I have updated the first post with a link to the completed games thread.

Congrats on the release!

I am almost afraid to ask this... but this IS still being developed in AGS right? (In a way it's a compliment 'cause I can't tell)

Excellent!

Glad to hear it.

Carry on!

I don't know.  I'd never seen it; it was just a hunch.  Oh well, I guess I'm up again.

It's one of those movies that's so horrible it's great.

It's worth watching if you can find it!

Haha well that didn't take long!

I guess "tad" easier should have been "give away" easier

I think my last one was a little too hard.  Gonna go with a tad easier one this time:

I've been holding off but since nobody is guessing it I'll take a stab...

The Conversation?

I think Disney has said they are not taking anything EU into account with their new movies.

I can't say I blame them.

I liked a small portion of the EU but I thought most of it was not-so-good.

I am actually finding myself really pumped for Rogue One.

It's nice to see my idea realized in movie form! Also; it's great to see the Star Wars (time era) I grew up with back with modern effects. I'm also quite intrigued (if a tad saddened) to hear the first Star Wars movie not scored by John Williams.

I'm not sure why "finding a case of first reference" (if you distrust that wiki) matters or really what it means.

It's not that hard to understand. I want to know if they stoleborrowed my idea.

That YouTube vid is the first case (assuming it was not an updated version of the game after 2003) where I see it in something by Lucas Arts pre-2003.

I still think it's a global conspiracy where they've gone back and altered the data in the past to cover their tracks.

Well that's the first time I have seen something definitively refer to it as Despayre before my reference. Even if it's not "canon".

It's odd because I can't find another reference that specifically states the first time the name was used (officially) and I very specifically remember coming up with the name on my own.  Oh well... I still think they stole my idea. I will concede the [very tiny and remote] possibility that I came up with it on my own by subconsciously remembering having read it previously but, given how hard it is to find a case of "first reference", I don't think that likely.

It's going to completely freak everyone out if there turns out to be a character called Darth Mandarb in this movie!!

Wouldn't surprise me since they yanked all my other ideas as well

Yeah but I think, as near as I can tell, all references to it before Revenge of the Sith (2005,after my thread) refer to it as Horuz. It wasn't until they were going to show it at the end of ep3 that it would have been referred to as Despayre. Unless I'm reading that wrong.

[Rebel Spy]

What surprises me the most is that they obviously visited the AGS boards to get some inspiration for this movie!

Here is my (long-dead) GiP thread for Rebel Spy. Take notice that it was from March of 2003 and hasn't been edited.

Now the concept of showing the rebels that stole the Death Star plans isn't too hard to come up with but I called (came up with on my own) the planet the Death Star was being built over Despayre (despair, the opposite of hope)... that's what they now call the planet in Rogue One. Exact same spelling too.

I will concede it's possible the planet was called that in canon before I thought of the name for my game but it seems awfully unlikely to me. I tried to find the first known usage of it (in canon) but couldn't really find anything conclusive. I found a few things about it being called something else previously (in games, etc) but that it was listed as "in error" and now it's called Despayre.

Now I'm not asking for much... just a writing credit on Rogue One would be nice

That gripe aside I am really looking forward to the movie. That scene (in the trailer) with the AT-ATs was so cool!

Great!

Congrats on finishing, it looks amazing!

No problem

Congrats on finishing!

[game's production complete]

Is this game's production complete?

[completed games]

So is the game's production complete? I don't see a completed games thread for it...

After reading the forum rules...

You are now my new favorite GiP author!

The screenshots simply have to appear as they would in-game but don't actually have to show AGS frames/borders! I applaud the literal approach to the forum rules though! /end moderation

I think the game sounds quite interesting and, visually, looks quite unique.

Good luck with the production!

I know, and rather liked, that movie GG!

It's been ages since I saw it though...

However, since I just "hosted" the last one, I shall refrain from answering and let somebody else have it!

[YES]

Jake Speed?

YES!

I'm really glad somebody got it!

And yes that's Karen Kopins. My clue, earlier, was in reference to her role in Once Bitten with Jim Carrey.

Love At First Bite?

Negative!

I have had this theory that my buddy Tony and I are the only two people who remember this movie... I am beginning to think my theory may just be correct!

Supplemental Clue; my previous clue has nothing to do with the movie pictured in the screenshots (it relates to the actress' role in another movie).

Is there a time-limit where I have to just say what it is?
