wcw43921 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 For the first day of Star Wars Month I wish to rectify an oversight. It has come to my attention that not everyone remembers the names of the main characters of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Allow me then, to remind all of you of who these brave beings were-- Jyn Erso--Daughter of Galen Erso and habitual criminal turned Rebel agent. Gave everything to acquire the plans for the Empire's ultimate weapon. Cassian Andor--Rebellion intelligence officer. Together with Jyn Erso they were able to acquire the Death Star plans. K-2S0--Reprogrammed enforcement droid. Sacrificed himself to give Andor and Erso the time they needed to secure the plans. Bodhi Rook--Imperial defector who transmitted the plans to the Rebellion in orbit around Scarif. Chirrut Imwe--Guardian of the Kyber Temple. Although blind, he is as deadly with his staff as a Jedi with a lightsaber. Baze Malbus--Partner with Chirrut Imwe as a Guardian. Wields a heavy blaster rifle. Saw Gerrera--Left the main Rebellion to fight his own war against the Empire. Killed in the attack on Jedha. All these and many, many more laid down their lives, gave their last full measure of devotion, to defeat the Empire and restore freedom to the galaxy. They deserve to be remembered. Long Live The Rebellion. tkdguy and Pariah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted May 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 RIP Peter Mayhew This wasn't the sort of thing I'd hoped to post about Star Wars Month, but Mr. Mayhew was a tremendous part of the original trilogy's success. He will be dearly missed. drunkonduty and tkdguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Sorry not to have kept up with Star Wars Month--I've been having some computer problems lately. But here is the 2004 documentary Star Wars: Empire Of Dreams which tells the story of the making of the first three movies. Hopefully this will explain what I mean when I say George Lucas changed everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bFIG1wh0zU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Last week I saw a remote controlled R2-D2 robot at Maker Faire. I reminded it Luke still owes me $50! A few days ago, I was on my way home when I saw a car. Its licence plates read "ROGUE II." And I just watched this video: wcw43921 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 This was the day. Released in a little over forty theaters, with no grand red carpet opening or little else fanfare, this movie went on to conquer the summer box office and change just about everything with regards to filmmaking. Where Were You In Seventy-Seven? Hit it. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Not sure if it was in May or early June, but that was the spring quarter of my junior year as an undergrad. I was one of two people who went with a guy in a wheelchair; we got seats with him in the center aisle. tkdguy and wcw43921 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a frozen wasteland in the north of America, but I saw this movie and it melted our collective minds. Eventually I had a whole collection of action miniatures. Really wish I had saved those. wcw43921 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
