Star Wars Insider celebrates the 40th anniversary with...
Time

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.

Rogue One * <em>Spoilers</em> * Thread
Time

Rogue One… or how I realised how to stop worrying and watch TFA. This is a cold, grey movie. I overlooked certain flaws (while admitting it’s lacking character development) on the first viewing, but seeing it again today one thing crept up on me. It’s kind of a dull slog up the end when they throw in a big spectacle. Tarkin is horrible. His head is even the wrong shape never mind the bad CGI or the bad voice acting. Leia is horrible, especially the way her lips move on her teeth when she says “hope” which is clearly not a new piece of audio. I want to like this movie, really. But it’s not happening, despite my lukewarm first impression which was more positive than not. The things that I liked before just didn’t provide the excitement another time around, and it doesn’t hold up. Sorry for the weird complaining but I just wanted to get it out of my system.
