AAAAAAAAAAAAIDS!!!!
Bandai X-wing has been on my shelf for ages so that'll have its time soon. I think this year will be other models, got a Delorean and a Terminator HK planned and not much SW models that I'd start on. Maybe the big Bandai ISD if I can get one...
What state is it currently in?

Cosmetics are all finished. Just working on acquiring the electronics. I've been wanting a neopixel for some time, so that's what I'm going to go with. Just gonna put a NB v4 in there, but with two switches, I can always upgrade to something better in the future.

Very nice, restrained and elegant design. It's its own thing while incorporating many familiar elements from all across the board. Great job!

Thank you! That's exactly what I was going for. Familiar, but new.

I found Waititi's episode to be a jarring change in tone from it's predecessor. While I like Thor Ragnarock a great deal I really want a director who knows how to make Star Wars cool again. I'm really tired of the formula action beat-forced joke-action beat-forced joke-action beat.
Directors need to go back and watch some 80's films again.
Edit: to be honest there's no point in making another SW film until the LFL story group is dissolved and KK is fired.

Between The Mandalorian and this final season of Clone Wars, Disney really owes Dave Filoni big time. Star Wars is in desperate need of some wins and Filoni delivered where KK, JJ, and Iger did not.
Let's put this another way... I would advocate Filoni taking over KK's office if it weren't such a waste of a good Writer/Director.
