4K restoration on Star Wars
Time

I wonder if they will really do it. I mean the fan edits are constantly spreading, someone must be a little concerned. Or at least money hungry enough to do this.

I just saw this today https://youtu.be/wesnVOgEYNQ

A few seconds in I realised it was actually a Harmy video. (feel free to repost if I missed a general SWDE ‘sightings’ type of thread) It’s still gaining popularity beyond the Outer Rim of the internet.

It’s kinda pathetic that extra features got worse in the BD era for some things. So many barebones releases or obvious money grabs that will be replaced by more extensive versions. I don’t care about 3D. Just make it worth the purchase.

His version is the theatrical.

I want to see the trailer version.

The crashed X Wing looks a tad out of scale.

Hahaha it’s not on the right layer, the whole thing is terrible

Ranking the Star Wars films

Apparently this crazy question pushed them over the edge?

TV’s Frink said:

Beyond I’d like to know what you loved about ROTS and AOTC while loathing TFA to the point that it’s the worst Star Wars created.

I was curious to what the response would be.

Rankings though; it goes SW, ESB, ROTJ
I know that Empire is deeper and more dramatic, but I just have a thing for Tatooine and the Trench Run. Plus Peter Cushing and Alec Guinness.

The problem is that the division between ownership of what Disney/Lucasfilm and Fox has is unclear, at least to me. Is it at all likely that a deal to spend money on this kind of thing for a new release would happen while another corporation has the reigns? Do the people that aim to profit from such a thing get along with the people that now own the negatives?

The exhaust port wasn’t retconned, but rather the reactor. Erso didn’t tell them to shoot a torpedo through the exhaust port, he told them to find a way to blow the reactor. They still needed to study the plans to find the way to the reactor.

Interesting, as I say I need to rewatch it.

The idea people have in their mind of Disney execs focus grouping the most profitable ideas for the script and writing them down is just a complete fiction.

Perhaps but TFA doesn’t feel like a human being’s creative vision. I hope you’re right, really. The next sequel will cement my feelings towards this all, and I don’t want JJTrek part 2 all over again.
