They aren't going to do a recut. It says right there in their FAQ, the most they'll do is a Rifftrax style audio track. They also say that if they do that they'll need to edit the dialogue because it's longer than the movies are. And that's all if they do an audio project one day, and have not decided not to do one.

The point is that for a Rifftrax style audio dub to work, it would have to synchronize with the films, and they've diverged enough from the gross physical events that such a dub would be nearly impossible.

A parody video on youtube isn't any more copyright violating than the comic itself.

Parody videos like that should be protected by Fair Use, but they keep getting blocked on Youtube anyway.

Given this is Disney, suing them into oblivion would probably be the nice approach. Disney is a very trigger-happy company legally, and will move heaven and earth (including the law itself) to protect its IPs.

Speaking of which, the Hitler And Mickey Mouse protection act is up for renewal in a few years.

The Copyright Term Extension Act. Basically Disney's gonna get the court to extend their ownership of Mickey Mouse like they do every twenty years or so.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

I've heard it said that the length copyrights last is equal to X +20 years, with X being the age of Mickey Mouse tongue

To be fair, they only did this once (in 1998). 2018 is the year that the issue will come up again, as that's when they lose copyright on the earliest Mickey short films.

How did they go straight from "unknown droid, Han blows it up" to "Imperial probe droid, we're fucked"?

Random droids do not just pop into existence on ice worlds with no civilisation.

Could have been a mining corporation survey probe.

Though could be Chewie was able to recognize the design before Han blew it up.

Hey, when you're the hideously outgunned underdog of a galactic civil war, so thoroughly persecuted by your enemy that you're forced to hide out in a rinky-dink base on the frozen ass of the galaxy, sometimes you're got to jump to "what if X coincidence was actually an Imperial trap!" in order to avoid being totally wiped out.

Annie is playing Darth Vader as well as Leia.

IIRC, and maybe I don't, the GM played Vader when he and Leia were together.

The GM "played" Vader every scene before the other players figured out Annie was playing him and Leia, but was following notes and instructions from Annie on how to play him. That includes Leia's interrogation scenes.

Things aren't off to a good start with Falcon repairs.

Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great
