I do not know ...


Release a movie world wide the same day should be possible in the XXIst century ...

It's possible of course, but they use the overseas markets to allow hype to build, build up an opening return (as the overseas market is huge) and strangle bootleggers.  But the bootlegging part is adapting so in a another few years you may see the strategy change.

But that's just it. If you released on a single hard and fast date, bootlegging would only appeal to the cheapskates that don't want to pay for a ticket.

I really do not know if it is strategic ... Here, TLJ will be released the 13th because by law, movies are released on Wednesday (and free TV channels can not broadcast cinema movies on Wednesday)  ...

Another aspect to it.  In the US films are generally released (no law about it) oh Fridays because weekends are the largest market for film goers here.  Different cultures and countries, different ways of thinking.

Always fun when you live in a more remote village. (read more short-sighted)
And you share an opinion with a small minority from your country whom are living in the big city.
Knowing that people in your environment have an agressif view towards the opinion.
It's not a comforting feel to say it subtiley.

So I ordered a Diamond Chosen One in mid November and got a charger with it. When it came the charger was slightly different than the other two I own but all the specs were the same. I figured that whoever the manufacturer was just changed suppliers or something so I set it aside and forgot about it. I was charging all my sabers up in preparation for TLJ and plugged my DWG into the new charger. Light stayed green so I unplugged it and tried to turn my saber on. Nada. Tried it on my Consular, same thing. Plugged those into my old chargers and the Obsidian boot came on. I thought to myself "Oh stang maybe I can only charge my CO with it" Nope, Killed that as well. Sooo I have a faulty charger that may have damaged my sabers... fan-effing-tastic  Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry

That am are suckin'.

1) Have you tried charging these sabers on the old chargers for a spell?

2) Do you have just a standard Li-ion charger. Where you take the batts out?

You says you plugged them into your old chargers and they booted up, so how are they damaged?

1) Yes
2) Yes

I also know all 3 sabers were almost fully charged already, I had done them at the end of last week. 2 I put on the working charges and let them go. 3rd set I took out and stuck on the xtar charger, the batteries were shorted down to 35%

I didn't say there were damaged. I said I fear damage. When shorts happen, a circuit board can very easily be fried or compromised.

As much as I can do to control it. Gonna leave them on the charges for a day and the premier will be a trial by fire to see if anything was compromised. I'm not willing to take a closer look at the pcb unless one starts acting up.

No worries, I got extra, and a wall charger.

Don't see why it would, since it was reversed today.
