Star Wars Megathread

[Thrawn33]

Someone has already mocked up Lars and he looks the part. Just needs some efx makeup touch ups, or maybe a full CGI face on his like they did with the relative of the guy who played Tarkan.

Needs to lose the cape...and needs some gold epaulettes. Some versions of Thrawn don't have them on his uniform, some do, that said, we've never seen a Grand Admiral so we need something cool.

All this Thrawn talk has me itching to start reading Thrawn 1 before even finishing Darth Bane 2.

Aside from Baby Grogu cereal and Williams Sonoma blue macarons, did Mandalorian have any other cross promotions? I don't watch the cartoon channels, so may have missed some commercials. Wouldn't mind buying something to get a Mandalorian drinking glass or something.

Have you read the OG Heir to the Empire Trilogy and Hand of Thrawn Duology?

Finish Bane 2. Trust me, its worth it.

My reaction was...



You have plenty of time to read all the Thrawn books, both EU and Disney Canon, before the next new Disney+ SW series is released.

You inspired me to dig out my dusty box of geek treasures. I found a box of Star Wars Dixie Cups and a roll of Star Wars wallpaper, both worth nothing I'm sure but I've had them since the seventies.

Spoiler: Full size pictures I just took

I still got most of these guys (they were in left in the bar in my parents basement when we moved in when I was 6...)

I still have those glasses, and damn man that wallpaper is epic!

I only have the first Thrawn book for now. If it's good, I'll proceed to the second book.

You gonna try to buy the upcoming Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Archive Thrawn re-release with Photoreal face paint apps?

I'm a bit past the halfway point and so far, meh.

Normally not a collector, I move so much I worry I'll lose things, but if I see a cool Thrawn toy, I'll probably snag.

I haven't touched that wallpaper in decades, it was in a poster cylinder. No idea where I originally got it.

Curiosity got the better of me and I checked on eBay, I found it in terrible condition at $150.00 a roll. I can't imagine the glue is still good after more than forty years.

I took a closer look at mine to see if it was more than one roll (it wasn't) but guess what I found rolled up inside the roll?

Spoiler: Four Iron-ons from the original soundtrack released in 1977

I held them up to my monitor so I could see them and took these pictures. I can't imagine these still working either but damn do they look good.

Spoiler: Luke and Threepio

Spoiler: R2 and Threepio

Spoiler: Darth Vader, X-Wings and Tie Fighters

Spoiler: Original Poster

6" scale. I saw people report seeing at Target, but register locked due to a Summer street date?

Its building up to an awesome finale.

For sure. I just wanted to see if Lars had the look facially, this way the voice is already a win.

You might get a T Shirt shop to recreate those T Shirts for you using a printer. I'd look into it personally. About the only thing they can say is no because of IP laws.

It's not like they're worth anything, I was just excited to find them. My father gave them to me when he bought the album and I'd forgotten I had them.

I highly recommend the OG Thrawn Trilogy asap.

I love the new Disney Thrawn novels, but I think I love them more because of OG Thrawn (who is better than the awesome Rebels Thrawn)

Within the first instant I laid eyes on this it was already one of my all-time favorite wallpapers. I call it, "The AT-AT as ET".

I'm on book 3 of the Thrawn trilogy, he's fucking money. If handled properly, he'll bring so much to the Mandalorian/Ashoka series. Coupled with Gideon/Giancarlo's acting chops, we could have a legit evil Vader/Palp one two punch for the new era.

The Mandoverse is what I've always wanted for SW. I'm glad the Disney trilogy failed so badly in many ways. Unlike Star Trek, at least Disney learned some lessons. serve your fans and make compelling characters!
