If you won the game on hard it's revealed he fakes his death to lie low. The whole Shadows thing was pretty weird. It was hyped up to be akin to releasing a new movie and came with its own soundtrack and toy range. This was repeated somewhat with The Force Unleashed.

It came out early enough in the EU that releasing something set between two movies was considered a big thing.

The funny thing is that pic only barely scratches the surface of how many drat Dr. Pepper knockoffs there are out there. Here's a couple of more obscure local ones that I've personally tried. (Neither of these are my hand btw.)  Dr. Good Guy is awfully hard to find, and after trying it, I can see why. It basically tastes like a crappy knockoff of Dr. Thunder, and since Dr. Thunder is already a pretty mediocre knockoff to begin with, it's really not good at all. The only form I could personally find it in was a two-liter bottle, but after trying a glass of it, I just went and poured the rest down the sink.  Doc Holiday. My first, and so far only, encounter with this one was via the soda fountain at a local diner place (which has since gone out of business, sadly), and it's actually pretty good, mainly because, just like with its packaging, it doesn't try too hard to actually copy Dr. Pepper, instead going more for the general impression of being vaguely similar while doing more of its own thing, which is to say that it's a bit peppery, but has quite a bit of root beer and cherry cola flavor to it, which makes for an all-around surprising-but-nice impression.

Doc Holiday is made by a small Pepsico bottler in the southeastern AZ town where my parents grew up. I remember getting it as a kid when we would visit our grandmother, but it was impossible to find at our house in the Phoenix suburbs.

Isn’t that a negative of the actor in the suit? Because in that sense it makes the “because he dared to dream, and never stopped believing” kind of  Also those “Space Wars” figures are Lego kits from the last year or so, I wonder how much they differ from the “real” ones.

In case anyone was wondering, it's an art piece and not a mass produced product. The 'Spyma' brand name is short for the artist's name, Spymagician Jones.

Holy poo poo I just remembered this one: It's the US release of the Japanese film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. They cut about half an hour from the film and re-edited it to make it a bland action-adventure film with new dialogue that had nothing to do with the original and they also dumped most of the environmentalism angle. You can imagine Miyazaki's reaction when he heard what they'd done.
