reminder that we don’t have to engage with bad-faith posters at all, the community here is small enough and moderated well enough that simply sidestepping the offending posts and hitting the report button in the meantime is usually all you need to do.

The little thrill that comes in free dunks might feel good at the time but generally just makes the place worse overall.

Well said, although I have to admit reading some of those things gave me brain damage 😅

We’re getting closer to the goods. This makes me wonder though, if 4K77 was designed to be closer to the original colors then why does it look so off?

Even the official UHD release looks more accurate.

Seems like we’ll be getting these new exports for a bit. Apart from the new format obviously, they seem to be lacking the temporary audio and have fewer technical details. Could they possibly be less finished than what we’ve been seeing so far, given some seemingly low contrast on the last one? (or have they just changed the way they’ve gone about showing these).

I wonder how will George Lucas react to this whenever he makes a public statement. He will probably criticise it.

ALI…

This shot looks great, but Han’s looks kind of weird.

Honestly, who cares what he has to say? Like yeah it will be interesting but at the same time, why should we care what he thinks when he doesn’t even care about his own fans? Did he care about what any of us thought of his terrible “revisions”?

And this is coming from somebody who used to defend him as much as possible.

I think Lucas moved on when he sold the franchise and after the Charlie Rose interview in 2015 filmed before the force awakens opened, was his final letting go. He walked away right? he barely wanted any Star Wars in his museum, almost as if he wants nothing to do with Star Wars. it’s a divorce.

I think it hurt him his feelings Disney not using his story treatments. Maybe even incensed him.

Selling to Disney is 4 billion dollars worth of reasons for the Original to get reissued. The so called secret Lucas contract forbidding their release appears to have been a fan hoax. The only thing preventing such was the purchase of 20th Century Fox and Disney acquiring all the assets finally, means Star Wars 1977 is Disney’s.

That finished in 2019 and for Star Wars 40th they did not own the rights in 2017.

I’d like to see the color dailies that are in black in white in the so-called lost cut. I don’t expect any extended cuts of Star Wars. Deleted scenes would be nice.

This coincides with John Landis in 2015 claiming Lucas told him Disney was gonna release the originals, and they probably would’ve for the 40th if they’d owned Fox. Why else would they purchase Fox for that much?
But at the same time I’d always heard that Lucas bought the rights to the original Star Wars from Fox in the early 90s, as he only owned Empire and Jedi and also probably so he could prevent them re releasing the original film, so who knows.

I think George now treats Star Wars the same way he has treated Marcia since ‘83, they don’t exist in his mind. That would track with the divorce analogy.

So you too have fallen to the darkside 😔

Nahhh, I just don’t blindly kiss his ass anymore. He could’ve done a lot more for us, only 6 films and 1 proper animated series in 35 years? And you can’t say quality over quantity because 3 of those films were poorly executed. This “franchise” is a joke.
