That is interesting. It’s not part of Disney movies everywhere. I imagine that’s a little more complicated than simply Amazon or iTunes (or physical) sales though.

It’s not part of Disney movies everywhere because it isn’t Disney’s to distribute.

Right. I’m just saying that’s what Sougouk must mean. I don’t think it’s a sign of any bad blood between Fox and Disney. Rather, the apparent cooperation of the digital download release through other outlets and the existence of the six-film collection is actually a sign of at least minimal cooperation.

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.

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).

Sooner or later, Hollywood will CGI dead actors into VR Movies.

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.
