well, i think that the “so this is how liberty dies - with thunderous applause” moment in RotS is absolutely amazing, for example.
lol. She’s just stating the obvious.
It might’ve work if she had just said, “so this is how liberty dies.” Period.
Wait, you’re blaming ROTS’s faults on John Williams???
JEDIT that’s right, in this context, goosebumps are good.
I guess if you grew up with the PT I can see why that would “feel like Star Wars” because it was part of what initially defined Star Wars to you.
Basically. It’s funny, though, when I was younger, I liked the prequels fine. They weren’t my favorite SW movies, but I enjoyed watching them all the same, and I associated them with Star Wars. Last time I watched them (I think it was in advance of TFA), though, they fell completely flat. I always did release order, and the second half of the marathon was nothing like the first. They just didn’t feel like SW anymore.
Haven’t watched a prequel since. Though I’ll probably watch TPM again some day.
It seems everyone who makes movies at Lucasfilm thinks the originals should be released. Abrams and Rian are both on transcript or Twitter defending the originals or trashing the SEs. Is it really just organizational respect for George holding it back?
The concern for matching the style of the original is perplexing. Why not match the release versions?
Lowry Digital Images hasn’t existed for ages now, since 2010 I think?
I do know that Disney did get a print when making Rogue One, they wanted it as reference to make sure they matched the look of the original Star Wars. It may have come from the LoC.
If the request was more recent than Rogue One, it might be for some other purpose though, which would be interesting.
This story made the rounds before RO was released. Makes sense then. Though it’s hard to believe Lucasfilm doesn’t have prints on hand or something else better quality than the copyright deposit.
I’ve spoken again with people inside the Disney archival and restoration team, and they still say there is no interest internally in releasing the original versions, but that they have digitally scanned all of the elements that they have. There is talk internally of a 4K SE release however.
That’s really sad
PSA the '2016 hi-res soundtracks" are different from the 2018 remasters. The new SKUs that came out the other day are entirely new masters.
It seems like there’s a little confusion in here.

Poor Alderaan.
The drawing cost “$12 per face.”
Lol.
Makes sense. Lip augmentation is expensive.
LOL!
It looks like Mike has at long last given a public presentation on legacy. I hope it gets widely publicized in the industry.

(did anyone go to it)
There’s nothing there.
My older sister is my favorite person on the planet, by far.
My older sister and I are friendly, but I do not count her as a “friend”. A close acquaintance, maybe. She watches my kiddo sometimes, and we can have a reasonable conversation about random things (in a group, say at a family party). However, she and I don’t have any similar interests but one, never hang out for any particular reason, and we don’t seek out each other’s opinion on really anything.
You let close acquaintances watch your kiddo?
Maybe he only considers his kid to be a close acquaintance.
In before “actually, the real Star Wars day is May 25”
Well personally I do think the May 4th thing is both recent and dumb, but I don’t really care either way.
We are going to an event this weekend where our daughters are going to dress up for the first time (matching Scavenger Rey’s) so that’s cool.
Now there are two of them!
One random girl with unexplained force abilities I could maybe understand. But two!? This is getting out of hand!
And Lando may seem to be the boss b/c he’s a cocky SOB. I get the sense from the trailers that Woody Harrelson’s character is the boss.
You’re gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company.
Lol?
Happy May the Fourth!
You did it wrong.
I have a cold. It sucks!
I’m a bit as well.
I’m a byte.
Groot is like Chewbacca except instead of rawring he says “I’m Groot” and the raccoon somehow understands him.
Hey that one’s funny.
*begins filling vat with poutine*
Ogres have layers.
lol!
parfaits are delicious.
Gorillas are apes, not monkeys.
