Star Wars (1977)

Concluded I’ve been lying all these years I’ve been telling people The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite Star Wars movie. Peer pressure, I guess. I’m just so happy when I’m watching the one that started it all!

This one sees the truth!

Just downloaded it and I’m scanning through.
Was there a reason that the updated X-wing approach shot wasn’t used?

Ugh, are you kidding me? That’d be my bad. I honestly can’t see the difference, even now, so even though I looked at everything, I did not notice anything there. I’m genuinely good with leaving it as is unless you feel like a substantial improvement is being missed out on.

Honestly it’s fine to leave it, I would just put the update in Starlight at some point anyway.

the biggest franchise of the last 100 years is probably McDonald’s.

Every post is so dense, there’s so much going on.

I’d have Leia die in the bridge explosion and remove her from the rest of the film. I’d remove Yoda. I’d have Luke burn the tree. Sensing Leia’s death would prompt Luke to confront Ren.

That’s dark, man.

Let’s say I have the SE DVDs, but not the Blu-Ray. Am I still eligible to watch Harmy’s DE? It’s an official release, but not the source.

Nope.

If they release a 4K version this year, will we all need to buy that in order to continue to have the DEs?

Yeah, the biggest problem with this film is lack of breathing room.

Either way the wiping the shoulder of dust doesn’t carry the tone.

Unlimited power?

He’s looking at the spaceship parked above him.

Yes, first-world problems and major nerd nitpicking. Sue me.

Actually, based on this forum, the level of nitpicking was minor at most.

You mean the visible from everywhere superweapon superbeam that makes planets go boom? The worst bit of that doesn’t exist anymore thanks to Restructured, and for the rest…

Besides, Starkiller was a one-off dumb thing. Hyperdrives as weapons hurt my brain the same way the implications of the shield/lasgun interaction does in Dune.

I read it as more metaphorical, like the guilt would never leave.

Excellent!

BTW, for anyone who feels compelled after watching this edit, may I suggest leaving a review on Fanedit.org? There are no reviews for version 2 as of yet.

then it can die.

Kill it, if you have to. 😉

I’m sorry to hear this. What is it with video editors and constant crashes? I have to use the 2014 version of Premiere Pro because any later version refuses to work with my computer, and bluescreen of death has become a predictable event. Oh, and any serious rending must be done on a borrowed computer because my graphics card is shot. I really need to get my tower upgraded.

Anyway, I hope FCP10 is a better solution for you going forward.

It wouldn’t have been the first time Luke has taken on walkers. 😃

JEDIT: And honestly, it seems like the story of how Luke took down a walker single-handedly would be a more widely-known legend, considering it was witnessed by the Rebellion that would have gone on to rule the galaxy and that it would have had decades to spread and grow.

I see.

The only open hostility towards religion I see comes from Republicans against Muslims.

I’ve seen quite a bit of left wing hostility towards organized religion, so it exists, especially in academia.

Except that the kids playing with the Luke doll are reenacting the Crait “duel” between Luke and Ben.

I can’t recall the dialogue during this scene. Do they reference it specifically? Even if so, it might be interesting to see this beforehand as a foreshadowing of how Luke literally steps into the form of his own legend.

Thank you!

If you are talking about the Stormtroopers in Maz’s basement, I’m not putting that back in since it’s not even a complete scene.

Because I can’t stop thinking about the scene:

One theory is that it takes more space for a ship to accelerate to light speed than the distance between the Raddus and the Supremacy, so it would only be going a small fraction of the speed of light at impact. Of course, that doesn’t fix the problem of weaponizing the hyperdrive.

So I imagine Hyperspace as a different dimension entirely, and ships accelerate along a non-Euclidean vector causing them to only weakly interfere with normal matter. So, most of the Raddus’s mass was already in Hyperspace at impact, making it much less violent.
