Anthony Daniels tweeted this out earlier today,

which means we’re definitely getting some big piece of news this week, even if it’s not the title.
Revenge Of The Droids 😉
I think some people are getting too antsy about the title. Must be a slow day on twitter. 😉
Good point. There always seems to be more unused/deleted footage from each film than they ever let on about. Look at the stuff from the OT that we didn’t know existed until it was shown at Celebration.
Hopefully she’s wearing this costume from the movie, or maybe one we didn’t see before in the finished film?
I didn’t mind the other outfit, it showed she was not having any of the trappings of royalty and could relate to the troops. It also echoed her Hoth outfit in Empire.
There are so many ways now that they can digitally manipulate the Leia footage, (while preserving Carrie’s performance) I doubt integrating it into new sequences will be a major problem.
I was the only bidder on an auction for an '82 RCA CED of Dr No this weekend ($0.99) which I have sent to -1. His CED player (like most of them these days) is very hit and miss, and the discs can be equally troublesome, so there are no guarantees that he’ll be able to play it at all, but with a little luck he should be able to confirm or deny the existence of any deleted scenes on the disc.
There is a facebook group for CED that has a lot of knowledgeable members and info with regards to repairs and replacement stylus cartridges for most RCA players.

I guess no Super Bowl teaser this year? We’re probably going to get a teaser attached to Avengers Endgame in April.
Going by the example of that theater that showed an original 35mm print for free before they closed down several years back, you’re probably safe. And they certainly didn’t keep it unadvertised.
On the other side of the coin, there was a bar that got into trouble showing the OT on video, probably because they had paying customers, (buying drinks) or they did it too many times. So just don’t pocket the concession money or anything. 😉
Any experts on the legality of such a thing feel free to chime in though.
Referencing Trek V? Discovery opened up a can of worms with that plotline. 😉
eyebrows convey so much emotion. People without them look pretty alien
Hey, Michael Berryman can’t help the way he looks.
Duracell, could you chop down your sig a tad? It’s causing problems on mobile devices.
I don’t think Rey ever had time or a safe place to explore dating on Jakku, (there’s no evidence she ever even had a casual friend) so her discomfort with seeing Ben shirtless made sense to me. The movies would likely never broach the subject, but her fighting skills are as much about keeping lecherous scavengers at bay as it is daily survival on a hostile planet.
Unless Lucas hid them away in that exact replica of the booby-trapped temple from Raiders in his basement. 😉

Uh, I mean thank you! 😃
Isn’t that what the SE’s started out as? Before George decided to make them into test beds for the prequels.
Booyah! Did they get a six foot mouse knocking on their door? 😛
That would be a bit of a middle finger for those of us who have been waiting for a physical media release all these years.
ILM lucked out pulling the Phantom Menace Boss Nass model out of digital mothballs, and plugging it into their then current software they were using on Episode III, according to the commentary track.
Now it probably would be easier to start from scratch if they redid the SE shots. Between the sequels and Rogue One, they have nearly all the OT ships they need already rendered?
What’s wrong with Ewoks blinking?
Because the CGI effect is awful, and makes Wicket horrifying?
Ewoks should be horrifying.
I thought Teebo was scary looking.
He looks like he would happily skin you alive, eat your liver, and wear your face as a hat. I don’t think we see much of him after our heroes get captured, which makes me wonder if Lucas shunted him into the background for being less cute and more fierce. And in the Ewoks cartoon, he got the cute makeover, and looks nothing like he did in ROTJ.
I feel like the Death Star existing at all ruins all of Star Wars, from a certain point of view.
The Americans have built (and used) the nuke, what does everyone else do? They build their own, of course! Why doesn’t the Republic start building Death Stars after VI, or, better yet, why doesn’t the Empire build like 20 after their rise to power? Realistically the sequel trilogy should be about two sides having nuclear bombs pointed at each other yelling.
But it’s Star Wars, so it doesn’t need to make realistic, logical sense. The expanded universe tells us all the reasons that this doesn’t happen. Moviegoers don’t get that info, but they don’t care because the story is about the characters.
The Atomic Bomb is different because it has never been used by bad people. It’s two proper uses were the lesser of two evils at a time of world war. But if North Korea started decimating cities with no weapons, I’d bet the entire world would illegalize nukes once North Korea’s dealt with.
My sweet summer child…
Geneva Convention?
There is good evidence the bombs did not have to be dropped and that the US did so to let the USSR know they had them.
I agree that the U.S had an ulterior motive for using the bombs. But it’s not like Operation Downfall was a great looking alternative, and that’s what it would come to if much of the Japanese army leadership had their way.
And let’s not derail the thread by getting too deep into real world historical debates.

Some of the original Ewok masks did blink. Hard to see in the movie, but it’s there.
Never thought such a thing could happen while Paul and Ringo are still around. There had been rumors they didn’t want any of that unused footage to see the light of day. Let It Be hasn’t had a video release since the early 80’s. I think MTV showed it once during a Beatles weekend in the early 90’s. At least the days of insane prices for the VHS/Beta/Laserdisc are at an end.
I wish something like this could happen to many hours of documentary footage shot for The Shining and Full Metal Jacket.
I wonder why it says “music recorded at…” BETWEEN the frames.
The credit scroll goes outside the image we would see projected. I’ve seen this with a 35mm print of The Shining.
Uh, S.W. that link directs to an entirely different but certainly interesting “feature”, perhaps worthy of a preservation in itself. 😄
😃 Here’s the correct URL, I hope:
Some new crap from Ebay with linking to completed auctions I guess? Thanks for the correction!
As you can see from this 35mm print, TMWTGG is a mixture of open matte and hard matted shots.

Remove this thread, and all that will be left is what he’s said about OT in his livestream. We ought to have our side of the story told?
Someone could easily start a new thread about it if they don’t see this one. And we’re allowed to simply talk about edits don’t support. If that situation ever changes, we cross that bridge when we get to it. The editor in question has a lot more to worry about from the Mouse than we do.
Also, everything involving slave Leia is gross and I hate it. It almost ruins her character just so George can sell a couple of horny nerds some posters.
If there were any posters back in 1983, I never saw them, and I got a lot of posters that year. I’m surprised the Rolling Stone cover never became a poster.
The only 80’s merchandise Im aware of was one of the Buger King glasses and that was quite tame.
We didn’t even get an action figure until 1997!
Carrie always seemed a good sport about it, showing off a statue in her one woman show. She did joke that she did not give George the merchandising rights to her nether regions.
