What else would it be? It’s certainly not restoration work. It’s a quick text/fade effect on the release date for Star Wars, over a black background, with an audio collage behind it. And the audio collage is centered around quotes from House of Cards S5. (I still do not get this, at all. That’s not even getting into the “I will not Yield” of it all. Who won’t yield? What’s not being yielded? Why am I listening to Kevin Spacey at all?)

What are the other options for a file called “Final Crumb” from the channel leaking restoration progress on the Star Wars trilogy, showing the opening date for the restoration’s release?

There have been dozens of other non-restoration videos posted by the channel with even more random audio clips… Why are you so worked up by this?

I don’t think a lot of the shitposts have been shared on here

I’m not “worked up” at all, LOL. I just think it’s super weird and bizarre that a very quick/cheap promo video about a release we already know is coming is being underscored by Kevin Spacey/House of Cards.

this isn’t like the “dozens of other non-restoration videos” in that most of those are either directly related to restoring Star Wars, or sharing other directly Star Wars related stuff that’s clearly going through a QC pass. (the re-recordings of the OT scores, for example)

This is like a fan-trailer at best (again, can’t really be anything but a promo!), but with a really misguided idea of what would make for a cool-sounding audio collage.

I don’t think a lot of the shitposts have been shared on here

LOL, apparently not. How long has this channel been “shitposting” then? Again - I’m not “worked up” (the re-release is happening regardless what this channel ever posts again) but if the misunderstanding is centered in annoyance that I don’t know about secret shitposts… That’s pretty funny! And would have established some context I didn’t have since I wasn’t aware the channel was semi-regularly shitposting things along the lines of “lets make an audio collage out of Kevin Spacey quotes” for awhile now.

Why are you so obsessed with Kevin Spacey all of a sudden? The audio is of many different things, not just House of Cards or Kevin Spacey…

I dont’ get this response, really, I’m sorry! I’m not obsessed with Kevin Spacey - but basically the only thing you can make out in the video is him shouting “I WILL NOT YIELD” (which is also… a bizarre hook to hang this promo on).

I’m making myself pretty clear here, I think? At least I’m trying to! I don’t know what about my posts is causing so much confusion & consternation. As a promo, it’s not very good. As a shitpost (which I wasn’t aware was even an option before) it’s still… not great? It doesn’t make any sense and is centered around vocal clips from a non Star Wars tv show, from years past its last gasp of relevance culturally, being shouted by a guy who is primarily known for being a serial sex pest/abuser/accused rapist.

I’m not saying people have to share the same opinions as I do, I’m not even saying anything about anyone who says they like it (has anyone even said that yet?), or trying to be rude and/or dismissive based on that difference of opinion. I’m sharing my thoughts on this leaked promo video that maybe all of 50 people have seen so far, that I think missed the boat in a real weird way, and then responding to the folks responding to me 😃

That’s bizarre. Why would the restoration company be making such a weird promo video (that you could probably knock together in iMovie) that isn’t even really promo-ing anything but the date of the Star Wars premiere, and features audio clips from House of Cards?

Even as a weird winking in-joke along the lines of “we know you were watching” Who uses THE VOICE OF KEVIN SPACEY as a promo for the re-release of Star Wars? There is no WAY anyone involved with this release wants that association, LOL.

Weird as hell. Don’t like it.

I agree. It’s weird. Perhaps it’s just some fan creation.

A NEW VIDEO - with AUDIO…

^ The video is titled ‘Final Crumb’ - seemingly more a piece of PR / publicity content.

What the hell is this??? Why is there Kevin Spacey? This is like if someone went all in on David S Pumpkins.

I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.

Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.

My movie reviews aren’t AI, they’re just written by someone who’s Neurodivergent. If you don’t like them, then simply don’t read them.

Since like October I think, they’ve gone from random German singing uploads, to restoration clips, to a bunch of other weird things.

Update, the ALI channel is responding to our comments on the video, with some pretty hilarious responses. They’ve never responded to our comments before this.

I mean, my first inclination is that a fan has control of the channel now and is goofing around, but that would call into question just a metric ton of things I dont’ think anyone wants to call into question, LOL.

Along those same lines, direct evidence that whoever is behind the channel knows to come in here and check this thread especially is… saying something. They (so far as I know, I only just found out about the predilection for shitposts a couple hours ago, LOL) have never even responded to direct comments on their channel, right? But now they’re posting comments in their own comments section, to baffled posts on a completely separate messageboard that (IIRC) you have to have an account to even look at now?

So someone at the channel has an account here and instead of just posting here, is leaving responses to a thread people can’t see under an iMovie-lookin promo video starring Kevin Spacey.

All of this is stuff I kinda wish wasn’t made known to anyone, LOL, because the implication now is that at some point this stopped being a valid leak and just became weirdos online behaving weirdly for the attention of a handful of folks on this forum.

Feels more like they’re just inside jokes being made exclusively for the team working on the restoration. But the part about the comments are even weirder.

What comments? Where?

I agree that Kevin Spacey is a choice, but then everything about the leaks and shitposts has been bizarre and perplexing.
