40th of the franchise overall and not the specific film brings up two big surprise announcement possibilities:
- no OOT release
Well, that sure would be a downer if the “surprise announcement” was, "No OOT Release!!!"
Why even bother announcing anyway, those big meanies??
Hey, at least we’d KNOW they got no interest in this and we can start trying to talk Mike into releasing Legacy on his own.
I don’t see how they duck the issue really. Any explanation they come up with short of Fox being a problem is going to sound pretty weak.

Easy. No one on panel will bring it up, and they will be prepared with some noncommittal claptrap in the event they get a question on the topic (assuming they even take unscripted questions from the audience).
Can we have Billie and Gary instead? They can represent Carrie Fisher.
My hopes for an OOT announcement dropped.
It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher
I don’t see how the panel being about the franchise and not the movie has anything to do with whether or not they will release the OOT.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
Hayden is just there to announce he and Ewan will be staring in the standalone Obi-Wan film set between II and III, obviously.

I’m hoping Hayden just needs some of that lucrative autograph/photo op money. Now that I think of it, wasn’t he upset Lucas put his face in Jedi without his knowledge? I’m ok with him going to the con- as long as he isn’t in The Last Jedi.

Lol people dislike Hayden so much that they think he’s the harbinger of bad news
News flash: he is the harbinger of bad news.

He is in it.

As long as he acts good in it, I’m fine with that. I’ll still be able to separate the sequel trilogy from the prequels. Not a big deal to me.

So is you a-trollin’, or is you a-spoilin Ep. 8 stuff in this thread?
Cuz I’m all fer some good trollin’, but that spoilin’ business really sours my moonshine…
The movie isn’t even out yet. There’s no way to know.
The convention panel really seems like a weird place to have a big announcement about the OT since it’s all about how everything is awesome, always has been, and restoring the OT is like admitting a mistake. (I’m still holding out hope for it to show up in some way, in some overpriced box set of “rarities” or whatever. Maybe they’d announce that during one of the merchandising panels)
Please be joking…
I think he’s saying "it’s all OT except Hyden."
But, I’m not sure because the Lady and the Hat don’t have anything to do with the OT.
Ladies don’t know anything about Star Wars, who are they trying to kid.
I think (baselessly speculate) he could be the harbinger of same-old SE business. I mean, would he really be on a panel where they announce his removal from a film he was previously put into?

I think we’re reading too much into this, by which I mean anything.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
I really don’t think an OUT release has to be framed as something that banishes the SE. I think it’s most likely that it would be packaged with the SE and billed as bonus material.

Damn people here are being ridiculously negative. Granted, can’t blame anyone for being jaded after all this time. But I really think there is a very, very strong chance it’s finally happening this year. Have zero clue how Hayden being involved or anything changes that. More likely he’ll be part of the next movie as rumored.
And besides, your logic doesn’t really hold up - if everything is awesome and always has been, that would include the originals, no? And George changing them would be admitting a mistake. Simply putting them out again to honor and celebrate the 40th anniversary of the theatrical release would not be admitting a mistake at all, just giving the fans what they want. And unless it completely replaced the SEs and they were discontinued, it wouldn’t even be insulting George, who eventually released the GOUT himself. They don’t have to insult the SEs to release the OUT.

Or, you know, it could mean absolutely nothing except the fact he was an actor who played the main character in two Star Wars movies.

He is a good actor. His performance in Shattered Glass was excellent. He also was pretty good as a troubled teen in Life As A House, filmed between AOTC and ROTS. He almost looks like a Goth Sith in the first half though.
Where were you in '77?

Uh, you know, I never excluded that possibility. I simply said that if it means anything at all, it’s more likely that it means that than anything about the OUT.
Jesus fucking Christ does EVERYONE have to be a jackass around here at all times? Is that a rule? Because if so I must have missed it. I’ll make sure to be a sarcastic prick every time I talk to everyone here from now on.
Play nice, kids.
