4K restoration on Star Wars
Time

Iā€™ve had this thought for a while now. They need to re-do/update the CGI in the Star Wars special editions! They need it done badly! Hereā€™s another thought if you take out the extended bullcrap of Luke, Obi-Wan, C-3PO and R2-D2 riding into the Mos Eisley Spaceport and also take out the Jabba scene in the hangar the special edition of A New Hope isnā€™t all that bad even though I still hate that fat-ass Jurassic Park dinosaur that pokes his big ass right in front of the camera as the Stormtroopers goes over to interrogate the gang about the droids.

Iā€™d say there are some important differencesā€¦

They say that you can kinda see Vaderā€™s visage in this poster for The Last Jedi. If the filmmakers are smart theyā€™d feature about as many cool flashback scenes with Vader in them as they possibly can. Vader is a very large part of this whole franchise whether heā€™s alive or dead. On an off-topic side note the porgs look ridiculous.

Anyone else totally disregard Leia being Luke's sister?

Gotta love the (almost) inbreeding implicationsā€¦

On a serious note, yes, it does seem like Lucas was making things up as he went alongā€¦ He may have felt a burden to conjure another ā€œplot twistā€ or ā€œsurpriseā€ like <span class=ā€œItalicsā€>The Empire Strikes Back</span> had for RotJ (or at least attempt to make it as good as the plot twist in ESB).

Yep, Georgie boy was definitely making things up as he went along. He never shouldā€™ve fired Gary Kurtz. Return of the Jedi was originally going to be about as dark as The Empire Strikes Back but George scrapped that idea much to my chagrin. Instead they went with the version of episode 6 that follows a lot of the same beats as episode 4 does. Itā€™s also quite similar to episode 7. Too much repetition in this saga if ya ask me.
