Maybe an unused take of the race to the Falcon or the pad where Boba was taking off from? Meant to be a plate for a matte shot. Somewhere I’ve seen a still of a blue screen shot of Lando leading Han and the gang that was supposed to composited with a Cloud City exterior that never made it into the film.

It was used, the camera is above filming and they did have a shot from above when they were running to the Falcon with the matte painting around it. Cool image, I didn’t know it was shot outside.

It’s a car!! I really want to know more about how this shot was created now!

That has to be a joke from Topps’ part to make card from exactly that frame.

The theatrical cut wins. I think I watched both extended versions once, and it was enough. Usually there is a reason why things get cut.

I already posted that on page 25, but yes, that is awful.

but after copyright expiration

I’m not at all convinced this is ever going to happen, and currently have no reason to believe it ever will.

While I agree copyright extensions are already to ludicrous levels and may get worse, never is a very long time. It’s just my opinion, but I think they’ll give up before they hit 10,000 years. Also, the fact that copyright terms are codified into so many multilateral trade agreements actually makes further extensions a lot more complicated than they were only a decade or so ago. Not impossible, but certainly more expensive.

Unfortunately, at that point no-one cares. The film is owned by the one company that’s notoriously one of the reasons of updating the whole copyright law and already none of their films have been made to public domain. With limitless money you can change the laws.

By “before 10,000 years” I suppose I should have specified that I’m predicting considerably less than 10,000 years, but you know the Internet and sarcasm tags. I think they’re standardized at around lifetime+90 now, I’d say lifetime+120 is the limit before ludicrous turns untenable, at least on a global scale (all it takes is one country holding out and the whole extension house of cards collapses, with global trade and the Internet making imports not the hurdle they used to be). And at lifetime+120, there will be plenty of Star Wars fans still in existence. We won’t all have evolved into Eloi yet. I, however, will have evolved into mulch – I’ll grant that much.

I know, and naturally I didn’t take it seriously. I meant that even in 2100, I don’t think anyone cares anymore. Maybe just a niche group likes it as an interesting tidbit, but they don’t have anything personal attachment to it to care what version they are watching, if at all.

It’s interesting to think that the only time the big three are together in TESB is in Luke’s medical bay on Hoth.

While normally I hate changes, this is one change I can get completely behind of. Not only does the scene flow better, I’ve always loved the soothing start of the scene where you can pretty much relax for the first time in 30 minutes. Still, it would be great to have the original cut preserved.

While they just used the same graphichs as in the plans, I doubt that in the film they are “the plans” and more likely it’s just a general station computer where you can find info like the general alert about the rebels what 3PO mentioned later. It seems there are some menus on the sides so it’s like a main menu. Cool find though, haven’t noticed it before.

Bringing Palpatine back was necessary for the Skywalker Saga to properly conclude.

Noooooooooo.

They don’t care.

Nuff said.

That, and they have so much on their plate with Marvel, Fox etc. that some old versions of the movies they just released are most likely not even near their radar.

So, rearranging 525 pictures manually in an imgur post isn’t exactly my idea of fun. So unless there’s an easy way to share an imgur gallery that I don’t know about, I’m going to have to do it another way. Any suggestions? I’d prefer an option were the images can be arranged by name, otherwise the whole thing will be a complete mess to scroll through.

why would you upload pics from a making of that can everybody watch?
isn´t it better upload stuff that isn´t watchable,only exists as pics?
only a suggestion…

Agreed, times 10.

Speaking of misconceptions from this scene, before I saw ROTJ in HD I always though that this pillow was a part of Jabba’s body. When you see it in VHS quality it looks like some kind of weird flesh-bulge and it always grossed me out as a kid, especially since it looked like Salacious Crumb was partially inside it like some kind of marsupial pouch.

Oh my god, I thought the exact same thing as a kid!

Me too.

more images from benduwan’s quality collection of images from unused / deleted scenes…

Just to make it clear, most of these are just regular production photos from the scenes as they were filming and others were just set up even though they don’t have anything to do with the film. Only some of them are from actual deleted scenes. They took thousands of production photos for reference.

There would be no reason

That’s usually the starting point for LFL.

I think the compositing is vague enough here to support any interpretation as to where the lasers are coming from.

All three laser blasts come from the exact spot even though the Falcon is moving, and it’s not from the top or the bottom turret.

Mocata said:

It’s kind of debatable though. Even as it swings around right after the “they’re going after the medical frigate” line it’s not clear which guns are firing.

Is it though?

Those clearly do not come from the turrets. Funnily the Falcon fires only 3 times but the sound effect comes 6 times.

I’ve always thought that it had front lasers, for a guy like Han Solo it would feel really stupid if he only had the turrets. He even has hidden cannons to shoot people.

Does Greedo say “Das Maclunkey”?

Front lasers:

In SW Han was going to shoot the lone TIE Fighter from the cockpit before entering Death Star. In Holiday Special he says that he lost control of one of the remote cannons. In ROTJ Falcon used front lasers.

Does anyone know where to find an English-language copy of the international theatrical trailer used to promote Caravan of Courage: The Ewok Adventure? It’s online in Spanish and German versions, but the original English version seems pretty tough to find.

Spanish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r16BVkkytaY
German: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Du2okvV7Q

The runtime on the BBFC submission for the trailer looks closer to the more common US video trailer (https://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/caravan-courage-ewok-adventure-1970); anyone seen it on a CBS/Fox tape released in the UK?

Are those the actual theatrical trailers or were they just dubbed for rental VHS ads? It could very well be the latter, but still cool.

What made you think that?

In an early draft of ANH, the emperor’s name was ‘Cos Dashit’
because he causes the shit to happen.
No, I’m NOT joking, look it up.

I’m pretty sure it was also used in the 90s’ merchandise.

I think Indiana Jones movies are overrated. They’re fine and fun to watch once in awhile but I wouldn’t spend any money to own them.

Same goes to Alien films.

I don’t remember there being a good comedy film in this millennium and that could actually compete with something from the 80s or 90s.

I don’t like any Marvel movie, MCU, Spider-man or whatever.

The first The Fast and the Furious movie is the best of that series.

Is there any place with a scan of a theatrical print or more images of it?

I sent you a PM.
