The incredible story of how a Star Wars fans preserved the only footage of ATTACK OF THE CLONES in IMAX…..
“When George Lucas‘ “Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones” was given an IMAX 70mm release in the fall of 2002, audiences saw a different version of the movie than what had been seen before — or would ever be seen again. Due to the format’s space limitations at the time — IMAX 70mm film platters would only hold two hours of celluloid — the movie was cut down by about 20 minutes, and the entire movie was reframed from the 2.40:1 aspect ratio of the original release to a Lucas-approved 1.81:1 designed to take maximum advantage of the IMAX screen.
Footage from the 1.81:1 version of “Clones” hasn’t been seen since the 2002 IMAX release. When filmmaker V. Trent came into possession of an IMAX 70mm trailer for the film, he knew he had something special. “Presumably due to the heavy restrictions from Lucasfilm Ltd. in 2002, the IMAX feature prints of ‘Episode II’ are now nonexistent,” Trent told IndieWire. “To have a visual archive of the 1.81:1 IMAX aspect ratio is incredible.””

Happy birthday to Vaughn Armstrong, who has played twelve different characters over four different Star Trek series—and is probably best known as Enterprise's Admiral Forrest.

On his birthday, remembering William Schallert, who played Nilz Baris in the classic original series episode "The Trouble With Tribbles" and then—26 years later—Varani in Deep Space Nine's "Sanctuary."

Happy birthday to Ronald D. Moore, whose script "The Bonding" led to him becoming a staff writer on Next Gen. He was a writer & executive producer on TNG, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager (briefly), and appeared in Vic's lounge in the final DS9 episode.
#StarTrek
Happy birthday to Don Stark, probably best known as Bob Pinciotti on That '70s Show (which co-starred Kurtwood Smith, a multiple-time Trek guest star). He played Ashrock in Deep Space Nine's "Melora" and holodeck character Nicky the Nose in Star Trek: First Contact.

Quantic Dream has released a statement about STAR WARS: ECLIPSE
“As previously stated, the development of Star Wars Eclipse remains unaffected by the recent closure of Spellcasters Chronicles, a decision driven by the challenging market conditions in that segment.
The development of Star Wars Eclipse is continuing as planned, with the full commitment of its team and all the necessary resources to complete its mission.
Our priority is to ensure that employees affected by the restructuring process receive the appropriate support, care, and consideration. Out of respect for this ongoing process and for the employees concerned, we will not provide any further comment at this stage."
