You’re right, he didn’t. But the doctor didn’t suggest that, only that hidalgo said it’s not in the works, which he did.

I doubt there’ll be anything worth recording, unless you wanna up the commercials to youtube or something.

Holy shit how did I miss catching this great opportunity. Preserving the original TNT commercials aired during SW. This will be invaluable. Will get on this ASAP. Going to sign up for cable and buy a TiVo just for this!!!

Yeah I hate it when directors work with good editors too.

FYI I’m hoping to have my outlines for IXX-XXI up on my personal cannon website soon. Whatever Disney comes up with be damned.

Huh. You’re right. I guess I got that perception based on the fact that she also instantly understood Chewbacca. I don’t see how she would’ve had enough contact with droids or wookiees to understand either. Perhaps Rey’s is some kind of force connection while Poe’s is trained.

JEDIT: don’t see how Poe learning to understand BB-8 is any different from Han learning to understand Chewie.

I forgot that people could understand the robots in TFA. I didn’t like that.

Maybe the new Republic requires everyone to take a droid language class in elementary school? Or perhaps BB units are easier to understand? 😉

IIR only Ray could understand droid. I understood it as some subconscious force power.

seems most people who don’t know better just refer to all the special editions as “The 97 Special Edition” even if they are talking about 04 or 2011 versions.

Or maybe this? If any movie house would understand the distinction it’s Alamo.

I have no insider knowledge so this is pure speculation. But based on my experience with the Alamo drafthouse (a movie theater by movie lovers for movie lovers if ever there was one), I’d guess they knew exactly what they were saying with each revision. They often have special 35mm screenings and they always make a big deal out of it. I know they didn’t ever specify 35mm for this particular event, but I’d bet they knew what they were talking about regarding which version they were showing. My guess based on what we’ve seen is they originally had plans to show 35mm prints from 97 (and they probably had access to them already) but then Lucasfilm poo-pooed their plans and insisted that they show the latest digital version or nothing.

Lucasfilm has a long history of being like that. The Library of Congress once thought about screening their original 1977 copyright deposit print of Star Wars at their Packard Campus theater. They were well within their rights b/c legally they can publicly screen any film in their collection without any studio permission. I can’t remember if Lucasfilm made any request or if the library just made the decision on their own, but in the end they decided not to screen it b/c they knew Lucasfilm only wanted the SE shown publicly. They made this choice b/c they have a really good relationship with Lucasfilm, who has always been one of the most cooperative and helpful studios when it came to acquiring materials for the library (OOT aside…) and they did not want to break that trust or damage that relationship.

but to preemptively dislike a film he’s directing just because he made a sub-par Jurassic Park movie (aka any JP movie after the first) is silly.

Precisely. He was given a shitty premise if there ever was one.

On another note, it was a shame, really, that The Lost World wasn’t a good movie. It had about the only possible premise for a good sequel to JP, and the book IMO was pretty good.

the “eyebrows correction” belongs to the later.

You’re right. It does happen towards the end of the movie. Never noticed.

The removal of the eyebrows corrects an error during shooting of ROTS.

Back to eyebrows: would you believe they actually acknowledge this on starwars.com on the episode page?!

“Although the final cut of Return Of The Jedi has an eyebrow-less unhelmeted Darth Vader, to better read in animation, the animation model has the dark brow visible through the cracked helmet.”!

I just watched the finale, and was so excited about the eyebrows that the first thing I did was open up this thread and search for it. Maybe these dumbass changes will slowly slip from the grip of canon.

TFA might be a better film than ROTJ, but my cognitive bias will deny that fact. Maybe Episode VIII will be better than both films, Episode IX definitely not.

How could you possibly already be making a judgment on IX lol

I hope the Reliance version has already been thrown out. Mike’s video about it is pretty damning.

What video is this?

The end of August has come and gone, so one can only wonder whether it’s good or bad news that we haven’t heard anything.

Apparently still waiting.

Punishment??

I have Netflix for streaming and for Blu Ray by mail, but I still buy many titles on Blu Ray for my own personal collection. Something about owning you’re own copy of physical media.

Trying to decide whether or not to tell math that I used sexy sarcastically to articulate that the CGI looked like shit, or if I should keep letting him embarrass himself.
