Exciting stuff!!!

Do we know if this BFI screening of the 1977 Star Wars will be the same version as the one on the ‘GOUT’ DVD, or are there any differences in the print they’re showing?

If it’s a Technicolor IB print, see the distant past for what that’s like: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Free-farewell-Screening-of-1977-Star-Wars-collectors-print-British-IB-Technicolor/id/11733/page/1

On your February 3rd Facebook post, you said you’d reveal “by the end of the week” what was done to fix the falling gantry, but you never did.

I’ve been following Ady’s work for over a decade now. What I’ve learned is this… “If Adywan says he’s planning to do something, then something will get in his way.”

Have a good read of all his Revisited threads here from the beginning. You will see a man beset by bad luck, faulty equipment, garden fence catastrophe, poor health and family tragedy. But he persists, his work on these edits has almost taken him twenty years.

So assuming he hasn’t been crushed by a falling chandelier, assaulted by a disgruntled chimpanzee, or blinded by an exploding fire extinguisher then updates will be along at some point, I’m sure.

I hope it won’t be long now until ANHR:HD. With how long the Revisited project has taken and all the life challenges Ady’s shared, I sometimes worry if he’ll ever be able to finish everything he envisioned.

I mean we already know that isn’t going to happen since he cancelled his PT:R plans

People can’t help but talk about their hopes for the edit, and then their own ideas, and then the whole thread gets temporarily hijacked into what is effectively someone else’s thread until people point this out. Also people post asking for updates, wondering what the latest is, etc.

George Lucas should get more credit for &quot;saving Anakin Skywalker&quot; in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Time

This debate is pointless.

Lucas deserves even more of the blame for the fact that Anakin (and other things) needed fixing. Doesn’t particularly matter how much credit he should get for fixing things (or even if that was successfully done); it’s like crediting someone for partially filling a hole in when they dug the hole themselves in the first place.

YouTube/Vimeo/etc... Star Wars video finds
Time

I had missed this until now, but Corridor Crew had Todd Varizi on. He worked on ROTS & TFA (and also Star Trek 2009), and they breakdown the combination of CG, miniatures, bluescreened actors, other practical effects, and real footage of lava used for Mustafar, as well as the history of the TIE Fighters Sunset shot in TFA.

I just heard the music track entitled “Obi-Wan’s Revelation” for the first time. Interestingly it was removed from the final film. I’m curious as to people’s opinions on the track and if it should be reinstated?

Does seriously nobody care about this unreleased ROTJ track I found? 😭😂

Sorry dude, not every post gets replies.

But someone has already tried it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFz8W7fYMy4

In the german translation, C-3PO is saying "Lando Calrissian and poor Chewbacca never got out of this palace (“Lando Calrissian und der arme Chewbacca sind aus dieser Burg nie wieder herausgekommen.”)

Translations aren’t always accurate.

I’ve watched enough bad English dubs of Godzilla movies to know that 😄

Yes I know, I just wanted to point out that in the german context, showing Chewbacca in the prison scene first would make sense.

If you want to remove all mystery about his location & fate, sure

Can you elaborate? I see the opposite as true, where it’d add mystery by not revealing his location & fate until we see him when Han does.

Oooh I misunderstood.

Funnily enough, the recent comics have added all kinds of hijinks to Fett’s life between obtaining Solo and delivering him to Jabba.
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Boba_Fett#Hunt_for_Nakano_Lash and everything after that

From what I understand, it is indeed stupid

Considering 3P0 mentions Chewie not coming back as they’re on the way to the palace, would it be feasible to cut the scene of Leia arriving in disguise and handing over Chewie? Just cut straight to her sneaking in to free Han, getting captured, and we first see Chewie as Han arrives in the cell. Makes the plan less convoluted.

I’ve been liking this idea since reading Mac’s big list of ideas actually. Somebody on Facebook came up with a suggestion to begin the film with Slave One arriving on Tattooine delivering Han to Jabba, but I guess we got a decent reveal of Han in Carbonite when the Droids delivered Luke’s message (can it be improved upon? :p)…

No one has ever wondered “How did Han get to Jabba’s Palace???” when Han is revealed on the wall. Such an addition would be bad.

Luke sure made it from the North Pole to an equatorial docking bay dragging a dying giant of an armored man pretty darn quick.

The Emperor has a direct elevator between the Throne Room and a hallways somewhere near that docking bay, though it can also go to Vader’s meditation chamber (location unknown). Unfortunately, this is only found in a few deleted scenes:

Unfortunately, this final scene is the only one that would come close to showing the geometry of this problem, and it’s the only one of those three that’s never been released. Either way, Luke does have to drag Vader down a hallway, which is maybe stretching credulity. On the other hand, he can use the Force.
