I don’t think these flipped shots were being pointed out as needing to be flipped back, but that certain elements in the shots can be corrected.

…Boba Fett’s flipped shots in Jabba’s Palace leap to mind…

That one’s easy, just cut Boba out entirely.

I know Ady has said he won’t be doing this, but I’m still 100% for cutting Boba out.

As for the flipped shots - I agree that they were flipped for a reason, but if the inconsistencies introduced by the flips can be fixed, they should be.

NJVC Custom Blu-ray Set of Harmy’s Despecialized Editions now available on Mega
Time

You have to download every file before you can unrar any of them. They’re partials, not full files.

So, for example, for ANH, you’d need to have all 83 RAR files fully downloaded first, then you open the first one of the 83 and it’ll unpack all of them. But if you only have 82 and are missing 1, it won’t work, and you’ll get the “incomplete” message you’ve been getting.

Well, if the downloads can’t be completed, of course they won’t extract. So it’s not an unarchiver issue, it’s a download issue.

Can you give us more specifics on the problems with jdownloader? Are you hitting Mega’s daily 5gb limit for free users?

I don’t use Mega often and don’t have a Mac anymore, but the more information you can provide the better we can help you. Just saying “It’s not working” isn’t going to get us anywhere, as there’s about a million reasons it could be failing. More info helps narrow it down.

Which parts have completed downloading? Which parts haven’t and what kind of message are you being given about the parts that are incomplete? Are they showing as still downloading, are they showing as completed but corrupted, are they showing as stalled…?

Episode VIII : The Last Jedi - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *

It will be PG-13 in the end. Disney wants as many viewers as possible. There will never be a R rated Star Wars film. If anything, there could be something darker, once they get their own streaming service up an running by 2019.

I mean, I was never trying to say that a Star Wars film would ever be released with an R rating. Just that it’s possible that the MPAA might require some elements to be dialed back to ensure a PG-13. It’s not likely, but it’s possible. Let’s not forget that AOTC is censored in the UK, and (not Star Wars, but it’s another PG-13 example) Casino Royale is censored in the US and censored differently in the UK.

It’s not likely, but it’s possible, and the disclaimer on the TV spot is giving me Temple of Doom vibes, which carried the same disclaimer and ended up causing the creation of the PG-13 rating.

Well, it won’t get an R rating, but the MPAA might require cuts before giving it a PG-13. Happens more often than you think, and most of the time it’s tiny trims - we’re talking stuff like cutting 5 frames off of shot X and 3 frames off of shot Y. Hell, the last Hobbit movie was rated R in its extended cut - though oddly enough, some of the extensions in the LOTR EEs were restored from cuts the MPAA imposed to get a PG-13, yet they still gave all three of the LOTR EEs PG-13 ratings. Bet they forgot they required Jackson to cut Lurtz licking the knife Aragorn stabbed him with or to shorten Smeagol strangling Deagol by a few seconds by the time the EEs were submitted…

I'm finally getting the OOT on vhs
Time

Yeah, I have that set, they’re the SEs. It was released in 2000 or 2001, and the box art was designed to match the Episode I box art. The OOT was never released on VHS or laserdisc with episode numbers on the boxes, only the SEs.

Basically, anything OT with a post-1997 date is the SE, with the exception of the GOUT (and even that still has the 2004 SE as the main feature on disc 1).

I’m also very interested to see the MPAA and BBFC ratings for this. At least with BBFC we’ll know if anything gets censored for a lower rating, but it’s entirely possible we’d never find out if the same is true here in the US.

If censorship happens, it’ll most likely be from the MPAA here in the US firsr, then that censored cut will be the “official” cut and would be the version that gets sent to the BBFC and other countries. So if the BBFC cuts anything, it’s possible that it would actually be twice-censored…
