There was a form of Jar Jar or gungen in the 2011 version of Jedi?! Hmm, well, I only watched those Blurays once.

It’s in the redone celebration, when they cut to Naboo. Jar Jar and a bunch of Gungans are camping out on top of a rotunda and he yells, “Weesa free.” Dumbest thing ever.

Well, I’ll be checking that out now.
Edit: Yep, tis true, the gungans are there saying “WESA FREE”. I guess that was to be expected, since they had to include the PT locations in the celebrations.

Why did one like yourself, fortunate enough to have an uncorrupted mind, have to subject yourself to that? Unexpected… and unfortunate.

Re: Maz, I feel like we learn she’s a force mystic, but we don’t really get to see it concretely in TFA. I think that’s okay for now, but I hope we see more concrete evidence of her relationship with the Force in VIII.

I might be mistaken about this, but Disney hasn’t released any film on UHD yet, have they?

Assuming they decide to make the plunge someday, perhaps they’ll make a big deal out of it by announcing something exciting like Star Wars to compensate for being well behind the rest of the pack. Again, if I’m not mistaken, they haven’t even been filming (editing?) new movies in 4K as long as the other studios. Is 4K TFA even possible?

Presumably they can render their rotoscopy garbage classic animations ant any resolution they like, if they’re now vector based.

I’m pretty sure TFA’s digital intermediate was 2K. Re: OT on UHD: distributed by 20th C. Fox, who has been pushing UHD very heavily, especially in the sci-fi/action genres. Don’t know how that would work, but I imagine since 20th C. Fox will be printing and distributing, they could release on UHD if Lucasfilm gives the go-ahead. IMO, Fox would be smart to use Star Wars as a format seller (and you’re right, no Disney titles on UHD yet).

I always knew that the name Kylo Ren came from George. He gave the name Kybo Ren to the showrunners of the Droids series back in the '80s for a pirate leader:

It continued his trend of recycling concepts from Droids into the Prequels.

That conforms it. 4k OOT coming in 2017.

Again, I don’t think it was ever plan. It was a test and proof of concept for the prequels.

It just seems so strange that he released the blus in '11 as he was preparing to put another product in the pipeline.

Regarding Yoda, they did do tests of a CG version in Empire, but it was in the context of testing potential models for Clones. You can find behind the scenes footage of George watching the tests on YouTube iirc.

But are they George’s or Mouse-era Lucasfilm’s?

They were started under George Lucas and finished after he sold it. Weird.

Are you talking simply the scans, or do your sources claim changes were instituted on both sides of the sale?

But are they George’s or Mouse-era Lucasfilm’s?

While I don’t necessarily care – as in I won’t be bummed out if we don’t get it – I’m curious to see if we get a unique 40th Anniversary cut as opposed to a remastered '11 cut. I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a new cut that preserved the “updated” fx but junked some of nonsense changes, especially the '11 changes.

I’ve heard release in September with a likely announcement either in Celebration or in May.

Something concrete?

“Disney-LFL”, because Disney-Pixar usually delivers good movies, and Disney-Animation Studio has a few good titles since Lasseter took over.

So you admit you’re a troll?

The Michael Crichton movie Looker predicted all of this back in 1981.

Ironically, the Crichton estate is now in the practice of resurrecting dead authors. First there was Micro, which I’m convinced was an abandoned draft of Prey, and now Containment.

You mean excising a song from a movie because it was sung by your ex isn’t considered normal human interaction?

What’s this referring to?

The Force Awakens just has fun lines of dialogue that throw back to things like the Kessel run.

The bad guy being a Skywalker who turned to the dark side aka Anakin 2.0 ?
The Death Star 3.0 ?
The Emperor 2.0 ?
The Empire 2.0 ?
The Rebellion 2.0 ?
R2.0-D2.0 ?
etc.

I don’t like this movie because in a universe where it’s been established that there are robots everywhere, they made new robots. It’s too much like the old one. They should have just reused the same robots. I also don’t like that the villain wasn’t born evil, and that the evil organization has a leader. What’s up with that?

the historical importance,

I honestly have trouble grasping this argument for the SEs too.

I think that the obsessed prequel fans are starting to become a thing of the past. I’m not saying that people don’t still like the prequels, but the people who think that they are beautiful masterpieces and believe that the original trilogy was a prophetic follow-up to the prequels made 20 years in advance are starting to fade away.

I actually think they’ve grown in number since Disney bought Star Wars.

Yeah, I recently talked to TFA hater who thinks AOTC raises important and fascinating moral questions.

You don’t think it would have been weird for the commander of the Death Star in SW not to be present in this movie, which ends right before SW?

Good episode. Enjoyed seeing Zeb on his own, and really liked the design of the infiltrator droid–evoked the look of McQuarie concepts for seethreepio

When I have kids, I see no reason to show them the prequels. I actually fell asleep watching Clones with my family this year. Told them to watch Sith without me, and I’m the most devoted SW fan of the bunch.
