Old Goku by Akira Toriyama, 1989: โThat's why I don't really know when Dragon Ball will end or what will happen in the future. Maybe Goku will end up becoming an old man like thisโฆโ
Old Goku by Toyotaro, 2026: โBack in 1989, Toriyama sensei drew an art of an elderly Goku in the Dragon Ball Z Anime Special book, joking ยซwhen Dragon Ball will end Goku might end up becoming an old man like thisโฆยป.
37 years laterโฆ Dragon Ball is still not over in 2026!
Mr. Toriyama! The day may come when we can see Goku in this form!โ
The version of Star Wars returning to theaters on February 19, 2027 is the one George Lucas spent nearly thirty years insisting could never be shown again.
This is the genuine 1977 theatrical cut, newly restored. Han shoots first. There is no CGI Jabba slithering around Mos Eisley. None of the Special Edition additions Lucas folded in starting in 1997 are present. It is the first proper theatrical run of the original film in over forty years, confirmed on the official Star Wars site.
What makes that remarkable is how hard Lucas worked to bury it. After the 1997 Special Editions, he said repeatedly that the altered versions were the only ones he recognized. He compared his right to keep changing the film to Michelangelo deciding to repaint part of the Sistine Chapel.
His stated reason it could never come back was technical. He said the original camera negative had been physically cut apart to assemble the Special Edition, which made a true restoration of the 1977 version impossible.
So for almost three decades, every official release carried Special Edition material. The one time the original cut appeared on DVD, in 2006, it was a low-resolution transfer pulled from an old laserdisc master, slipped out as a bonus disc with no restoration at all.
The best way to watch the real 1977 Star Wars became a fan project. One team tracked down an actual 35mm theatrical print through a seller in Spain and scanned it frame by frame, cleaning every speck of dirt by hand over several years, because the studio that owned the film would not.
The 2027 restoration quietly proves it was always possible with the technology that existed the whole time. What had been standing in the way was ownership. Lucas controlled the film and did not want this version seen, and that only changed when he sold Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012 for four billion dollars.
The 50th anniversary celebration everyone is sharing is, underneath the nostalgia, a studio releasing the exact version the film's creator spent his life trying to paint over, now that he is no longer the one holding the brush.
NEW: Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert just pulled off one of the strangest plays in MLB historyโฆ
A 107.8 mph line drive slammed straight into his jersey and got completely lodged there.
It took him a few seconds to figure out where the ball even went.
The play was ruled a single because the ball was considered dead once it stuck in his uniform.
First time thatโs ever happened in the majors. Wild.
Uniracers is a technical marvel, maintaining its speed when most other SNES games would start chugging.
It's also a fascinating story.
In 1994 shortly after the game launched, Pixar of all companies sued DMA Design, claiming the Unicycles ripped off their 1987 short Red's Dream.
Pixar ultimately won (or the publisher, Nintendo settled) and the game was ordered to cease production after only 300,000 copies were made. Pixar had a point, the Unicycles looked similar. They're also unicycles. Once you animate those, there's not many differences that will happen.
Interestingly enough, this whole legal debacle was a shift in direction for the Lemmings developer. Uniracers was their pitch and Nintendo loved it. If Pixar hadn't pulled the rug out from under them, they would have their own pillar under Nintendo's flag.
Without Uniracers, DMA had to start over without their family-friendly franchise. Nintendo wanted them on the Ultra 64, but it soon became clear to both companies that only one of them was interested in making a cute N64 mascot.
Body Harvest is a little tale on its own, but the funniest part of the story is how DMA Design started working on this small PC game called Race n' Chase at the same time.
DMA Design released Grand Theft Auto in 1997, rebranding into Rockstar North after releasing GTA 3.
If Pixar hadn't done a Disney, we might be Uniracing in Mario Kart World right now.
Meanwhile #GrandTheftAuto might be nothing more than a spark in David Jones' eye.
Probably not, but it's fascinating speculation.
Also this game is dope.
Crown shyness is a phenomenon where the top branches of neighboring trees avoid touching to stay safe, leaving visible jigsaw like gaps between their crowns.
