Ian McDiarmid is incredible! Hearing his voice on set and the darkened shot of his face (while likely just underexposed and deteriorated by time) is truly terrifying. I wish they'd left in the subplot that the Emperor was willing to blow up his own troops to stop the Rebels.

Could have been a pacing issue and the Emperor was already sold as a bad guy. Didnt need to beat a dead horse. Would have been nice if we had an "extended edition" like the LotR movies then lol.
The third scene likely was cut because the Emperor shooting Endor was cut.

I was amazed when I found out that subplot not only existed but was also filmed. As a kid I always wondered why the DS wasn’t turned against the moon once the shields were down. Even with the DS’s destruction imminent, it could’ve wiped out most of our heroes in the meantime, which would’ve likely done Luke’s mental state no favors. I agree it was likely removed for pacing purposes though. With the OT’s black/white take on things, I also wonder if they didn’t wanna add the nuance to Imperial morality that Jerjerrod’s hesitancy toward killing his own troops would’ve provided.

Funnily enough, more character development in those short panels than Disney provided in three movies.
Finn and Poe show they care about each other and Poe and Rey tend to be more cautious while Finn is more aggressive which bites him in the back.
Rey is confident but also resilient. Doesnt mope if her friends are hurt and also doesnt give up even in the face of almost certain defeat. BB-8 keeps the R2 role, coming in clutch.

From that angle it looks very well done!

It is just a 2D screen that wraps around a corner, with 3D-animated video that had got projection-mapped onto the sides. You'd have to stand in a specific spot on the ground below to see it as intended.
I think it's a Korean company that makes them. They put one up in Tokyo last summer that got a lot of attention with videos of a cat.

A little off topic (as if there is anything on topic in here) but I’m currently building an EVA foam version of Fett’s backpack for a friend who is going to Celebration as Cobb Vanth and it has me wondering, does anyone know how the original was made for ESB? Was it sculpted and then molded, bashed together from random scrap? There are some weirdo angles and shapes on this thing and I really wonder how they did it.

Review: 40531 Lars Family Homestead Kitchen
May the Fourth promotional items have proven divisive, with some favouring minifigures, while others prefer the microscale models introduced recently. 40531 Lars Family Homestead Kitchen combines those qualities, potentially appealing to a broad audience.

I believe it was sculpted and molded, fiberglassed. I think all his armor was.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

It makes sense, it has that organic feel that a lot of the sculpted props from the OT have. EVA foam is a lot less organic and I’ve ripped this thing apart like 3 times trying to get some of the angles right
