Abrams and Kasdan gave an explanation for R2's "Awakening".  Basically when BB unveiled him earlier he bumped him and asked if he had the rest of the Map.  R2 did because of his accessing the Empire's records 30 years earlier.  R2 heard BB and began processing 30 years of info to find the map and when he found it..he rebooted.    Can read the whole thing here.

There's your official explanation... like it or don't  thats what it is.



As to people being offended..it really isn't new.  Comics were once almost banned (Superman was called Un-American......SUPERMAN!), Michelangelo had to stop using his Nun-chucks because UK censors would refuse to air episodes....

I don't mind it, makes since to me. I have heard of the Un-American Superman before. Did you know that he started out in a novel. It was written, but was not that big of a success. So the author (I don't remember his name) tried to sell him to DC comics, but they said that they only way that they would buy him was if the novel was taken off the shelf, and that he could be put into comic books. I think the title of the novel was "The Last Son of Krypton", or something like that.

Not Quite.  Forgive me, I don't mean to sound Arrogant but Superman is my favorite Superhero.  Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were the creators of Superman.  It was a short illustrated story called "Reign of the Superman" in which a vagrant is given physic powers from a drug.  He then uses them for nefarious means and loses them regretting he will be remembered as a Villain.  It was published in their own "Fanzine" but sold poorly.  Between 1933/34 and 1938 They began working on Superman as a hero while working in the comics field.  First he was just a guy who was skilled.  Then he was a child sent back in time from the future when the world ends (this idea was actually without the involvement of Shuster who Siegel replaced with another artist who left when the idea was not picked up).  Siegel and Shuster eventually reconciled and finished the Superman that would appear in Action Comics #1.   Sad part is the 2 just wanted to see the character in print and did not think it would be very popular and  Detective Comics (DC) had a policy to buy outright characters..so the two creators had no claim on the character until many years later.  They sold the rights for $2,000 in current money...

Hmm... Maybe so, but my version I read in the back of a compilation of Superman comics. It was written buy whoever compiled the stories at DC. It has been a while since I read it, so maybe I have it wrong, but. I usually have a fairly good memory for this sort of thing. Anyways, just a little off topic now.

LAME!!! Why the hell wouldn't he just have kept that info in an easy to retrieve file heading? Derp.


Someone tell me what the deal is with Han having a brown coat in ESB. It's blue. It's always been blue. And as long as there are unedited original cuts, it will always be blue.

Do you know where to find unedited original cuts? I suddenly want to see them again.

Good! Thanks for finding that official expanation.. I like it.

Mikey had to stop chucking cause of censors at one point? LAME ... OMG, if it hasn't happened already there needs to be someone to do Star Wars TMNT cross over...

Go back in time (or eBay), find a metal box DVD collection, choose between the (then) up-to-date director's kriff-up, or the original theatric release. Which I just so happen to own. So happy about that.

Just.........................................no.


Will also repost this in the Sith Academy but.........

Does Sith Lightning last for durations beyond the wielder's control?

Referring to the Emperor cooking himself twice; once against Windu and the other during Vader's coup.

Also referencing Darth Bane's self-toasting at the end of Rule of Two.

So do I. But I haven't watched them yet for some reason.

[Darth Logos]

I have vowed to never watch any but those for Eps 4, 5, & 6.

[Taegin Roan]

I have vowed to never watch any but those for Eps 4, 5, & 6.

I don't know that I have the original theatrical versions for Eps 1, 2, and 3. I watched the original theatrical versions of Ep. 7 and Rogue One.

Those I don't think exist beyond initial DVD release. But those could use all the help they could get.

Ooh, me too. XÞ

Just.........................................no.

Okay, not exactly a cross over, but like Ninja Turtles with lightsaber like weapons... The more I think about it, I think someone did this...
