Interesting that none of those guys look like any of Jabba’s henchmen we know. The guy shooting Luke’s hand would make for a cool action figure though.
I just don’t think I have that kind of time to devote to film dissection. This site is enough of a time sink as it is. 😉
When the analysis is longer than the movie, I have to wonder if that way lies madness. Even the loony Room 237 is shorter than The Shining itself!
You catch on pretty quick. 😉
Between SW and ESB, I only recall Luke encountering Obi Wan in a dream state as he lay in a deep coma/state of shock caused by inadvertently touching Vader’s mind in his first attempt at meditating.

Are you sure you really want to stir up that chamber pot?
How did you manage to see it so early?
Wasn’t it said or implied she had flown the Falcon before, or did I hallucinate that?
No, she specifically states that the Falcon hasn’t flown in years.
She seems pretty knowlegeable about the systems though.

Wasn’t sure where to post this, but seems relevant for the fate of future screenings.

Will be interesting to see if this becomes SOP for Fox films in the post merger era, or a short term blip on the radar.
And yet, it’s those vibrant colors many a comic based film tries to emulate. I had reprints of Fantastic Four and Batman when I was a kid, and I appreciate that they didn’t futz with the colors now. Probably because they hadn’t thought of it, or didn’t want to spend money on doing so. Recoloring comics is almost as bad as colorizing black and white movies. At least those films have disclaimers about how they were altered from the original.
And wow, good catch! Was the coloring on 4-LOM always like that? Makes him look like a cyclops rather than an insect headed droid.
Yeah, special editioning the comic was possibly the dumbest thing they could have done.
Why can’t they just use the original coloring? Did they lose the negatives or something?
It wouldn’t surprise me if their desire to curb the bootleg market played a small role in their decision, too. Not because they’re losing more than a negligible amount of money from bootlegs and fan preservations, because they’re not, but rather because it looks a little bad for the brand.
If that was the rationale, there might be a glimmer of hope for that other heavily bootlegged film they keep hiding in the vault.
The only thing worse was their dull muted recoloring of the Marvel originals. The anonymous kid who colorized the black and white Star Wars Weekly issues I once bought at a curio shop could have done better. 😛
Why would we need disguises? And Lucasfilm hasn’t been in L.A. since the '70’s.
Even a small donation helps.
We’re in good shape currently.

So, the forum is not turning into a pumpkin at midnight anytime soon. 😃
It might have been a short lived experiment just in California. And the selection was fairly small. There were a few dedicated LD shops in the Los Angeles area back then. (New York had at least one LD shop I had a catalog from.) Dave’s Video The Laser Place in Studio City near Universal Studios had quite the rental library. I borrowed my Dad’s credit card just to rent the Japanese import of Star Wars so I could finally watch it in widescreen at home. 😉
Have I ever mentioned I once rented LD’s from Blockbuster that had those be kind rewind stickers on them? 😛
Yeah, I’d be interested to know how many Marvel movie adaptations were done without seeing the finished film. Did they all feature scenes that were ultimately cut? Jack Kirby’s version of 2001: A Space Odyssey being the exception as it was done around 1976.
I recall Marvel’s Battlestar Galactica adaptation ran into similar issues. The artists got too close to the actor likenesses somewhere in the middle of the run. They also ran afoul of the differences between the theatrical and tv versions of the pilot, and other last minute changes, like the Cylons being reptilian creatures instead of robots who turned on the flesh and blood Cylons. Baltar was also inexplicably drawn bald in the super sized edition.
I would guess they were working off black and white stills as happened with the SW adaptation, so nobody knew what the actual colors were? How else can one explain purple Yoda?
On the flip side of the coin, I vaguely recall some Gold Key Star Trek comics with wrong uniform colors in the mid 70’s, when finding out what the proper colors were should have been as easy a catching a TOS rerun. 😉
I don’t recall Episode III ending this way. 😛

And the apparent sith lord casually going down in the background just makes it even more funny! 😃
Then we’d have to rename the site to originalSEtrilogy.com 😛
If the OOT was 4K only, would that be something of a dick move? I’m sure I’m not the only one rocking with just 1080p.
DVD combos seem to be falling out of fashion these days in favor of digital download codes. All the 4K stuff I’ve seen for sale only includes a Blu-Ray as it is.
