Is that some sort of half assed way of endorsing that terrible joke?No, I thought Silver was responding to me. I’m definitely not going to wade in on any bigoted nonsense. I was just in a bad mood yesterday upon hearing Lucasfilm has no plans to restore the OOT, and felt the appropriate response was to bash the rubbish films they continue to make.
Doesn’t Fox still have the rights to the OT until like 2020?
They just own the distribution rights. While it IS an obstacle, it’s not insurmountable. There are deals of these sorts made for all sorts of artistic ventures with various owners. Just look at Spiderman! Marvel and Disney were able to convince Sony to let them use the webslinger in Captain America: Civil War even though Sony still holds the film rights for that particular character.
It just requires them to sit down and cut a deal.
