I've always appreciated the old fan theory that Luke's green lightsaber used the crystal from Qui-Gon's that Obi-Wan had saved, and he found it upon returning to Obi-Wan's hut on Tatooine.

I've always appreciated the old fan theory that Luke's green lightsaber used the crystal from Qui-Gon's that Obi-Wan had saved, and he found it upon returning to Obi-Wan's hut on Tatooine.

Since Obi-Wan used Qui-Gon's lightsaber for a time after his death and likely had some attachment to it, it seems likely he would have held on to it and even made sure to grab it from the temple when he and Yoda returned there in ROTS, anticipating someone's need to build a new saber eventually. It seems like a good legacy to carry on.

I'll never not find it funny that it took R2 barely more than a day to get so fed up with C-3P0 as a new traveling companion that he straight up pushed him off a cliff

Especially given that he had no way of knowing 3P0 had anywhere safe to land!

I'm glad that he grew on him though... although I'm sure 3P0 getting regular memory wipes while R2 didn't probably proved annoying, what with having a technically perpetually amnesiatic sidekick.

Denny's employees - does the meat and mushrooms for the pot roast sandwich come pre-cooked, or made fresh at the restaurant? I unironically love it, and trying to figure out making it at home and if I can freeze extra ingredients for future batches.

Basically, does the meat and/or mushrooms, onions, etc come bagged, or what parts are done in house?

The lack of railings on the Death Star makes a lot more sense when you consider that the Geonosians, as a flighted species, designed and built most of it.

For Geonosians, railings would just be an annoying hindrance, getting in the way of construction and mobility.

Love Carrie's improvised space buns!

If you look closely in the background of the Battle of Utapau, there's a member of Parjai Squad straight throwing hands with a B1 droid.

Hands rated 'E for Every Clanker.' Also, Parjai Squad/Airborne Troopers probably have my favorite clone helmet of all time, have been since ROTS came out.

Behind the scenes of Gurney's use of dioramas and costumed models to paint 'The Excursion' from Dinotopia: The World Beneath

Gurney's notes on the process:

> "To figure out the scene in miniature, I adapt a vinyl toy of a Camarasaurus, outfitted with a saddle that I made out of cardboard, wire, and starched cloth. The little plastic figures help me to figure out the overlapping and the cast shadows."

> "I recruit some neighbor kids to wear my Renaissance-fair costumes (made by Moresca) and pretend they’re riding dinosaurs. Next I have to assemble all these pieces into a whole composition."

"I always wanted to be lifted." "Fight the Empire!" Good looking out Brasso, you made both things happen for Maarva. She would be proud.

I wish we'd gotten more Brasso, but boy did he make an impact with the limited screen time he had (like somehow almost everyone in the show did). Andor is such an example of "There are no small parts, only small actors," and while the show certainly had some small roles, it never had small actors.

The Magician's Nephew cosplay shoot in The Wood Between The Worlds by photographer Julie Floro

Absolutely love how this turned out! Floro did a phenomenal job, and all without the use of AI. Such a magical imagining of the Wood Between The Worlds. Jadis looks great, exactly as she should. ​Also, love the fact that they have the guinea pig!

Full set of photos with more details and credits!

The Lucas Museum would have made an absolutely fantastic filming location for Andor - so many good set opportunities

I'd honestly be shocked if they don't work it into a future show at some point. It definitely has Gilroy Coruscant vibes, or maybe Alderaan.

'A Song In The Garden,' from Dinotopia: Journey to Chandara

> 'In a seed, a tree is hidden That a raindrop can release. Join me on this winding pathway. All we have is just this day. Winter will be here tomorrow; Summer's empire cannot stay.'

Love this song!

Samuel L. Jackson getting to visit his Mace Windu statue at the new Lucas Museum in LA! It's been so fun seeing the delight all the actors and artists have been having getting to see themselves and their work represented there!

Looking forward to getting to visit in the next couple weeks and check out Doug Chiang's gallery there!

Seals at the Noboribetsu Marine Park in Japan have a water ring so they can get an elevated view of their visitors!

Super neat idea, I've seen this used for fish tanks before, but never on this scale!

In TLTWATW, Digory Kirke is supposed to be 50 with white hair, which I've seen people say isn't realistic - but here's Ian McDiarmid at 49, so it's quite feasible. Incidentally, I think McDiarmid would have made a fantastic Professor Kirke.

At least when considering the original time frame, there's also the factors that people aged a lot more rapidly in the past, and Digory probably fought in WWI, which would add some years and stress. We could also consider the 'unreliable narrator' aspect, in that Lucy and the other children may just think he's much older than he is because they're so young.

Wasn't it nice of Bor Gullet to help Bodhi relax after his defection with a nice full-body tentacle massage?

See? Bodhi's having the time of his life! So relaxed he almost forgot his own name!

Given the allegedly heavy musical influence of the new adaptation, it's more important than ever that they remember that The Wood Between The Worlds and Charn are both explicitly silent places

From The Magician's Nephew:

> They stood still and listened, but all they could hear was the thump-thump of their own hearts. This place was at least as quiet as the Wood between the Worlds. But it was a different kind of quietness. The silence of the Wood had been rich and warm (you could almost hear the trees growing) and full of life: this was a dead, cold, empty silence. You couldn’t imagine anything growing in it.

Really, really hoping they take note and make them appropriately quiet locations. Sound design is such an important part of a film, and Narnia contrasting with other worlds by being full of life and sound is so important to the story.

If absolutely all life, down to the tiniest microbe, was wiped out on earth instantly, would the atmosphere and climate remain the same over time? If someone visited earth 1000 years after that event, would they find our atmosphere and climate exactly as it was, or changed?

Was curious what the implications would be after reading a novel where essentially this happens, and visitors from another world come some indeterminate time later and are able to breathe there fine. Is that something that would be possible/realistic?

Why on earth (no pun intended) is Jadis using supernatural powers to blow out windows, crumple cars, and send people flying... on earth?

Gerwig clearly didn't get the memo that it's sort of a major plot point that Jadis doesn't have her powers on earth. Again, the trend of making things flashier and more 'exciting' for no reason rears it's ugly head. If she can't make the movie fun and exciting without making these changes, it's a skill issue on her part - not because the source material isn't viable for a faithful adaptation.
