Mocata

It’s got to be the Maclunkey version, especially after that Kathleen Kennedy speech about the BFI print being super rare and whatever. Even the name has been revised again! The sequel trilogy era convention of losing the numbered episode is still in effect.

Edit: the online press thing claiming this is a “once in a generation event” is weird too. Like, is it the 1977 version? If it’s not why is this such a special event? If it is are they going to put it into a vault for a few decades and not stream it until a new generation grows up? What are they talking about?

re-release of the 1977 classic back for a limited time, in theaters everywhere.

Star Wars: A New Hope

What the hell are they going on about, jeez.

Please post some screenshots of this.

I think the dancers/singers were new additions (even with the same actress who falls in the pit) but the ending has extended 1983 bits with Wedge and Lando. Beyond the Biggs on Yavin stuff in ANH I can’t think of anything else off the top of my head.

After two months the legend post something on the forum. Love the despecialized editions, I just showed them to my grandmother, who’s never watched any of the Star Wars films, and she loved them. thank you for your work.

I read your posts, I especially like the $£200,000 part. Thank you for the laughs.

Please post some screenshots of this.

Here’s the “rumour”

Because now the well-known “Star Wars” YouTuber EckhartsLadder reports that documents have been leaked to him by a source that prove that Lucasfilm is working on a restoration of the original theatrical versions of all three titles of the original trilogy. He assumes that the plan is to make these available on Disney+ as an extra in the future.

So, I have a fairly big, genuine bit of Star Wars news to leak.

In short: Lucasfilm is in the process of restoring the Star Wars Original Trilogy for public release. Probably on D+.

And there is proof.

I’ll explain as much as I can, though there are limits to what I can share. pic.twitter.com/09sXXaiqcY

Yeah, I think Mocata was being somewhat sardonic or flippant

I would never.

A language model (AI)

Edit: wait I could have sworn nobody else posted to answer this above… weird

“This is some rescue (she mouths something like AH!) (cut to Han shooting) … you came in here didn’t you have a plan for getting out?”

Possibly after the first part she’s just getting bashed by Luke’s costume or the pyrotechnics caught her off guard, and then they just spliced the second half of the line from another take? There’s probably some editing and dubbing trickery here.

So… is the only real movie The Mando one or is that going to be cancelled after the fact WB style?

I think we firmly established that Yub Nub was better in the last thread. Trust me.

I couldn’t find one unless oojason has something like that, but here’s a 1980 interview I came across in my search, just for anyone that wants some light reading:

https://web.archive.org/web/20220817144838/https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/the-empire-strikes-back-and-so-does-george-lucas-52767/

One of the funniest I saw (probably on here in the past) was the clones Obi-wan sees are supposed to be eating in a big room but the all bowls are empty. The ones on either side are busy cutting into nothing.

Well you know what I mean, especially considering anniversaries coming up, or the way SW is celebrated ever year both on May 4th and the actual release date. I don’t think a print from 1929 is the same, but of course both should be kept safe and preserved for the purpose of film history.

Someone should interview Christopher Neame about playing Jerec too.

Yeah it’s all kinda weird that they have this, but no other screenings are planned. And that Kennedy claimed for years nobody knew where a copy could be found, when fans have worked on their own for ages now. So I guess it existed for a moment that has now passed, seen by a handful of people in one tiny corner of the country.

Sigh…

I read the screenplay for ROTS, or at least the one that came with a “The Art Of” book in 2005. At the time I thought it wasn’t so bad. Probably because I could imagine it with less cringe and not so many weird performances.

Jealous. Does this kind of technicolour version form the basis for any current fanedits?

For those asking whether Lucas knows about the screening, it was approved by Lucasfilm. Kathleen Kennedy was there & paid tribute to George & ILM. She said there were big plans for Star Wars’ 50th anniversary but there was no indication of a wider release of the original cut.

That would really be something.

The brightness alone is totally different.

You’re writing a fan fiction?

Mia Goth joins the cast

Mia Goth is set to join Ryan Gosling in Shawn Levy’s “Star Wars: Starfighter” feature which will begin filming this Fall in the UK.

Gosling will reportedly play a character that must protect a youngster against evil pursuers. Goth will play one of those pursuers.

Goth is reportedly taking the same role that Mikey Madison had been circling before her deal fell apart over money.

Yeah that seems unlikely but it’s pretty funny, especially when the “insider quote” was that he’s the Ahsoka guy not the Andor guy. Just a few years ago there would have been a positive buzz. A normal producer with long time movie business experience is more likely, if Kennedy ever really goes. Which is also unlikely as usual.

The only part was the Force healer scene, which did something interesting for once. The character being played by the violent detective from last year’s Kneecap threw me though (good movie btw) but I guess that’s range. And another anti–authority story in its own way.
