I never believed the idea that George had some special clause in the contract to not release the Originals, but now I’m starting to.
I’m not too sure. I think it’s money and interest.
The way they avoid commenting on the subject makes me think there is more to it.

I wouldn’t expect anything until a boxed set after Episode IX is released, and I wouldn’t get my hope up too high even then! Enjoy Harmy’s Despecialized and hopefully 4K77 soon.
Please! Expect complete silence regarding the originals for the foreseeable future. It’s the only way to remain sane. I allowed myself to get my hope up for the 40th at Celebration for no reason at all. As soon as George walked out I knew it wasn’t going to happen.
I watched the red carpet event for The Last Jedi. I was surprised George Lucas wan’t there. If he did attend, he wasn’t interviewed. He was at The Force Awakens event. I hate that he is getting more distant from the franchise. If they do release the Originals, then he would probably disappear entirely.
There’s no wrong way to watch Star Wars.
This is a great video explaining more about how it works:

Here is a trailer for Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire:
This opens on December 16th at Disney Springs in Orlando and January 5th at Downtown Disney in Anaheim. I’ve already got tickets. Anyone else going to give it a try?
You can purchase tickets at https://www.thevoid.com/
When you buy tickets, you reserve an exact time so no huge lines. It says to arrive at least 10 minutes early and plan on the experience lasting about 30 minutes. I can’t wait. This sounds awesome!

A galaxy far, far away needs your help. In teams of four, be transported with family and friends in a brand new hyper-reality experience from Lucasfilm, ILMxLAB and The VOID.
Under the orders of the budding rebellion, your team will travel to the molten planet of Mustafar. Your mission is to recover Imperial intelligence vital to the rebellion’s survival. Alongside the pragmatic droid K-2S0, your team must navigate through an enemy facility walking into danger at every turn. Disguised as stormtroopers, grab your blaster, solve puzzles, and fight giant lava monsters in an effort to fulfill your team’s orders.
Pushing the boundaries of location-based virtual reality, The VOID and ILMxLAB bring the Star Wars universe to life through a multi-sensory, untethered story.
The VOID is a full sensory, immersive experience, with you, your friends and family walking around inside the action. It’s location-based entertainment – that means you visit one of our locations – and you walk into real-time hyper-reality that combines interactive sets, real-time effects and amazing technology.

I know not many will agree, but the Lego Star Wars games are the best Star Wars video games right now.
I can’t wait for the last episodes, but I’m going to be sad to see these characters go. What a great show!
Isn’t 4K77 supposed to be out before Christmas?
I want 4K77 so bad!
Kenobi has to meet a girl at some point or how else could he be Rey’s father?
Andi Gutierrez from The Star Wars show talking about the new trilogy:
Now can we get the Fox fanfare and the Lucasfilm logo on the next blu ray set?
That’s all you’re hoping for SW wise?
“Well, you have to start somewhere.” - Orson Krennic
They own a lot of franchises. I hope Fantastic Four goes back to Marvel, but the X-men and MCU stay separate. I wouldn’t mind if they changed Tomorrowland in Disney World to Futurama though. More Bender is always good.

Han Solo was mapped out to shoot first but he changed that too.
- Disney got some complaints about how violent and sad Rogue One was, especially in comparison to mostly lighthearted (and also PG-13) TFA. I mean, yes TFA had action but it was a cartoony sort of action. Rogue One was a flat out war movie.
TFA had the opening where an entire village is slaughtered and also had Han Solo murdered pretty brutally.
Wasn’t there a scene in Rogue One where Gin pushed a small child into a laserbolt?
That’s why they say eyewitness evidence is the least reliable evidence there is.
Han’s got friends in Solo places.
When we can finally all agree on how much of a failure ROTS was, it will truly be a beautiful day.
Star Wars fans? Agree on something? Ha!
Can we all agree that we can’t wait to see The Last Jedi?!
On a more general level, the forum has been cleaned up a lot lately and I’m very glad it is happening. Less toxicity = happier times.
Yub nub!
^ Not helping, Frink.
Sorry. But impscum has contributed nothing but negativity for a long, long time. Celebrating the fact that the forum continues to grow more enjoyable doesn’t seem unreasonable.
I agree.
Rebels is extremely well written and the characters are very well developed. I wish the prequels were half as good.
