The fact that this ad implies that it's coming from a digital source pretty much assures that it's the SE. I doubt a restaurant in Hillcrest is just going to happen to have a film projector, anyway; the area is just packed with trendy clubs, so I can't imagine this space being too large.

I doubt they'd fire up the GOUT on those HDTVs of theirs, so unless they're going with a fan edit, it's all but sure they're going with one of the SEs.

Well, personally, I have my thoughts against Lucasfilm having the ability to shut down a harmless showing of the greatest film of all time...but it probably will be of some Special Edition version so...SHUT IT DOWN!! lol

A part of me secretly sees George and his boys leaving the showing alone if its the 2011 Blu Ray version, but suing and shutting down the restaurant down permanently if it was (somehow) the original '77.  I guess I just don't see George as a good person anymore...

Last year Lucasfilm shut down a screening at a bar, and it was the SE. They weren't charging admission or anything, but LFL said it was illegal. It's a bit grey but usually not a problem. Pizza shops and bars often have TVs for sports, movies, whatever--a great pizza shop I used to go to had AMC on all the time, so I got to eat really good pizza and watch classic movies. Lucasfilm are really generous sometimes and other times they are complete assholes.

Interesting. In what ways have they been atypically generous?

The continued existance of the site for one. A lawyer could shut this place down in the matter of a day, and possibly prosecute many of us. It wouldn't be right, but the US justice system is a farce once corporate interests are at stake.

Whenever I read Brian Daley's Han Solo books, The Corporate Sector Authority always makes me think of the possible future of the US.  :(
