    Where the "10 minutes" between RO and ANH comes from..... http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-rogue-one-reshoots-disney-898562 There is that scene from ESB where Han charges into a Star Destroyer and seemingly "vanishes". Vader orders the freshly promoted Admiral Piett, after "accepting" Capt. Needa's apology, to "calculate every possible destination along their last known trajectory"....so 10 minutes may make sense if Vader and the Empire got really lucky at pinpointing Tatooine.....or there weren't any other planetary systems in the Tantive's "last trajectory" as it hyper-spaced away from the battle over Scariff.....at this point it is just a matter of accepting that Vader was able to get back onto his Star Destroyer and "find" the Tantive within 10 minutes or so..... Based on how the info about the 10 minutes was acquired....I am thinking that it may be tweaked at some point....but I do not see it being tweaked by that much as Leia is shown at the start of ANH as just barely having time to load the disk into R2 before she is brought before Vader.....based on her message, she had intended to personally deliver the message to Obi-Wan so putting the Death Star plans into R2 was never the original plan and done in haste due to the unexpected speed in which they were tracked down by Vader....

    probably...but they have released and/or licensed merchandise based on DYRL designs in the past...
  7. jvmacross
    I wonder if the Robotech Store, where you can find the TV version, would be open to making the DYRL version of the cap?

    Oh jenius....there you go again! When other people "criticize" it's "whining"....but when you do it...it just good, old-fashioned critique! LOL!!! Who said anything about Leia having to be crying and sad.....as RenegadeLeader1 correctly reiterated my "critique" of the scene....the facial emotion that would have been more appropriate would have been a bit of solemnness....the victory is bittersweet and she can't be that stupid to believe that Vader will not jump out of hyperspace in a few minutes chasing her down.....plus there is that whole bit of her crew being brutalized just seconds ago..... In the end, I'll chalk it up to a difficult CGI scene.....they just didn't get it right.... When asked by Antilles what it was...all she had to say was that it was hope....no goofy smirk required....I guess you just can't understand that....but that's OK as my enjoyment of the film is not dependent on whether you agree with my critique of it......you really should do the same

    Great response to an extreme post....there is a right time and a wrong time to celebrate...and even in those celebrations or victories....the overall circumstances dictate what makes sense for the characters to portray onscreen......another scene that reminds me of this is the scene where the Executor is brought down in ROTJ....we see several Rebels cheer but Admiral Ackbar knows the sacrifices that came about for that to happen....it made sense for someone at that level to see beyond the "immediate victory"...as far as I'm concerned...Leia was at that level within the Rebellion... With that said, Leia was partly CGI so maybe it was hard for the animators to capture the appropriate feelings Leia had at that moment via her facial expression...I'll just go with that.....
  10. jvmacross
    LOL...true...but you are wise in not specifically highlighting Star Wars...certain people can't seem to handle any critique of their beloved franchise....
  11. jvmacross
    Leia was in the middle of the battle over Scariff....she knew the Empire had just used the Death Star to wipe out it's own facility...killing both her rebel allies and imperials.....and that doesn't even include the poor schmucks that had just gotten sliced and diced just prior to getting the disk handed to her......yep....happy times! LMAO! Showing her more distressed would have worked better and the "hope" line still would have worked.... If he would have been "focusing on the task at hand"...he would have kept his light saber off and force choked everyone in that corridor and then simply pick up or retrieve via the Force the plans as they fell away from the dead hands of that last rebel......but that is not how the story goes.....but because it makes no sense, it lessens the impact of the start of ANH.....like I said before they should have added the Vader Sith rage scene someplace else in the movie and the fans would still have been happy without making Vader's appearance at the start of ANH awkward.....Awesome scene...but didn't belong at the end of RO....the explanation now is that Vader is just "pooped-out" I suppose at the beginning of ANH...... The film should have ended with Erso transmitting the data as the Death Star blast finally envelops the Scariff base (as shown in the movie)......along with her.....Vader's Star Destroyer Devastator would have then detected the transmissions being beamed to the Tantive IV as it detaches from the Rebel flagship and jumps to hyperspace.....quickly followed by Vader's Devastator....queue beginning of ANH....opening scene unmarred by Vader's antics just minutes before....
  12. jvmacross
    Looking at the clip again....he does use the Force to pull blasters from the hands of some of those Rebels.... I will just assume in his Sith rage he lost focus of several better ways that he could have exterminated everyone in that corridor....
  13. jvmacross
    LOL.....How is finding a fault with a movie or anything else an exercise in making yourself unhappy?....nothing is perfect.....OMG...not even Star Wars!....accepting mediocrity, on the other hand, would be pretty sad....
  14. jvmacross
    Leia did look off....I think it was the inappropriate and awkward smirk....I mean....dozens of her fellow rebels had just died to get her those plans just minutes ago....

    Ohsato Miss Macross Lynn Minmay doll promotional poster..... ...in case you are unfamiliar with the Ohsato Minmay dolls.... ***Note the Macross collector "seals" included inside the boxes.....more info on those here: This Ohsato ad seems to suggest an unreleased Minmay in Chinese dress and....a Misa!

    The TV version is via the Robotech store....Bariaburu may be able to help with the DYRL version....

    Always wanted to get one.....but I never seem to get around to it.....DYRL version is nice but I prefer the TV SDF-1....OK....I'll make it a New Year's resolution!

    Imperial Officer: Lord Vader, the battle station plans are not aboard this ship! And no transmissions were made. An escape pod was jettisoned during the fighting, but no life forms were aboard. Vader (thinking to himself): Hmmmmmm.....why the F did the rebels jump out of hyperspace above Tatooine? I mean, seriously, Tatooine?!?!? Maybe I should take matters into my own hands...I mean this is serious...or at least I thought it was just a few minutes ago.....I should go down there and investigate myself...maybe I could sense something i have not sensed in years.....something or someone like........Nah!!!!!......I hate sand!!!

    I would put TFA at #8 also...it really deserves it....but Luke saved it for me and the promise of a renewed "hope" in Episode 8......a fool's hope...I know.....
  21. jvmacross
    Honestly, I could have easily either swapped both spots or listed them as tied..... Both have some things I liked....TFA just barely beats out AOTC based on finally seeing a "crazy old man" Luke Skywalker....seeing Luke at the end of TFA made me forget how awful it was to sit through a rehashing of the OT.....oh well, hopefully the rest of the ST won't blow....although the rumors I have been reading do not fill me with "hope"....

    Nice price

    That's exactly what Disney wants you to do! I got both seasons for xmas.....but now apparently you will need to watch season 3 to get the whole picture about Saw and the seeds of the Rebellion... Guess you'll need to watch Rebels season 3!

    The Bor Gullet (was it a creature or a sentient species?) was just an easy way at showing that Saw's methods were a mirror image of imperial methods...so basically the Imperials had their Imperial Probe Droid and the Rebel "extremists" had their mind-reading "thing".... Besides, what would a Star Wars movie be without some strange creature in it..... TPM......Underwater sea creatures, Tatooine animals, Gungan battle animals AOTC....Naboo "cows", Arena creatures, Tusken Raider "dogs" ROTS....more Naboo creatures, Boga from Utapau ANH.....Banthas, Dewbacks, Dianoga, "womprats" and Rontos in special edition ESB......Wampa, Tauntaun, Mynocks, Space Slug ROTJ....frog creature inside/outside Jabba's palace, salacious crumb, Rancor, Sarlacc TFA.......Rathtars RO.........Bor Gullet..only watched it once...so not sure if there were other creatures in the background
