Perhaps it was voluntary or something? Somebody has to pack them up and ship them back, and if the studio isn’t picking up the tab, a store might just blow it off?

I doubt the studio cared about used copies. I got Star Wars at FYE and Empire and a local place. Jedi I found new, but that was the week the blu rays came out so maybe. I can imagine the employees not giving a crap.

I have to get this off my chest, I wasn’t an OOT purist until 2011 and the Jedi Noooo bs. I had all the movies on DVD (SE of the OT), I even bought season one of the Clone Wars! I am so ashamed.

It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher

As someone who has hated the SEs from Day 1, I can say you have nothing to be ashamed about. There’s no difference between us, as long you grew up or came to your senses at some point and realized how truly deplorable those POS abominations are.

Maybe there will be a new SE where Vader storms the Blockade Runner instead of sending in his troops first. You know, to match that stupid Rogue One ending movie.

This is getting out of hand. Now, there are two three of them.

Three of what?

Sorry, missed it. Took special offense at being linked to a guy who considers the '97 SE the definitive version. Should report you for that, actually.

For the record Duracell, I’m trolling you with both of those posts.

We didn’t see Vader board the ship in R1. The troops could have come in first. It was a much larger ship, and badly damaged. The troops had probably fanned out searching everywhere, and Vader found the fleeing rebels first.
The Blockade Runner was captured, mostly intact, and resistance was to be expected.

For further critiques of R1, take it the the appropriate thread.

Who is that guy? I said I like 97 SE, not that I consider them definitive. There are things I do not like about 97 SE too.

Alderaan + Mala + You = 3 Rogue One detractors

Specifically, I’m referring to people who thread-crap about How stupid and awful Rogue One is.

Sorry, I try to stay out of the new film threads to not hijack them with negative comments

Fink, is there something wrong with your brain? This is at least the third or fourth thread that is not a new film thread where you’ve cross posted a quote that is not relevant, then laughed like an insane person at your own joke.

At this point, I’m going to have to ask a moderator to step in and put an end to your belligerent behavior. Actually, it’s for your own good.

As I said previously, the “new thread” part of the quote is the least important part. The point is that you continue to shitpost across the entire forum, despite the fact that you “don’t want to hijack with negative comments.” In fact, it’s even worse when you do it in threads that are completely unrelated, so maybe your brain is the one with the problem. I’m glad you want to get the mods involved, maybe they’ll make you stop shitposting on every goddamn thread here.

And I’m not laughing at my own joke, I’m laughing at how fucking dumb you sound every time you take a shit on the new movies in threads that have nothing to do with them.

As I mentioned and as other posters have mentioned, this is at least the third or fourth thread that is not a new films thread, where other topics have been discussed (such as the lack of OT release and SE inferiority in this thread) where you have taken disagreements with me over the really bad Disney films and hijacked the thread to continue your personal grudge.

Simply, you are acting like a petulant child.

Hard Rules:

Breaking the following rules will result in an immediate and permanent ban with no prior warning:

  1. Do not harass other members, either publicly or via PM. Any unwanted contact after a request to stay away will be considered harassment.

Consider this–especially that last sentence–your friendly warning.

Lol, thanks for your charity, and for completely ignoring what I wrote.

If the moderators agree with my position you will no longer be hearing from me about it, you’ll be hearing from them. If they want to let you keep posting about how much you hate the new films in every thread, related to those films or not, and if they decide you are free to run amok and I am not allowed to call you out for it, that’s their choice and I’ll live with it.

This is not a warning, I’ve already asked for a decision to be made. I’ll abide by whatever it is.

Good. I gave you a warning, and you decided to ignore it. I’m sure you can figure out what that means.

Sooooo Frink pointing out hypocrisy is harassment, but slinging threats of moderation action and banning him isn’t?

…ok

What, a man builds a giant mound of dirt in his house and you aren’t entertained?

I asked him to stop harassing me across multiple unrelated threads. He chose to ignore my request, or apologize, or simply move on. Instead he did the typical Frink thing, which was try and get in the last word, and threaten me instead.

Anyone can go and look for themselves that in multiple threads, some of us were discussing various other things: the lack of OOT, the quality of the DVD releases, Disney bots, SE alterations, you name it, and there was Frink popping in with the same out-of-context cross-post, followed by only “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA”. When other users pointed out that the threads were not new film threads, nor were the new films even being discussed, he did another typical Frink thing, which was to try and backtrack, like the junior high kid who trips over his own feet and then tries to play it off like he meant to do that all along.

I mean, it’s not even my style to go this route. Frink and I have not gotten along or often agreed with each other, but that’s what happens in the world sometimes. I let him take his shots at me whenever he wants as long as he’s not abusing the forum, and I’m sure he’s done the same with me. At some point though, he’s just acting so ridiculous, that I asked him to stop. Instead, he threatened me, so c’est la vie.

ETA: this is the last post of mine on this topic, since it’s a complete derail, and not relevant to the thread. Carry on.

No, he didn’t.
