Most pointless Special Edition change?

Slightly off topic but I just stumbled on this 1997 interview with Lucas after the first SEs came out. Funny how he says there’s more he’d like to make but there’s ‘no plans’ to change them again. Interesting how he also brings up that enhanced versions of the Indiana Jones films were gonna be done which fortunately we never got.

I love this little bit:

George Lucas said:

“How can the prequel possibly meet the expectations that the fans and public have for it?” Mike Gruber-- Fresno, CA

"The audiece will see visual effects unlike anything that has ever been put on film before. This film will have beyond state-of-the-art digital effects. And also the story arc in the prequels is stronger and more complex than that seen in the original trilogy. I am making the kind of Star Wars film that I want to see and it’s the one that has been playing in my mind for the past twenty years. When the film is released, it will be the best Star Wars film that I know how to make. Will that be enough? We’ll just have to wait and see . . . "

FOTFLMAO

Nope. You can thank my pothead parents who never had steady jobs

That explains why you never went to a movie before the age of 13.

and my utter lack of close friends growing up for that.

You don’t need close friends to see a movie.

The nearest theatre is beyond walking distance and I can’t drive, so. . . .

Bus? Taxi?

I’ve actually got a number of bus tickets saved up. These days, I suppose you could say I just lack impetus to go. Nothing modern Hollywood produces interests me very much, there are no arthouse theatres around here that I’m aware of, and there certainly are no theatrical re-releases of older films I’d definitely want to see on the big screen.

The difference being that you aren’t a pothead I assume? Unless you’ve gotten a job without announcing it.

JFTR, I have nothing against potheads in general, just potheads like my parents who spent money on it constantly when they have more important monetary concerns to deal with.

Like supporting you for example because last I heard you hadn’t had a job in over ten years either.

It’s more like the other way around. Without my disability money, they’d be further into debt than they already are. Not to mention that I have to chop the wood, start the fires, do the laundry, and all the various other menial chores they can’t do anymore due to the poor health they brought upon themselves.

But this discussion is getting off-topic, so I won’t continue it here.

A place for self reflection.
Time

I sometimes ask myself what I would say if I were allowed the opportunity to travel back in time and speak to my teenaged self, but were only allowed around five minutes to do so before being yanked back to the present. I suppose I’d tell him this:

  • Everyone is right, you’re wrong. Now start bathing everyday, not just on Sundays.
  • You’ll never be a rocket scientist, but you’re no dumb ape either. Apply yourself, do your homework and complete your assignments on-time and to the best of your ability, get the best grades you can get, and strive towards graduation.
  • Don’t sit on your lazy ass watching shitty episodes of Mutant X and say to yourself that a job is something you don’t have to worry about now 'cause it’s a concern for the future. Before you know it, the future will be now and then where will you be? Stuck living in a decaying shithole with a family you have nothing morally, spiritually, artistically, or intellectually in common with. Grown a pair, seek out a job, and prepare yourself for adulthood.
  • You have homosexual tendencies within you. Don’t get all fearful and hateful; don’t become a loathsome homophobe. Accept those traits for what they are – a minor tinge in an otherwise wholly unshakable heterosexual make-up – and move on.
  • You like a certain girl? Show her you possess sensitivity, thoughfulness, intelligence, and most of all respect for her as a woman and as a person. First impressions matter; don’t fuck up what can be a beautiful relationship – platonic or romantic – right from Day 1.
  • Don’t allow your parents’ religion to define your reality, your morality, or your concept of God. Let the teachings of Christ and the findings of modern science inform you, not outmoded stories of gardens and trees and arks and floods and parting of seas.

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

If the last Jedi is Luke we will defo see an ESB rehash with Luke training Rey ffs!

No doubt Luke will be killed by kylo ren yawn. And Rey will watch him get killed!

So… uh… should Luke not train anyone? Should Rey not become a Jedi? Or are you just trolling?

Luke should definitely train Jedi and Rey should become a Jedi. But not in a rehash way.

Luke is in hiding. Luke being the last of the Jedi. Rey goes find Luke to get trained. By the book rehash of ESB.

To be fair, this rehash was primarily perpetrated by TFA.

I think Episode 8 won’t be a rehash, because there isn’t enough left material to rehash.

That hasn’t hindered you any.
