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
ROTJ is great
We need a Rogue Squadron anthology series
I sense a moderator’s presence…
Oh god I hope so
Yeah this isn’t another pro Disney shill article or anything. That never happened before…

Honestly, this movie is my last go-round with the New Continuity - having been lukewarm about TFA and completely disappointed by Rogue One and any of the new canon novels I’ve read (exception: Lost Stars). If “The Last Jedi” is anything less than amazing, I’m out. I’ll stick with the OT and the 1990s EU stuff that I enjoy.
This. (Except all that EU stuff, I haven’t the inclination.)

Oh it will live on for decades to come. But only in our hearts. Your average punter will buy whatever is shoved in front of them without knowing the difference, and those numbers are what matter.
I don’t see what’s so hard to understand about the 2020 thing.
I don’t see how getting the rights back somehow creates a useable master for the such a release, if it was ever to happen at all.
If they are not doing anything right now, I don’t see how 2020 is a realistic date. One because such a restoration is surely a lengthy process to have it ready then is not feasible. Two because if damaged and aged film prints are in bad shape now, they will be even worse when that time rolls around.
Poita whatever you are doing keep it hidden from the Empire or it will go the way of Mike Verta’s work.
Hahaha wat
There’s gonna be all kinds of horrors. CGI Jabba, CGI Young Greedo ™
That’s not symbolism. Lando totally raided Han’s wardrobe at the end of ESB though. So you could say, cut from the same cloth.
They’re confusing it with the word fanatic
It is theorized that desert planets might be rather common https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_planet
So it makes sense to have lots of them.
Get your astronomy outta here, this is a space wizard series.
It will be Tatooine again just because everything happens there now
