Where is that music at the beginning of the promo (4:40 in the video) from?
The Ascension - James Horner - Cocoon

It’s a “store” selling it.

(though they were no longer selling Despecialized Editions when I checked earlier - which is good news 😃 )
They’re absolutely still selling it. In fact, it’s the ONLY thing that they’re selling.
sure, on bluray.
some laserdisc or tv things on the spleen.
There’s nothing new, though. And that’s what Indy3 was asking about.

That would be interesting to hear the outcome of.
But I suspect the outcome will be “this is the only version that exists and it was never different because we’re Disney”
My main goal is just to raise awareness of this issue. I own a newspaper, have my own national TV show, etc, so I know I’m in a better position than most to raise a stink. Look at it like this: what if Prime Video, Vudu, Itunes, etc had sold Star Wars theatrical editions back in '06 when the limited edition DVDs came out, but years later they were allowed to change them to the special editions without your permission? It’s a very dangerous precedent and while most would assume Vudu’s TOS would give them great leeway here, shockingly, it actually doesn’t. I thought for sure they would have their ass covered in their TOS and couldn’t believe it only stated they had the right to remove access to your purchased content for a limited time.
99% of people won’t care, even if you raise a stink.
What Jesse Owens line?
https://indianajones.fandom.com/wiki/Jesse_Owens
“Jesse Owens was supposed to be mentioned in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade with the Butler’s original line before Jones knocks him out as “If you are a Scottish lord then I am Jesse Owens!” It was changed to Mickey Mouse because the filmmakers thought that many people would be unfamiliar with who Jesse Owens was. The line as originally intended is retained in the film’s novelization.”
The line on the story CD is “Mae West.”
In the theatrical version of Last Crusade, when Donovan is trying to convince the Sultan of Hatay to allow him to move across his land to recover the Grail, he brings the Sultan a chest of gold treasures and says, “Precious valuables, Your Highness, “donated” by some of the finest Jewish families in all of Germany.”
In all subsequent releases of the movie, the word “Jewish” is removed.They simply muted the audio for the duration of the word, which is why there now is a pause between “finest” and “families”.
I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have access to a theatrical print of Last Crusade?
I think you’re mis-remembering. I don’t think it was ever included. It might have just been in a novelization or comic book.
Movies aren’t coming out, and some movies have halted shooting/production. So I just see it for what it is, a corporate cash grab. Logically 3 days won’t make a difference, but then gain logically why do this at all.
Make no mistake, this was a promotional move. They actually had it on the news last night as a full story. Websites have it as a story.
Releasing it early gives them free publicity when there’s nothing else to talk about in the entertainment world.
There definitely are child labor laws, especially for those on sets, so it’s entirely possible that maybe they did it as more of a promotional thing when they had LOTS of Ewoks shown on set.
Are you saying child actors are cheaper than adult actors? 😄
Peter Suschitzky’s cinematography in TESB is one tough act to follow.
Alan Hume actually walked out because he didn’t like how GL was treating Marquand. Alec Mills took over for the last month of production.
I’d genuinely like to know more about these.
With the exception of Warwick Davis, I think most of the Ewoks were played by adults. Child labor laws would have made the shoot even more difficult if all the Ewoks were children.
I know that it’s reddit but someone just posted this in another thread.
I have a feeling there will be another boxed set that will include Rogue One and Solo. I’ll just buy the Original Trilogy separately for now and wait for the next hope.
Never. Gonna. Happen.
Now seeing the listings for the special features on Amazon, it’s even worse than i feared. So most of the special features for the PT & OT will be in Standard def and it’s all what we have already got before. When Disney digitised the archive they uncovered a lot of great stuff, showing snippets on reels at celebration etc. But this is what they are giving us?
I always said that theoretical “huge boxed set with the kitchen sink” was a huge lie.
Apparently the bonus features here clock in the same as the ones included in the digital collection versions. So the only thing new here are the films in 4K (though really even that isn’t new considering they’ve been on Disney+ for months).
Gonna be a no for me.
Same here. First time I’ve ever NOT bought these movies on a new format. What an incredible f*** up.
I said no in 2011 without hesitation, I will say no again in 2020 without hesitation.
The only reason I got that set is because of the deleted scenes. Now there’s no reason.

You must be new here.
Either those bonus discs are going to be a real waste of storage space, or we’re getting a considerable amount of bonus content for the OT and PT that wasn’t on the complete Bluray set, which had just three bonus discs for the six films. The ST stuff will just be the same stuff that came with their recent Bluray releases, I imagine.
kinda mad the standalone 4k release for rise of skywalker doesn’t appear to include a blu-ray bonus disc like the last few films have.
There’s no info about how many discs are included. How do you know?
Well it’s still useful as an aggregator so I don’t have to scour Amazon or a million boards.
Yeah. A million boards aren’t needed.
That’s literally it.
She was also the executive producer of the NPR Star Wars radio drama.
That’s mostly how I knew her name.
Was she ever interviewed about her experiences during those early days. I’m sure she has some incredible stories.
This set will 100% depend on bonus features. I don’t care about the movies because I’ll be able to watch whatever 4K restorations come out.
I can buy Rise separately (which I loved btw). My biggest worry would be TFA. The prequels I don’t care about.
So it all hinges on the bonus features.
You may very well be but the site you’re giving your information to stopped being credible (or relevant) about a decade ago.
I have read a couple of people writing this about TDB. Can you explain the reason you feel this way? I’m curious.
A couple? Pretty much no one respects him anymore.
100% of his news is taken from boards. People find pre-orders on Amazon or other sites, post a thread about it and, within 24 hours, his “sources” are telling him said title is being released.
All of his “sources” are long gone. Home Video departments are being scaled down and combined with digital departments.
And he’s kind’ve a dick.
And I’m sure the Empire of Dreams HD “remaster” will be included, complete with upconverted interviews and replaced film footage.

There’s already videos on the changes.
Tbh TDB doesn’t get any credibility from me. Haven’t for probably close to a decade at this point
Well I hope I’m credible.

Do we get discounts on this new box set if we prove we have bought previous versions (or ‘visions’) many, many, many times before? 😉
No. You just get a button that says “I’ve been duped” in the Star Wars font.
Does not include Rogue One, yet uses a very Rogue One image for the box. Named “The Skywalker Saga”, yet does not use any Skywalkers on the box. Huh.
I don’t agree with your first point but very much agree with the second.
I can only imagine it’s temp artwork until it’s officially announced.
