They have also got rid of the episode numbers. Still not used by that weird move…

They got rid of episode numbers last year when they released the really overpriced digital copies and steelbooks.

Yeah I know, it’s weird.

Hmmm… still no clearer which versions?

[BFI said:]

Fans of George Lucas’s cinematic classics will be offered the chance to be the first to see the remastered, original Star Wars films under the stars on a giant screen with state of the art sound and visuals, set against the incredible backdrops of Hampton Court Palace and Hatfield House, Hertfordshire. Launching on the 3 August at Hampton Court, the iconic films will be screened in order, one per evening for three nights, followed on Saturday 6 August by a special family day, giving younger fans the chance to take part in special Jedi master classes. Under the watchful eye of the Jedi Master and a Jedi Knight, young Padawans will don Jedi robes, learn the ways of the Force and discover how to master a lightsaber, before a screening of Star Wars: A New Hope.

The only rational way to interpret this language is to disregard it entirely.
This is gibberish, written by an idiot, wrapped in nonsense.

Always assume the latest version until you see it’s otherwise with your own eyes.

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

I noticed they’ve put Copyright-2015 on the promotional poster. Probably not significant. Most likely that refers to the “new” digital transfers of the same old, same old from last year.

Well the joke’s on you, because now I don’t even remember what the B in WYBS meant.

No, the What You (blank) Said was unchanged…I think. I might be drinking too much at work again.

JEDIT: The B did not stand for Blank.

Oh. So then my reply saying it was implied was redundant.

Everyone should use “WYBS” now.
