Is anyone NOT wearing fur in this flick?

And those boots. I'd hate to be dancing next to that guy.

Actualy, those boots remind me a lot of my snowmobile boots. (Note that I don't actually drive snowmobiles, I just got them because they're really warm). Maybe that guy's like an arctic scout trooper?

Also, weren't snowspeeders Imperial before the rebels took them? Maybe I remember the line wrong, but I thought there were two stormtroopers on Scarif talking like "did you hear that they retired the T-47?" "oh, finally!". Since this movie is before Rogue One, maybe we'll see the Empire using them?

What if I don’t put the stickers in the right place, do I change Han’s entire history?  That’s too much pressure!  That sticker book is hardcore!

In the 70s there were ‘action transfer’ books with over a hundred stickers depicting heroes and villains, weapons and weapons discharges, fires and barricades, all on a clear sheet.

I LOVED these.

I remember having a bandits raiding a stage coach in the Wild West one, and an Assault on Moonbase.

 

From their wiki

Extremely popular at the time,  they consisted of a printed cardboard background image and a transparent sheet of coloured dry transfer figures of people, animals, vehicles, weapons, explosions and so on.  These transfers were supposed to be applied to the background scene by rubbing the top surface of the transparent sheet with a hard object or stylus;  typically, this would mean a ball-point pen or a pencil; the figure would thereby be transferred from its sheet to the background. Since it was not customary to determine exactly where the transfers should be applied,  surreal or comic effects could be achieved—whether deliberately or inadvertently—by juxtaposing the transfers and the background inappropriately.  It was also possible to apply the transfer figures elsewhere than on the supplied background, and conversely it is quite common to come across finished transfer sets in which the descriptive lettering from the sheets has been applied to the background; an effect not intended by the manufacturer.

YES!  They had some in the 80s too.  There was an art to scratching the images to get them to transfer without tearing.

i think the plastic reusable stickers pretty much replaced them later tho.
