Oh god they’re doing it. They’re releasing this random stuff and not the OOT.

I think it will show up on Disney+ eventually.

I remember someone here either really loving or really hating this character. Probably both.

Available for pre-order Friday, March 19, at 10 a.m. PT.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! May the Guinness be with you!

Maybe they aren’t putting Droids up yet because they think it will cause confusion with A Droid Story.

does Disney plus currently have From Star Wars To Jedi The Making OF A Saga on the platform ?

I don’t think so. They have a lot of deleted scenes, trailers, and a few features like Anatomy of a Dewback and such, but the only making of docs I’ve seen in the special features are The Director and the Jedi (The Last Jedi) and The Skywalker Legacy (The Rise of Skywalker). And of course Empire of Dreams has an entry all to itself. I think it’s interesting the special features of A New Hope has a Navajo language version.

I’m seeing April 2nd as the date. Not long at all! Hope they make all this official soon.

I still want Star Wars Detours.

This makes me think if there is ever a release of the unaltered theatrical versions of the original trilogy, it will be streaming on Disney+ only and not on a disc.

The cover of High Republic comic #6, Avar Kriss on a rancor!

I can’t believe we will see a release of the Ewok movies before the unaltered theatrical original trilogy. If they put the Holiday Special up, that’d be insane.

Sounds like something is definitely coming to Disney+, but nothing official yet. Various sites are reporting different lists of content. The titles I’m seeing listed most often are both Ewok movies, the Ewok animated series, and the original Clone Wars animated series. I’ve even seen the Holiday Special mentioned, but I seriously doubt that. No sign of the Droids series or Star Wars Detours, but you never know. Hope something official is announced soon!

Sorry if this has already been posted previously. I didn’t see it, but it’s been around a while. It’s one of my favorites.

Website with lots of pics and interviews from the Star Wars 40th reunion (not Star Wars Celebration).

Scroll down and there is a 10 minute interview with Marcia Lucas and Duwayne Dunham.

Never miss a chance to celebrate Star Wars or an opportunity to draw attention to the lack of the original theatrical availability.

I wouldn’t call myself “pro-George” nor am I anti-George. That video (How Star Wars was saved in the edit) has been around a few years and I’ve posted it several places.

I see a lot of people on two sides where George is either a saint or the devil incarnate. That video is a conversation starter for both. I see comments claiming it’s misleading because George was actually hands on during the editing process and oversaw their work, while others use it as an example of how the people around George actually created Star Wars more so than he did.

Everyone references this or that article or interview, book and video. My interpretation is the truth falls somewhere between, as often is the case.

George’s star got really bright, and the creative contribution of some others got overlooked. Is this George’s fault? I’d say somewhat. They say every time you remember something, your brain changes it a little. It’s been over 40 years. George probably thinks a lot of things happened ways they actually didn’t.

Did George create everything or just chose what he wanted from the creative work of others? Did he invent technology or just push others to create it? Again, probably some of both.

I wish George would share the creative spotlight a little more and stop revising history. I wish he would be more of a brand ambassador like Stan Lee was for Marvel. But it is what it is. Star Wars wouldn’t be what it is without a lot of important people. Not sure you can remove any of them and be where we are today.

Is that really the extent of the changes to Empire of Dreams? I thought it was something more significant.

Without George Lucas, there would be no Star Wars. Period. Does he get credit for the work of others? Yes. Does he revise history to make things seem more perfect? Absolutely. I think we all do though.

It look a lot of people doing their best work to create Star Wars. He didn’t do it all alone, but he had the vision that it could be done and made it all possible.

We are able to poke holes in his revisionist facade and peer deeper into what actually happened and see how significant the contributions of others really were. I think that’s important to do. Other people deserve their share of the spotlight too. I just think there’s room in Star Wars to credit multiple people as geniuses. Can’t we just elevate those others without tearing George down?

The only things he’s done I don’t like are the suppression of the original theatrical releases, and some of the things he said around the release of the GOUT were out of line. Other than that, I’m thankful he created something so important to me.

I’m glad the video emphasizing the work of the editors is out there. They likely played a larger role than they get credit for.

I still thank George too though.

The Force will be with you, always.

What about the Empire Of Dreams documentary? It says “edited for content” in the beginning. Anybody notice what they cut out?

Broom Kid said:

I think it’s been determined the editing was done to remove the original theatrical footage from the doc and replace it with the current cuts? I believe that’s the case. Everything else seems to be exactly the same.

Is there a list somewhere of the changes to Empire of Dreams? I can’t seem to find one.

I heard it was difficult, which is why I haven’t played it yet.

Another petition perhaps?

We’re coming up on the 45th anniversary of Star Wars. Any plans?
