I hope whoever wins is slightly knowledgable about the SE and inquires about the versions.

Well, then let’s hope that Gary Kurtz and Marcia Lucas win the tickets for the ANH screening 😉

Gary will cringe during the CGI Jabba scene and Marcia will mourn about what happened to her Oscar-honored Cut of Star Wars.

[George and Kathy enter the screening room]

George [points at Marcia and talks to Kathy]: I told you not to admit her!

Marcia: I must be allowed to speak.

Kathy: George c’mon get over it. She must be allowed to speak.

George [grabs Kathy by the throat]: You weak-minded Disney puppet. She’s using an old ex-wife mind trick.

Gary: George you will bring the Theatrical Cuts of Star Wars and Empire to us …, and Jedi too.

George [laughs]: Your producers wisdom will not work on me anymore.

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

This is my curse. Every single time there is even a remote chance of this my hopes perk up, and are dashed. Again and Again this happens, and it is the worst feeling. I won’t become certain other members and give up hope, (after all rebellions are built on Hope), but being slashed repeatedly, it’s upsetting.

It helps if you don’t get worked up about small things like “a special GMA announcement.”

The July 28th rumor probably has nothing to do with Star Wars.

I’m starting to think I-VI will never be widely re-released theatrically, at least not like the SE was in '97. There are twice as many movies now for one thing, not an easy thing to do on the scale of the '97 release, especially in today’s world.

We’ve already seen things like the roadshow last summer. It really wouldn’t surprise me if they finish converting the OT to 3D in the next year or so. They could show it at conventions as they have the dimensionalized prequels. Also, if there are going to be any I-VIII in-theater marathons on December 15th and Disney once again insists on showing TFA and TLJ in 3D, they would finally have a complete 3D version of I-VI to show as well. I could really see people going for that two years from now during all the hype of what will be “the last movie of the Skywalker saga.”

GMA appeals to the lowest common denominator, it was never going to be the OOT announcement venue.

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?

I realized what one of the surprises is earlier today.

Just like they did at Celebration IV in 2007 for the 30th, they’re probably going to hand out a slice of birthday cake to everyone in attendance.

Which would account for the insistence that you have to be there in the room for it.

Maybe, but that’s not the surprise they’re teasing.

That’s an awful lot of cake. It should at least resemble a giant version of this.

Anyways, the moment of truth is tomorrow. Will we get the OOT or will the crowd get 🍰?

If we get an OOT announcement, I will be nice to the Prequel fans for at least a month.

We’re all going to have to bite our tongues. They’ll all be posting “GOOD! Maybe now those people will STFU.”

Y’know, it occurred to me that in the midst of selling it as the I-VI “saga,” Lucasfilm still showed favoritism toward the OT when they did the roadshow last summer. It wasn’t “the complete saga as George Lucas intended,” it was simply the “classic” originals, albeit in their SE form.

For the longest time, part of my speculation regarding an OOT restoration was that they would avoid favoritism by releasing collector’s editions of the prequels at the same time. The prequel movies would just happen to have “bonus” material like the theatrical TPM or the Imax cut of AotC while the originals would just happen to have the restored theatrical cuts as their “bonus.”

But after the roadshow I’m not so sure that’s how they’d go about it.

Now I’m thinking they may very well just put out a set specifically for the OT, pretty much solely to rectify this OOT situation.

I’m pretty sure there’s more bonus material for the prequels in the complete saga Blu Ray set

That could be a matter of them being made in the DVD age where special features are planned for. That didn’t exist in 1977-1983.

Do the fans who really like the PT care about the other cuts? Aren’t they usually the ones who prefer the SEs, or whatever Lucas’ vision is this week?

I’m under the impression they probably just don’t know much about the changes they’ve made to the movies throughout the years.
