Who said demand? It was a proposed bet. Is English not your first language?

You are making a bet based on something that you have no authority over. Presumably you’d request that the person who lost (unless it was you, of course) would get IP banned. I don’t even know why I’m wasting my time with this discussion. All you do is threadcrap, insult, and be a hypocrite.

No, see that’s now how bets work. The loser would voluntarily ask for and accept their own ban.

Have you ever made a bet before?

Man, another (almost) two weeks of this infighting?

It will probably be 3 more years. Because when it doesn’t happen in 2 weeks, Moviefreak will just swear it’s going to come out in 2020.

Empty bluffing. Nobody is getting banned over a silly bet. There are easier ways…

I hope fans at Celebration treat Hayden with respect. He’s really not a bad actor or guy, and he’s a fellow Star Wars fan when we get down to it.

I would have thought the kind of people who go to Celebration love him and the PT unconditionally.

Not to mention the Rebel base temple in Rogue 1 is based off the SE temple not the original.

Aside from the initial view of the hangar entrance, did they really change the temple in the SE? I thought what we saw in R1 were areas of the base that were “off camera” in the original film.

I was referring to the exterior.

We’ll probably have some sweet 35mm fan restorations by 2020 though. Star Wars 4K77 and works of the sort.

I hope so, I’m grateful for what we have do have. But I think the goal is still to get Disney and LFL to release an official, high quality version of the original films.

Right. All we can do is speculate and perhaps start another petition but I’m 101% sure Disney and Fox know we want the OOT

The more I think about it, the more I think Hayden is going for the money. He’s getting six figures for a weekend and his autograph/photo ops had a set number available. Its a good gig and he can work it to make a bunch of money for relatively little effort by doing more cons. If he has sense to be really nice and warm to the fans.

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

How do you know he’s making 6 figures? He seems to have really shied away from Hollywood since doing the prequels. I’m surprised he’s even agreeing to the show. I did very much enjoy him in Shattered Glass and Life As A House.

Hayden’s getting at least 100K for this event, possibly more like 250K. He’s at least Matt Smith level nerd-royalty.

Sounds like a nice gravy train to be on. Would explain why Danny Lloyd, (who was little Danny in The Shining) has been doing horror cons lately. He had been living a pretty quiet life very far away from Hollywood all these years.

Even Jake Lloyd attended lots of Fan Conventions in all those years despite his experience with the Star Wars fandom. Money is a strong … ‘force’ 😉

Rogue One is redundant. Just play the first mission of DARK FORCES.

I’ve never sworn anything.

In Alderaan’s mind there are only two types of people, those who are convinced it will happen and those who are convinced it won’t happen. Never mind the vast majority of us who think it might happen but aren’t convinced either way.

Could someone here please point me to the last post about a 4k restoration? I believe I missed it in the last twenty pages…

It’s already been settled that it was a 4k scan of the SEs.

Just to add to the post about the 4k scans, there are samples of the tests on the Scans for Star Wars, and Empire Strikes Back.

Both samples have grain reduction tests, and some are grayscale. The colors have been altered from the GOUT.

These were shown at several trade shows, and other industry shows which was the source of them.

Was that the extent of it? No mention of which version?
