SW fatigue, does it ever kick off for you? SW posters,  They are everywhere. This SW avalanche feels like a bit too much to me. But maybe it's me girly2.gif

You really should watch the first film, Rosa.
You'll be glad you did.

.....this link came up on my Facebook timeline about how to buy prints of the artwork and a little history behind the poster. I thought it may interest you guys........

http://spacefund.co.uk/star-wars-1977-tom-beauvais-print/




Thanks GemGem. The design is a great piece of Star Wars history (an interesting write up as always Ed) so I ordered one. It's a great looking print but a word of warning to anyone placing an order. The mailing tube is as flimsy as hell - the print is unlikely to survive international shipping without damage.

Thanks for the heads up Mark, I ordered one as well. Will have to see if it survives or not.

Thank you, Mark.  I wasn't going to get one, and then I saw you were interested, so thanks to your power of persuasion, I ended up getting one too.  I guess I don't want to be left out.

Not sure, since I have no idea why I got it.  I don't really like it and I may very well end up hating it.  So I cannot really thank anyone at this point, except Mark, sarcastically.

Soooo...

Saw the new Star Wars on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. No further comment needed about my level of SW geekiness, the wife did that enough.

During one of the showings the below was given as a handout. Never heard of it before and did not open it. Anyone know what this is? I do not see anything on the front about copyright from Disney for the name Star Wars or anything else so think it is completely not related and the name i used without permission. Me thinks lawsuit coming to them. Any thoughts or knowledge from others?

I saw it on Friday and Saturday, once at the Arclight Hollywood and once at the Chinese Theatre, were all the premieres were held.  Will probably try to see it once more before we go on vacation.  Maybe at El Capitan :)

Thanks, did not try io9, tried voyager and its website.

So yes they are not related to SW in any way.

You really should watch the first film, Rosa.
You'll be glad you did.


not sure about this.
I recently watched it again, after MANY years. as a kid I loved it of course (I even worse SW sandals)
but now the comedy really ruins it for me.
I  think if it wasn't for the nostalgia I would ever watch again.
So perhaps for someone like Rosa it just wouldn't have that magic that people feel.*

* I would be glad to be proven wrong.

Not a poster, but interesting Peter Cushing, Star wars thing. Mick found this and dropped this off the other day, he'd asked about a film, but was told Peter was away filming Star wars..

It's more than a Hobby...
