Uh, guys…Do you see what I see https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VMJ7RFY/ref=pd_cbs_318_1
Anyone have $19.99 to gamble?
I sometimes watch the SE’s too.
Why?
It’s refreshing to watch them every once in a while.
Why?
This
“Claim bragging rites to own the highest priced common VHS tape you could find in any thrift store.”
leaves me thinking this stunt is just a rather stupid joke.
I bet they were counting on people looking at it and then clicking their other items and maybe buying something. Any publicity…
That was just the most expensive. They tend to hover around $20k.
In that case, I’ll take five!
This article is comical. What does it even mean that the effects won’t hold up in HD? Does the author realize that for its first few years, Star Wars was only available in better-than-HD quality? (I.e. Film)
A LOOOOOOOOTT more than the BDs in some cases.
…why?
Lovelikewinter was saying how some of the VHS’ and DVD’s of the OUT are going for more than what the BDs cost. My post was showing how some actually go for a LOT more than what the BDs go for. The set in that link is going for $2K.
I think he means why would anyone pay $2000 for VHS.
Or frankly the GOUT for that matter. You can pick those up for $20 a pop at some used stores.
In all seriousness though, I may see this movie just for that.
Why bother? I thought this looked pretty good:
Well, if they released them officially, and you kept watching Harmy without purchasing the official release, you’d be a pirate.
Star Wars: The Last Jab
Nah, there’s plenty more sequels.
That’s why it’s unlikely.
(One reason Jabba gives him more time to pay him back in the bastardized version of original film.)
FTFY
That’s an important thing to remember. I don’t think GL intentionally erased the OUT, he just didn’t care enough about it to prevent its effective erasure.
Besides what has already been said (making the SE and PT), I’d say his worst decision was replacing Gary Kurtz. Return of the Jedi could’ve been a lot better if Lucas didn’t have as much of a say in it.
He supposedly wanted Spielberg, who couldn’t do it and maintain membership in the directors guild because there were no opening credits.

I wonder if the color timing didn’t fuck one of them up, and instead of fixing the timing, they just made both match (because the fucked up color timing was actually a deliberate creative decision).
I just someone point out on the Legacy forum that the “Star Wars Show” confirmed that this panel is entirely about A New Hope specifically and that there will be surprises. Here’s the link if you haven’t seen it:
So they italicize A New Hope for “A New Hope turns 40!”, but then they more importantly italicize Star Wars in “Star Wars 40th Anniversary Panel”. I see what they are doing there…me like.
They also italicized SW in “untitled Han Solo Star Wars story”
Despite everything else that has come out on both sides of this, the Landis quote still remains to me the most convincing evidence that it will happen soon. It is incomprehensible why a director of his stature and respectability in the industry would lie about such a thing, and it is equally unbelievable that he would have misheard or misinterpreted any personal communication with George on the matter.
A little somthin’ I just threw together…
“some jackass punk stole my wheels. Didn’t even have the courtesy to leave it on cinderblocks.”
Landis, and the fact it was Lucas’ staff who convinced him to release the GOUT.
My dad, who’s only seen the movie less than 5 times, even complained when I showed the SE to him a few years back. He goes “what, jabbas‽ I remember what a big deal he was when ROTJ came out. Ruins the reveal”
The Renpire Strikes Back
Huh. I hadn’t even considered the possibility of this becoming a series.
People get so crazy for those steelbooks, it’s like a license to print money. (I confess I was tempted by the one for Guardians Of The Galaxy.) Meanwhile, regular editions of movies often come in those damned flimsy eco cases.
I know, right? Can’t we just average it out and get regular sturdy plastic cases for everything?
My local Target has a bargain aisle with older Blu Ray titles ten bucks and under these days.
Is that a good deal in the US? You can get BDs less than 5€ here and movies like Bond you can get 3 for 10€ etc. and newer titles go for 9,90€ or less after 6 to 12 months from the release. For example you can get a 3D BD of Batman v. Superman for about 6-7€ now. I haven’t boought a DVD for almost 10 years now.
Lots of old titles you can get for $5 on amazon or bargain bins.
I think it’s happening, but yeah I’ll keep my all caps hype posts till it actually gets announced officially at Celebration.
The SE’s only leave a really bad taste for me given the status of the original versions…
That, but also Greedo shooting, Jabba in SW, and Jedi Rocks. Other than that, yeah, go all out on an SE so long as you provide the OUT.
Don’t forget ghost Haydn.
Ugh how could I forget? Pretty much have tried to purge that from my memory altogether.
