Info Wanted: A question for VIII Fan Editors - re working in 4K...

I just don’t see the point in such high resolutions. Also, I want a consistent resolution for all the movies, and they’re not all available in 4K.

Yeah but even if the release would stay in 1080p having a 4k source would be useful because you could crop and reframe shots while still having 1080p quality. You know, like handman just said.

I’m going to be completely honest, I can’t complain that an “inconclusive” HIV test disqualifies someone from donating blood. Better safe than sorry. And by the way this is coming from someone who also is barred from donating blood so I know how you feel.

I give blood regularly. Apparently, redcross.org says I’ve donated 42 times.

What does that have to do with my post?

I’ve made lots of posts.

Well I wouldn’t say that, but I’m (debateably?) post-millenial so idk how much that counts.

Oh, I wasn’t trying to say that’s what you were doing at all. I was trying to be light and flippant but it may not have come across that way.

But since I brought it up, I’m demisexual.

I didn’t know that it was a thing. I’m not saying it isn’t. It describes me to a tee as well. You could show me the most beautiful woman in the world but unless Ive known her and connected with her or we’ve shared a personal moment or something it won’t matter to me. Probably why I’ve never understood sex appeal in movies before, I’m not going to find any of the actresses attractive because I don’t know them. If it’s story driven I will Probably liken them to somebody I’m close friends with in real life without even realizing I’m doing it.

Ive never known it as a label before I thought it was just the way I was. Huh, what do you know.

After thinking about it a bit more, there may be a third option for completing the Kylo arc. Rather than 1: Achieving total victory or 2: Being killed, he could just walk away from it all. I imagine it could play out where Rey creates some new, stripped-down version of the Jedi without all of their rules and hangups, and Kylo could realize that he really doesn’t have any problem with this interpretation of the Force. He realizes that even after destroying everything that reminded him of the past, it still haunts him, and that he’s the problem, not everything else. He helps Rey defeat the First Order and return peace to the galaxy, then disappears from the story for good.

get behind this.

Most Baffling Complaint of a Star Wars Movie

ROTJ:
When DS2 exploded, lots of construction workers, engineers, etc, died.
When Luke is dragging Vader towards a shuttle in the Death Star’s docking bay, there’s people scrambling in the background, yet no one stops to question why the Emperor’s menacing 2IC is being undressed by a blonde kid - everyone knew the station was doomed. I’m pretty sure the workers would have been the first to drop their tools and GTFO at the first sign of trouble.

The DS2 was finished, the incomplete look was part of the trap. Pretty sure all the contractors were packing up or gone by the time the Emperor arrived. Those were Imperial officers running around in a panic. No time to consider or gawk at Vader. To quote Douglas Adams, it was Somebody Else’s Problem or SEP. 😉
Or maybe Luke used the Force to conceal them both?

Then what was the “apparent lack of progress” Vader was on about in the opening scene? If any significant amount of progress was made between then and when the emperor arrived it wasn’t even hinted at unless you count that guy saying he would try.
