Okay, it looks like a forum bug … of using a different style for smaller browsers. I discovered this when I resized the laptop browse slightly smaller for more open screen area. The problem is the forum code thinks my new size is cell phone sized, and hence the different, larger-everything format. A fix would be to ID the device. Or, rather than use browser size, use the desktop size (might still be a problem if a phone has native high resolution).

Isn’t this how it’s supposed to be? As far as I know, this should be a quick fix for the migration, so it works well on mobile, and for the update computers are adressed. So this wouldn’t be a bug, it would be simply a missing feature.

This is the one I bring up whenever someone tries to make the “George’s vision” argument. His true original vision was . . . a couple of extra rocks? More than anything else (besides maybe the door to Jabba’s Palace), I think this is the best illustration of how George was just changing stuff for the sake of changing it towards the end.

George’s vision was: A red jacket for a guy who is on screen for 2 seconds. This coudn’t have been done with 1977’s technology, so he had to do it for the Special Edition.

You catch on pretty quick. Look over there.

He’s in a Naboo starfighter at the end, if that counts.

How many socks must a troll create, before you can call him a troll?

Oh and the first time, when the music is at its highest, Han is tipped over and the music suddenly stopps.

Everytime Han in carbonite is shown, play the music from 2001 when the monolith shows up.

This is of course true.

Hayden is just a terrible change, but it can be explained. But having a huge ugly CGI lump blocking the screen during an iconic scene is completely baffling.

Didn’t Frink post a video that confirms he’s the Invisible Man?

If we had robots that could do all that in 1977, Skynet would have taken over in the 80’s. 😉

It hasn’t?

…

Ohh, I mean: It hasn’t.

What’s wrong with people who like the PT though?

The problem with PT fans coming here isn’t that they spark a discussion, the problem is that every time one of them joins, they post the exact same stuff like the ones before. So we have the same discussions again and again, with the exact same arguments and zero progress.

And it’s not the wonderful London Symphony Orchestra that we’re used to. It’s weird. I think the whole score sounds great, and the orchestra performs brilliantly. But whereas (for example) the jump from LSO with Raiders Of The Lost Ark to an American studio orchestra for Temple Of Doom didn’t feel like a step down in quality, the Main Title in TFA sounds like a slightly naff warm up take. Shame. And a bit off topic. Sorry 😃

Are you saying there is a bigger difference between today’s LSO and the orchestra from TFA than the difference between the 1977 LSO and the 2005 LSO?

This isn’t OTTO, it’s OIIO.

Not that I figured it out myself, I only could see the dubbed version in the theater and my blu-ray will arrive only in two days.

Some of us love Nien Nunb and could probably say all of his lines phonetically (Shame overload).

DO IT!

Even Daniel Craig and some other actors I believe popped on the set for some cameo roles(I still have no clue who he is in the film).

I think Craig was the Stormtrooper who let Rey escape on Starkiller Base.

This is a very bold claim.

It is very poetic

I once had a wife named Padmé. She died. She died.
Palpatine told me I killed her. He lied. He lied.
Why, oh why, is my wife dead?
Couldn’t I have lost the will to live, instead?

This is the best Star Wars thing made in this thread.

Aka the prequels.

Scott109 said:

Considering the original trilogy states that Force sensitivity is passed down through bloodlines (“the Force is strong in my family…”)

This doesn’t mean that the force is hereditary. “The love for Star Wars is strong in my family” also doesn’t mean that liking Star Wars is determined by ones genes.

And then George Lucas sold the whole thing for 4 BILLION dollars. Why on earth would he still have a say in anything Star Wars related?

Maybe because he put in the contract that Disney can’t release the theatrical cuts? I’m not sure if that’s even a thing you can do when you plan on selling your entire franchise off. I’m not a lawyer. Plus FOX has partial stake in the films.
Then that one user on this thread contacted Ben Fritz at the Wall Street Journal and Fritz said that George Lucas is the reason why Disney/Lucasfilm has no plans to restore the OOT.

I just hope that Fritz is wrong and I hope that whole thing about Lucas denying Disney the right to release the theatrical cuts is just a bunch of BS.

And why would Dsiney accept such a clause? Would you buy something for 4 billion dollars and still let the former owner tell you what you can and can’t do with it? Neither Lucas nor Disney were forced to sign this deal, if Lucas wanted to have a say in Star Wars things, he could have kept his company, if Disney can’t do whatever they want with Star Wars, they could have let him keep it.

George Lucas can’t handle the fact that people like the original versions over his “vision”
George Lucas can’t handle the fact that people don’t like his prequel trilogy.
So what does he do?
He makes the original versions of the films unavailable on a modern format and he incorporates elements from the prequels into the original trilogy.
He didn’t even take up Robert Harris’s offer when he offered to restore the theatrical cuts FOR FREE
I was so glad to hear about Lucas selling off Star Wars to Disney, because I thought this meant that the
theatrical cuts would eventually be released. Well, it’s been almost 4 years since the deal happened, and we still don’t have them. I just hope John Landis is right about what he said. Maybe I’m just too doubtful about Disney.

And then George Lucas sold the whole thing for 4 BILLION dollars. Why on earth would he still have a say in anything Star Wars related?
