Oh, that new video! C-3PO and Leia!
Yeah, I'm calling it, RIP Han Solo.
Sorry, but that's already been called!
C-3PO with a red left arm!
I'd seen an image from a recent piece of Mexican Star Wars merchandise that included Threepio with a red arm but many of us thought it was inaccurate or deliberately Photoshopped by the manufacturer. Turns out the image was largely correct.

yeah, I know it was a rumor but this locks it in for me.
Damn linear time. If humans were more like the prophets from DS9, we could watch Episode VII whenever we wanted, since it would simultaneously not be done and be totally completed all at once
Standing ovation for Harrison Ford. First appearance since his plane crash
Oh...oh, my!!! That will do it! Better get in line now! Wow!
Thanks, FSM!
You are definitely welcome..
I'm playing it on my television!

I found it SO interesting when one of the commenters in that video says, "and we decided to not use as much CGI" and you hear the crowd roar with approval.
There's not a lot of high pitched "young" sounding voices there - it's older people and, by the sound of it, older males. You almost get this feeling of the Gen. X'ers saying "This is the thing we're going to all band around and say 'fuck you CGI and Gen Y - WE'RE BACK!!!'"
Besides the fact that at 45, I am a firmly ensconced Gen. X'er, I just find this new trend and new rallying point to be a really interesting geek culture phenomenon.
It's almost like we're all rallying around the SW relaunch as a public statement of our lest vestiges of relevancy before we go into our fifties and then ACTUAL irrelevance(as far as society is concerned).
