People used to watching DNRed video on their TVs with motion smoothing on can't handle anything that doesn't look like plastic.So, after all of these years the original cut of Star Wars has finally been screened for an audience, and the verdict? "Looks terrible."
‘Star Wars’ “Looks Terrible” in Screening of Long Lost Original 1977 Version
The years have not been kind to the oft-romanticized original print of the sci-fi classic, which lacks all of George Lucas' post-release tweaks and polishes and looks "like a completely different film."www.hollywoodreporter.com
the official website has a galaxy map now.
The main page at the moment is just a zoomable version of a map from one of the Visual Guides. It's older than the Acolyte visual guide that just came out.
There's a link to a PDF appendix of the systems below the map.

Damn, Tatoonie ruined Obi-Wan's physique.

Two suns and no moisturizer.
I would hate to be the theater custodian who has to clean up that mess.
All those detached hands.
Give 'em a hand never sounded more ominous.
I remember when Pepsi did promotional stuff for Phantom Menace's release back in spring 1999, with characters from the movie on cans of Pepsi and other Pepsi products like 7-UP and Dr. Pepper and something I'm likely forgetting. To see Coke now promoting Star Wars just feels weird, like seeing a lightsaber in Star Trek.
Coke and Star Wars (or, more likely, Coke and Disney) have been pretty tight, with the thermal detonator bottles and aurubesh logos from Galaxy's Edge.
I feel there should never be a Star War film that opens without the 20th Century fanfare, Or an Indiana Jones film with out the Paramount peak.
7 Up and Dr. Pepper are they're own company at least in the USA. But, come to learn today that 7 Up was part of this promotion in Canada. Apparently PepsiCo owns international distribution rights to 7 Up. Which is hilarious given Pepsi's constant efforts to compete with Sprite domestically.
Pepsi promoted Episode 1 across multiple products, including Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi One, Mountain Dew, and 7Up internationally and Storm in limited markets.

Yeah, in Canada, 7-Up and Dr. Pepper as well as Mountain Dew and Crush and Schweppes Ginger Ale and Aquafina water are considered "Pepsi products." In that they get shipped to stores on Pepsi trucks, Pepsi sales reps and merchandisers take care of ordering and stocking them at the stores and they share the shelf with Pepsi and the other products it owns. Likewise, a restaurant which sells Pepsi is also going to sell those products as well.
