The concept must at least exist, as Luke mentions it.

                              *THREEPIO
                     Is there anything I might do to help?

           Luke glances at the battered robot. A bit of his anger drains 
           and a tiny smile creeps across his face.

                                 LUKE
                     Well, not unless you can alter time, 
                     speed up the harvest, or teleport me 
                     off this rock!*

I’ve always taken that as proof that those things don’t exist in the SW galaxy. Luke said it jokingly, knowing it was impossible. The concept of those things exists, but in a sci-fi/fantasy way. That’s my reading/canon anyway.

Yes, but IIRC, Threepio’s answer in the novel implies the technology does exist, or at least the study of it…

I’d imagine if the tech existed, Threepio would have at least elementary knowledge of it.

Spider-Man 2 has a cliffhanger?

Doctor Octopus may or may not have drowned.

The Italian Job (1969)

Love it.

The prequels suck!

DominicCobb said:

Be happy it’s at least got the new color. Prequels didn’t even have that much.

I’m just glad there are no Roman numerals.

Good to know that the novelizations get the same respect that the films deserve.

Just about sixteen years ago they were everywhere and ran the galaxy. Even Lil’ Annie knew all about 'em! Even if (maybe especially if) there were huge galaxy-wide book burnings, ban on all evidence, believers rounded up, ect., plenty of people would remember it and there would be plenty physical evidence to back it all up.
There just isn’t enough time between ROTS and ANH for me to buy any of it. I’m just not willing to believe that everyone in the galaxy is that stupid.
Like CHEWBAKAspelledwrong said, the prequels suck.

That does leave Ben though. He’s the right age for the accepted timeline. So is Vader, come to think (what I’m saying is that they’re human and the timeline is compatible with human lifespan). It’s probably more a problem of misrepresenting the Jedi in the prequels than a timeline issue. They should have been a more covert and mysterious organization. I think benevolent, organized, monkish vigilantes would have been better than seeing Yoda taking meetings with Senators.

Maybe?

What I’m saying is maybe that’s the explanation for this dilemma they’re trying to solve.

Maybe the prequels suck.

I just like that they went with the original artwork for the OOT soundtracks.

They didn’t. Not for the digital releases anyway. But who cares, I guess. Easy enough to change

Never listened to them. Never really been into the soundtracks before. Just want the originals on CD rom. The '93s were before my time and are now pretty spendy.

DominicCobb said:

Honestly I think the best thing that we can hope that the pulling of the SE soundtracks means is that Disney has plans to make their own comprehensive complete scores for all the films. I really don’t think we can read anything at all into this about their plans for the OOT, most don’t really associate the soundtracks with any particular version of the film.

I would love a remastered reissue of the 1993 CDs. Of course, something even more comprehensive would be welcome.

moviefreakedmind said:

Lucas-owned Lucasfilm never bothered to release the original soundtracks after the SE. I’d say it’s a step in the right direction given that they’re putting both versions out there for people to purchase.

Not anymore. There is no digital download of the SE soundtrack anymore on iTunes or Amazon. Only the original soundtracks are available in mp3 now. Was thinking about buying the ROTJ album when I noticed this.

EDIT: the Ultimate edition compilation has also been pulled, but that’s more likely a copyright thing as that was distributed by Sony.

TV’s Frink said:

Agreed. Although 62.5% is perhaps a little low for “most.”

It’s over 50%. By definition “most.”

A metallic silver logo has been used in marketing as well. I think it would look good in this application.

Rogue One nominated for Oscars in VFX and sound mixing.

Oh boy, here comes the rehash brigade. The crawl should be green and in comic-sans Spanish.

WYSHS

Comic Sans is a rehash of Comic Serif.

But you’re right. Comic Serif for the saga films, more formal. Use Comic Sans for the rehashy spin offs.

Judging by this pic, looks like they decided to continue with the ESB title font rather than the ROTJ/prequel font:

That’s a good thing. This font feels more forceful, bold.

Maybe they’ll use the crawl to give us some political exposition to satisfy all the grumpy prequel lovers

Tobar said:

We’re definitely going to pick up right after TFA ended. But I highly doubt they’d do that before the crawl. I suspect they might even open it with a scene depicting Hux delivering Kylo to Snoke.

Yeah, that’d be cool. That would provide the opening space ship shot too.

JawsTDS said:

I’m really hoping they’ll go the RO route and start with the prologue of REY and LUKE on AHCH-TO and then cut to the crawl - that way it won’t simply be recapping the prior film.

I don’t see how this solves your purported problem. So you’d rather have the crawl recap only the last scene of the film?

Furthermore, TLJ is a good acronym.

I would bet horse hair is more expensive.

After watching the OT and TFA this I have a few things to day:

• STAR WARS improves slightly with every viewing and the stretch when C3P0 and R2 crash on Tatooine is more enjoyable this time around

• Unfortunately I feel the exact opposite for Return of The Jedi as I’m less satisfied every time I watch it and the Ewok segment was pretty brutal this time around

• After not seeing TFA since May I have the say the movie definitely holds up

Yup. Especially ROTJ.
