I won’t give up hope and until they clearly say: “We will release the OUT” I won’t get excited every time the Star Wars facebook page changes its profile pic to an OT scene.
lol 😃
big butt cattle creatures
I always thought they looked like massive engorged ticks.
I always found the Naboo scenes in AOTC to be extremely depressing. I think it has to do with the cinematography and bad CGI. I do love how Patty and Ani have a picnic when she’s supposed to be in hiding.
And they live in a palace. Inconspicuous, lol.
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.
Even so, why make Greedo your cover photo unless you have something up your sleeve? The only people who give a rat’s ass about Greedo as a character are members of this site.
Turns out the picture is a new addition to Starwars.com too.

OUT confirmed for 2016!
I already included that bit where you guys probably think I’m crazy :p
Seriously though, if Verta has a Greedo shot available, someone should do a comparison.
I don’t think that scene is in any of his demos.
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.
Airplane (PG) had boobs.
And bestiality
Movie ratings were different back then though. Even Jaws was a PG.
Rocky (1976). Features intense makeout scene. PG.
Logan’s Run (1976). Features open female nudity and overt creepiness. PG.
Temple of Doom (1984). Features a guy’s heart being ripped out of his chest. PG.
Edge of Tomorrow (2014). Harmless action movie. PG-13.
Don’t forget TFA PG-13. it’s as if death itself merits a mature audience these days.
As for Godfather 2, I actually dislike the backstory part of the film.
This explains so much
I bet it has more to do with the fact that the SEs are the only presently available version of the movie…
I’m going to get this out of the way:
Uh, who cares? We know that there are alien species that have incredibly long lifespans (Chewbacca?), so it’s not “unrealistic” by the parameters of this fictional universe that he could still be flying. Also, we have no idea how much confrontation there has been by way of dogfighting between the various iterations of Empire and Rebellion since the death of the Emperor, so maybe he hasn’t been in that many dogfights since Endor. And maybe he’s a really good pilot.
And I repeat, who cares?
Lol, I never noticed that neither of its hind legs is actually touching the ground.
What’s the first screen cap? All I see is the “dvdactive” logo.
For some reason listening to this reminds me of this song.
It was stuck in my head all day and I finally figured out what it was.

'EXCLUSIVE: Greedo actor wants ‘Star Wars’ to restore Han Solo shooting first scene: ‘It does give him a little more glory’'
'Han Solo shot first — as Greedo himself knows, since he was an eyewitness.
Actor Paul Blake, who played the doomed Rodian bounty hunter in the original “Star Wars” confirms what fans of a certain age know in their hearts — in spite of creator George Lucas’s subsequent fiddling with the scene to make Han look more heroic.
"Of course, in it said it all in the original script, we played in the scene in English and at the end of the scene, it reads, ‘Han shoots the alien.’ " Blake told the Daily News. “It’s all it says and that’s what happened. It was very painful.”
Besides, having Greedo fire first and miss from across a table, as has been the case after the original release, is sort of embarrassing.
“He was a bit inept wasn’t he?” quips Blake. "He’s a worse shot than a Stormtrooper. I don’t think Jabba had him under a pension plan let’s put it that way.
“It would be lovely to see them go back to the original version, I much preferred it, I must say. And it does give it Greedo a little more glory if he’s just blown away.”
Blake is one of the character actors who stumbled on a role of a lifetime and is profiled in the new documentary, “Elstree 1976,” in theaters and on demand this Friday. The Jon Spira-directed film takes its name from the London-based studio and the year in which the iconic film was shot.
At the time, though, no one involved knew they were signing on for nerdy immortality — least of all Blake, who was prodded to try out by his acting buddy Anthony Daniels, already on board as C3PO.
“I show up the next day at Elstree Studios, early in the morning and I hadn’t had breakfast,” recalls Blake, now 67. "There was no one around except this one guy in the far corner, so I went up to him and asked ‘Oh hi, you couldn’t get me cup of coffee, could you?’
"So he very kindly went off and got me a cup of coffee. I said, ‘Do you know anything about this movie? I’m looking for a guy called George something or other.’
“And he said, ‘I’m George Lucas.’” adds Blake. "And that’s how I got the job. God knows how, because I made him fetch me a cup of coffee. "
He probably doomed poor Greedo right then and there, too.
“Actually, I’m ecstatic that such a tiny character got so much contrivance 40 years later,” says Blake.
And now with Disney’s purchase of the “Star Wars” franchise there’s always the chance of a Greedo standalone movie where the Rodian warrior will finally get his chance to … eh, who are we kidding?
“Have you seen his eyes? He’s myopic and short sighted at the same time,” jokes Blake. “I mean the poor guy never stood a chance. It was the wrong career choice when the guy decided to be an assassin. I think flower arranger would have been better. Or maybe short order cook.”
So maybe a standalone film that’s more art-house drama than rousing adventure?
“I can see him standing behind Jabba with a huge vase and maybe a few geranniums,” says Blake. “Hey, if Disney is listening to this, it’s a whole different kind of film.”’
For years I thought that was an SE addition.

You cannot tell me that this:

The first one looks better than the second one.
Notice how I said IMO (in my opinion)
“Cliegg’s Leg: A Star Wars Story”
George Lucas named as director. C3PO and Cliegg fall into a droid factory and have their legs swapped. R2D2, no longer recognizing his friend, gets lonely and loses the will to live. R2D2 digitally replaced in SE #4 with a droideka who had a moral crisis and defected from the Neimoidian army during the battle of Naboo.
