Celebration V... it's ridiculous. What is it they celebrates on these events? That these important films cannot be properly watched anymore? It's sad but we all kind of knew this already, the only thing I'll spend money on is the coming Making of ESB book.
Listening to some of the crowd's responses in that clip I just had to shake my head - they'll clap at anything! Scarey.
The one heartening thing is that the original cast still get such a rapturous welcome. I doubt you'd get that to the same extent with the prequals. George must know this deep down I should think. It's just so bittersweet that this could be a true celebration of the original films for fans of either the theatrical vesions or the SEs, perhaps with a workprint thrown into the mix too - heck I'd be screaming and whooping it up then and we'd all be celebrating. A VERY big missed opportunity.
