A great end to a brilliant day, nice one Darren, goodnight pal.

And so...

This is a piece of genius.

Now it is time for...

Brilliant, shame it has finished.

Agreed.

Much like Ridley Scott forgot what made Alien so brilliant (small cast so you cared about the characters, confined set), Lucas forgot what made the original trilogy so brilliant- THE characters. He let his obsession with technology and special effects write the scripts for the prequels. Phantom Menace rates as one of the worst films I have ever seen. Clones and Sith were better, but not a patch on these three :)

Take it easy Graeme, goodnight pal.

Nn mate

OK, I'm gonna hit the sack, but still listening to the end of Jedi at least.

NN guys :-)

And quite right too!

There are THREE Marvel Treasury editions (giant oversize, effectively A3 size)- the first two split the story into two parts. The third one is both the first two combined lol

Not sure when I first knew about it, but It was quite a few months before the UK release because I remember the build up. Watching as many programmes as I could find. I have a number of different special editions of mags/comics, but don't think I have that Marvel one or I'd remember...

It's the first film (of not very many) I ever went to see in the cinema more than once. Think it was a grand total of 12 over a two month period. Slight obsession I think :-)

This is the 2000AD Summer Special, but will need to be at home to get the article up.

The first I knew of Star Wars was in a two page feature in the first 2000AD Summer Special (1977) - but they got a picture of Han Solo captioned as Luke Skywalker. I still have the edition somewhere, I will have to dig it out and scan the two pages...

Crikey I was 16 when the first film came out :-(

I remember watching Return Of The Jedi at the cinema as a 12 year old when it first came out.

Go Leia!

The funny thing is my search for Leia in the costume brought up more pics of cosplayers than leia herself!!

Beat me to it with the Leia pic ;-)

Hello again Graeme.

Hi mate

Back on the computer now...

oh dear lol

And now!

Next up...

Moving over the BRS Room for the 7pm to 10pm part of the show.

NOW showing!

Dee wanted to join in!

We said the same re Rogue One. Did enjoy Force Awakens but R1 was awesome.

Not seen the current film yet. Wasn't impressed (except as a film outside of the franchise) with Force Awakens, but loved Rogue One. Watched Rogue One loads of times, got the same feel as the original :-)

Be careful what you wish for....

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..

I loved TIM lol, but thought Elizabeth was gorgeous.... ;)

Hi again. Got my Jaunting belt on (some may use wristbands, but I'm old school), for operating between Fb and the forum ;-)

How awesome is this I Robot album by The Alan Parsons Project!?!
