A lot of people are worried/excited/fascinated by the fact that the Despecialized Edition is now apparently known to and loved by the Hollywood insider crowd. Rather than panicking and speculating in all the other threads, let’s put it all here.
I’m placing odds on the following events:
1:1 - Harmy gets name-dropped by someone onstage at the next Academy Awards.
3:1 - Harmy gets name-dropped by more than one person at the next Academy Awards.
50:1 - Within a year, Harmy has permanent guest privileges at several Hollywood homes, and spends the next few years couch surfing with the stars.
700:1 - A small Czech flag keeps showing up on the sidewalk in front of the Chinese Theatre, on the same sidewalk square dedicated to a certain film franchise producer. The flag keeps getting removed, but a new one keeps showing up to replace it. The theater owner is perplexed.
3000:1 - A famous Hollywood hillside landmark gets some of its letters replaced, and the O-L-L is replaced by an A-R-M.
Ain’t gonna happen - Star Wars is officially released on Blu-ray. Sorry, folks, let’s keep it realistic.
