Most obvious, least creative troll in the Star Wars galaxy?

PTOTST, or Disney?

They’re not mediocre. They’re bad.

Disney simply isn’t Lucas, who (like it or not) was still an “artist”. Disney is pure corporation and what they care about is making the profit. Releasing OOT is simply unnoteworthy compared to the profit they get from making new stuff.

To paraphrase : Disney only cares and money. Therefore, they won’t sell a product that costs practically nothing to produce and that will sell like hot cakes at $100 a pop.

When you operate in billions, several millions is unnoteworthy profit. All it would do is basically steal lots of publicity and attention from the things that make them billions now.

Then why the hell does any major studio release catalog titles on home video?

Interstellar

6/10

spoilers:

A lot of it works, but the explanation we get when he’s in the black hole just doesn’t cut it for me. It felt a bit lazy. But up to that point, and after, it was really good.

Premature (2014)

It’s about a high school student whose day keeps resetting whenever he prematurely ejaculates. As expected it was the best movie ever made, no question.

11/10

I’ve seen it. It’s actually . . . a lot less dumb than it sounds. Kinda of endearing.

Just remind myself of this

There likely will not be an official release of the Star Wars trilogy on home video until the copyrights expire and we get a good public domain release.

But who here has time to wait for the end of western civilization?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain_film :

Due to the U.S. Copyright Term Extension Act, no more films will automatically enter public domain in the United States until January 1, 2019, when the copyright will expire on films released in 1923 (and in 2020 films from 1924, and so on).

Isn’t Disney the king of keeping IP’s private though? Mickey Mouse…

I wasn’t disputing at all that this would happen fairly close to when the sun explodes, just that this is how long we’ll have to wait, regardless of how long the wait is.

Which means only this guy will ever be able to watch the OOT. 😉

FTFY

OOT on cerebral cortex insertion disc 2073!

I think it’s more likely they’re both meant to evoke this :

As if star wars wasn’t a commodity from the beginning. Your own signature affirms that.

I’m sure Disney will make a Jawa movie, and you’ll get to find out every last detail.

Christ, you really can spin anything into anti-Mouse venom.

And for fucks sake guys, Frink posted the link to the appropriate thread. Posting in it instead of here requires literally no extra effort.

Random thought (I shouldn’t have to preface posts in this thread, but alas this is where we are): why do Jawa’s eyes glow? Do they have some sort of cybernetics?

At least nobody chimed in with “It’s pointless to resist” yet.

Except you

I don’t think it presents any continuity issues. I just thought it was kind of dumb and lazy. Could’ve been a bit more creative about it. Almost feels like it wasn’t there, then someone at LF said they had to.

I found the cameo jarring. Would’ve preferred to have just seen them in the background on the Tantive IV.

One of the worst movies ever made? A bit of hyperbole. One of the worst successful blockbusters ever? sure.

Honestly, there’s nothing in the OT that I would shy away from showing a 5 year-old kid. It’s not like they show them burning alive.

Not the only Lucas film Disney refuses to release on Blu Ray.

No, there is another.
Time for speculation about May 4th and May 25th.

But this is the CELEBRATION speculation thread. Get out. :p
