Hi all,

Yeah and Disney would probably be expecting people to be RETURNING copies of John Carter after 2 months! :lol:

Not memes, but HP did an ad recently for a special edition Star Wars notebook with some cool scenes that I decided to make into gifs. Hopefully they don't take forever to load XD

Hi Borommakot,

Noice! Very Noice! (I think I got that right, I'm slowly picking up the lingo)

Of the two I like the first, the nice sinister zoom in on the mask through the smoke and sparks.

I promise I will get the hang of doing gifs eventually!

Thanks for sharing,

John Carter had alot of potential IMO, really is one of the very few sci/fi movie/shows. Tat bridge generational gaps. Though without JC we might not have SW

Hi SuUpberSith,

Very true, if Disney hadn't dipped their toe into the world of Sci-Fi with JC they may not have ventured for Star Wars. I was just referring to the media backlash the film received from critics etc!

I also think the timing between George Lucas realizing he couldn't finish the SW story and Disney wanting something potentially big to buy, played a part.

So thank you JC and you SuUpberSith,

What's funny is they had the option to make Star Wars in the 70s when nobody wanted to, but they said "We're Disney, we can't show incest!"

Well, to be fair, the kiss itself did not happen until Empire Strikes Back in 1980, and by that time the franchise was safely ensconced at 20th Century Fox. Further, we did not know it was a brother-sister thing until Return of the Jedi, in 1983.

So, if Disney did have an option, and turned it down in '75...something tells me Luke and Leia's relationship was not the reason. Heck, even if George had the rough story line for the following two movies at that time when he was shopping the original around, I doubt it contained anything of that detail level.
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

I can't speak from personal research. It was one of the making of documentaries with directors/producers and what not.

Hi all,

One of the reasons Star Wars was rejected by the big companies was because the company directors didn't realise the potential or understand what Lucas was doing. There was a screening to pitch the idea to the studios, but the "film" the studio directors got to see was raw footage without FX and without John Williams' soundtrack.
The directors lacked the vision to imagine the finished article and dismissed it as amateurish. This is why Lucas had to be creative and give away the profits and do a deal on the sales of merchandise to finally finish filming. He also managed to convince 20th Century only after they saw the film with the music.

The studio bigwigs couldn't understand the story of a farmboy who meets a seemingly mad hermit that is really a great Jedi knight and goes off on a journey to save the galaxy from a planet destroying space station!. They then had to deal with Chewbacca, a large, furry man-dog that walked around naked. The studio even tried to make Chewie wear a pair of shorts for decency! Add in a Smuggler, a Princess and Darth Vader.
Lastly, the script! The script was difficult to understand, take Obi-Wan's Mos Eisley quote for example. All this scared the studios away, but thankfully 20th Century took the risk.

So I don't think Luke and Leia kissing did it.
Sorry this was a long post,

Hi guys and gals,

I am sad to say I have just discovered the news that a pioneer and a man we owe our gratitude to has passed away.
Some people may not have heard of him, he was one of the hundreds of people who worked on the Star Wars Trilogy and countless other movies but never recognised, in commemoration I present this Meme...



Tony Dyson was the man who back when it all began was responsible for building 8 of our little droids.
We may not know him but we definitely know his work.

My thoughts and condolences go out to his friends and family.

For Tyeth

I will post more regular memes later.

OvrcAHs, you are too funny. I loved the jabs at me. The inanimate rod joke had me in stiches. I think that's the best saber design I've seen yet LOL!!!

Looks like Ben Ren's saber has destabilized even further. Maybe it got damaged during his hissy fit.

Hi guys and gals,

Sorry I have been a bit busy elsewhere on the forum, but I have a few Memes to add to let you know I haven't forgotten you all!

Now the observant members here may recognise I am about to hit a milestone and I'd like to thank EVERY MEMBER with whom I have chatted and had exchanges with to help me reach this point. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. There were rocky patches and Dark Times but I have survived them with your help. So to the Memes...

999 posts and counting...



The Resistance's New Super Weapon...



Renaissance Stormtrooper...



Wallet of Woe...



Do SaberForge accept...(this isn't related to the film plot)
Warning: Spoiler! [ Click to expand ]


I hope so cause I can get a lot of these easier than Earth currency!

Thanks for looking in, and as ever you can post anything funny you may have here too,

Maybe SF's sales computers can be influenced by the force.

Thank you Darth Vexing,

To think, back on the 12th of November 2015, I would announce I had joined this fantastic community and said "I may post once in a while", or words to that effect! I bet people now think I never shut up! LOL!
But to you my friend, I can see you reaching these levels as you have the desire to help and advise folk where you can. So keep up with your great contributions, they make a difference!
