It's funny how they refer to 2D as non-3D. :-D
Also, could this be a surprise premiere of the newly restored OT?
No.

Yes, it is funny.
Unfair edit!

I hope so, but I think if that were the case then they wouldn't be emphasizing the ROTS 3D so much
The Person in Question
Well, if they wanted to make it a surprise... But if it is the new restoration, since they seem to be planning on projecting it after the 3D prequels, that would seem to be pointing to a new 4K remastered SE, rather than the OOT.

They wouldn't bother releasing it on bd3d unless they had the OT-SE to release on the same day. I wouldn't be surprised if this new 4k restoration was done primarily to have a high-quality starting point for the 3D conversion.
The big question is whether Disney/LFL/Fox will do a '97 style theatrical re-release of all six films, keep it to just the OT or skip it entirely and just do all-day marathons on December 17.
LFL doing a 97 4K OT SE & BD3D on the same day?
I don't think so.
;-)
Oh god. Not the PT again. You can tell the PT TFN fanbois are just going to be over the moon.
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? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher

I think he meant: "framboise".
“English, motherf***er! Do you speak it!?”
Redundant double post that is actually the first post.

No, a lesbian fanboy.

Somehow I doubt it.

So no OOT? I'll try to contain my shock.

The TFN community is kind of delusional I think. Not that I'm not also delusional, but I don't really understand how someone could honestly think that there's a reason to let the original versions of Star Wars rot away into nonexistence (which I know one specific TFNer has said before)
I believe some have said that if Disney acknowledges and releases the OOT, then it will "interfere" will the saga AKA George's vision. Even when the OOT is released on Blu-ray, I'm guessing the 2011 versions (or newer versions) will still remain as official.
If the OOT is remastered in 4K and preserved as a 35mm negative so that future generations can see it that way, then canon can be J.J. Abrams on merry-go-round for all I care.

It's interesting how some say that NOBODY likes the prequels yet others say that there's no demand for the OOT.
In spite of Mark Kermode's continued insistence to the contrary, a movie can't make billions with no on liking it. If everyone was disappointed with the first film, they would've pay to see more. The market for OOT is people like us. The market for anything and everything else with the Star Wars name on it is unlimited. If Darth Vader Takes a Shit in 3-D came out tomorrow, it would be one of the ten highest grossing films by the end of the week.

The 4K OOT isn't coming out?

I see very little evidence that BD is dying, only that it isn't the first choice for something to be released -- but it never was in the first place, anyway.
Eventually, everything gets a physical release, and I doubt that will change so long as we keep buying them.
Its sales are dropping pretty hard. Consumers are moving towards streaming for a variety of reasons. I have many concerns about it: digital retailers having too tight a grip on control over the prices, the possibility of stuff disappearing, and other things, but they aren't of a lot of interest to average consumers.
Beyond this and moving the broader issues that it entails, film is fundamentally a different thing. Yes, Shakespeare did change Hamlet. Yes, Tolkien did change The Hobbit. But as long as there's a copy of the text in any fashion, it's easy to make new copies. Film is harder. Especially when the creator has hacked the shit out of the 35mm negatives.

Thank you for that contribution.
Handman, please stop posting unless you have a contribution of substance.
It's impossible to contribute actual substance to an on-line forum; physical, baryonic matter cannot exist within the realm of cyberspace.
Just hope we don't meet in meatspace.
Meatspace ... isn't that David Cronenberg's home universe?
