Really setting high expectations. At this rate, if it doesn’t rival Star Wars and Empire I’m bound to be disappointed.
Rogue One is way before TFA, Rey isn’t Jyn, and Poe isn’t Cassian.
SPOILER ALERT!!!
Westworld (1973)
I don’t know who thought turning a brief part of The Simpsons episode Itchy & Scratchy Land into a full-length movie was a good idea, but this should have been better than it was. Yul Brenner was great though, and there’s a silly cheesy charm to much of it. Oh, and I didn’t realize the director of The Money Pit was a mediocre actor too.
6/10
Huh. Crichton usually doesn’t disappoint. Have this on my to-watch list because of him.
But why is Luke using it???
Also curious what happened to Vader’s red sabre. Did Luke retrieve it before Death Star II blew up?
Shouldn’t Luke’s sabre be green?
Don’t worry. We move on from them pretty quick
I love how, concurrently, TFA was too much like Star Wars and Kylo was not enough like Vader.

Re: the Death Star sequence. The CGI isn’t bad, per se. The sin is the erasure of iconic shots. Mainly, the original “X-foils in attack position” is a phenomenal shot in original, even though the SE version is perhaps more dynamic.
The SE take off shot is just stupid, though, even if the original flying white dots were hardly iconic.
Star Wars:
-New Death Star attack cgi was BAD
-Recomposites of existing elements were good
-Minor non intrusive visual tweaks are neutral
-Biggs scene is DUMB
-Everything else can suck a ballESB:
-Recomposites are good
-Ian as Emperor is BAD
-Minor visual tweaks are neutral
-Everything else can suck a ballROTJ:
-Recomposites are good
-Everything else can suck a ballDiscuss at length and argue for several pages.
FTFY. Or do I have to make my own thread?
Make episode II episode III
make episode III a streamlined, grounded psuedo-western about a disgraced Obi-Wan rallying others to his cause and going after the blood lusting tyrant Darth Vader
would work, because episode II could be condensed into five minutes and stapled to the end of Episode I
Forgive me if this is a stupid question but I’ve always wondered. How were 2.0 Stereo soundtracks played during theatrical release? Meaning, were they played as 4.0 or were they sometimes (depending on the theater’s ability) played as 2.0?
Thanks in advance

I just think we’re beating a dead ghost here.
I was alluding to the fact that it has a dedicated thread in the SE vs. OOT sub forum
Obi-Wan totally should have been a cut-in-half ghost!
If you could only find a way to digitally erase Obi Wan’s bottom half for your edits. 😉
+1
And have Maul’s disembodied leg ghost wandering aimlessly around.
why are we talking about the force ghosts in this thread?
Ditto. But don’t tell Frink. He’ll ridicule you for not knowing the difference between breakfast and dessert. 😉
correct. Even the initial anniversary DVD release included the restored theatrical at the demand of Spielberg. Later DVD editions were SE only, though.
ET is great. And Spielberg redeemed himself and has since buried the special edition under BD and 4k releases of the theatrical. Win-win
Don’t trust Duracell’s dictionary. It’s probably in Canadian English.
Not including my first ever viewing (99 before seeing TPM), which could have been either the OUT or the SE, I never saw the OUT until last summer.
Padme is still a queen of Naboo
Opening crawl:
The Nubian constitution has been AMENDED. After a long political battle arbitrated by a wise JEDI MASTER, democracy has been undermined by the removal of executive term limits. Nubians must now decide whether to launch a popular revolution against the young queen, a move which threatens to send the Galactic Senate into bitter DEBATE. . . .
Out of curiosity, why do you think AOTC is the best prequel?
Because it doesn’t matter
Or simply call it Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of The Jedi and so on. What’s so hard about that?
That’s not how George Lucas wants you to do it. Duh.
lol
