It’s true we will never get the originals ever again though.

Why should Disney give us what we have wanted for 20 years when they can milk TFA, Rouge One, Episodes 8&9, the Han Solo movie, and a third spinoff for decades to come?
There are college students today who have never seen the original versions of the OT. That scares me.
Undoing the SE and restoring the originals should be the first priority of everyone on this site. We are literally the only place on the internet that is dedicated to the real versions of the OT.

I hope the holiday special is remastered and released on media sometime tho. I wanna watch it legally.

I realised today that 9 months have gone by in 2016, and I’ve only watched each Star Wars film once. Ever since I got the box set in October 2014, I’ve watched each film at least 4 times a year (I had seen Star Wars plenty of times before this, but I gradually stopped watching my VHS copies). I need to start watching them regularly again.

Not enough people read the EU.

I think I’ve figured out why George Lucas insisted that Wookiees and Hutts should not be allowed to be Jedi in the old (Legends) EU.

Namely, as a punishment. For the transgressions of certain members of their respective species.

If all Hutts are the size of Jabba then I can understand the thinking behind it but not Wookie’s as they’re humanoids.

lol, Hutts as Jedis? Since Wookies can’t speak english I dunno if they should be Jedi’s either. All the Jedi’s I’ve seen spoke english.

Wookies can learn Basic you know! Also just because Wookies have different vocal cords and a different language doesn’t mean the Force should flow through them any less than it does with humans or ithorians.

What’s a Wookie? 😉

Where were you in '77?

He did?

It wasn’t exactly common, but they did exist;

Star Wars is Surrealism, not Science Fiction (essay)
Original Trilogy Documentaries/Making-Ofs (YouTube, Vimeo, etc. finds)

I think he misspelled “cookie”. Either that or “blackist,” I’m not entirely sure.

Maybe they were in the pool.

It would be interesting to have a Hutt in the sequels or spinoffs that’s actually a good guy, who has to overcome the reputation his species has.

The Star Wars revival really began with the Zahn books and Dark Horse getting the comics license but it never really became unpopular. I remember constantly coming across rumours of prequels and sequels which came to nothing but sold magazines.

It’s not the size of the Hutt, it’s the motion of the sail barge.

Lots of wikis do that for some stupid pain-in-the-ass reason.

That’s racist.

And it’s not like Wookiees are too stupid to speak or understand Basic; they understand it fine, but their biology prevents them from speaking it. Their vocal cords, tongues and lips are unable to pronounce the nuances of Basic, so they speak Shyriiwook.

Looks like I left out an ‘e’. That, along with ‘Kashyyyk’ always trip me up.
