They airbrushed the microphone out too. Maybe to erase a signature on a version that was for sale. Funnily enough some copies online have this version and then added their own watermarks over that, editing it further.

In a major story over on The Digital Bits, the outlet reports that Disney and Sony have just done a major deal that will see Sony Pictures Home Entertainment take over all of Disney’s physical media production going forward.

The hope is that if this can lead to Disney releasing films more efficiently on disc, they may start releasing more of them. Unfortunately it’s doubtful they’ll come back to markets they’ve abandoned (eg. Australia).

Ah Captain Zuvio I remember that guy, what a memorable character 😄

Anyway here’s a brief bit of info about that whole ‘extra hour’ thing:

Yeah but what I mean is in a hypothetical three hour version someone here will have tried to use all those scenes by now, check the sequel trilogy edits index by OOJason. I don’t think that much unused material has been released though.

They didn’t do anything worthwhile with the dyad in the last movie, it’s hard to imagine that it would be worthwhile now. Kylo Ren, aka the only person with characterisation, is still dead. I would imagine they’re going to ignore this whole idea and try another soft reboot. If it ever gets to production.

I’m sure it’s in one of the many TFA edits out there.

It’s perfectly aligned with the frame and has a string of perforations on one edge. So a physical object of some kind, surely?

A quick search of Attack of the Clones film cells for sale shows that they have a strip this same teal color along the edges (part of the audio). But the reason for this artefact will have to be explained by someone else.

Razor Crest looks pretty cosy.

This just in…actor is excited for work. 😶

Excited for that pay day. I kid, I have nothing against Daisy, I just don’t have any faith in the production.

RIP. Here’s an 2017 interview from back when Jamie Stangroom’s channel was more properly focused on bit parts and other SW faces, instead of whatever is going on these days.

Anyway, back on topic.

Ridley Talks Future “Star Wars” Excitement

"I was like, ‘It’s wonderful.’ It’s wonderful to be part of something that people love and to play a character that people… It’s so weird.

It’s really making me emotional thinking about it. I get to have more adventures. I’m like, ‘Where is she now? What is this new adventure and how are things going to go?’ That’s a long way of saying it’s great. It’s really great.”

I must admit that is a very nice Ghost playset, but these prices? Yikes.

Looks pretty good, hopefully they keep up the consistency. Ventress should probably have been used elsewhere though instead of having to share part of this storyline.

What’s her shoulder emblem?

Any complex examination of Andor is probably best left until season two ends. We don’t know how much the whole post ROTJ world Disney has set up, aka New Republic Dumb Now, will have to be catered to. Hopefully no real kinda set up but here we are.

This random discussion appeared in the main Despecialized thread and I thought it was worth sharing around.

There’s a recent post on fanedits Reddit page about Despecialized having been mentioned on a recent Conan O’Brian podcast. Hmmm…

I haven’t actually watched it to confirm, but I think it might be this:

For everyone, it’s at 7:28 into the video that the despecialized movies are mentioned. The whole Star Wars bit starts at 4:55.

Oh right those still exist… allegedly. Still, very odd they’re talking about a Rey cameo but so far nothing else.

Wow that’s pretty strange. I mean the others at least have a basic premise.

Wait a second… what is Levy’s SW movie? I feel like I’ve lost the thread of who’s in and who’s quit now.

Interesting reading, and some good cross overs with the ‘Revisionist Time Traveler’ thread in a few places.

So wait for the finale to stream is what they’re saying right.

A prequel trilogy where Anakin is going on Luke’s journey would work. Then his fall could be offscreen, keeping the twists intact.

Deepfake Luke is a horrible proposal because it will probably look like Indy 5, but it’s also inevitable I suppose. I wonder if it will actually go forward and be a movie though? It could end up like Boba Fett, Obi-wan or whatever is going on with Lando (if anything). It’s more likely to be a feature film than anything with Rey though, which could vanish like previously rumored projects.

It will also be interesting to see if anyone in the general audience is enthusiastic. After all, these properties are like Pixar movies now; streaming at home experiences first and foremost. Didn’t Bob Iger say something about not watering down the brands… but there are still all these titles in pre-production at the same time.

That is… weird. I will just wait and see if it actually makes it do production, like all this other stuff.
