Your thoughts on the Episode IX title - <strong>'The Rise Of Skywalker'</strong>
Time

Matt.F said:

“It’s time for the Jedi to end…” maybe the title means that a force sensitive person will no longer be called a Jedi, they’ll be called a Skywalker?

The previous film opened the door to the galaxy being filled with a new generation of force sensitive, perhaps Rey and the Resistance choose the title ‘Skywalker’ to denote them as a homage to Luke?

Yeah, this is the theory I was talking about earlier.

I’m not saying I think The Rise of Skywalker is a good title, but it’s way better than AOTC.

As far as the titles go, to my mind:

  1. The Empire Strikes Back
  2. The Last Jedi
  3. Revenge of the Sith
  4. The Force Awakens
  5. Solo
  6. Return of the Jedi
  7. Rogue One
  8. The Phantom Menace
  9. The Rise of Skywalker
  10. A New Hope
  11. Attack of the Clones

Gout vs faces vhs which is better?
Time

Nah man, the motion smearing is only mitigated due to the objectively inferior visual fidelity of VHS. Since DVD is a clearer, sharper picture, the DNR smearing becomes more apparent.

I’ll give you audio, though - it’s the same mix, but analog HiFi on the VHS and compressed 192kbps AC3 on the DVD.

For the 1993 telecine master, which is the same master used for the Definitive Collection laserdisc, the Faces VHS and laserdisc releases, and the GOUT DVD:

Video: DVD > LD > VHS

Audio: LD > VHS > DVD

And that’s pretty much objective fact. You might prefer the VHS because the format’s deficiencies hide some of the master’s inherent flaws, but it’s not actually better than the GOUT DVD release.

As for which of the LD releases of the 1993 master is better (DC or Faces), I couldn’t say as I don’t own a laserdisc player.

Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *

Digging this shot of Ms Tran. I’m really hoping she has a more substantial, adult roll in this. She looks great here and appears to have a more important roll in-universe.

Agreed. It would be so shitty if she was cut, or her role reduced significantly, due to the B.S. backlash against her. She was great in the part, any issues people had with the character were from the writing (I was fine with it except the “saving what we love” line). Especially when I saw way too many people saying stuff like “Thank God they got rid of her, she was horrible!” when she wasn’t on the leaked poster.

TLJ, Solo, RO, and TFA have all been on Netflix at one point or another.

The only Star Wars content on Netflix are The Clone Wars (both the movie and show), The Last Jedi and Rogue One. They’re going to be leaving Netflix very soon since Disney+ is launching this Fall.

Didn’t TCW recently get removed?

Ady has said the entire time that only the OT is canon for his edits, and when he still planned to edit the PT it would have been altered to match the OT, not the other way around. And that he won’t be editing anything to fit the Disney films since there’s no guarantee a future film won’t contradict something he did as we learn more about the new canon - best to keep it all internally consistent with the OT itself, since that’s less likely to cause issues.
