If the rumors of ghost Hayden being in Episode 8 are true, then all chance of an OOT release outside of bonus material in the vein of the '06 DVDs is gone.
I thought the latest was that he didn’t want to do it (facing further fan ire).
I’m sure the Rebel Force Radio guys were discussing that the other day.

More angry than Han shooting first.
More angry than CG Jabba.
More angry than Weesa Free.
Less angry than Hayden retcon.
November 1998: ‘the Phantom Menace looks AMAZING from the trailer - every journey has a beginning!’
May 1999: ‘…’
What are the new tan helmet scout looking troopers called?
Kevin, Malcolm and Nigel!
She is kind of plump.
What the actual fuck?
Thought that looked great!
Back to eyebrows: would you believe they actually acknowledge this on starwars.com on the episode page?!
“Although the final cut of Return Of The Jedi has an eyebrow-less unhelmeted Darth Vader, to better read in animation, the animation model has the dark brow visible through the cracked helmet.”!
Somebody appears to be using the term “final cut” in the Blade Runner sense.

I thought it was terrific stuff, the finale. Plus:
Rebels is canon.
Anakin has eyebrows in Rebels.
Anakin has eyebrows in Harmy’s ROTJ.
Harmy is canon.
Question - presumably Cushing’s estate would have to okay and my CG style appearance?
Episode VIII thread for those of us with an IRONLIKE ability to resist temptation unlike the wild savages in the spoiler thread.
Off you go…

Vintage OT #moment right here.
I’m so happy this is finished! Congrats to Harmy! Will grab this and kick back a bit for ESB 2.5 and then run the marathon my GF has been nagging about 😃 These are indeed
good times for OT fans!Really looking for the new comparison gallery as well. I’m also curious towards
what GOUT footage there might be that is left in. GOUT would seem obsolete now the
35mm is avalaible, but I guess getting rid of it would call for every single
bit to be despecialized again from scratch.Cheers!
There’s only one shot left using the GOUT - it’s sort of an homage really - I just wanted all the v2 versions to have a little piece of GOUT, since while on it’s own it was a terrible release, it was still very helpful in the end. So I will smuggle some GOUT into ESB v2.5 as well 😉
You sentimental bugger!
You beauty!
Please. Where can I download V2.5 of RotJ?
Always read the first pages of these threads.
It’s not out yet.
Welcome to the forum.
George has a new original vision once every three or four years!
Are we going to count Rogue One and other spin offs in these rankings?
I never use the Episode IV bit; not for any principled reason, but just because Star Wars is too deeply embedded in my soul as “the first one”.
Yup.
Trust in Larry Kasdan, lads.
I mostly watch the letterboxed 95 VHS tapes or Harmy’s Despecialized Editions of the OT since it’s really the original unaltered versions of the OT that deserves more credit than the SE’s.
Do you feel the call to the light when you watch Harmy’s?
RotJ has always been my favourite film of the SW series. It has the most fluid space ship battle, and the best light saber battle. It also has some of the scenes that I like most, like Jaba’s sail barge, and the speeder bike chase. And it also has some of the best Darth Vader moments. Jedi also has many of the series’ deepest and strongest emotional points, with Luke helplessly watching the Rebel fleet from the Death Star while the emperor taunts him, and while he tries to redeem his father, but his father resists, and tries to break Luke, and use Lea against him, and then Luke breaks… and when Vader dies, saved… the funeral pyre for Vader, the ghosts of Obi, Yoda, and Anakin…
I also love Jedi’s ending (though I prefer the non SE version), and I’m very glad that Harrison Ford didn’t get his way by having Han Solo die in the movie, which I think would have been a cheap emotional cash-in that SW didn’t need, and that its story accomplished a perfect resolution.
So much criticism towards Jedi seems to be about the Ewoks, but people taking issue with Ewoks should think about this: Full body armour that does nothing to protect the wearer, and only makes it difficult for the wearer to see, and walk. If Storm Troopers aren’t a weak point of Star Wars, then Ewoks are completely in the clear.
I think that the people who critique RotJ for Ewoks just have latent teddy-bear issues or something, and that their gripes say something about only them, and not the movie.
I’ve grown to appreciate Empire Strikes Back more over time, but at best I say it’s equal to Return of the Jedi - which is a pretty darn good compliment. I think the series goes RotJ (best), ESB (2nd best, up to parity with RotJ), IV (decent, even good, but also rough in many ways).
Yes.
The CDs appear to be SE only, while vinyl is original. iTunes has both digitally
But isn’t that just the regular SE releases?
The new Ultimate Collection on iTunes is OOT only, no?
If I hadn’t got the 1993 box set I’d be all over that new iTunes collection.
Got the limited edition Empire magazine Kylo Ren issue / figure for Christmas which was nice.
I don’t hate Lucas for making them and they have I guess a right to exist. But trying to erase the OOT out of existence is what irks me. But now that he’s not apart of anything, it’s hard for me to be angry at him still.
This!
