The "I Just Bumped The Hell Out Of An Old Thread" Thread
Time

(1-Bumping the thread) I bumped a thread from 2005: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/My-theory-on-when-O-OT-will-come-Just-a-theory/post/733717/#TopicPost733717

(2-The results) Silverwook found it mildly annoying (or maybe not--it's hard to tell): http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/My-theory-on-when-O-OT-will-come-Just-a-theory/post/733719/#TopicPost733719

(3-The profit/monetary gain/entertainment value) There wasn't any profit, I didn't make any money, and it was only entertaining so far as it meant I wasn't performing the boring activity I was supposed to.

(4-A lesson learned from this experience) TV's Frink is a bad influence. I think I should only bump threads in Off Topic in the future.

(5-What I should have been doing instead of bumping the thread) I had math homework!?

My theory on when O-OT will come (Just a theory)
Time

CO said:

I am thinking when Lucas releases the HD-DVD Version in 2007, just a rumor, but you hear it all over the internet. Here are my reasons why:

It will be a box set of all 6 movies, including updated scenes and effects of all 6 & plus the O-OT as a seamless branching version. It will also have the deleted scenes from the OT we didn't get in the 2004 DVD release, and new featurettes on the saga as a whole. This way Lucas covers all markets: He gets the fans who want a box set of all 6 movies (prequel gushers), the fans that were waiting for all 6 to be released (small group, but there are some out there that are still waiting), and all of the disgusted OT fans who are clamoring for the O-OT on DVD. This way, it will make everyone happy in one big box set, and it will cover all bases of SW fans.

The theory I think on why they will release the O-OT on DVD with the boxset is, they know many fans who are disgusted with the PT, won't be interested in a new boxset, but putting the O-OT with those updated movies, how can we resist?

It is just a theory, but as much as I bury Lucas, and feel he has lost it sometimes, he is a damn good marketer, and he knows when SW can make money, as Yoda would say, "Making money, that he has never lost the ability to do!"

 I think this is a really great theory.

If new movies happen sooner i could easily see massive sith and Jedi armies, it just looks exciting.

It doesn't look exciting. It looks boring. It also destroys everything good about lightsabers. When it comes to lightsabers on screen at once, less is more.

Few lightsabers on screen at once = Star Wars, Many lightsabers on screen at once = glowstick rave

 tht's like saying all martial arts fights should be between 2 people in movies. You gotta mix it up a little, it's not 1977.

I actually do think that armies of sword wielders inherently suck. The reason that the OOT didn't have armies of sword wielders was because there were people to say no to Lucas, not because of technical limits.

 Citation needed.

Perhaps he just hadn't thought of it, or the fact that there were a very limited number of Jedi in the OT eliminated that possibility?

When You Are a Movie/TV Character...

If you are a male character you can have forty pounds of mussel despite the fact that you will never been seen once lifting weights and you character may be kind of a slob who eats nothing but junk food and and has a job like a doctor or a writer.

 Can't say I've ever come across that before in a movie or TV show. Where does he usually keep them all? The deep freeze?
