George deliberately sold it to Disney to fuck up the distribution rights to make all but impossible for the originals to be released again.

I’ve read a lot of things by you (since they turned off the Ignore feature), but this is perhaps the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever said.

I wouldn’t be saying these ridiculous things of George Lucas was an irrational psychopath that took away the films from us 20 years ago.
May I remind you that no other film in the history of cinema is treated like this.

May I (re-)present another thing he said in the very same post.

Star Wars is the black tar heroin of cinema. It is the greatest curse in the history of civilization.

This is a very bold claim.

To state our allegations, may I present Frank your Majesty, who speaks on our behalf.

True. Everything he says is some kind of statement that no one else believes presented as fact.

This is still George Lucas’s fault. I’ll still be unable to see the real OT outside of bootlegs for the rest of my forseeable life.

Your hyperbolic overreactions are no one’s fault but your own.

Nah. His claim that global warming will turn Earth into a dead planet hotter than Venus within a century or two is more ridiculous.

He didn’t actually say that…I don’t believe you.

HOW COULD YOU EVEN SAY THAT?!?!

Oh, he’s said that.

Oh, he’s said that.

It makes me wonder what is worse, off-topic then or General SW Discussions now.

Correction: The most ridiculous thing he’s ever said that I read.

I highly recommend reading it. Very entertaining! Almost as entertaining as Padme losing her will to live.

DuracellEnergizer said:

Oh, he’s said that.

Seems like a psych evaluation should be a prerequisite for admittance into this forum

PLEASE stop arguing my side. You aren’t helping.

No

EDIT:

Also if we’re being real here

Ah, I don’t really care, it actually kind of highlights his…um…how should I put this politely?

His detachment from reality? Too strong?

General SW Discussions now. At least back then there were not non-stop trolls coming in to start multi-page debates about TFA in threads that had no relevance to the discussion.

Medically I’m perfectly healthy. But I’ve lost the will to live.

nice to know they aren’t going after despecialized downloaders as long as is its not for money.

The despecialized editions is a silver lining to all this of course, but it seems like a lot of computer work for the average person.

At least Harmy asks people to buy the official release first.

I bought the VHS boxset in the 90s so I’m good then.

As far as this community is concerned, you should own the official retail release of a fan project’s source material if it is possible to do so. Content producers deserve to be compensated, so if you don’t own the retail release (if available), you have no business possessing a fan project. This applies equally to fan edits, custom DVDs and restoration projects.

If a project is sourced from an HDTV broadcast, and that movie has subsequently been made available for purchase on Blu-ray Disc, you are expected to own the BD before obtaining the fan project.

The forum administration do not have the resources to police this, so we will presume that all members comply with the above unless told otherwise. Any blatant contravention of the above may result in posts being removed, or in extreme cases member sanctions.
