The costume almost looks too big on this chap. So an insert shot makes sense to me. Also note the Endor backdrop seems rather small. This could have been shot at ILM months after principal photgraphy wrapped.
Is he actually wearing the Vader costume? Looks he stood behind the costume-on-a-hatrack and just sticked his arms through.
Take a look at the top:
1987
Disney News (= something NEW will happen)
George Lucas without beard (= could be a metaphor for no Digital Enhancements)
Office Copy (=could be a codename for the Original Negative at Lucasfilm)
And here we are 30 years later. The SIGNS are everywhere … OUT could happen.

Wow. Everyone is just giving up now aren’t they? I refuse to accept a world where a fan edit is the only way to watch the original versions.
I will not give up on the Original Trilogy. We’ve made too many compromises already; too many retreats. Lucas let Greedo shot first and we fall back. He inserts Hayden Christensen in Return of the Jedi and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn at the 40th anniversary of STAR WARS! This far, no further! And I will not buy another Special Edition release!

Who is this Hans character? Maybe she was thinking of Hans Gruber? 😃
It’s probably THIS guy:

I guess we’ll all find out when she shows up at Celebration.
The evidence is obivious…
CLUE 1 is very subtle
CLUE 2 is clearly an Anakin & Padme reference
CLUE 3 ANH 4K RESTORATION CONFIRMED by Cher
George didn’t want them to look good next to his crap digital fake world prequels.
Episode I is not digital.
Some of the Reshoot scenes were shot digitally, so Episode I is partially digital.

Wait, are you saying The Matrix DIDN’T invent the concept of a chosen one? Silly. That script has been floating around for ages.
Well, no, yes, no … i just have a theory that Lucas got his creative PT influence completely from Eddie Murphy movies.
Jedi Council
Boss Nass
CGI Yoda
PT Palpatine / Count Dooku
Jar Jar
Neimoidians
Geonosis Arena Execution
Anakin (fallen angel+overemphasized)
The chosen one thing was taken from Matrix.
Nope. Lucas’ mind probably took it from THIS movie:
OMG, Boba Fett … a real ladies’ man
Ani VS Aliens
The site makingstarwars.net posted a rumor about the release of the OOT for the 40th anniverary:
http://makingstarwars.net/2017/02/rumor-unaltered-original-star-wars-trilogy-re-released-year/
They state: “Several sources have let us know it was coming and it appears to actually be on the way this time.”
Considering makingstarwars.net has a track record for generally posting reliable rumors, should we be hopeful?
I wish the editor would mention his evidence and tips 😉
The same goes for the German title “Die letzten Jedi”.
What? Not “Die letzten Jedi-Ritter”? I’m disappointed. 😉
My disappointment surpasses yours, because it’s not “Die Letzten der Jedi” 😉
Die Krieg der Sterne - Despecialized Edition ist jetzt auf Version 2.7 geupdated worden 😃
GENIAL 😃 😃 😃 Vielen vielen Dank!
The original “seedy” ‘Lapti Nek’ music is great IMO.
Really? I mean, it’s better than Jedi Rocks, but so is a kick in the balls.
At least ‘Lapti Nek’ sounds more extraterrestrial than ‘Jedi Rocks’ which sounds like a Las Vegas dance number.

Sloppy writing, wanky storytelling and bad acting for the most part. It was an ok film but it could’ve been sooo much better. It’s still better than TFA…THIS. My man 😃

I was 4 years old when my father took me to the local cinema for my very first movie experience: Return of the Jedi.
All i remember is some stuff from Jabbas Palace and … the Speeder Bike Chase 😃

Say, you wouldn’t happen to have a copy of the 1993 version of LucasArts’ The Dig?
What? Please explain. I’m curious.
STAR WARS EPISODE VIII - THE FEEDING OF THE DISNEY HATER TROLLS
Yeah, I can’t watch the movie without that line in it. It’s my favorite gag in the film.
It, along with the stormtrooper bashing his head off the door only to later have the sound effect added.
Did they really do this?
I remember the first time I noticed that guy smack his helmed forehead, probably on approx. my 75th viewing of the film.
Ever since, I can’t see anything else.
God that actor musta felt like an asshole. It probably really hurt—he hits that shit pretty hard!Yeah, the sound was added in for the 2004 DVD release to tie in with another gag that ties back into this one. In AotC, they made a callback to this by having Jango Fett bang his head on the door of Slave I. And so now the comedy is that Jango’s clumsy DNA got into the Stormtrooper vats! Har har har!
Yes, Lucas mentions that in the AOTC audio commentary at the very specific scene. Another one of these many things he thought that would be considered … funny.
The Enforcement of the Force
Here I talk about hash browns and especially about rehash browns. You and others essentially talk… about me. You’re curious.

If you want to find out what George Lucas was thinking when he made the PTI think if George could have, he would have made the originals exactly like he made the prequels.
It shouldn’t be underestimated that Lucas’ creative judgement became heavily influenced by his fatherhood since the early eighties. Ewoks anyone? During the Phantom Menace production phase, his son Jett was at age of 4 to 6. Jett inspired him to create Jar Jar Binks’ name. Phantom Menace became so childish because he wanted that Jett enjoys the movie. During the Clones production phase his two daughters had to live trough puberty —> Anakin & Padme romance. One of Lucas’ daughters had a crush on N’Sync so Lucas wanted to put them into the Geonosis Arena battle as backround characters. Lucas’ alibi “I make movies for children” can be changed to “I make movies for MY children”.
