Embrace the dark side

Agree, it's been whored out by Lucas, but that's nothing compared to what Disney will do! It's like comparing a hand grenade to a nuclear bomb. That's why I said "ultimate whoring out of Star Wars".

I'm waiting for an officially-licensed Star Wars-themed coffin...kind of like KISS's.

 

[greedo737]

I'm sure we'll be able to get those at Costco soon enough

 

[Bo Shrek]

I'm sure you'll be able to get Hot Toys Star Wars at Costco soon!!

 

[YankeesFanboy]

How about Hot Toys at TRU? Damn.

 

[greedo737]

Hahahaha

Yeah, Hot Toys at Toys R' Us just doesn't click with me... It's a more kid oriented shop in Australia for sure.

Have you heard that Disney's going to remake the PT in order to make Anakin's transformation to the dark side more credible?

Rumour has it that baby Anakin has a scene after the Battle of Naboo. Standing on a beach waiting for his surfboard he looks into the distance and says,

"I love the smell of Gungans burning in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' Gungan body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like victory..."

I must spread some reputation around before giving it to Kuat of Kuat again

Only thing I don't like about the Heavy Gunner is that he can't hold his Heavy Gun in a believable way.

So tempted to preorder. MUST SEE MOVIE FIRST!!

 

[cmiller99]

I'm not biting on anything TFA until the movie comes out. Not even something as small as a Hasbro - if I collected them

 

[Aliaz]

"Brainwashing" you say? This is in my two year old daughter's room haha

Now I know what I'll do when We have kids!

A shot of Kylo Ren on display at Secret Base today. Along with a wide shot of the entire cabinet with all the TFA figures available for pre-order

 

[Sidious-66]

Yep it is pics and displays like that one posted above that make me want to just PO him asap and not to wait until after the movie has come out. Looking really good there I must say, but I will resist because as cool as he looks the character maybe terrible in the movie.

If I cared about Star Wars characters' movie performances and not their character designs, I would have saved so much money on Boba Fett and Darth Maul swag. Star Wars has always been a game of style over substance.

You have a point. Troopers, Fett, Maul etc didn't really do much in the films but they have a "reputation" because they looked cool.

This isn't the same thing as rescanning original negatives at a higher resolution. The only thing they can do is re-render the movie.

But what's the maximum resolution of film? Surely there's a limit to that too.

That's like making a brand new master from all the source material, including all the computer models, etc. That would be insanely time-consuming.

Well, they did it to hundreds of hours of Star Trek: TNG...

 

[TimespliTT]

the troops need to be $150

There's no direct mapping to pixels, but eventually you do stop pulling any new detail - however, no matter what film is used, the effective resolution is always going to be much greater than 1920x1080, plus you'll get more color information than with the format Lucas used in 2000. I'm sure there's info somewhere on various film stock and the effective resolution of each.

Here's some info from Ken Rockwell: Film Resolution: The Pixel Count of Film
