Can’t find this if it’s already been posted. I thought this was interesting and I caught most if not all of the cues and callbacks he discusses.

Oh yeah we talked about that one. Somebody was like fuck that guy. And I was like eh maybe.

As for the whole repeat viewing and score listening sessions, I just don’t feel it. Star Wars is a perfect film. Or movie if you’re so inclined. But this is just sort of vaguely entertaining but mostly slapped together and not quite there as an average movie for me. It doesn’t have any Binary Sunset moments or even any Cantina Band type sequences.

LOL.

Okay so back to reality, I find it worrying that the headline says “triumphant return”. Meaning they think it ever returned. This with SE scenes being in the latest EA moneyspinner signals two instances where they have ignored there is such a new version, and would rather just forget the OOT.
I wonder how the article itself will describe the 1997 re-release…

From what I can tell it’s all just one big publicity machine. It’s hilarious how much he complained last year, and now he’s back.
How can we get people talking? Oh let’s drop George’s plot ideas, publicly, then have him bad mouth us, publicly. But what now? Let’s get him back for a mutual ego boost to get people talking even more! He’s an embarrassment, but we promised people surprises and have nothing up our sleeves, I guess we gotta roll him out. What else is he doing, small personal movies? Hahahahaha sure.

Lucasfilm's movie plans post Ep. IX

Well they are already doing the annual release thing now. Will they restrain themselves? I think it’s unlikely unless they have real concerns about the bubble bursting. Maybe they will not do the Marvel thing which has TWO annually now, but releasing less is another thing entirely. Unless they need that Christmas release window for another product line.

I said, go to Google and type unaltered and you tell me what the first or second search suggestion is

No what I am saying is that who has heard of Smuggler’s Revenge, and who even buys books? It’s a niche inside a nerd fanbase. People that buy movie tickets to everything in the latest ‘Cinematic Universe’ are not going to care because they buy what they are told to. A few hundred people looking on Google or a dozen phoney eBay sales don’t amount to the kind of numbers needed to sell a real product on the global scale Disney wants.

“I shot first” was said during the Smuggler’s Revenge audio story and the entire audience clapped and cheered. You don’t think people get that the films were changed?

Well, some suggest that the reason we don’t have the OOT on Blu Ray is because not enough people know or care about the theatrical cuts but we beg to differ

The real question is what is Smuggler’s Revenge to a mainstream audience?

The idea that single unique negative for a film exists that has been forever altered is ridiculous to begin with, but the suggestion that digital effects and alterations done were “permanent” is more so. Lucas and his BS was always this way. Maybe he even believes it, since he came out with this line with talking about THX-1138 a few years after, but y’know the guy is missing a few marbles.
