I think that is part of of the frustrations, or perhaps obstacle, to some fans getting into the High Republic?; the sheer amount of content out there.

A quick look here for anybody unfamiliar with the project: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_High_Republic

That is a LOT of content listed, almost overwhelming to anyone looking to get into it. Other than the what is going to be the 7 main novels, how would anybody identify what they may want o read, or need to read, to get the full enjoyment for stories and the characters?

The content listed above in the Wiki is only at Phase II, which they are around half way through? There’ll be a much more to come in Phase III as they warp up the project!

This isn’t an “uncorrected mistakes or unfixed issue”, but it is a mistake and issue for the quality of image on the 2019 editions to be so lacking in detail:

@adywan you did you use sharpening tools just wondering Someone said this shot looked overly sharpened. It was on a discord

Well that shot is from 2 different sources, as was fully explained in the original post on this site where i posted that image. No sharpening was done. It was to show how much detail has been scrubbed from the 2020 blu-ray, which is the image on the left, compared to the detail in the 2011 Blu-Rays, which is the image on the right. The panels on the droid in the 2020 blu-rays have been almost scrubbed away including the weathering.

There are more examples in adywan’s “Star Wars: Episode IV Revisited Edition” thread, on page 490:

Dave Filoni Teases What His Star Wars Movie Will Be: ‘You’re Looking For Moments That Define An Era’: Empire magazine
 

'Speculation abounds as to what that movie will involve – is it another step in the wider Mandalorian-Ahsoka-Thrawn story, or could it be the culmination of the whole thing? “Culmination is an interesting word,” teases Filoni, speaking to Empire at Star Wars Celebration. “The way I look at it, there are [small] stories, and then there’s the big story of the day, too. A New Hope, Empire and Return Of The Jedi tell the important parts of the tale that really define the history of the period. There are all kinds of sub-stories underneath that. We’ve been building all these small stories.” If the Disney+ series have allowed time to establish these characters and the New Republic era they inhabit, the movie is all about creating a bigger picture. “To me, a theatrical experience has to have a big idea – a monumental moment in the time period that changes what’s happening,” says Filoni. “What Tony [Gilroy] has done [in Andor] and what we did in Rebels, everything then changes when Luke blows up the Death Star. You’re looking for those moments that define an era, and that’s what the films really should be about – whether it’s characters coming together, or a defining moment.”

Filoni is open to all possibilities. “I have ideas, of course. I will not tell you what they are!” he laughs. But with Thrawn entering play, the fall of the New Republic in the distance, and plenty of Legends canon material to draw from (including the return of military base Tantiss in The Bad Batch, taken from Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn-centric Heir To The Empire novels) it should make for a thrilling tale. “There are little things along the way that I’ve built across different mediums, all in preparation for things that come later,” promises Filoni.’
 

Going on that it would appear this is likely going to be Thrawn or moving along the cloning stories, perhaps a mixture of both?

I agree that the original version feels like a western setting. In fact the different area of Tatooine in the movie feel like a real place with not much of a spectacle, it’s my fave location. When you see the town after Luke sells the speeder it feels like there’s a maze of eerie streets and alleys just out of view, not a bunch of flashy big buildings. The new one is like generic sci-fi stuff with extra towers and domes everywhere. Like any boring city they visit in the animated shows, they usually look like that. Plus the 90s CGI textures look like crap. Like something out of any generic blockbuster of that time.

Matte paintings and even models would have been more fitting than those 90’s CGI shots. They actually looks like a tv episode of any generic sci-fi show from the 90’s too. I’m with you, they look flat and fake looking, and likely cost considerably more that a talented matte painter or model maker would have?

Old Tatooine for me as well. Simpler, smaller, more elegant.

 
I’m with Phil Tippett and his response when asked what he thought of some of the SE changes:

“They’re shit.” He doesn’t think they’re necessary at all, citing as one example how he loved Lucas’ original, Sergio Leone-like approach to shooting Mos Eisley as this minimal, barren place and how now it’s just “filled with a bunch of… CGI shit.”

Yoda knows that Leia is in danger and tells Luke to complete his training and sacrifice her if necessary

Here’s the thing, though. Yoda doesn’t actually know if Leia’s in danger. The future is always in motion, and Luke’s vision of her and Han in danger could have easily been nothing more than a hypothetical vision of a possible future.

But yes, they definitely didn’t plan in any concrete way for Leia to be the other. Maybe it was an option they were considering at that point, but George hadn’t decided yet. I heard a rumor once that they were considering having Wedge turn out to be the other, but that always seemed like a stretch.

Leia being Luke sister was definitely a Retcon
it wasnt planned as Vader being Luke real father Luke Real Sister was going to play an important role in the Lucas first version of the Sequels Lucas envisioned Star Wars as a series of 9 or 12 movies.

Absolutely. Poor Nellith. We never got to know her.

You are correct in the OP, it is another retcon that causes issues in Leia becoming “the other” after the fact.

Luke says “they were in pain”, when Yoda explains he is seeing the future and Luke then asks “Will they die?”, Yoda answers with “Difficult to see” and so they were in a very real sense of immediate danger.

The retcon also clumsily fails to account for Yoda saying “there is another” privately to Ben, or Ben saying “that boy is our last hope”, since Ben is supposed to know about Leia.

It’s still pretty amazing how lucky George Lucas got with all these retcons, since there was always existing footage that serendipitously supported the retcon. Like with the Leia as sister retcon, they had the scene at the end of ESB where Luke is hanging underneath Cloud City, and calls out to her with the Force. And with the Vader as father retcon, they had the scene in ANH where Owen says “That’s what I’m afraid of” after Beru says Luke is too much like his father.

This stuff doubtlessly helped Lucas get away with claiming he had it all planned out since 1977. And plain old confirmation bias encourages the audience to ignore instances where the retcon fails, but remember instances where the retcon serendipitously seems to have been the plan all along.

I think you’re right, a lot of serendipity and plain good fortune on the retcon front. It still amazes me so many fans are willing to believe anything George says without question.

The worst thing for me is the recent Kenobi series, which drives a wedge through this conversation here between Ben and Yoda: “that boy is our last hope” and “there is another”; given Ben’s now earlier adventures with young Leia. Not to mention the growing number of other Jedi still around, after the fact.

Continuing on from that (and because I’m a slow thinker): that serendipity and good fortune ran out for the Prequels.

Having Ben be present at the birth of both the Skywalker children in the later ROTS film just makes him look inept, kind of sexist, or forgetful in the extreme.

Having so many other similar discrepancies, contradictions or jarring issues between the two trilogies really did damage the Prequels for so many fans back then, and in the years since.

That, and do I do hope they land this New Republic film, and whatever this “climactic story event” is. But that hope is fading if the quality and execution of stories is going to be like BoBF or the last season and a half of The Mandalorian.

Yeah, I know the feeling. It seems like the best Star Wars of the modern era is going to be the stuff that has Favreau and Filoni as far removed from production as possible. They’re both decent storytellers on their own, but they seem to feed each other’s worst impulses in a very strange way. Right now, The Acolyte, Skeleton Crew and Andor season 2 seem to be much more promising than anything “Mandoverse” related.

Exactly, and also how I feel about the new shows being distant from F&F.

I think we’re also a little tired of their “playing with action figures” and somehow honouring “George’s way” chats.

Like Emre says above, and many others on here too, Favreau had us concerned when he told the fans to go look stuff up online about how the end of Mandalorian season 2 ended (for anyone who hadn’t seen BoBF). He is the man in charge of doing crossover shows which form the “Mandoverse”, which is going to culminate “climactic story event", that will now be a film. And he is telling fans to go online and find additional content themselves? As he wouldn’t be explaining the resolution of that 2-season story arc taking place on another show, in his own show featuring those two main leads. Not even as a recap.

That is some lazy shit. And then season 3 began.

I don’t want sound like someone shitting on Star Wars all the time, yet F&F really don’t help themselves. If Thrawn is planned to be the climactic “climactic story event" in that film, I think they’re going to underwhelm and disappoint a lot of fans. Man I want to be so wrong on that and for it to blow us all away.

The What if the prequels were made in the 80s? podcast/video was a fun project to listen to, with some great calls for the casting.

So in a similar vein for this, I’d go with:

Old Han - Robert Forster
Old Leia - Debbie Reynolds (once I saw Morgan suggesting her I can’t now think of anyon eelse!)
Old Luke - Bill Bixby
Rey - Jami Gertz (maybe Jennifer Connelly if not too young for the role?)
Finn - Mario Van Peebles
Poe - Judd Nelson
Ben Solo - Kiefer (great shout by Morgan)

It looks like the “climactic story event” will be a part of, if not the whole of, the New Republic theatrical film:

A ‘New Republic’ era film (live action movie by Dave Filoni) - a general discussion thread
 

I do wonder if rumours that season 4 of The Mandalorian will contain rewritten and adapted scripts or stories from the now cancelled Rangers of the New Republic series.

On the official announcement for Rangers of the New Republic, was this description:

“Set within the timeline of The Mandalorian, this new live-action series from executive producers Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni will intersect with future stories and culminate into a climactic story event.”
 

Personally I think it is a bit shit we’ll have to go to the cinema and pay for tickets to see a possible finale for the various Mandoverse TV series that “culminate into a climactic story event”. Or wait a number of months until the New Republic film appears on Disney+.

That, and do I do hope they land this New Republic film, and whatever this “climactic story event” is. But that hope is fading if the quality and execution of stories is going to be like BoBF or the last season and a half of The Mandalorian.

I remember being convinced that the little Muppet was the Jedi Master because i was familiar with fairy tales. Luke was being tested. It was far too obvious. Lucas is many things but subtle isn’t one of them. But still it was clever and Frank Oz did it so masterfully you almost believe he is a real living breathing being. Mark Hamill is a good part of that as well though, because if he didn’t sell it in his performance it would have fallen all apart. With one of the very best scores every written for film, and one of Williams finest achievements.

All this too. Hamill, Oz and Williams’ music all give it that sense of realism, and almost an enchanting quality.

Hamill rarely gets the kudos for his acting in his Dagobah scenes, and it is easy to see why some people wanted to see Oz nominated for an Oscar (not the grouchy version) for his masterful performance.

MinchD36 said:

I remember the first time i saw Empire as a child i was surprised that Yoda was the green creature that Luke spoke with
i imagined Yoda being an old human Jedi Master like Obi Wan and the real Yoda his companion how did you react to the Yoda reveal?

I remember seeing Yoda for the very first time and thinking this alien looks magical, then a little strange and taken aback when he opened his mouth and the sound of those first words:

“Feel like what? Away put your weapon. I mean you no harm. I am wondering. Why are you here?”
 

The reveal that his creature was actually Yoda himself, after his many questions to Luke:

“I cannot teach him. The boy has no patience.”
 

I didn’t appreciate as a kid that the scene moves so fast due to Yoda’s delivery and Kershner’s considered direction that the reveal is almost overshadowed by Yoda’s letting Luke know he’s trained Jedi for 800 years and he needs no prompting from him if he is to be trained, and so on. The whole scene seemed magical, overwhelming to the emotions, that it was a lot to take in.

This super cool magical mysterious muppet creature seemed somehow real, but also otherworldly, to the point of complete belief of who he was.

And the scene just propels the story forward. I think in modern films this would have an epic theme running in the background, some sort of crescendo and visual build-up: a slow-motion montage or “hero shot” type scene. Yet in Empire, it just happened, it was cool and accepted, with the script and direction pushing you forward to the back and forth between Yoda and Ben’s conversation.

I remember having lots of questions at the time of watching, probably about what Yoda could do, and was going to do, but unfortunately I don’t remember the specifics.

Just a magical scene.

I also doubt George would allow a comic to spoil his Sequel Trilogy plans.

George had Sequel plans back then? Huh.

Before the "I said do sequels, because I’ll probably never do sequels”, also the “There will definitely never be Episodes VII-IX. That’s because there isn’t any story, I mean, I never thought of anything!”, and “That was created by the media, not by me.” in response to the question ‘Wasn’t there talk at one time of three trilogies?’ 😉

Taking an unreliable narrator at their word is tough the best of times.
 

Back to Minch’s ‘Did you think Lucas regret the way Palpatine died?’

I don’t think George did regret it. The toy and merchandise sales for Palpatine weren’t too high around the time of Return Of The Jedi! And the story was for Palpatine done, despite Ian McDiarmid asking George about it a number of times!

Oh yes, absolutely. Back then it seemed every Star Wars release was so cool, fun and had so many fascinating extras and content on them.

I don’t know what changed?: us all getting older, or Lucasfilm getting lazier or more profit driven? Maybe some cynicism (or experience) on our part a little too?

On ‘what changed?’ I think a little bit of everything you mention there, with more Lucasfilm getting lazier than they used to be.

Great pictures. Some awesome art used back then.

• There’s a lot more exposition about the state of the Galaxy. There’s a scene where a Rebel commander explains that after the Death Star was destroyed, many systems joined the Rebellion, but the Imperial navy is still very powerful, and is currently spread thin around the Galaxy pursuing rebel cells. This kind of exposition is missing in the final version, requiring us to infer these background details ourselves. (Also the final version seems to imply Echo Base is the only rebel base.)

I do like that the idea of knowing more about what occurred in the galaxy after the Death Star was destroyed. But for some reason, probably Kershner’s skill as a director and keeping the tension and stakes high, the focus on Hoth does leave us thinking this could well be most, if not all, of the rebels.

darklordoftech said:

I wish they made a comic adaptation of this draft like they did of the rough draft of ANH (“The Star Wars”).

“The Star Wars” sold very well and generated a lot of interest and publicity at the time. So it is very surprising they didn’t follow it up with a version for this draft script too. Most unlike Lucasfilm under Disney.

I’d still love to see it done, even today.

Emre1601 said:

It is such a pity we did not get to her 2nd draft and a polish, that she was contracted to do for the Empire script. Before the cancer took her, just weeks after she turned that first draft in to George.

Yeah, it’d fascinating to have seen how the draft script would have developed in Leigh Brackett’s 2nd draft in a “what if?” way.

Personally I really like the the original backstory idea for Lando Calrissian being one of the last few clones still around after the Clone Wars.

Emre1601 said:

I’d cherry-pick what many have already said in here about the Plinkett Reviews: 80-90% of the criticism is still valid, there are many funny points made, it articulated many of the large problems many fans had with the films rather than nitpicks, and the whole trilogy massive logic holes. And it resonated with many people as it was probably the first popular video or article to put all these fan criticisms and issues together in one place, along with even more attuned insights and views from Mike.

Someone on here posted recently about the Star Trek tactical guy appearing in Plinkett’s TPM review and the ST guy “calling out” the entire bizarre battle plan, and the “without the Viceroy they will be lost lost and confused” line. It is still valid, and still makes me laugh when you watch it or it gets referenced, even this many years later.
 

If I was asked to suggest a comprehensive review for the Prequel Trilogy for a new fan, then I’d still recommend this.

Bobson Dugnutt said:

I think the critisism and breakdown of the films are still really rock solid. The whole “describe a character” section is absolutely great, and shows why the film doesn’t work. Largely TPM has no protagonist and that’s one of its biggest flaws. Plinkett/Mike was able to articulate why he didn’t like it, and it largely resonated with people beacuse it put in to words how they felt about it.

Those are pretty much my thoughts on these Prequel reviews for me as well.

Muppet Babies referenced Star Wars in every single episode.

And The Muppet Show had a Star Wars themed episode, guest starring Mark Hamill.

That Muppet Show episode was great. Really enjoyable. The “Pigs in Space” sketches in many of Muppet shows were always good for some Star Wars and sci-fi references too.
 

A little after the 80’s, but the mentions in “How I met Your Mother” were quite funny at times.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZEi5ll0TuA

I’ll cheat a little, and go with That 70’s Show.

There were around 10-15 episodes with references to it? A couple of episodes were focused on Star Wars, or going to see it. For me they got the reverence just right, Eric being the the super-fan, the others liking it through to thinking it okay, through to Red!

Billie Lourd and Mark Hamill honor Carrie Fisher at ‘Star Wars’-themed Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony at CNN
 

 
'The late Carrie Fisher was honored by her daughter Billie Lourd and “Star Wars” co-star Mark Hamill on Thursday in a ceremony unveiling her posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The ceremony took place on May the 4th, widely known as “Star Wars” day, which The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce on Thursday also declared “Carrie Fisher Day” in Hollywood as Fisher’s star was unveiled.

Lourd donned a sheath dress showcasing an image of Fisher’s iconic character Princess Leia, and was surrounded by “Star Wars” droids at the podium when she spoke about her mom.

“Leia is more than just a character, she is a feeling,” she said, later adding that “people’s love for Leia didn’t die with my mom, it continues to get passed on from generation to generation, just like my mom passed it on to me, and I am now passing it onto my children. And hopefully, they will pass it onto theirs.”

Becoming emotional, Lourd went on to say, “I feel so lucky that even though they won’t get to meet my mom, they will get to know a piece of her through Leia. And I will get to tell them that the little lady in the TV is my mommy, their grand-mommy.”

“I can’t wait to bring my kids here when they’re old enough to understand how cool it is,” she concluded.’

Also in attendance on Thursday was Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker alongside Fisher and lovingly spoke of his “space twin.”

“Carrie was one-of-a-kind who belonged to us all,” Hamill said. He added that “she was our princess,” and described her as a “gorgeous, ferociously independent take-charge woman who took our breath away.”

Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi Returns To The Top 5 At The Box Office 40 Years Later

www.slashfilm.com/1273043/star-wars-return-jedi-returns-top-5-box-office-40-years-later
 

'Yes, Disney decided to re-release “Return of the Jedi” in theaters to honor the film’s forthcoming 40th anniversary and, as it turns out, audiences still really love the original trilogy. Per The Numbers, the 1983 blockbuster added $4.69 million (from just 475 screens) to its ever-growing total. It now sits at $479 million globally through its various re-releases, most notably the 1997 “Special Edition” 20th anniversary release, which was a huge deal. If nothing else, it shows that there is still a pretty healthy appetite for “Star Wars” in theaters.

George Lucas’ finale to the original trilogy actually pushed “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” (which added just over $4 million in its fifth weekend) out of the top five. That film’s disappointing run is truly starting to stall out at $194 million globally. Against a $150 million budget, this is not what Paramount or Hasbro had in mind, especially since the fantasy flick earned very positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. So it goes sometimes.’
 

Imagine how much it would have taken if it had actually been the 40 year old unaltered theatrical version, and not the 4 year old version from 2019.

Still, a great opportunity to see Return Of The Jedi on the big screen again.
