Maybe have the new trilogy take place thousands of years ago. Knights of the Old Republic slightly. Only worth it seeing in cinemas, not worth owning, even as a gift or a present. I’ve refused since 2006.
No, I don’t need to explain.

Are you saying you haven’t bought any Star Wars video releases in the past decade? If you’ve been downloading projects sourced from those, you have some explaining to do.

I haven’t wasted my time downloading any Star Wars projects. Of course I have downloaded projects for the multitude of other movies I have in my collection. Not even sure if I’ve even posted in the Star Wars preservation or fan edit sub-forums.
I’ll quit derailing the thread with the nonsensical bullshit explanations about my collection and focus on what the thread topic is about. Does this Trilogy need the Episode moniker with it or can it stand on its own? I’d choose the latter. Would I go see this in cinemas? Why not?

Is that your final answer? Your post history tells me a different story.

I’m not posting the pic directly because it contains a spoiler we haven’t really discussed here. I know this is a spoiler thread but this is a big one.

So…anyone wanna talk about this?

I think the big shocking twist will be that Luke has always been bad even throughout the OT. Does it make sense? nope but I’m thinking they will do abit of retconning.

Does it mean Porgs are Force neutral? Sometimes a cool image on a drinking glass is just a cool image on a drinking glass.

There are limits to free speech. The old you can’t yell fire in a crowded movie theater when there isn’t a fire example. Anybody who embraces fascism has to take all the murderous sick and twisted blood soaked baggage that goes with it. You want be a friendly neighborhood Nazi? Sucks to be you. My grandfather and a lot of other people’s grandfathers were in WWII so we don’t have to put up with that sh*t.

Warbler, please apologize and let’s move on?

CD’s were built upon Laserdisc specs as is every optical disc format we’ve had since. Probably a cash cow to those who own the original Discovision design patents. There was CD Video, with one music video, (which takes up a lot of the disc space being uncompressed analog) and a few songs. A CD player just ignores the video segment.
This is the only CD Video I own, issued as part of a Bowie boxset. Image briefly fooled around with calling 12 inch LD’s CD Video which probably only confused consumers new to the format.

If it was possible to put the new movies out on Laserdisc I’d probably buy them. 😉

It’d be neat if some new movies got limited LaserDisc releases every now and then, but then I suppose the technological infrastructure doesn’t exist anymore.

I had read the last LD production plant in the U.S. was shuttered after a run of Dragon’s Lair discs for arcade game collectors in 2002. Recordable LD tech does exist, but isn’t compatible with the consumer format AFAIK. A dedicated Regular Show fan wanted to make a disc as a gift to the show’s creators, (who did a hilarious episode revolving around a rare film on an LD and efforts to find a player to watch it) but obviously hit a dead end.

It might actually be easier for Pioneer to reverse engineer a new player than to bring back the disc manufacturing technology itself.

The resurgence in Vinyl is stressing one of the few (if not the only) pressing plants left in the U.S., and most of their machinery is pushing 50 years old!
