One thing to notice about the upper B-wing is the iconic orange circles on the wings. The only B-wings to appear in RotJ actually don’t have these markings, and the scenes involving the prop with the orange circles must have been scrapped due to the difficulty in capturing the thin wings against a blue screen.

Home “ownership” on September, 9th, 2012:

“It is my sad duty to inform you of a four-foot restriction on humanoid height.”

“I hear the directors of Genetic Control have been buying all the properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold. It’s said now that people will be shorter in height; they can fit twice as many in the same building site (they say it’s alright). Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow, in the interest of humanity, they’ve been told they must go—told they must go-go-go-go.”

Ah, ok. So it’s crucial to know that there is an existing type of sandwich just named “East Coast Italian”. That clears it up. Thanks all for answering.

After studying the dome for a bit, here’s what I think happened:

• Pad printing on a hemisphere seems to be done by dropping the pad directly onto the center of the hemisphere. Example here
• Lego pad prints different colors at separate times and with separate pads. Example here briefly at 28 seconds
• The plain Flat Silver dome gets the light blue color printed on it.
• The dome is then tilted out of place a bit due to machine error and receives the Silver print at the wrong location.
• The dome is straightened out but slips out of place downward due to the tilt, so the pad for the Dark Blue print does not come all the way down onto the dome, leaving the neck area nearly free of Dark Blue print and making the Dark Blue print look runny (or “melting off”).
• The dome shifts slightly and receives the Black print and the Dark Pink print (not concurrently)

This sequence accounts for how the colors of paint are layered as well as the drift of print misalignment.

R2’s bottom hole is clean 😏

I noticed the dent at the back of his neck too. The figure was packaged disassembled, so maybe the white piece incurred that damage while in transit?

Person 1 saying “haha” makes them a hypocrite if the words of the ancient stone frog are to be interpreted as being said by Person 1. Person 2 spoke their line with no braggadocio.

What hard and fast rules described in my comment do you take issue with?

On the contrary, that should convince them that Lemmy has as much content as Reddit!

I don’t think the math checks out on that.

While quantity of content is essential for a community like this, many Reddit refugees, myself included, turned to Lemmy due to Reddit’s changes which empower repost bots that regurgitate content in high quantities but the quality of the content is diminished by it being reposted content that the audience has probably already (even more so diminished if it is uncredited).

Your Lemmy posts with an i.redd.it link or a preview.redd.it link don’t directly link to a page that identifies the OP. While there is a button on the page that should connect to the original post, this button instead takes users to the App Store (or equivalent) to install the Reddit app, even if the Reddit app is already on the device. I’m also just now seeing that the Memmy app for Lemmy does not show when a post is hosted via an i.redd.it link and it instead presents the post content as if it were hosted native to Lemmy, so that is an oversight on my behalf and I see now that I had mistaken some of your posts as being uncredited copies.

Other users are apparently under the impression that content is OC if it is presented this way without a direct identification of the source. This commenter thought you had made the content in the post, and you could have clarified in a reply and said that somebody else made it. Alternatively, being as clear as possible in the title of a post about who made what is the most direct way to avoid that confusion.

What’s the relevance of who discovered the technique? Surely the parts were designed with that geometry in mind. The commenter is asking about the choice of representing the technique by way of bricks made out of bricks.

My attempts at reverse image searches only showed the original Reddit post and your Lemmy post as the only matching results. A good rule of thumb for citations is still noting where you got info from even if you cannot find or identify the primary source.

My point is that even with that indirect link that obscures who the OP is, the audience of the Lemmy post may be prone to assuming that the first person they see posting the content is also the creator of the content unless they see directly stated otherwise.
