What a money spinner for christmas 2015 !!!!

December 18th, an important day during the course of history, which we will not easily forget:

• 218 BC – Second Punic War: Battle of the Trebia – Hannibal's Carthaginian forces defeat those of the Roman Republic.
  
• 1642 – Abel Tasman becomes first European to land in New Zealand.
  
• 1777 – The United States celebrates its first Thanksgiving, marking the recent victory by the Americans over British General John Burgoyne in the Battle of Saratoga in October.
  
• 1916 – World War I: The Battle of Verdun ends when German forces under Chief of staff Erich von Falkenhayn are defeated by the French, and suffer 337,000 casualties.
  
• 1939 – World War II: The Battle of the Heligoland Bight, the first major air battle of the war, takes place.
  
• 1958 – Project SCORE, the world's first communications satellite, is launched.
  
• 2010 – Anti-government protests begin in Tunisia, heralding the Arab Spring.
  
• 2015 - Star Wars Episode VII is first released
  
• 2017 - The Imperial Gunnery held its initial public offering (IPO). The IPO was one of the biggets in Internet history, with a peak market capitalization of over $225 billion, due to the increased interest in vintage Star Wars after the success of Ep VII.
  

(looking forward to it)

It seems so far off right now, but man, as I get older, the time just whizzes by!!!

I will be there opening night.
I haven't missed a single opening night since Ep IV and I don't plan on missing any while I am still breathing!  

The countdown begins!

cheers!

This is how it could look like.....in two years from now.

 

      
Awesome, I can't wait he he

Oh I can't wait I don't care if the Zombie Apocalypse is happening I am not going to miss this on the full screen .

I'm excited for the new movies, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high. The last thing I want to see is another Episode 1. It definitely has a lot of potential, figures crossed that Abrams, Kasdan, and the crew can work some magic.

Rumour alert - this is believed to be a photo from one of the sets of SW episode VII - maybe it's the foot of an AT-AT or an escape pod, as some sites are suggesting

The guy on the green t-shirt looks like a Ralph McQuarrie's drawing:





  

it IS the same image, just reversed and stretched a tad wider.
So that basically puts the whole image into the beyond skeptical pile.   



Good eye OZIO!

Yeah, I remember 1642 like it was yesterday   

That clears that up then. Good work Ozio  

I think Ozio might have been having a little fun, there is no green t-shirt guy in the Ralph McQuarrie original folks   
 

Oh man this is like April 1st all over again   

It was just an example  
The guy on the green T stands like a character from Ralph's universe.

See what you mean though, does kind of look like one of Ralph's pictures with the gangly arms and legs
