Indeed.

The third eye notices every detail.

Get some glasses for your third eye, your vision seems blurred.

Hmm, I think we need to ask Jay to update the forum software, so we can embed videos in posts.

It seems you don’t have the third eye.

Welcome.

This is the semi-visible thread. Only the ones who see with the third eye can see its content.

Let’s start a petition to preserve the original theatrical thread title. It’s part of OT.com history and deserves to be restored.

And now it’s been changed again to be even more silly.

And again, a well-intended remaster that was meant to fix a few mistakes turned into a revisionist special edition.

Next, I expect someone to create a duplicate thread with the original typo, but all images are in lower resolution and then expect me to be happy with that 😉

I can’t tell if it’s that or if he thinks the post itself is ridiculous.

This is a really interesting excerpt from the upcoming “Making of Return of the Jedi” book.

Interesting to just how different his plans were back then. It also destroys the argument of the prequel fans that they were planned out that way all along ( i bet they’re going to love that 😉 ).

So to summarise;

Yoda doesn’t fight. He is more of a teacher.

NO MIDICHLORIANS

Jedi can love and marry.

ANYONE can learn to use the force if they are prepared to learn.

Luke & Leia’s mother was still alive until they were 2 years old

So they would have originally fit in pretty well with the OT.

Face palm

What’s that supposed to mean?

You should also add paragraph breaks. It’s hard to read in a clump like that.

But why would you even bother to read it?

He changed it to look like that. It used to be a (properly wrapped around) wall of text.

My point is there’s no reason to bother reading anything that starts with “I think Star Wars fans are the worst.”

My point is to discuss bad Star Wars fans. I even said I don’t think all Star Wars fans are bad, I just think some are.

I change the title, called “Let’s talk about Star Wars fans”.

fixed.

Also, please fix your original post. It doesn’t wrap. I don’t know what markdown code you used but you need to fix it.

He needs to get rid of all the extra spaces at the beginning of each paragraph.

MalàStrana is definitely right, you are trolling.

No. It’s called having a difference of opinion. Shame you can’t tell the difference between the two.

Hey, listen to Mala! He’s the expert here on ranking films super low to troll people.

I just noticed the same thing on my android phone.

Luke, Obi-Wan, Vader and Anakin were all connected from the very start. Making Vader Luke’s father in ESB was a nice way to break with the cliché of “hero avanges his father’s death”. But introducing Leia as Lukes sister didn’t add anything to the plot. In Star Wars, she’s a diplomat and member of a royal family. That’s enough for the plot, we don’t really need to know more. By making her Luke’s sister, you need to explore her background, as it creates more questions than it answers.

His stupidity is obnoxious. And simply acknowledging his obnoxiousness isn’t enough to justify it. That’s just another flavor of the old “Lucas made the prequels terrible movies on purpose” argument.

You mean CG lady with monkey eyes.

There’s no giant number IV on the cover of any release I care to watch.

Which is the whole point of differentiating between Star Wars and A New Hope.

Discuss at length and argue for several pages.

That’s not how it works. You need to say something ridiculous and then dismiss anyone else by saying even more ridiculous things.

Having Hayden appear IMO makes Anakins redemption less meaningful and deceptive. It almost pushes the idea that had he survived we are to think he will just return to the whiny young Jedi he was years ago which I think most of us will agree wouldnt be the case. IMO the redemption is more about a man turning his back on evil for good than simply reverting to who he had been many years before. The spirit Luke sees is the redeemed man who saved his life, not the whiny arrogant Jedi who would ultimately turn his back on good.

Thank you for saying this, so I don’t have to.

Referring to the 1981 version always irks me because we all watched Star Wars on VHS for years without having any problems with that subtitle being in the crawl, but now it’s apparently a crime against cinema.

I don’t really refer to the '81 version as ANH. If that was the version released alongside the SE in high quality, I probably wouldn’t be here. But sice that didn’t happen, I want the real deal and go all the way back to '77. Call it an act of defiance if you want.

Like Dom said, even though not all versions of the SE were publicly referred to as ANH, all versions of the movie that were called ANH by the public are SE versions. Therefore, I associate ANH with the SE. And since the '97 version is much closer to the '04 cut than the '81 release, it makes sense to file that one also under ANH.

When talking about Star Wars, I want to differentiate between the SE and pre-SE versions of the movie. Calling one Star Wars and the others A New Hope is a nice way to do this.

I wouldn’t go that far. Had Lucas stopped in '81 and released that version on DVD and later on BluRay, I probably wouldn’t care. But since that didn’t happen, A New Hope now stands for the first glimpse of the revisionist bullshit that was to come. And now, I associate it with the Special Edition, rather than the '81 home video release (or the theatrical re-release).

I was being decidedly unserious.

That’s how I took it. I just wasn’t sure if you were implying that I was too harsh on the '81 version.
