4K restoration on Star Wars
Time

Color means a great deal to me, so long as it’s closer to the right and nowhere near the left, I’m fine.

This is the kind of demonstration that fills me with despair, and bittersweet resignation. That the blu-rays are that murky and lifeless is just astounding. (I’ve never seen them, and have no interest in seeing them.)
I don’t know if I’m as fussy about “perfection” as Tyrph, but the treatment of these films to date is entirely intolerable, and I’m fairly confident Humpty Dumpty can never be reassembled… .
[The fourth ellipsis is for extra bittersweetness…]

[fill in the blank] Just Died!

Hillary.

No, no, no. She actually died in 2011. The thing that collapsed at WTC this year was just Clintclone No. 28. (I think the creature they propped up for the concession speech was No. 30, but not sure. They might have extended the pseudolife of NO. 29 rather than spawn an entire new one for such a limited purpose. It did after all look waaaaaaaay past its warranty…)

Star Wars moving forward without Ms. Fisher
Time

I would be shocked and appalled if they tried to include her character or likeness on-screen in IX.
The real question is how to rework elegantly the overall story arc of XIII (already shot) and IX (heavily written and pre-produced) to accommodate her absence from the screen in IX.
One way would be to reference her fate in the crawl to IX, which would fit into the in media res opening sequence of the original film, but not really the rest, since none of the rest had significant story-points take place in between installments.

Damn, in hindsight I really wish she had a more prominent role in TFA. Rest in peace.

Here’s to hoping she has a stronger role in Episode VIII.

that is not funny.

It wasn’t meant to be funny Warb. She’s in the next movie and hopes she has a stronger role.

it has to be a joke as it is not possible for her to have a stronger role in the next film. She’s dead.

Is this supposed to be funny???

Why in the world would you think this is supposed to be “funny”?

I certainly hope she gets a more consequential role in the plot, not to mention some good screen time with Hamill.

Oh, groan, are you serious? That type of stuff is exactly why I don’t watch movies any more…

Ah shit. Yeah. Sorry about that. I didn’t realize what thread I was in. If you wouldn’t mind editing that out of your post hopefully we can preserve it for others. In the defense of the movie it’s really great and works really well in my opinion.

JEDIT: Wook too, I suppose. <_<

1.) This thread is meant to avoid Ep. VIII spoilers particularly, rather than Episogue One, avoiding spoilers for which has pretty much become the proverbial herding cats at this point;

2.) As far as spoilers of Episogue One go, that one was actually USEFUL for those who haven’t seen it yet, since it was a clue as to how horrible it evidently is; and

3.) S’wook need not edit, as long as we issue a disclaimer that SPOILERS ARE BURIED IN THE EXPANSION QUOTES HEREIN.

Oh, I doubt that.

Meanwhile I only see two people who don’t need an invite, and one of them is me.

“I don’t need an invite, but it’s still nice to be asked”

I didn’t look very hard.

are you saying i am hard to look at?

So…should I be reading that in DeNiro voice, or Pesci voice?

This is definitely worth discussing – the OP was not saying anything in poor taste.

Well, frankly I found the “wild savages” comment to be insensitive to Indigenous Americans.

(Okay jokes aside…)

I know principal photography had finished, but I’m sure they’re going to go back for insert shots here soon.

Thank you for your responsive and informative post!
Good to know her performances were shot and preserved!
