All those Dan Brown adaptations are lame. Rush was okay though.

Well it’s a masterpiece so why not.

try to use the Ring Theory then bitch that TFA was a rehash in the same breath.

I don’t think my brain operates on that level

the average viewer is a moron.

Correct. And so that is my point.

“In a 100 years people will know… etc” is total nonsense. People don’t know anything.

Popeye Doyle shot first!

But if you showed someone an average viewer today a colourised version, or one with sound added would they know what was wrong?

The truth is out there

None of the people in that time are going to have fond memories of watching Star Wars or Hayden’s Ghost or Jedi Rocks when they were little kids. Nobody is going to be a “Star Wars” fan and think the Emperor changes in ESB are awesome because they keep the “continuity” together.

No, but they will just think that is how it always was, and how it always will be…

George Lucas said:

A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality.

That’s obviously not going to be true. A lot of wanting there from George.

More than likely in 100 years nobody will remember the SE, but the originals will still remain.

Some people dont even remember the originals now though.

A truly morbid decision would be to present the stripped out scences as officially tagged DELETED SCENES … with introductory commentary from Lucas for each change. That Bonus disc would be some sort of hearing: the trial of the OUT with George Lucas as accused/witness/victim in one person 😉

This is truly horrifying. So that means it’s likely to happen.

Hoo boy

It was okay but they rehashed way too much from Businessweek Strikes Back

Even if someone did believe the ring theory 100% it’s not in any way a factor in what makes a movie good. It only exists because some lunatic was trying to raise up the PT to a higher place when in reality it will always be in the sewer.

God I hope not. But if true also fuck them for still using the who shot first thing.

George isn’t going to last forever, and while Kathleen Kennedy owes him her entire career and is forever in his pocket, she’s probably going to be gone too with time. What she must have like 50 years left in her? Have some patience, jeez. Set your clocks for 2070 you guys, that’s the date. You just gotta wait, it’s definitely coming. They’re just holding out on us for the 80th anniversary. Maybe the 100th. I can’t believe anyone would think it won’t ever happen.

Oh. That is a pretty poor showing 😕

How is the video rental business these days?

It’s real

Oh AT-ATs again. Fine.

^Doing ridiculous, dumb things is fun though, and I think that’s what a lot of people are missing. You start turning it into a lecture about “dignity” or “film appreciation” in the traditional sense, and you just miss the point.

Sure, for dumb teens posting “I am the Senate” jokes or whatever. They’ll get over it. But this was supposedly a journalist writing a real article, so they are supposed to be making a better argument than the same old re-digested shite. Then again ScreenRant is a joke, so what can you really say.

I think there’s something inherently stupid about the idea that everything holds up over time as long as you watched it at a young age, and by the same token inferring that young people can’t appreciate films that are older than they are. Kids buy into all kinds of garbage, that’s just part of life. Fads pass and franchises gather dust. But generally people mature and develop a taste for things that are well written and well acted, the key ingredients in any sort of lasting cinema whether it’s a landmark or not.

Arguing that there is actually some kind of hidden quality to a series that is panned for the most obvious reasons is laughable, like all these other pointless top 10s that make such absurd claims, which are about as ridiculous as that ring theory gibberish. If you like bad movies then just have some dignity and say it instead of writing sellout articles and pandering to fanatics.

The fact that they exist at all is worth celebrating
