A good script doctor only helps if you use what they bring you. I doubt George did.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Jack is dead at the end (and Ashi takes his place or something), but yeah I think they’ve probably done their service to the harakiri/seppuku possibility. Which is pretty cool honestly because it’s such a big part of samurai culture but was obviously never even something that would have been so much as mentioned on the show when it was more kid-aimed.
Not to mention evil spirits trying to drive the hero into committing it.
Not sure I like the severed head assassin robot shtick. And the penis joke just seemed gratuitous. I almost did a spit take when I heard it.
The flashbacks and references to past episodes was cool. I don’t think I ever caught the one with the never-ending dance rave people though.
And just who was that mysterious creature giving directions outside the bar?
The really big issue the show has tapdanced around from the beginning is if Jack succeeds, the Aku “future” ceases to exist, or is overwritten. None of Jack’s allies will remember him, if they exist at all?
LEGO has that in the pipeline, or is someone really good at making ships based on scant shots from the teaser?
This could be a tad spoilerish for some. 😉
I’ve only seen the trailers, but they were kind of restrained with the CGI, and at least attempted to stay true to the look of the strip. Pity Fox seems more interested in Blu Sky Studios cranking out more Ice Age sequels than doing something new.
And when was the last Peanuts theatrical feature? 1980?
It’s just that Pablo guy isn’t it? There have to be some people deep inside Lucasfilm who love the originals as much as we do. George would never have allowed the GOUT discs without some gentle persuasion.
And yeah, Lucas’ own words might be the best thing to say on the 25th.
I want a buddy comedy with these guys. 😉

It’ll be like The Odd Couple, only in space…
After seeing the Satanist/atheist version of The Ministry/Crucifixion ON RESSURECTION SUNDAY, I hope the Vatican keeps O’Reilly until they all go off to Hell.
What the heck are you rambling on about??
I’m not sure there is such a thing as the “Satanist/Atheist version of the Crucifixion”. I mean, what?!? …Unless you’re talking about the film “The Last Temptation of Christ”. Yes, that film is all kinds of straight up wrong.But then, if you object to it, why would you watch it? And on Easter Sunday?
Even so, what does Easter have anything to do with Bill O’Reilly and why should “the Vatican keep [him]”?!?
Maybe it has something to do with one of Bill’s books?

I don’t follow industry news that closely, if at all. And it’s your nickel. 😉
Show me a project or script that didn’t get made because China didn’t like it.
Since when is China bankrolling Lucasfilm productions?
I’m booking you two a room at the Clown Motel if you don’t start ignoring each other.

China was definitely not part of the equation back then. Only the huge potential audience there has made Hollywood seemingly overcome it’s scorn of what has long been a paradise for video piracy.
43rd anniversary edition doesn’t have as nice a ring to it though. 😉
Star Wars was a worldwide success back in the day. So much so, it was still playing in some countries as ESB was being made, and an international re-release strategy was being planned.
They totally stole that from Star Trek, which has had sonic showers since at least 1979. 😉

Let the corporate greed flow! 😉
Less butthurt, more civility.
This bickering is pointless!
Which reminds me, if they ever shot Vader getting a hot cup of joe during that scene, (as depcited in the novel and comic) it would have been shown at celebration this year. 😉
Break it up, or get a room.
Several other people have expressed the same idea I have but for some reason I’m the only one he has a problem with.
But you are the one being obnoxious. And you either know this and are playing dumb, or you’re actually dumb.
How was he obnoxious in asking a legitimate question? If you know what sort of pact Disney entered into with Lucas with regards to the OOT, enlighten us, because we’re not privy to it.
Yeah, makes me wonder…

There likely will not be an official release of the Star Wars trilogy on home video until the copyrights expire and we get a good public domain release.
OOT on cerebral cortex insertion disc 2073!
2142 actually…

But who here has time to wait for the end of western civilization?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain_film :
Due to the U.S. Copyright Term Extension Act, no more films will automatically enter public domain in the United States until January 1, 2019, when the copyright will expire on films released in 1923 (and in 2020 films from 1924, and so on).
Isn’t Disney the king of keeping IP’s private though? Mickey Mouse…
I wasn’t disputing at all that this would happen fairly close to when the sun explodes, just that this is how long we’ll have to wait, regardless of how long the wait is.
Which means only this guy will ever be able to watch the OOT. 😉
FTFY
Does the sun go supernova in that episode? 😉
