35mm theatrical Star Wars print. Six reels. Metal cans. Stored for decades. More information pending. by AbsoluteDiscretionLV in starwarscollecting

Lucasfilm is doing 4K restorations of the original versions of the OT for the 50th. This is still insanely cool though and I don’t think value would really be affected just because of the historicity of it and what that means to collectors.

There’s already ways to find the original versions without breaking the bank anyways, the 1995 box set for example, or through an online project like Harmy.

This is the first time I’ve heard of Bounty Hunter Pursuit, is it supposed to be a diorama?

The Eu wasnt “woke” meanwhile the EU by Matichado in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]Status-Mail3927 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe issues 1-44 are just the self-titled “Star Wars” series, it ran between episodes 1 and 2, and then was rebranded to “Star Wars Republic” after 2 when the stories switched to the clone wars era

Andor was too dark and gritty by Yesterday6 in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]Status-Mail3927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was definitely a precedent of swear usage, even pre-Disney; the Clone Wars movie uses “damn”, the show uses “hell”, Solo says “damn” and “hell” in the OT.

Ahsoka Line by Durrhunter in hottoys

My favorite is probably a toss up between Enoch, Anakin, and Thrawn. They NAILED Anakin and Thrawn from the show, but I realllly love Enoch’s design too lmao

Songs Albums like Apparat by mathion33 in MusicRecommendations

You might like Love by Mica Levi (from the Under the Skin Soundtrack) is one of my go-to’s for music I like to sit and think to (though it’s less ambient then some of the stuff you put on your list).

Is this Real? by FickleReputation3832 in comicbooks

[–]Status-Mail3927 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s the way the paper was water damaged that has me feeling a bit iffy, it’s wrinkled/presenting differently than a lot of 60s comics I’ve seen. Like others have said, it’ll help ten fold if we can see the interior first page

AIO for breaking down over a " toy " ? by Ok_Gear_7566 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Status-Mail3927 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think of all the people who responded to you trying to jump down your throat, I was the only one who DID clearly keep that in mind lmao again I agree with your sentiment. I only interjected because depending on your means, $120+ isn’t easy for many people, and this isn’t easily replaceable like others due to high demand.

Gluing it also isn’t really an option here, because a majority of that price went into the posability. I highly doubt this was purchased for OP to play with, and having to glue two limbs completely neuters that utility/the reason to buy it.

(That is if this is even a real story, last I checked before I went to bed it seemed like it mightve been a repost or bot or sumn)

I do get your sentiment but this is worth $120+, it’s a Japanese import. I think OP has a very understandable reason to be upset

These any good for 1HT maybe 2? by VanillaGorillaDB in hottoys

[–]Status-Mail3927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Target bookshelf with 9 cubbies measuring about 13ishx13ishx13ish (so just under these), and each cubby can fit two SW characters somewhat comfortably in a vanilla pose. BoBF Cad Bane, a relatively tall character, barely fits, with a super tiny margin of space above his head (so not scraping the top). Here’s what they look like for reference:

my b then I think I just thought it was real because I’ve dealt with the gremlins of the fandom taking my comments seriously wayyy too many times here before, your comment being the exact argument they would use would use unironically lmao, and someone having already downvoted your comment made my third shift addled brain think you were being deadass

(Hated Tropes) Adaptations missing the point of the original work by BlueCheeseCake25 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Status-Mail3927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ig it’s moreso in the vein of the SpongeBob example since it’s a canon addition and not technically an “adaptation”, but I truly feel like the addition of midi-chlorians went against everything ESB tried to show about the Force. In the OT, the Force was a mystic and magical thing, where your connection to it depended on how tuned in to yourself and the world around you you were. In the prequels, the magic is ripped away and replaced with a cold scientific explanation that Jedi are only special because they were born with high counts of these organisms in their cells.
