I am kinda bummed that the new crawl of Hope, Jedi, Menace, Clones and Sith use one font, but Empire and Force Awakens use different font for the movie title in crawl. Its triggering muh OCDee

I’ll make a fan edit of Empire for you. You’re on your own for TFA though.

Isn’t it Jedi, Menace, Clones and Sith that use a “different” font, seeing that Empire was the first to include it?

Did I miss a post this was responding to, saying the screenings are cancelled?
Because that is what I found out today.

I was going to post in this thread earlier because I work for a (non-Alamo) theater, and we were set to screen all of the films.
The story is Lucasfilm said no when they heard Fox has ok’d these screenings (apparently without consent from Lucasfilm).
How it is even possible to make a “mistake” at that level, no one knows.
Again, my theater isn’t part of Alamo. However, we absolutely obtained the right to screen the films through the appropriate channels (the only channel). Only they didn’t check first with Lucasfilm??

Sorry to be bearer of bad news, but I doubt anyone - including Alamo chain - is going to be screening the films.

As others have posted here, does Disney actually have the ability to prevent Fox from screening anything? Now that Alamo has confirmed that they will indeed be screening the films, perhaps the following is more likely:

Disney hears about the screening, says to Fox, “Hey, you’re distributing the OT to Alamo this summer? We have some new masters that may or may not be ready in time. Could you imagine how many more tickets y’all will be able to sell if you market the OUT??? This will also help us market the Blu Ray in the fall, and Rogue One. Let’s help each other out.”

Fox: “Yeah, we’ll pause this for a little while. As you know, we’ve been blatantly trying to beat as much money out of this franchise as humanly possible while we can still scrape 6% off the top.”

This would also still be consistent with the notion expressed by Tomland’s source that a lack of initial communication between Fox and Disney was somehow involved in the confusion behind the screening.

Plus we have this:

We’re working feverishly behind the scenes to make this rare event a very special experience.

Rare? The OT was last available in theaters last December.

Star Wars theatrical versions not coming in 2015
Time

I know you guys probably think I’m a little nuts for reading too much into these things by now, but this one is f***ing Greedo!

New facebook cover photo:

Vs. Blu-Ray

Edit: and at this point, why else market Greedo except to piss off a large chunk of your fans, which would be foolish and petty. They already have a bunch of angry “Han shot first” comments.
