It’s hard to see it.

Yes, that’s why no one noticed it until recently

A major source is the time they showed the original scene on Entertainment Tonight in 1997 during the run-up to the release of the Special Edition. That’s why the shows credits impinge on the scene.

So, when the Empire investigates what happened on Mina-Rau…

• Are they going to be able to recognize Brasso as being involved in the Ferrix funeral riot?

• Are they going to recognize B2EMO as the droid that projected the speech on Ferrix?

• Are they going to find all their guns?

• Are they going to find their radio?

• The appearance of the stolen TIE-Avenger prototype will surely draw attention. Does the Empire know it was Cassian that stole it?

Maybe Cassian should’ve spent more time in the main story as opposed to lost in a side quest on Yavin for a couple episodes…

Which is exactly why I have the same problem with this season as I had with season one. WAY too much time spent doing nothing. We spent two episodes in S1 building stick & mud models of the ship hanger and two more episodes building parts of the Death Star (come on, we all new immediately that’s what they were building).

I think the extended time on Narkina really built the feeling of oppressive atmosphere, just as the buildup to the heist built the tension.

This season we’ve already spent two episodes watching knuckleheads stranded in the jungle argue and play rock-paper-scissors.

My take-away from all that was how badly they need a military structure, chain of command, etc. I assume Cassian took this lesson as well and will be working on reforming the various cells.

And don’t get me started on the episode wasted on watching the young couple Baroque dancing for 20 minutes.

I did think that went on a little long

WTF? The saving grace is that many of those scenes had Genevieve O’Reilly, who I find gorgeous. That said, I could have done without 10 minutes of her at a rave.

I thought maybe there was a little too much rave, but overall it was about showing Mon totally losing it, unable to do anything but hide in drink & dance from the reality of what’s going on

The same critics also said TLJ was the best Star Wars movie ever too…

I can not find a review online of The Last Jedi by Nicholas Quah. Do you have a source you can cite?

This thread has maybe gone off topic

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

The gantry shot is great!

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.

Yeah, he just doesn’t post often. But he is still here.

I worry he won’t go far enough, but then I worry he’s not up to the task as we’ve only seen him work on already-very-good movies, but then I think if anyone can…well, anyway

I assume this is so they can make a new series called “Grogu” after they kill Mando off

Didn’t Adam work for ILM?

Yes, in the late 90s, early 2000s. Check under “Visual Effects” on IMDb, but he did some model stuff on TPM and a bunch of model work on AOTC.

In the middle of this UK food/Sonic the Hedgehog video, Ben Schwartz talks about writing Threepio jokes for TROS: https://youtu.be/9gWjojdejQc?t=729

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.

Clarity of Cal - Vulfpeck, 2025

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 think it’s the lighting. I’m impressed with how well her hairs are showing up in front of the greenscreen background, but the lighting is bad. I do not know enough to say more than that.

Also the double establishing shot is weird and both of them are bad

The moped chase has got to be the answer. But if I had to choose from the films, the dishonor would go to the whole casino planet sequence in TLJ (except for the music)

Fan_edit_fan said:

Yeah the song in the trailer was CRINGE…but the season looks fantastic. Why couldn’t they just put orchestral SW music in the trailer? Disney is soo tone deaf

It’s a trailer for people who haven’t seen Season 1, who aren’t Star Wars fans, to try to get them interested.

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?

https://youtu.be/x3rAbX9Wprg?si=CTEBzDStBL4NCxhd

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

I would certainly miss hearing “Yotoh…yotoh”

In all seriousness, it’s a great scene

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.
