I took this quiz on starwars.com and I got Sy Snootles 😦

Something interesting is that the picture that came up was actually a high quality version of the original puppet rather than the CGI abomination version. #OOTconfirmed jk but still noteworthy.

I decided to do a reverse image search on Google. That particular picture exists nowhere else on the web, though there are similar ones. Definitely taken intentionally from internal sources, not off Google images by some lazy intern.

So, Disney releases a 3D Blu Ray in North America for the first time in ages, and it’s not TFA. Right…

I’ve seen this exact phrase before, on another site…

Yeah, all the mods have a key. Not like we can afford an intern for that. 😉

Honestly you’d have to pay me too watch star wars while wearing a $0.05 pair of tight plastic glasses. Would totally ruin the experience.

I think the home theater glasses are a tad more expensive. 😉

In any event Disney had been blowing off the U.S. market for some time, only releasing 3D Blu Rays overseas. Any film released in 3D theatrically ought to have a home release for those who want to buy it.

I’ve actually never watched 3D in a home theater before. But I already find it unimpressive on the big screen so I have no pressing desire to test it out.

There have been too many rushed cheap conversions of 2D films, and filmmakers unwilling to be more aggressive with the depth the format is capable of. The 3D films of the 50’s did it right.

“Glasses free” systems are being developed as well.

Marvel and Pixar seem to have some autonomy in regards to the Blu Ray releases. There was much gnashing of teeth online when Frozen was not available in 3D in the U.S., and Big Hero 6 did not come out here either.

Hopefully, Zootopia is the beginning of a reversal of that trend.
