Uh, Empire and Jedi are sequels…

Good job reading the rest of the thread first before posting

The new 2004 Jabba was whipped cream on a pile of shit.

Not interested in buying though, because those movies are still trash, 2D or 3D lol.

Not interested in buying either, because of the above, and because 3D is trash, TFA or Prequels.

The digital bits article still stands behind the PT set rumors, too.

Edit: http://thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/081016_1230

Keep in mind, our sources are still telling us that there may also be a Blu-ray 3D box set of the Star Wars prequel films as well, and we’ll post more on that soon.

They had to kill off Han in part in case Harrison Ford died before they could film VIII. You can’t start off the crawl with, “Han Solo has died in a freak rathtar accident.”

And Bud Light is still better than PBR…

You’re wrong. And you drink light beer. Feel ashamed.

No, I despise light beer. What I mean is The Holiday Special may be better than the PT, doesn’t change the fact the HS still sucks.

Disney doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to jump on the 4K bandwagon just yet. And unless a modern film has been rendered at 4K, or an older film has a shiny new 4K master, you’re paying for an upscale anyway.

I guess we’re operating under the assumption that due to the date of the LF acquisition, any master of the OUT will have been finished in 4K.

I’d rather watch Revenge of the Sith

Not sure what’s worse: the fact these pages exist or the fact you searched for them.

If we don’t have that by 2020…

I’ll wait for the inevitable ST box set when all is said and done before I buy TFA again (assuming such a set will include the new features). One commentary isn’t enough for me to pony up for 3D, given that I don’t have a 3D TV.

I won’t rebuy if/until it comes out in 4K. Even though I don’t have 4K now, I’d like to future proof my SW collection even if I don’t yet have the means to play it.

"ROTJ is on the same level as ESB and ANH"

Oh

That is a force kick my friend.

Nope.

That’s not how the force works.

Further evidence of Tak’s assertion that the print DCP he saw was from some new master?

Nah, that’s from one of the prequels. You can tell by the ‘W’

A local theatre nearby issues this statement about their STAR WARS TRILOGY screenings – very close to the actual event itself. Hadn’t realized until today.

Lucas Film Ltd. has pulled all scheduled national theatrical screenings of the films of the original Star Wars trilogy, including those slated for August 5-7 at the Carolina Theatre of Durham. As a result, those films will not be screening in theaters this summer.

Source: http://www.carolinatheatre.org/films/festivals/star-wars

If this is true, how are the ALAMO screenings going on?

The only two possible explanations I can think of for this would be (a) a recent decision concerning the future of the films’ distribution (I.e., a new master/OUT), or (b) a feud between Disney/Fox, which on second thought seems altogether petty and unlikely.

Source?

He tweeted about it recently.

Ah. I wonder if he means on the outcome of the meetings or if they are going to meet. Did he ever confirm if they have happened?

Source?

The description did say incredibly rare! But why so secretive? They’re showing the print to thousands of people for God sake.

This is really weird.

Hence Alamo’s original belief they would be the '97 editions, perhaps? Maybe they knew it was a new master of the O-neg but didn’t realize LF was going to plug in the '04 and '11 changes until later.

I was proposing that The Leah that was born with Luke in Ep 3 died. But they saved one of Padme’s eggs and some of darths sperm and had a tube baby 2 years later. And they named that kid Leah too. That will explain the 2 year difference between the twins. Also why those twins aren’t identical.

You don’t know what twins are, do you

Interesting indeed. If this is indeed the case, it tells us that LF is at least working on something. Whether that’s simply a new big screen master for the 2011 cut or a sign they’re working on restoring the originals.

Who knows, maybe they do have a restoration for the 40th and were not ready to open the can quite yet, but figured they might as well increase the quality of upcoming screenings. Could also explain holding back a screening of the '97 cuts. They might just want to avoid over confusion if they’re indeed going to start marketing the OUT soon.

Point is the Emperor is a character who doesn’t even need a name other than “the Emperor.” “Sheev,” “Palpatine” and “Lord Sidious” just take away from his badassness.
