BREAKING NEWS: Facebook Page Retro Star Wars Closed - Sad Day For Fans.

Image
By


Popular Star Wars Facebook page, Retro Star Wars has been closed.  Details are still unknown why this has happened but it does appear that a lot of fan pages have been closed over the last few days.

Retro Star Wars was closing in on one hundred thousand likes and was extremely popular with fans.  Being one of the admins for the page I will personally miss the page and the close community that was forged.

...as if a million voices cried out...

UPDATE
An Appeal is in progress and we will keep you updated.  We contacted Lucasfilm who were as surprised as we were.  They are very much against fan pages being closed.  It appears at this time that Facebook are behind these closures.

    Sounds like Disney wasn't finished executing Order 66. Sad day for fans.

    Why would FaceBook do this? Were the other fan pages also Star Wars related, or maybe Disney related?

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene.  Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie.  It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen.  First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne.  Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened.  It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut.  One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door.  Why the sudden cut?  It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions.  Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist?  Watch the clip below to see the cut: Well, the ans
