There is an image of Rotta the Hutt circulating on social right now. It’s BS. It’s not from the film. Ignore it #TheMandalorian #StarWars

The final image which appeared as the cover to the game was heavily modified by the marketing department, reiterating why I do not make paintings for 'reproduction'.

From 1990, Igor Majstrovsky’s movie poster for the first official release of 1977’s Star Wars in the USSR.

Is that Darth Vader? I assume it is, and very splendidly evil he looks too.

TNG scene. Chief Miles Edward O'Brien, who can pop a wheelie on a unicycle, is standing in the transporter room. O'Brien, who can slam a revolving door, is looking all focused like off at something across the room. O'Brien, who can build a snowman out of rain, is wearing his standard gold uniform and looking fit. Closed caption reads, "Let's get those panels off."

At sunrise, Edoras is a bright speck of gold against the snow-tipped mountains. Aragorn chants a song of the Rohirrim as they ride toward it.

“Where now the horse and the rider?
Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk
and the bright hair flowing?…”

In Futurama, the "Church of Trek" is a fictional, fanatical religion based on Star Trek that caused the "Star Trek Wars," leading to the show being banned and its tapes exiled to Omega 3. Featured in "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" (S4, E11), it highlights obsessive fandom where followers worship the original cast.

I guess you could say I’m religious
