JJ mentions "despecialized" - OUT not coming

New movies that respected and tastefully expanded the lore — and weren’t just aimless, poorly conceived and executed soft reboots — along with a restored release of the OUT, is all we wanted.

I just wanted the OUT. Competent new films would’ve been welcome, but I would’ve been content if the saga had remained closed.

The Skywalker family is completely dead and gone and the Emperor’s granddaughter takes the Skywalker name.

Imagine only having seen ANH and then being told this was the ending. That sounds like the villains win in the end. It makes it sound like this whole franchise is a complete waste of time.

This is why my love affair with postmodernism is over. Deconstruction without reconstruction is destruction.

Maybe the original idea of him as a sort of slimy used car salesman could show up in the prequels through dubbing. Especially if Anakin and Watto would have built him.

How about just making him Peter Popoff, but God’s just Anakin to him - thank the maker?

Was this worth even typing?

Popoff can never be mocked enough. So yes, it was worth it. Absolutely.

What I don’t understand is that if the original 1997 Special Edition prints were given a new remaster, then how come the sound mixes still sound so compressed as in the 2004/2011 releases? It’s incredibly noticeable for A New Hope.

I mean, just because they rescanned the film doesn’t mean they didn’t reuse the 11SE mix they already had. They certainly wouldn’t recreate it.

Yeah, keep your expectations in check. This isn’t a Harmyfilm Restoration or Adywan Productions product.
This is an official release we’re talking about. They leave the quality to the fan projects.

Hollyweird in a nutshell.

I love how all the characters who SHOULD have had unique lightsaber colours never did, but worthless non-entities like Windu and her get to be special snowflakes.

Maybe if I wish real hard, Star Wars will retroactively end after the publication of Vision of the Future.

Disney revises and buries the original versions of their own films without reservation. It’s laughable to believe they would approach Star Wars any differently.

And this is why I’m boycotting Disney. It’s not merely because I hate the ST; it’s due to everything they do, their approach towards filmmaking and film preservation and copyright in general. All corporations are evil, but Disney’s a breed apart, and I won’t feed that godless abomination a single non-circulating Canadian penny.
