This caught me by surprise. Disney movie club exclusive.

And they bungled the overture of course. Where’s Maximillian when you need him? 😕
IIRC, it was never included on the soundtrack album until the anthology boxset in the 90’s, so that might be part of the reason.
It may be a wretched hive of scum and villainy, but they’ve got excellent musical taste! 😛
I watched a few minutes of The Phantom Menace on TBS over the weekend, and noticed for the first time there are little droids picking up and putting the downed battle droids on the Naboo grassland into tidy heaps after the Gungans have lost. Prequel Lucas would never show dead Gungans being stacked of course. 😉

You should update your previous thread instead of starting a new one.
Looks like there will be a mini Battle For Endor cast reunion at a con next year.

In before Wilford Brimley is still alive? jokes.
Given his backstory, he would have had to maintain that facade on Naboo for decades as he rose up the ranks in government. Lucas could have made it easier on himself had he just not gone there and left the Emperor’s appearance in ROTJ be a shocking surprise as it once was in 1983. Or just have Palpatine’s appearance begin to subtly change in ROTS after Anakin saves him, hinting at the corruption of his body in the years to come.
I do like the idea of a Sith lord feeding off the pain and suffering of others. That idea has been around a long time in horror fiction.
I think Battle For Endor is slightly different from my off air copy. At least one minor line change, and the credits play out over black instead of a freeze frame of the last shot. Broadcast tapes would have had commercial breaks in them.
I guess I should dig out my Laserdiscs one of these days.
They did that badly in the UK? And I’ve never heard of a print being destroyed just because a movie did badly. I’ve seen prints of Howard The Duck on Ebay over the years. 😉
Not everything rusts away submerged in water.
Have any prints ever actually come up for sale though? I talked with a film collector recently and they’ve been looking for both movies for quite some time.
The wreckage has been battered by the elements for decades though.
People sometimes forget to renew a domain name.
And that’s Eric Idle, not George Harrison, just so you know…
The gif is too large/long to be embedded here (and already posted in the SW News thread - though worthy of a re-post here) and also another look…
‘this is what @starwars fandom is all about’:-
That warms the cold recesses of my heart.
And I imagine all the bad guys were struggling to stay in character.
Uhh…
I fear the only way we’ll ever get TBC is if they do a remake.
I’ve streamed 4K HDR from Amazon, VUDU, and Movies Anywhere, and it looks great. Definitely better than a 1080p blu-ray and almost as good as a 4K UHD disc. But I’ve yet to stream anything from anyone that sounds as great as a disc.
Still, if you can stream 4K HDR, just do it! I remember the old days of trying to rotate the antenna on the roof to make the picture stop rolling, so I think all this streaming is great!
That wasn’t the antenna’s fault, it was a bad vertical control knob. 😛
When I was a kid, I would get up early to watch Hanna Barbera’s World Of Super Adventure on the kitchen tv, which somehow picked up the signal from a distant New York station so long as I held onto the rabbit ears with one hand.
I’m sure it will be much more convincing than this. 😉

Who the heck has the bandwith for 4K streams? I live out in the sticks and 1080 is a crapshoot on any given day. Disney barely seems to care about their back catalog on physical media beyond their animated classics and Marvel flicks these days.
The old, they’ll never think to look for us where we had a secret base forty years ago ploy. 😉
A friendly reminder to play nice, kids.
Let’s hope they don’t accidentally upload the shooting script or anything. 😉
The original Lion King definitely borrowed from an older story.
IIRC, footage from the Rocky Horror episode was on the original two disc RHPS DVD from the early 2000’s.
