I would love it if I could say "No, you misunderstood what I meant." But no, that's it exactly.

Indeed... And now that I've read a couple of TFA's, it sounds like... they might even release an ENTIRE MOVIE devote to Jar Jar, if they felt like it. They're talking about alternating between standalone character-based movies, and episodes of the main plot line. I do, in general, have more faith in Disney than in George Lucas for coming up with a quality film. So, we'll see what happens.....

Are they planning to continue the story after the events of "Return of the Jedi?" If that's the case, hopefully we can safely assume that Jar Jar will remain in the past.

If only I had mod points to spend....

Well phrased- I was trying to come up with a response similar to this....

So, the organizers of the conference invited somebody to do a talk about sex.. and also invited a group that was opposed to any talk about sex going on at the conference. Oops.

Cold bags, hot pick. Go tap Stan.

That would be awesome, but it would also hurt their sales. If somebody keeps playing a game, that means they're playing an old already-purchased game instead of going out and buying something new. So the publishers want to make sure you get bored of your old games and keep buying new ones...

When you're talking about 25,000 LED's, outdoors, in a warm climate, surrounded by salty air, you're bound to lose a lot of them over the course of 2 years. Much longer than that, it would turn into a bit of a maintenance nightmare.

Your response is essentially the same as mine- why didn't they just use the existing products that are designed for exactly this sort of thing? I used the example of eCue, but there's plenty more I could rattle off the top of my head that could handle 25,000 channels. I did however look at this "Light Sculptor's" web page, and it seems that he's been using this custom software for installations for a while now, so I suppose it's probably the most comfortable thing for him. Designers (or lighting directors, what have you) like to work with what they know, and I guess that's what he knows. Maybe there will also be some sort of interactive or procedural element to the work that you couldn't easily do with pre-viz?

eCue does this stuff already and has been used one plenty of large LED installations. This one involved 20,000 channels, for instance. Not that I really have a problem with using custom software, but I get a little curious why it's being done when there are readily available options that are also relatively inexpensive.

And no, I don't work for eCue, but I use their products. There's several other well established control options for this sort of thing as well, I'm just talking about what I know.

She has the mental and physical age of a 1 year old. TFA made it sort of sound like she grew to age 5 and stopped growing, but no, she was like a 1 year old at age 5 and stayed there. So says this article, on the same web site as TFA... and Wikipedia agrees....

Well, in one of the articles that's linked to by TFA, it gives the example that her bones seem to be aging slower than a normal person but faster than her appearance. It's in the paragraph below the video of this article.

In any case, it seems she's had quite a few medical maladies and sometimes has shown remarkable power to recover. I bet the doctors working on her case are just salivating over the journal articles they'll be publishing once they figure anything out.

I think there might be some folks in Mexico that would take issue with that statement. Sure, it's our war, but we've made it international.

As a counterpoint (from your own link) there's this page.....
